People Are Sharing Their Examples Of ‘Neighbors From Hell’ On This Instagram Page (30 Pics)
“Love your neighbor as yourself” is easy to say and hard to do. Some of us are fortunate enough to have lovely neighbors who bake us homemade pies and invite us over for a barbeque (don’t worry, they have plenty of veggies to grill if you’re vegan). The rest of us are… well, far less lucky in whom we live next to.
There are neighbors from heaven and then there are neighbors from hell. They play loud music at night. They take your parking spot. They make your life miserable. And sometimes they end up on the Neighbors From Hell Instagram page, dedicated to collecting the best of the worst neighbor experiences. Scroll down and check some of these stories out and don’t forget to upvote your fave ones. Let us know in the comments what the worst neighbors you’ve ever had were like and read on for some tips on how to deal with jerk neighbors.

Wish my neighbours kids only left things over the line by 3 inches. The cycle all the way around my family's cars on my drive and keep falling off.
The Neighbors From Hell IG community is 269k people strong and anyone can send them a submission. Send them a quick message if you’re enduring neighborly hell at the moment.
Dealing with bad neighbors is a delicate situation. You have to be diplomatic yet firm, tough but fair if you want to live peacefully. There are several different types of jerk neighbors. From racket makers and slobs to careless pet owners and worse.
Was "awkward mine is down too it must be a widespread problem" so hard to type?!
Real estate expert Barbara Corcoran told Today that the best way to avoid bad neighbors is to spot them early. So if you’re planning on buying or renting a new property, have a drive around the neighborhood at night to see how people in the area behave like when the sun goes down. Also, have a chat with the local store owners about what the locals are like.
However, what are you supposed to do if you’re already living next to someone who’s making your daily life hard to bear?
Haven't you heard? Cats belong to noone, you belong to them.
Well, the first step would be to set up a time to talk to your neighbor in person about what’s bothering you. The important thing is not to accuse them (people always get defensive when someone does that) but to let them know what’s bothering you and to suggest ways to solve the issue. Together.
Chances are a friendly chat or two might work. But if they don’t, talk to your local neighborhood or building association and ask them to step in. And if that doesn’t work and your neighbors continue to be aggressively disruptive, call your local precinct.
OMG, I just snort laughed. I don't think he will forget all about the fires after the burn you just gave him.
Drink it black next time you k**b. Though people should realise that the most experienced burglars know the places where you're likely to hide a key and those hide a key things really aren't that hidden.
Simple solution, remove their rear license plate and replace it with a sign "I need to learn to park.". The police will surely be interested and draw his attention to this message.
Problem of this approach is that THEY know where you live, and you don't know where they'll be living.
Wait, the blue balloons show that "Chelsea" is the person who sent this in & "The monster" is the supposed Neighbour-from-Hell?! I'm confused.
I have a neighbour like that and in all honesty it's annoying as f**k. The whole floor can hear her yap about nonsense on the phone for hours and she makes no effort to keep her voice down, it's like she's yelling all the time. We all know that modern apartment buildings have paper-thin walls and most people make an effort to not bother their neighbours more than necessary.

What all this means is that building standards are way too low. People aren't going to change, so wall thickness criteria will have to.
They are living in apartments that are to cheaply made. Time to move. You get what you paid for.

What I really don't understand is why do all these people have each others numbers? They are clearly not friends
That's a text you do not answer. Then you walk around having fictitious phone conversations about Chelsea, the nosy idiot who lives next door.
I am so glad that the person I share an apartment wall with is my sister.
Ugh, not everyone likes to text and I am one of them. I prefer phone calls coz they are usually quicker when I need information or organise something.
I HATE phones. Texting must have been invented by introverts FOR introverts. I'm always paranoid that I'll call at an inconvenient time. But a few weeks ago, I decided to "woman up" and CALL my brother about a question about arranging for a tow truck. I was SO proud of myself. Until he picked up in a whisper because he was on the golf course and the ring had disturbed and annoyed his fellow golfers. So, dammit. I'll never make a phone call again!

Wow I would of texted her back said f**k off and mind your own business
What I don't get is how all these neighbours who hate each other, have each others numbers.
In all fairness, some people have shrill voices that carry through walls and they have no awareness of it. I can see how it would drive someone insane after a while. My neighbor from hell stands on her deck across the street talking on the phone and I can hear every word she says even with my windows closed in my house. I don't know how her husband stands to listen to her. She makes me want to jam an oyster fork in my ear.
I'm pretty lucky -- post-divorce I moved into an over 55 apartment building where I think everyone tries to be considerate of each other's privacy. Actually, I hadn't realized the walls were so thin until I just got a new neighbor and apparently she put the head of her bed directly on the other side of the wall where the head of mine was and I could hear every little cough and sigh. Considering that I have an annoyingly unpleasant chronic cough (and no, I never smoked), I didn't want to be rage-murdered by her someday -- so I just spent the last three days rearranging my bed to the inside wall instead. Hopefully, that will save me! But, yeah, if I had to hear someone yap on the phone 24/7, that would drive me to rage-murder sprees.
I'm glad I'm not your neighbor. You seem like one of those talkers

R0TFL - for real, because I have the same crazy neighbor leaving me notes just like this! Now I know what to say in return: " Gotta Go - have to make another CALLLLL!!! "
Reminds me that a neighbor of mine ince wanted to make out a time with me when I could listen to music as loud as I wanted for one hour daily... Didn't take that "deal". I listen to music whenever I want ffs...
Block with what?! You have to learn how to live next to each other, that's the point. Sadly, you can't just block them and forget about them in a second. :(

Ok just because someone is trying to start a trend on a term for something doesn't mean you have to use it. Don't be a follower, be a leader.

In my country it's actually illegal to make noise loud enough to bother your neighbours before 8am on weekdays and 10am on weekends.
Seems like Chloe from 1A finally had enough. It's quite amazing how some people think that rules never apply to them, even when they are warned.
Feel for both. Children want to learn to play and that's perfectly reasonable. Torture to listen to though. Had a singing coach living nearby and OML it was hell for a while. Now I have a neighbour with a son who isn't very committed to learning to play the drums - so at least it isn't very often or for very long!
Breaking in if you are not on the lease or mortgage is illegal. Don't know if s******g in someones bed is legal or not but it is absolutely disgusting.

Serious question:Its an American thing to have your neighbour's phone number? I don't even know all my neighbours...
No, definitely NOT an American thing. I was wondering the same thing; like who the hell has their neighbor's phone number? and WHY?! Why would you even want to talk to your neighbors? Most of them are asshats XD

i feel like a lot of these can be summed up in a meme sheldon-5e...1bb13e.jpg 
Thankfully now a building regulation in the UK for walls, floors and ceilings to be properly insulated.

How are all these people giving out their phone numbers to all their neighbours who they clearly hate or barely know?
I guess it's the power of social media where people feel the need to post everything for the world to know, including addresses and phone numbers.
Load More Replies... My neighbor thinks I've been playing "loud thumping" music from 10pm-5/6am. Sent me anonymous card in the mail and told the condo people. 1. I tend to sleep during that time. 2. Don't have a stereo that can play anything loud. My tv isn't even plugged in. And they still don't believe me!
It's probably coming from a vehicle that's parked outside somewhere.
Load More Replies... I don't know half of my neighbors' names let alone their phone number. These people are all crazy and seem to enjoy drama.
these dont remburse my faith that humanity will last another 75 years but dang they sure are funny
Am I the only one who scrolled all the way down to the bottom and looked at the hidden ones? lol
LOL. My crazy neighbour was legit crazy, and would knock on my door to complain about me spying on her thoughts and sending her messages thru my kitchen tap to 'punish her'. I was kind of sorry for the crazy lady, but not really after the fourth visit in 24hrs. I got to the point were I would open the door, see her, and just say, "No, Ginny." and close the door. There is no point engaging with crazy. I ended up tracking down one of her family members through another neighbour, and asking them to help her get her medications adjusted.
I'm glad you looked to help her instead of ignoring her that was kind of you

To be fair a lot of these sound like playful banter between friends
Why do all these people have each other's phone numbers??? I have 1 neighbor's phone number in a huge apartment complex. In the UK I guess I had my neighbor's phone numbers.....not ALL my neighbor's just the 2 I was friends with. This whole thing seems a little sketchy
The apartment bldg I recently lived in people (Tenants) would use the Entry phone to call other Tenants if there was a problem like car lights left on.
I had a neighbor who lived above my apartment. When my boyfriend and I broke up he started hitting on me. He was 30 years older than me. It got creepy. He eventually told me that when he heard me and my boyfriend having sex he would turn down his tv and listen. Then he asked me out to dinner. More than once. He asked me to come over to his apartment for drinks often. I always said no. I started having my mom stay with me because I was truly creeped out by him.
....and *this* is why I never give my number out to neighbors, have security cameras inside and out, and don't have a hide a key outside. And can't wait until I can buy 20 acres of trees!
I am so lucky. I have a noisy parrot and my neighbour has a noisy dog, so we have this kind of pact where we don't complain about each other's creatures. Has worked for years.
I read these and think of things I would say to my neighbors, if only I had their phone numbers. My one neighbor built an 8 foot fence on literally 1/4 of his back fence, so as not to see/hear my kids. He also threatened to kill my dog and planted a tree positioned just so we wouldn't see my deck from his.
Why do these people have their neighbors numbers?! Don't do that! I don't talk to my neighbors, know anything about them, and don't care to.
You should see the ones BP didn't include here!

This made my day. I'm so glad my a*****e neighbor woes can now be vented on IG. Repeatedly calling 911 can become so tiresome.
Tiresome for the call takers too, and people with emergencies trying to call them as well.
