“Love thy neighbor” sounds lovely. On paper. But it’s an extremely hard idea to follow when your neighbors act like weirdos that can’t help but get up all in your business.
Drama between folks living next to one another can (and does) arise over pretty much anything and everything. Christmas lights that are up too early. Tomato plants that some confuse with pot plants. And who can forget the classics like getting angry that your neighbors don’t mow their lawn as often as you do?
The ‘Best of Nextdoor’ Twitter page does what it says on the tin and collects the most off-the-hook examples of neighborhood weirdness from the ‘Nextdoor’ app that’s meant to be a place for neighborly concerns, updates, and complaints. Check out some of the hilarious posts below and don’t forget to let us know which ones you liked best.

Jenn Takahashi from California is the mastermind behind the entire wholesome and lighthearted project. Her efforts since 2017 have amassed her a whopping 422k ardent supporters on Twitter, 57.8k fanatical fans on Instagram, and over 29k followers on Facebook.
What started with tweeting out posts shared with Jenn by her friends eventually snowballed into a huge community that sends in funny ‘Nextdoor’ tips.
The ‘Best of Nextdoor’ Twitter account is quite the celebrity-attractor on the net—it’s drawn in some big names from all around, according to SFGate. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, model Chrissy Teigen, and actors Angela Kinsey and Rainn Wilson are just some of her more notable followers. And who can blame them? Stars have neighbors, too.
If he had said that the plant was a Labia Minora the imbecile probably would have believed it too.
For the founder of ‘Best of Nextdoor,’ the project isn’t about the cash—it’s about the laughs. Or rather, sharing them with as many people as she can. She greatly enjoys making people’s day better and welcomes all of the positive feedback. So if you enjoyed her content, be sure to drop her a line and say ‘hi.’
Last year, Jenn would get around 50 submissions to look through each day and would narrow those down to the very best. Her rule of thumb is to look for peculiar stories that have funny and lighthearted elements to them. Anything that borders too much on the gritty side of realism is out of the question.
"I don't post anything that puts a damper on your day,” she told SFGate’s Amy Graff. Now that’s the kind of philosophy that Bored Panda can fully support.
To me that is actually a lot. Don’t see many Aussie flags at private residences/businesses. They are mainly at government buildings like schools, council offices, universities etc. They come out of the woodwork for Australia day though.
Sorry that was my dad. He farts in an aisle and quickly goes to the next aisle, away from the smell.
Most people don't choose their name themselves and so one can be fairly certain that his parents chose his. His name is Cristian, the Italian, Romanian and Spanish form of the male given name Christian.
It was fine till the MAGA part. I can't wait to see the orange porpoise drug out of the white house kicking and screaming.
Not just that, bread isn’t the best thing to be feeding birds anyway.
Why has there never been a Pixar raccoon movie? So much great material.
My package thief got a great bit of trim customized to my top stair. Useful for... nothing. :-)
I've met that HOA. Guessing it's run by the lady who objects to children playing outside in nice weather...
Omg, that is awful and super dangerous. Imagine what would happen if someone rear ended their car....Actually don’t.
I was a nerd at school and did actually study non-stop for 6 months for my finals. Let me tell you it‘s not healthy and if anyone does this, they need help. But sure, lady who probably never worked a day in her life, berate kids for daring to take a break. Especially at such a run-down place!
I love Ted Cruise posts. He's such a manly man, with his manly beard and rodent-like eyes (no offense meant, rodents. Just calling it like I sees it). He's God's gift to us all, especially when we need a good guffaw. How this weasel (again, apologies to rodents) is still a senator, I don't know.
Judging by the posts, these communities are doing a pretty decent job of it themselves without Russia's involvement.
Paranoia is strong with this one. Will also call the police when their security camera picks up someone WWB.
It kind of looks like a guy in a reflective hoodie bending down to tie his shoe or pick up a package.
I'm lucky if l get mine mowed once a fortnight....hell, give the grass a chance to grow...
Curb-side bikini waxing? If you've seen it once, you've seen it a Brazilian times...
AHHH, all the proof you need that there was voter fraud. WE NEED A RECOUNT. RIGGED ELECTIONS. OUR ESTEEMED LEADER WAS RIGHT!!! BIGLY TREMENDOUS FRAUD. /S
See, this person is an example of why everyone shouldn’t be allowed.
Huh? I just spent 5 minutes of my life that I'll never get back trying to figure out what the hell this word was before spell check massacred it. Still don't know. Someone please enlighten me before this becomes a mental earworm, completely taking over my fragile mental state.
I'd imagine ANY "backdoor pounding" is rude if you're just not into it.
When neighbours start talking, bad things happen. Very bad things. This is why I refuse to be on any neighbourhood groups/chats/lists. As a matter of fact don't talk to me in person either. I am not your friend. I just happen to live near you. Please leave me alone.
I'm blessed with amazing, helpful and friendly neighbours who know how to mind their own damn business most of the time but will help with anything if anyone is in need.
Load More Replies...Once joined such a group, but after reading how stupid my neighbors are I unsubscribed. I won't be able anymore to look anyone of them in the face and not laugh out loud for the next decade.
I have a rule wherever I live. I NEVER get to know my neighbours. If something goes wrong such as a falling out, you have to spend the rest of your time avoiding them. Nope, polite smile and a nod is enough for me.
Load More Replies...I got booted from next door b/c of a crazy woman who got mad b/c I said I don't eat at Chick Fil A and that I didn't think we needed yet another fast food place in town. She threatened to report every post I made (b/c I "wasn't letting people have their fun" by expressing an opinion apparently)and she did. They don't have any real admins so no one to look at her threat or why she kept reporting me for nothing. Just booted me out b/c I had a high rate of reports.
