We’re constantly reminded how we’re supposed to love our neighbors and treat others the same way that we’d like to be treated. While that works in theory, the sad fact is that politeness, basic respect, and even common sense are in extremely short supply these days. Unfortunately, some people have run out of all three and substituted them with spite, jealousy, and messiness.
We firmly believe that having good, cheerful, helpful neighbors is a gift from heaven. However, they’re pretty rare in this day and age. To help you value the people you live next to right now more, Bored Panda has collected posts about the very worst things that neighbors have ever done. Nobody should have to live next to these individuals. And we wouldn’t wish them even on our worst enemies.
Scroll down to see just how bad neighborly life can get, and upvote the posts that really got your hearts racing with disappointment and despair, Pandas. If you’d like to vent your anger about the people in your neighborhood, block, or building, feel free to do so in the comment section. There’s nothing like letting off a bit of steam to help you move forward.

Our Homophobic Neighbor Complained To The City That Our Trash Bins Are On The Side Of Our House. The City Said We Could Put Up A Lattice In Front Of The Bins
Hope she loves our new lattice!
Neighbor From Hell
Neighbors Moved Out, Took Their Cat’s Collar, But Not The Cat
Bored Panda spoke about neighborly life, and why we no longer seem to know who our neighbors are with Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D. She is a Licensed Counselor, Professor, and the Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University. She explained to us what has happened over the past half a century in the United States.
“A lot of things have changed over the last 50-60 years that have created obstacles to getting to know our neighbors,” she told us.

“We're more independent and less inter-dependent than we used to be. We're also more peripatetic—the number of people who grow up and stay in their hometowns or family neighborhoods has diminished so we don't have the connections with neighbors or others in the community that people used to cultivate over the years and even over generations,” the professor explained to Bored Panda.

So A Mexican Can't Be A US Citizen? True Trashy Neighbor
“We are often ‘strangers in a strange land’ when we move into new cities for our jobs,” Professor Degges-White said. Technological developments have also pushed us away from interacting with our neighbors.
“Something that we often don't think about if we're living in a modern home is that up until around 50 years ago, here in the US, air conditioning wasn't common, so people would sit outside on their front porches to stay cool. This ‘front porch sitting’ also led to conversations with neighbors who were strolling by.”

This Is Why I Can't Wait To Move! The Guy Across The Street Is A Pervert Scumbag Who Blocks Our Entire Street With RVs That He Repairs As A Side Business From His Home
They'll stay parked in front of his place for months. Guess what? There is NOTHING we can do about it! We live in a private community and the cops said they can't stop him we can only complain to the HOA but the guy is renting from friends of ours so we complain and our friends get in trouble not him. 3 more weeks.
My Neighbor “Allegedly” Refused To Pay The Guy Who Cleared His Backyard. He’ll Be Coming Home To This Gift Left In His Driveway
There was a somewhat similar story in France. The tenants left a house in disarray with garbage from floor to ceiling. Since it was in a small village, the landlord was able to find their new address, rented 5 trucks and dumped their trash on their front door. It was very public and in the news.
According to the professor, there was a focus on engagement, and folks wanted to “get to know their neighbors.”
“Kids also had a lot of free time that would be spent outside because there was more freedom to run, to be loud, and to engage with other kids in the neighborhood.”

Fast-forward to the present day, and things are very different. We may live more modern lives, but we’ve also become more isolated from the rest of the neighborhood. How we socialize and amuse ourselves has profoundly changed, as we increasingly rely on digital communication and entertainment.

“Now, thinking about today, many of us have AC in our homes, front porches have shrunk in size as we have seen the ‘backyard paradise’ expand,” Professor Degges-White said.
“People focus on their patios or decks, creating an ‘oasis’ away from the ‘real world.’ In addition, kids are hooked up to electronics, and the majority of their connecting and socializing with other kids is through electronic means,” she noted.

“Safety is another reason that folks are less likely to get to know their neighbors—kids don't have the free rein they once did to roam the block or run errands for their parents due to fears about abduction,” she said that there seems to be a general lack of trust in the people living around us.

We may not even be aware of how these stories affect us unless we pause to consider why we're hesitant to speak to a neighbor or wonder about why someone's shades are always drawn.”

Neighbor Tried To Scare Us Out Of Parking In Our Assigned Spot
We recently moved to a new apartment complex, and have out-of-state plates. Another person had been parking in the assigned covered spot we were given. We checked with the office and they said it was the spot for our apartment and the person had probably been parking there since it had been empty for a bit. They said we didn’t have to worry about being towed. I figured it was a person who was the second car in their apartment. My suspicion seems to be confirmed as three weeks later this person hasn’t parked in any other covered spot.

My Neighbors Put Spikes On Our Shared Fence To Stop Our Cats From Jumping Up
Unfortunately, cats do like to do their business in other people's gardens and people can get very sick of it, I suspect it's that and not just the cats jumping up (though people can be odd). I'd not put these spikes up in a million years (I like cats) but I have had to pick up more than my share of cat poo considering I don't have a cat right now. I do have two dogs and you'd think that would be off-putting but apparently not! Brave or daft, our neighbourhood moggies! Have had a fair number of killed birds as well that I've had to clear up - I'd rather deal with cat poo.

Received In The Mail From A Concerned Neighbor
I haven’t been able to care for my yard as much as I would like over the past few months because we had our second child back in February and I’ve been single-handedly caring for the newborn and our 5-year-old while my wife has been in the hospital recovering from postpartum complications. At no point has my yard been out of compliance with city or HOA ordinances, and at no point has anyone bothered to approach me directly about the matter. Instead, we just received this anonymous passive-aggressive letter in the mail. They even postmarked it and sent it through the mail, rather than walking a few doors down and speaking to me like a human being.

Just anything she could keep on her porch or in the yard she would. It was so ugly and ridiculous. Where are all the people stealing now? Never a porch pirate around when you need one.

My Neighbor’s House
Honestly, these people do not know the difference between criticism and being offended and secondly, these are the type of people who get offended the most. For example I don't give a s**t if somebody says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, but I guarantee the people from that house will get offended if somebody said "Happy Holidays" to them

This isn't necessarily a bad neighbour, accidents happen so unless there was some underlying issues between you it's unlikely to be due to some sort of malicious intent. Also I'm pretty sure you can still have your BBQ, Just clean up any debris to make the area as safe as possible and warn any visitors with young kids. (Some kids are a flight risk and don't understand dangers like busy roads)

My Neighbor Is An Idiot. Hacked A Huge Portion Of My Front Lawn Down To Dirt Because He "Thought The Property Line Was At The Tree"
There's a permanent fence line and patio area that clearly line the property and he's lived her for 2 years and has never done this before.
I'll admit, I have totally done this. Not on purpose, but I was just not paying attention. My neighbor has also done this, or his son I should say. He just kept mowing until he did part of our front lawn and then his Dad stopped him and told us he would have the son finish it later, never did, so then we had to do it... lol
My Neighbor Is A Smoker. The Hallway By My Door Always Smells Like Cigarettes
My apartments swore that our townhouses weren't connected. But every time our AC or heat kicked on, all I would smell was cigarettes. My neighbor who smokes, I know he smokes because I have SEEN HIM SMOKE, lied to my face and my husband's face. I know it was him. But it was so strong my throat would burn. We bought our first house and moved at the beginning of the pandemic. My sanity could NOT LAST in that place anymore.
The Way My Neighbor Won’t Take Care Of His Banana Trees
Maybe neighbor doesn't know about it. I mean, have you invited him over to your side of fence to show damage? It really appears thick. Yes, trimming can be done. Is neighbor handicapped? Limited on what they can do? I don't know, maybe be a good neighbor and check on them if they're elderly? Maybe offer to cut the trees for a fee? They're not hard to cut.

Our Neighbor Doesn't Like It If Anyone Parks On The Street In Front Of Their House
Personally I wouldn't care where someone parked on the street, it's public space, but they do have a point. If the nanny is coming every day, why is she not parking in front of the employers house, or in their drive? Seems odd unless they have asked her not too. Plus I'm guessing the paper note came after the text message, since they didn't know it was the nanny before then and mentions them being her employers, so she was continuing to do it after they supposedly asked her to park in their driveway

The Neighbor Has Tons Of Mannequin Heads All Over Her Lawn And Changes Them Every Week
Doesn't seem like an a*****e thing though. If people are allowed to put quirky gnomes and sculptures on their yard and paint their fences rainbow, how is this different?

Yeah its weird, but not hurting anyone or even really disturbing people.

The Definition Of A Karen
My Dad died when I was 10, my Mom was left to raise three daughters (10, 12, 14). My neighbor called the cops on us. LUCKILY my aunt lives behind me and that satisfied the cops to know if I needed help I could go there, but by 12 I was also fully self sufficient as far as taking care of myself. I would talk to the parent and ask, or let the kid know they can come to you if they need to - but, assuming and jumping to conclusions then calling the cops is wrong imo.

My Neighbor Cut Down His Tree Two Days After I Took A Picture Of Its Beautiful Fall Foliage
So, after reading through this article two things came to my mind: 1. The US truly is a more selfish society than I am used to here in Europe. 2. The US sometimes looks like a third-world country, where modern society still hasn't caught up yet completely.
I have been fortunate to have never seen people that live like this, even the poorest people I know, and most people I know are not selfish individuals. The US sucks sometimes, yes, we know and people on here from other countries make sure to remind us every chance they get. But I'd like to say the US is also filled with kind, hospitable, and friendly people who go out of their way to help their neighbor. Please know the entirety of the US is not reflected in this post. Thank you for your time. -an unselfish US citizen

Just wow! Where do these people live?! The neighbor to the left of our house sometimes cuts our grass when he cuts his own. He also often shovels out our driveway in winter. When we lost power for two days after a bad storm, all my neighbors came together to share food and to help one another. Our other immediate neighbor is an elderly woman living alone. Everyone in the neighborhood looks out for her and takes turns helping to keep up her property. I just can't figure out how or why people act the way the folks in this article behave, it's just so insane.
Many of these posts involve mental illness, I suspect. I live in the US, and our neighborhood is very much like yours. Middle class, working class, and everyone helps each other and looks out for each other. These examples are NOT the norm.

Wow. Nobody mentioned snakes. We had a divorced lady next door who had a jr high kid she couldn't control. He had a live snake collection. She made him go live with his dad when she had enough. He turned the snakes loose in our neighborhood before he left. We were finding them everywhere . There was one I think was a Pecos rat snake that took up residence under their tool shed. It was longer than my 10 ft patio. She sold the house to a Muslim couple with small children. I went over and told them about the snake. Many more we would find around. All exotic to our area. One fell on me when I opened my garage door. Before he left I kept catching him running out of my side fence when I would come home. After he left we found a box of condoms and some soft toys and red bras over there. Gad.

Load More Replies... This isn't as bad but: There's a German shepherd that lives on my street. Every time a person walks by, or even a car, she comes right up to her gate and barks as loudly as possible. She'll run back and forth and back and forth in her yard(I don't know the gender, i'd like to think she's a girl). Normally this would be a dog that just doesn't get out much. I'm not saying she's being abused, just not taken care of properly. She's super skinny and she's always outside. She always scares me when I walk my dog at night, she'll just pop up as loud as possible. If I stay long enough she'll start foaming at the mouth. I think people forget just how much work certain breeds are, and it pisses me off. German shepherds make AMAZING dogs-once trained. I've met the owner once. I was walking my dog when when he came out to water his flowers. That's the only time i've seen her stop running, but she was still barking. I said his dog is pretty and he smiled and said thank you, that was it.
That's so sad. First, I'm sorry that you can't walk your dog at night without being scared near this house. Second, the poor dog. Can you call animal control?

I stopped reading about 1/2 thru. I can't believe how many idiots & mean people there are in the world.
We just had new neighbors move in next to my parents house. Well, first the house was purchased right before Covid. The owner set it up for Airbnb. The neighbor on the other side turned the house in and so we have new renters. They have 3 or 4 dogs set up in outside kennels. They don't rinse out the kennels and they left the dogs out in over 100F heat. The dogs did have some kind of mister but I felt bad for the dogs. Just a week ago, the neighbors put some type of covering on the kennels weighed down with wood. It looks even more trashy. The stench when you walk up to my parents' front door is awful.
Yet again I come to the end of an article and praise that I live in the UK and not the US!
I would never recommend coming here to anyone from another country. After living on streets for a month and how I got there. How the government and people treat a human being. Why in the world would you come here. I am 52 years old and never in my lifetime seen anything good come from the people. Dog eats dog mentality rules most folks.

I stopped reading about 1/2 thru. I can't believe how many idiots & mean people there are in the world.
We just had new neighbors move in next to my parents house. Well, first the house was purchased right before Covid. The owner set it up for Airbnb. The neighbor on the other side turned the house in and so we have new renters. They have 3 or 4 dogs set up in outside kennels. They don't rinse out the kennels and they left the dogs out in over 100F heat. The dogs did have some kind of mister but I felt bad for the dogs. Just a week ago, the neighbors put some type of covering on the kennels weighed down with wood. It looks even more trashy. The stench when you walk up to my parents' front door is awful.
Yet again I come to the end of an article and praise that I live in the UK and not the US!
I would never recommend coming here to anyone from another country. After living on streets for a month and how I got there. How the government and people treat a human being. Why in the world would you come here. I am 52 years old and never in my lifetime seen anything good come from the people. Dog eats dog mentality rules most folks.
