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

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.
Neighbor Taped This To My Door
Mh... yeah no, there is nothing nice in this note. It's racist and incredibly nosy.
There is something nice. They left their phone number so that it can be called day and especially night, after night after night, esp. after sharing it on forums... or to be signed up on various marketing sites...

Call the police and report this moron for harassment instead. See how they like it...
Has this person never heard of adoption, albinism, or blended families? This is incredibly racist and threatening. I'd take the note to your local police and make a harassment complaint, because this sort of racist harassment could escalate so dangerously, especially if this is in the US.
It also takes a baby 2 to 3 weeks after birth for a baby’s skin to get to its natural color

I'll call the police for you and show them them this letter. You stupid twit.
No, just no. Not only is this racist and incredibly nosy, and not considering there can be reasons a parent and child don't look alike (the possibilities of adoption, blended families, albinism or foster care), but they are demanding documentation with a threat they'd call the police in the absence of proof of relationship implying they believe the baby could have been kidnapped. (Had the neighbour really truly believed it was a police matter, unless they are an absolute idiot, they'd contact the police not warn the kidnapper to give them a chance to disappear.) And for some reason they include a thanks and smiley face? Should go to the police, tell them you are getting racist messages and also concerned that the sender could be trying to obtain personal details through threats in order to use/sell information for identity fraud.
I didn't even think of kidnapping, I thought it was accusing the wife of cheating and I couldn't figure out what the neighbor thought the police would do

Wow! - with that attitude (?) I wouldn't be redacting their phone number - I'd publish it for all the world to see...and use how they see fit.
Over in my place that would be classified as hate/racist mail and the police take it extremely serious
Load More Replies... This is probably one of those, anti-abortion a**holes that advocate for adoption but when it's a person of color that's doing the adopting a white baby they automatically think it's been kidnapped!
My mom's friend is mixed, black dad and white mom. She married an Italian guy with dark hair and eyes. They had three kids, two look mixed, one is white and blond with blue eyes. One of my ex is mixed from a white dad and a Togolese mom, and so he looks mixed but with these incredible green eyes. They had their fair share of people saying rude things to them. Some people are just ignorant pieces of garbage, and it baffles me every time.
I know a few people with mixed kids like that. Some of their own parents are mixed as well. These darn kids are the most gorgeous looking humans I've ever seen.

Oh please do call the police, and the media while you're at it! What a disgusting waste of oxygen!!!
This is how serious racism is in the world, the absolute brazen audacity! It's just sickening and pathetic!
Unfortunately, in the US we're going backwards on racial equality, thanks to the orange man and his followers.

If I got that note, you can bet that the police would be called: By ME!
Please don't downvote me as I don't want to get banned, but I looked at this on reddit, people are thinking it's fake and after reviewing the evidence I agree. Look at Op's profile and her posts. She's a professional victim.
I'd let him call the police, keep the note, of course, and once the police checks everything I'll take the motherf... to court for slander, defamation or whatever I can think of.
I smell blackmail and harassment. Had this been me, I would've stormed over to the neighbor and made a loud scene so everyone on the neighborhood knows how disgusting this neighbor is; I don't think I could've kept my cool
Side note: my dad was about 10 shades darker than me (I'm pretty pasty) and we looked nothing alike except hair and I have had to say to people "yes, he's my biological dad"

Hey neighbor, couldn't help but notice you are insane. Please send documents stating otherwise..."
Are they aware of a possibility of adoption if nothing else? Not mentioning the fact they obviously had minimum information and they used it this way? oh god. What are they planning to say to the police? Officer, the neighbour next door has a white son. Well, she is black." so what?!
Ok… it’s great that someone cares that a child may be kidnapped or in danger. But it sucks that it’s being driven by racism. And they went about it the totally wrong and messed up way. Call the non-emergency police line and report when you suspect a child is in danger and walk away. No one owes you ANY documentation. Giant middle finger to that.
Have they never heard of adoption?? Multi-racial couples? Maybe the child favors one parent over the other? Here's another groovy thought, maybe the parent is a step-parent?? What in the blue hell??? People are such garbage.
Smears, accusations, racism, and threats. And then they close with "Thanks!" and a smiley face !!!
Racist a*****e needs a lesson. Post that number everywhere and I DO mean EVERYWHERE! Forums, Chats, Social Media, even sign them up for a bunch of spam s**t!!
This person has problems to be brave enough to put that on someone door! There gonna get it! By the time you get done with lawsuits and charges. They will hopefully move out. But if they don't put up lots of cameras. This person is seriously the lowest of the low and sick f**k. Some people just need a huge butt whooping.
Entitled much? Report it just in case the scheißfigur tries to escalate their behavior.
Why in the name of all that’s holy would someone ask for this and expect to get it?
Oh, I would send something alright. It wouldn’t be any “documentation”, but I’d send something. You bet.
My daughter had blond hair & blue eyes because Viking genes rule. She's half Japanese. F*ck off.
Black people come in all different colors and the child could have been of mixed race.
Never heard the word 'adoption'? Besides, what business it of yours?
What the hell does it matter that their son doesn't look like them? Is it physically harming anyone? Ever hear of adoption? Some idiots make my skin crawl with their stupidity.
OMG!That is a level of bs I have never seen in my life! Wtf does he think he is asking for "papers"!!!
This would make me stomp over there with or without the police by my side. For their protection, not mine. Does Nosy Neighbor not have the brain cells or heart to know that there are other possibilities such as adoption, albinism, surrogacy, interracial, death (friend or family) oh and mind your business you heartless toad. I don't care what this persons name. To me it's Dead. And this is only submission #4. I may not last the whole way through.
This is my nightmare scenario. Some idiot calling the cops bc i'm playing with my white nephews.
like someone else said sign them up for lots and lots of telemarketing sites! also, they can go perish in a hole
I'd say" great send them round, I will put the kettle on and show them this note while I'm at it". Honestly I do wonder how some people manage to live so long when they are so stupid!!!!!!!
Let him call. I hope the police let him know what it means to make a false report.
I would call the police an tell them this person is sticking my child an you think he she my be a pedophile
That is the most disgusting thing. They had a couple on Lauren Lake Paternity the man and woman were black and the baby was white with red hair, it was proven to be his even though he said she cheated.
Wow would I engage some professional to I don´t know... unload a ton of pigshit into their convertible or paint their house pink or something.....
Ohh hell no! First of all: Mind your damn business. Secondly, go ahead and call the police so you can be charged with harassment. SN: The smiley faced "thank you" doesn't make this piece of trash note any nicer. You still suck!
The audacity to sign it with a smiley face... That is also a neighbor asking for an unexplained house fire. So many of those around...
Not only would I take this note to the police & file a complaint, I would seriously consider a restraining order to keep them away from my front door & family. This is out of control.
Should have also left their phone # up lol. Imagine all the spam/photos/memes that person would get !
Oh my god. I'd have them call the cops & then turn around and have them charged with harassment.
I went to Reddit and tried everything I could think of to see if I could reveal the phone number to share it with you here but alas, no luck.
Wow, that is SO none of your business! Please, find a hobby and stop this insanity!
So... they're not allowed to birth a lighter child? Not allowed to foster or adopt a child that looks 'unmatched'?
Are they assuming the people kidnapped the child so they want verification? It is not their business! If they are really concerned for the child they should call the police not take matters into their own hands.
I am white, my wife is mixed race, but dark of skin. Our two daughters are slightly darker then me. When my wife goes shopping alone with the girls, she gets so much flak from inconsiderate bastards that it sometimes brings her to tears. And when I go shopping with... let's just say if I had the lowest denomination coin in the world for everytime I was asked if my wife was the nanny, I would be richer then all the 1 percenters combined. I feel for the op.
Is this real? This can’t be real? No, seriously is this actually still happening? This is horrible!
I'd take that phone number and use it for jehovah witness to call "me" back and I would use it everytime I fill out any online form so it will get robocalled.
why did you cross out the number? that would have been awesome revenge lol
What’s wrong with some people?! They don’t owe neighbours a explanation or show documentation that it is their kid! It could be a adopted kid, Stephkid etc. I do understand that kids can be kidnapped, it happens often sadly! But I’m pretty sure that is not the case here.
If the neighbor are thinking is a kidnapping case, maybe he would call the police? why he want see the proof personally?
F**k that. I'm suspecting people who do this are just phishing for personal info to steal. NEVER send anyone personal documents.
I'm not saying that this is okey, but maybe, just maybe... The person who wrote the note, maybe think that it's about a kidnapped child? I'm not sure, just wanted to add a different thought. And to be clear, I'm NOT a fan of this and absolutely think that no one has to show this fudgeball any "documentation" what so ever.
WHOAAAAA that's a whole new level of a*sshole. And they had the bawls to put Thanks and a smiley
Oh, please do call the police. Perhaps while they were fining the a*****e for filing a false report, they could explain genetics to him. Racists are not only obnoxious, they're stupid.
This is not real. It looks like a 16 year old boy wrote it. And men don't care about this stuff..a Karen would. Not a Karen letter. I bet it was a joke.
I'd be calling the police and getting this neighbour done for harassment or something, what the actual f**k?!
Oh, I'd have a field day with this piece of sh!t. I'd have something nasty planned for each week of the year.
We all bleed the same color. Stop the hating. It's not us against them, blacks against whites, gays against straights. It's humans against humans. We are all one race-- human!
I think your intention is good but color blindness dismisses hundreds of years of racism and current inequity. We do need to address race in order to move forward.

The writer of this note clearly has mental health issues. However, if they can’t function in society, the should be in care.
I would notify police ASAP and then call an attorney to sue this jerk.
This cannot be real, is it? I thought it was bad when my cop, neighbor, decided to run for Sheriff, and wouldn't return a package to another neighbor that was delivered to his house instead.
I would've posted that number in every truckstop mens room and social media site I could find if that EVER showed up on my door
Hello to you too neighbor, Couldn't help notice that you are a bigot. Interesting, I don't think that you have that bug up your hoot registered with the proper authorities and therefore have no authority whatsoever, especially over my family. I am calling my lawyer who will contact the police department for us and cut you off before you begin. I'm going out to enjoy my day with my family. I have installed cameras, by the way, so Smile! Thanks!
What the everlovin' heck? You think people like this can't possibly exist in this day and age - but. Damn.
People should get to know their neighbors. Helps with neighborhood safety.
Where do some people get off with this kind of thing? I just don't get where, in their brains, anyone owes them anything. Or is required to provide anything as if they are police. It's so ridiculous.
Give "them" documentation? F that. Call the police you creep. I would deal with them before you. Plus this person is either brave or stupid for putting a note like this one someones house. I would be beyond p1ss3d off.
Just to present the other side, in the spirit of that I think of every other side all the time just for my educational amusement -- I am guessing maybe.. MAYBE...this person is on some sort of welfare program. If you have applied for government subsidized housing, food, money, money people get per child for support, housing support, etc...then they are not permitted to have extras living with them. This is a big source of scams that cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year. (mostly) women say they are unmarried, have 2-3-6 kids and no job or income and get money. So, you can't then have your baby daddy or boyfriend living with you and say it's your "son" because you're getting money for that "son". I know this in much more detail because several neighbors did this and bragged how they were getting "free money" for these tangled scams. One was getting over $80,000 in benefits for lying and arranging things to be dishonest. It hurts those who do need the benefits.
Unless they have told their neighbor they are on welfare, the neighbor does not know their financial situation. Your neighbors may have bragged to you, but I have serious suspicions that they were messing with you. Benefits like housing payments only pay up to a certain amount for rent, and the tenant makes up for the rest. Certain things are not covered. You are right that they can't have extras, but if they have a stepchild or adopted before experiencing the financial hardship, it's not like they're going to force them to give up those kids! Try not to be the devils advocate--justifying racism and classism is never educational.

This is neither nice, nor "child's best interest". This is racist, offensive, nosy, making assumptions and projecting inner fantasies on someone else. And also illegal: you don't request someone to send you "documentation" on their family.

“We're more independent and less inter-dependent than we used to be.

“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.”

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.”

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.
Yikes! Snakes, why did it have to be snakes! ( Had to throw in some Indiana Jones in there but it sound more like a Samuel Jackson situation!)

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
Yikes! Snakes, why did it have to be snakes! ( Had to throw in some Indiana Jones in there but it sound more like a Samuel Jackson situation!)

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?

Homeless in in America and I can attest that most Americans are just evil. However, like in most of the world there are a very small group of kind hearted American. Just good luck finding one. Most of these have been taken advantage of and joined the majority.
I am sorry you are homeless, and that most Americans you've encountered are evil. I am an American, and while I've met some shitty people, on the whole most are friendly and kind. I gave the last of my money to a homeless vet, he needed it more than me.(I'm currently unemployed.)

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.
