Anyone else have annoying people on their street?
House on corner of my street have partys nearly every saturday night which go on till around 2. They start off with loud singing and music then towards end of night the woman will start effing and blarring and all hell breaks loose!
Last night they decided to have a sing along at 1am, woke me up ( i get up at 7
). Close both my windows and i can still hear her voice! Obviously the kids can sleep through it.
I feel sorry for the house next door, theyve just moved in. I bet they werent told about the idiots next door!

Two doors down i have a volatile Jewish family who on a fairly regular basis absolutely yell and scream at each other, just as part of "normal" everyday life. Bloody annoying at 2 a.m. but can be quite entertaining on occasion!!

My next door neighbour has a yappy dog which gets out (catflap?) to bark at the cats at 11.30 almost every night, and a gut-busting cockerel which lets rip at 4.30am at present (even before it is light) and every 15-30 minutes thereafter. Due to the layout of the houses, both of these animals are less than 7 metres from my pillow when their vocal chords open up.
Unfortunately the neighbour is a 90 yr old lady who is absolutely the sweetest, kindest and friendliest neighbour we could wish for, so I grit my teeth and bear it.

Would you believe that my sister has a neighbour who complains about the smell of the sweet peas she has growing up her side of the boundary fence!!!
It's not as if she has lots of them - just a normal amount - maybe a bunch a foot in width...
Seems a funny thing to complain about - the smell of flowers in your garden!

I have some annoying twenty-somethings that moved into my apartment block a few months ago. They make a huge amount of noise, at the weekend it doesn't stop until 4/5am. He broke up with his girlfriend a couple of Saturdays ago, I heard her talking, screaming and crying at 4am. One of them drives a red fiesta with the drivers door all taped up so he has to enter via the passenger door. If I get my way, they won't last very long there

The dog is harder to deal with but the only experience of small dogs I've had suggests that they are all mouth so I'd find the hardest cat in the area that isn't afraid of dogs and place it outside the cat flap. Yappy comes out at 11.00 only to be mugged by said hard cat.
Job done.

He will have a go at small dogs, rabbits, etc and he especially dislikes ginger cats. Available for hire to help with domestic issues.

There are times when I've wondered about hanging around at 4.30am to give the cockerel a burst of the hosepipe gun - with our 8bar mains pressure it strips loose paint - but we've found that sleeping with the windows closed cuts out most of the piercing noise. And I can't be arsed

I think I live on estate full of Arsonists - any excuse and they're all burning refuse instead of taking it to the tip.
Didn't help matters when the bloke over the raod a fire which the wind blew into my house and onto the washing and I proceeded to call him "Stupid Fat B@stard"
There's also a few council house chavs too.
apart from that it's great

No problems here.
One side is a retired mechanic (who's son has a new evo) who knocked on the door the other day to tell me he noticed my rear wiper blade had split so he replaced it for me (while i was in bed)and bought it for trade.
The other side is a very normal quiet couple in their 40's with a 22 year old teenage daughter.

My next door neighbours are a bunch of student nurses. At even the slightest glimmer of the sun there they are sunbathing naked in the back garden.
My office (I work from home) overlooks their back garden and it makes it very difficult to work, especially when they start chasing each other around the garden with the hose pipe.
I wish

I'm really lucky - live on a terrace street and every morning the milk arrives after Ive left for work so one the neighbours over the road takes it in for me and brings it over as Im parking the car in the evening. Another neighbour over the road always de-ices my scoob on frosty winter mornings... next door neighbours either side are very friendly - never hear a peep...Never complain when our fooosball matches go on till 2am at the weekends
