Feuds with neighbours

[sadgit]

We used to live in Linthorpe and both sides were to let places after years of no problems but the older people died so went to let. I cannot describe the craziness we had to live through with the Spanish, then Jamaicans. It was like being in a crazy dream. I've said this before about it, contact your councillor

The woman presumably thinks we were out of order getting angry and raising our voices (even though he was giving as good as he got)

Could it be that they just did their garden up and they might not have been away of the unsightly gap at the bottom of the fence?

Maybe something that could have been resolved with a few pocketfuls of soil.

Then went and got a deck chair and sat on the end of my drive.

This was the best bit

I could hear his girlfriend talking to him through the open window saying look at the size of him

or maybe that bit

what if he batters your dad

It’s a tough call..

has to be the deckchair! lol

 

[pierrequiroule]

Neighbours eh, best avoided if at all possible.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Just make sure that you are always the problem neighbour in any house you live in.

Problem solved.

Moved into my first house with the Mrs into a 2 bed semi starter home.
The day we moved in I saw the fella from next door coming down the drive. I said to the Mrs here's the neighbour coming to introduce himself. Answered the door with a smile on my face and he launched into a tirade about how he was fed up with all tje noise and late parties. I explained that we had moved in that day and apart from getting a bed delivered no one had been in the house for the 7 days since the ex owner moved out. He wasn't having it and said he had seen me going in with other people (which was untrue). He wouldn't calm down so I just told him to f##k off and closed the door. We never spoke to each other again (7 yrs)even though his wife was very friendly and our children played together My friend lived next door but one and had been keeping an eye on the place and said there was no noise or lights on when it was empty.
Made no difference to my life we just got on with things and ignored him which would be my advice.

Oh and if anyone sees me arguing with Priv please message me and tell me to stop.

was thinking the same thing, life is too short. Buy a barge board or put some pots there

Nah - its the principle of the matter. He decided to do his garden up to make it look lovely and in doing so compromises ours.

even Martin McGuinness and Ian Paisley ended up as friends.

I feel your pain. I had a very heated clash one evening with the neighbour years ago over cars blocking drives etc, long story. The next day I was going to my car and he was going to his. We looked at each other and crossed the road and shook hands and apologised. That's how these things should be settled but it isn't always as easy as that.

It sounds like you are doing your best to be adult and respectful about it all so try not to be too hard on yourself. Maybe time will heal things. The ball is in their court now ( or garden in this case!! ) Don't appease them though because they don't deserve this and you will end up feeling s..t about yourself. You have to retain your dignity and self respect. Take things one day at a time.

PS to put things into context at least it won't get as bad as the Kinahan/Hutch feud in Dublin. 19 dead to date. Now that is a feud! Good luck!

Kinahan/Hutch fued - what a stupid fcukin comment.

 

[On The Bob]

I posted something about my neighbours a while back. No dispute as such but they’re a weird bunch.

Since we moved in 5 years ago. They’ve progressively said less to us when we cross paths. The last few times we’ve seen them in the local we’ve smiled and waved etc. and they basically just look through us and turn away.

Not sure what we’ve done to upset them. Me and the missus tend to be pretty quiet. We’ve had the occasional gathering on weekends (I’m talking once a year on average) but they’re never late wild nights or anything. We tend to prefer going out than doing a load of house drinking - less so now we’ve got a 1 year old!

Our neighbours on the other side are great and whilst they’re both retired and a lot older than us, we get on really well and always doing each other favours etc. They treat our daughter like she’s their grand child.

With the other ones, we’ve come to accept that they obviously have some issues. They never have friends and other family round their house either. You would think they’re pretty insular but she struts round the local pub like she owns the place. They’re just up their own arses. It’s no great loss to us. We’ll continue to be civil if and when required but we just tend to ignore them now.

Well at least fix up your garden.. no point being pushed off with your neighbours and still having your garden look crap!

The best revenge is always success!

My next door neighbour is a weapons grade bellend. He tells his friends they can park across my drive as I won't mind, but has never asked me. Infuriates me and when I have to go out, I have to go knock on his door and ask him to get his friends to move the car, he gets annoyed like I'm inconveniencing him.

I've taken to throwing cat **** in his hot tub, pr*ck !!

Jesus Christ falling out about a raised fence…. First world problems

I live in a community street, Meaning lots of families with young children playing out in the road. We don’t know everyone but always say hello, it’s a friendly street.

The house next to me has just been rented out, the ex neighbours were great.
Some scummy drug dealer has moved in, cars screeching away early houses of the morning and parties until the early hours.
Must have 20 cars a day turn up at his house for 5 minutes.
He was in my garden with a torch at midnight the other night, said he was looking for his cat gurning his chops off.
Thing is they havnt committed a crime yet so nothing much I can do.
I dont really want to confront him as I work away and don’t want to leave the mrs with any animosity.
It’s seriously p**sing me off

What else can I do?

There is a huge process of reporting to council and police and them documenting evidence, but this takes ages and what it then does is makes your street look like a crime hotspot on crime maps, and when they eventually get an eviction notice, they just go to another absentee landlord and make that street's lives hell until the process repeats.

We had the same group of prostitutes in 5 different houses within a very short distance. Shifts it along without solving it.

I’d stir the pot a little, next time you see him ask him if he’s noticed all the plain clothes police waking up and down the street and that they must be watching one of the houses, ask him who he thinks they might be looking into.

funny thing is the neighbour opposite is a plain clothes copper and my other neighbour is a copper also.

I’m just waiting for something to happen!

You’re not in Southampton are you

(Apologies for the link to the Daily Mail but it does seem apt)

Father who built 6ft fence to protect kids could have to tear it down

Supportive neighbours of dad Jamie Risk say he has a baby on the way and they think the newborn would be 'woken up continuously from car lights' if the fence was not there.
