I live between two single pensioners.....their bins are never more than a quarter full....very handy when we have too much.

My dads neighbour keeps taking the piss by filling his bin full, then he starts using my dads bin without asking so my dad has no where to put his rubbish.
My own neighbours have an issue with anyone parking outside their house, and even managed to get a covenant put onto their other neighbour's property that he can't park on the bottom third of his drive (it's L shaped and curves round the front of theirs). Our builders supposedly caused some damage to their flat roof so to keep the peace I paid for roofers to come repair it. They came and complained that the roofers had parked out the front of their house, and made me get them to move. Despite this, their daughter is one of the nicest sweetest young ladies I've ever met.
My next door neighbour has always been odd but the last couple of years have been a different level.
I live in a cul-de-sac and his house is attached to mine. I live in the corner, he has a monoblocked driveway (fits two cars easily) and I have a garage and driveway attached to another house although my mum uses this (still live at home).
1. Takes my cat into his house when I'm clearly in my house, god knows what happens inside. Leaves bowls of food outside for her. The greedy sh*t of a cat already gets fed countless times a day never mind getting scraps too.
2. Moves his car out of his monoblocked drive so it's now empty and parks where I've parked for years. I'm not a parking nazi by any means but it's just odd.
3. Hits my car on a regular basis.
4. Claims my car is longer if I park it in reverse rather than drive straight in.
5. Jumps out his house and takes any parcels from the postman/courier even if I'm in and then I have to go to his door and ask for them.
6. Once told me he was having a large party and I'd have to move my car to another street, when I told him no, the "party" never happened.

The young girl that moved into the flat below me a while back is proper weird. She's got some sort of double personality where one minute she's perfectly normal and you can hold a conversation with her and then other times if you see her outside or walk past her and say hello or try to start a conversation she completely blanks you like you're not there. She won't even look at you and storms straight past with her head down. Then the next day when I see her leaving for work as I get home from work she'll make the first move and say hi and ask how I am. Never known anything like it! She has no hearing issues as she can hold a normal quiet conversation just fine and she wasn't wearing earphones on the times she ignored me either.
She's also the noisiest person I've ever known just from doing normal stuff. 5.20 am every weekday I can guarantee to hear her slam the drawer in her chest, and then stomp across the floor to the bathroom and clatter and bang about in there for a while, then into the kitchen and bang plates and slam cupboard doors etc etc. Repeat the process from 6.10 pm until around 11 pm, bang, slam, clatter, bang. It goes on and on and on. How can a person make so much noise just doing normal stuff? She's a tiny build and I can hear her stomping across the floor (which is carpeted as I've seen it) quite clearly and I'm in the flat above! It does my f
king head in! I've come close on many occasions to go round and ask her WTF she's doing and to stfu. The 4 previous occupants that had lived there in the time I've been here were all quiet as a mouse and I never heard a thing from them! Luckily I only rent this gaff for work so can move elsewhere if it gets too bad but I wouldn't be pleased if this my home and I owned the place.

We've had years of them running their wheelie bins over our front garden despite it actually been easier (unsurprisingly) for them to wheel it in a straight line up their own drive.
For many years they have always miraculously appeared in the back garden or popping out to the bins with like a crisp wrapper if they hear either of us. It's earily fast as well like they are constantly waiting. The lady of the house is comically nosey as well we have caught her many a time round the side of the house earwigging conversations. They leave rubbish at the side of the house and walk past it for weeks with handfuls of other rubbish they take to the bins.
We had a good bust up a year or so back and after that they rigged up a Web cam pointing at our drive and recorded me on mobile phones every time I came in or out.
Very odd people they seem to be into everyone's business on the street and I guess that keeps them going. They don't seem to do much with themselves. Chap is alcoholic not sure about her.

Is it pointed directly at your drive with the intent to record you? Surely thats grounds for court action?For many years they have always miraculously appeared in the back garden or popping out to the bins with like a crisp wrapper if they hear either of us.

our elderly neighbour with whom we share access to the rear of the properties has decided she is too old to drive and has sold her car. She has been nice enough to offer another neighbour from down the street the opportunity to park on her drive. Seemingly no issue there. However the other neighbour, who we don't know, almost never uses her car so it's there all the time. My elderly neighbour always used to park in her garage at the back of her house. The new arrival is always parked very far over to our side, and as there is basically no separation between the drives, it actually makes it very difficult now for Mrs 2CV (esp as she is 9 months pregnant) to get in and out of her car. Not really that hilarious or weird a story, but more a thing that just mildly pisses us off every day.

It is an inconvenience but you could argue it isn't an unreasonable situation and they technically aren't doing anything wrong. The other car isn't on our property, but we do more or less share the use of the driveway. Bit of a grey area with the old lady... no pun intended.
You're right, but they may not even realise that they are inconveniencing you. Sometimes just a quick, polite word can save a long period of frustration.Inkyfingers said:

Sometimes just a quick, polite word can save a long period of frustration.Early last year some new neighbours moved into a rented property across the road, couple in their early 20s I'd say. Seemed nice enough but noticed a lot of odd behaviour such as random women and men coming and going at all hours. They also never ever opened the curtains, only when parents visited and as soon as parents left the curtains would be shut again. Anyway, towards the end of the year, they'd clearly split up and been having affairs, hence the random others "coming" and going. New neighbours moved in over Christmas, family this time and nice to speak to, however they to have never ever opened the curtains. This house has nice big windows as well but the curtains are always firmly shut, very odd.

I imagine there's a peeping Tom over the road, and they're just trying to maintain their privacy.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
