The most annoying thing your neighbours do
Discussion
My neighbours cough when I barbecue.
We have maybe four barbecues a year and if I ask them if it really bothers them that much, they say something like, "Oh, don't be silly, you've got to have a barbcue, it's the summer." Next time; cough, cough, cough. They can keep it up for hours.
There are worse things I suppose.

To the left. No idea. New people moving in so it's currently vacant. Sold for over half a mill so they dhouldn't be too chavvy
to the right, use it every third weekend as a holiday house. Couple in their 50s. Never hear a peep out of them.
Across the road - as per to the right.
Noisest neighbour is a possum at night and a kookaburra during the day.
Actually, I'm probably the worse one in the street. And that's only working on my cars during the day on weekends and having a car with a nice exhaust.
Mmmmm, middle class areas.

LOL, what I would do If they started there 'coughing', make a little fire somewere in your garden, then chuck a load of green leaves and really smoke making stuff, really make them gammon slippers cough then.We have maybe four barbecues a year and if I ask them if it really bothers them that much, they say something like, "Oh, don't be silly, you've got to have a barbcue, it's the summer."

I live next door to a woman who quit her job about 2 years ago to try and make it as a singer. She writes her own songs which are utterly terrible and can't sing for the life of her. It would be hilarious if she wasn't so loud and insist on continuing until past 11 at night some nights.
Oh and she also has raging arguments with her husband every so often. I'm talking stuff hitting the wall and everything. And this is in the supposedly nice leafy area of Guildford....

The most annoying thing one of my neighbours does is breathe.
It used to be a nice block until ting tong moved in. The word talk has been removed from her vocabulary and replaced with shout. All in a piercing shreik as well. Added to that, she is the most ingnorant
I have ever met, and fking ugly with it.
I am embarrassed to have friends in the garden when I know she is going to be around.
How the fk I haven't shot her escapes me

Oh, he's a contractor of some sort and regularly has people in transit vans round. I'm fed up asking them to move their vans back a foot so I can get my car in my drive. I might torch one someday, it might get through then.

not really annoying, just strange, My neighbours living room is on the second floor, the kids will be out the back with mum and dad will be in the living room.
They will then proceed to have very loud conversations from the living room down to the garden (American so dont really have a quiet setting) about things that I consider private, For example I am fully aware about there medical history, his operations the problems with the kids everything.
Most strange.
oh and the bd they rent the house of has decked the entire garden, so the kids are let out and about at 7-730 every weekend, klomp klomp klomp not ideal

Two doors down (the neighbours neighbours), when my Mrs comes home from a short break come running out to her and says
'Have you heard about Mrs and Mrs So and So? They got burgled!'
So the Mrs says 'Yes, Matt told me' etc
They respond with 'I dont know why they burgled them and not us, I mean, you only have to look'
And that dear readers is quite frankly the most middle class thing I've ever come across. Disappointment because your neighbours got burgled rather than you.
I still to this day do not have a response scathing enough and believe me, I've tried.

We live on a street lined either side with terraced houses. When we moved in it used to really annoy me that people would park outside my house but over time I came to the realisation that they all pay road tax and I don't own that bit of street outside my house, so its fk all to do with me really. However next door have 4 cars, a van and a Landrover, they also have off road parking behind their house, small driveway, garage and room to park at least 3 of their vehicles yet they seem to choose right outside my door to park. We come home and they have 4 cars lined up down the street outside at least 4 houses! I dont have the option of off road parking, the road at the back stops at next doors, if I did have the option I would fking use it!!
The other one that annoys me is the women at the end of the street, she puts a little sign up in her window, "parking reserved for number 40". fk off, how dare you reserve the space on the public road outside your house. I try to park there as often as possible, even though its a walk to my own house. She's not yet come out to say something, though she does give the odd dirty look out!

She's not yet come out to say something, though she does give the odd dirty look out!I rented a flat from a local housing association until a few years ago and had a succession of annoying neighbours.
The single mum with a glass eye and a drink problem who played heavy metal full volume at all hours of the day and night. You could tell she had a glass eye because she was usually too pissed to put it in straight and it pointed in a different direction each day. Things got worse when her 15 year old nymphomaniac daughter moved in. She would scream so loudly during her marathon shagging sessions that even the mother's stereo couldn't drown her out.
The gay couple downstairs who would come home in the early hours of the morning several times a week, completely pissed, start screaming abuse at each other, and throwing the furniture around. This would go on for anywhere up to an hour. After many complaints to the housing association we learned that "the couple" was actually just one schizophrenic bloke, and the flat was used for care in the community.
He eventually moved on to be replaced by a young girl who made a habit of setting fire to her flat. She'd come in drunk late at night, put bread under the grill to toast and empty a tin of beans into a pot on the stove, then promptly fall sound asleep after taking her medication on top of all the booze. Even the sound of firemen trying to kick her door in wasn't enough to rouse her from her slumber.
The final straw was my wife being awoken one afternoon with a knocking on the door. When she opened the door a young couple in the midst of a knee-trembler tumbled in to the hallway. Apparently the next door nympho couldn't wait the few seconds it would have taken to open her front door. When my wife told them to get out, the young lad told her to be patient and he'd get to her next.

As far as parking goes - house almost opposite has a driveway for 3 vehicles. The parents each have a car, the 2 sons have a car each and one has a works van.
The sons only park their cars on the driveway - so there are always 3 vehicles on the road. We live on a 120 degree bend - you get the picture...

To the right. Nosey old bat who constantly hides behind curtains watching everything anyone in the street is doing. She hasnt realised on dark nights everyone can see a clear shadow of her peeping antics through her closed curtains.
To the left. Indian family who do authentic indian cooking from the kitchen result in plumes of white smoke bellowing out. Not the smoke that bothers me, its the smell, bloody gorgeous it is.

Because he parks like an ass...
Because of the shape of the drive I can fit 2 cars on mine, he can only fit one, previous neighbours always parked halfway up the steep slope because it allowed all doors to open fully into the gap between my 2 cars and their garden. For some reason he seems keen to wedge his car between the house and my car to make it harder for him to get in and out of it. Odd character.
