Since moving into my end terrace 2 and a half years ago, I've had to put up with the neighbour's son's FIFA-related shouting, squealing, and swearing through my wall on a daily basis for around 8 to 10 hours straight (no exaggeration) and I've had enough. With his bedroom directly next to my home office, it's not only affecting my work, but also my mental health, as I've recently noticed how 'on edge' I feel all the time. This isn't to mention his parents making no effort to keep their own voices down, as they shout to each other upstairs to downstairs at all hours, and the dad is partial to singing football songs at the top of his voice. I've broached the subject of their son's noise with the mother, only for her to dismiss it as something beyond her control because he "plays with headphones on". I even suggesting his noise must be worse in their house, to which she agreed, but offered no further resolution. Since raising these complaints, they've fallen out with me, which I think says everything about their childish mindset as a family. I think I'm going to have to build a case against them, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good microphone that's relatively inexpensive, so I can record this excessive noise coming through my wall as evidence. How did this work out. I need closure! Nothing's changed unfortunately. After a month or so, I gave up on keeping a noise diary last summer, because I started to wonder what the point is, given the noise is pretty much all the time, every fucking day. I continued the noise diary about a month ago because I figured if I ever need to officially report them I'll need some sort of evidence. Yesterday, right on cue, the dad arrived home early afternoon, slammed the gate, slammed their back door shut (whyyyyy??) and proceeded to start making stupid whooping noises and singing football chants, so I snapped, cranked my Sonos system to maximum volume, and broadsided their house for 10 minutes. Shockingly, he seemed to get the message, and I didn't hear a peep since. |

He's furiously writing down a noise diary now of the inconsiderate bastard next door with the huge sound system.

Shockingly, he seemed to get the message, and I didn't hear a peep since. We have a very similar situation. We're mid terrace, and one neighbour could basically be your neighbour. We've spent months politely asking them to keep it down in the evenings but it gets better for a day or so, then back to normal. I snapped a few weeks ago and yelled through the wall when two people started whooping and yelling in the bedroom next to ours at 2300. Annoyingly, this is when I lost the moral high ground, because the woman's young daughter from a different relationship was staying over and it was those two that were whooping. Apparently she doesn't appreciate having her 7 year old told to shut the fuck up. Who knew? We've now spent about 2 grand converting the bedrooms in our house so that we can use the one furthest away from the rooms where they are noisiest, which to be honest is helping a lot. Still pisses me off that they can carry on like this with no consideration for their neighbours, but it seems like bellends will always be bellends. |

Tie a red balloon to their car everytime it's raining. Do this for years.
One day, put the balloon on when it's dry out.
They'll come out, dressed for wet weather and be all confused.
Hilarious.

Or else rub garlic butter on their front door handle/knocker whenever they're out.
The old smelly garlic hands trick.
Does it every time

Cunt neighbours have been up doing DIY for the last 40 mins. Sounds like he's sanding his walls or something so no way to sleep through it.
Woke us all up the cunt.

Last year my lovely neighbours started doing DIY in the bedroom at 8am on a Sunday, hammering nails into the shared wall, where my bed's headboard is. Obviously I was woken up immediately.
I matched round, told her to stop doing DIY this early on a Sunday, to which she genuinely acted surprised, as if the time and day hadn't even occured to her. Then she quickly came up with the excuse "actually, I didn't think you were in". Sigh.

I sold my house about 2 years ago because the neighbours were atrocious. Two halves of a family on either side (mum and dad one side, daughter and baby on the other in a terraced house), proper chavs. I was just lucky that they they were out when the lady that bought it came round to view. I did feel bad but recently learnt that she lasted 3 months before putting the house back on the market and she made £12k. That went a long way to proving my doubting family just how bad living there was.

My neighbour, who lives on his own in the flat below me, and is out all day, has has bought a non stop yappy dog. Not the dogs fault, but I have pondered on it and have come to the conclusion that's a cuntish thing to do on a number of levels.

This is a long one so I'll try to condense as much as possible.
4 houses in a row. 1 2 3 4. 1 is end house then it's just fields.
1 is my friends elderly parents
2 me
3 married couple with one kid. Owns 2 cars.
4 the parents of house 3
Between 1 and 2 is an access drive to the back of the four houses and 4 parks his car round back so the access drive needs keeping clear meaning 3 has to occasionally park on the road past house 1.
Parking has always been an issue and 1 doesn't like 3 in front of their house as they are in and out of hospital a lot so want it kept clear for ambulances etc.
I get on well with both 1 and 4, 4 in fact used to be my teacher at senior school in the 90s in a small world scenario. As 1 are an elderly couple and one is permanently in a hospital bed in living room with end of life scenario I put their bins out for them and occasionally come help with TV issues etc. 3 is just standard neighbour I say hi to but that's about it, not friendly and not problematic either, just your standard neighbour that we keep ourselves to.
3's car years ago was parked past 1 out of sight and had paint stripper thrown on it overnight. Insurance wrote it off and he ended up getting a BMW.
Fast forward to new years day this year.
The same type of paint stripper was thrown on his BMW again.
They strongly believe my friend, the daughter of house 1, or her family was the one to do it. They were talking to me round the back of the house about it once and openly accused her and said that I probably knew about it. I don't. I also don't think my friend did it and have asked her twice.
The same day my friend came over with her daughter's laptop for me to look at and try and fix. 3 saw her come over.
The conversation above between me and 3 was overheard by 1 but coincidentally that same day she fell ill again and ended up in hospital for a few days.
When she came out of hospital, she saw 4 driving out of the access drive and rushed outside to have a go at them for accusing 1 of damaging 3's car and they had a full blown sweary argument with threats of violence.
On 4's return home later that day they knocked on my door to have a go at me and asking when have we ever talked about accusing 1 of doing the damage. I had to say hang on we never talked about it but 1 having a go is nothing to do with me and I told him 3 was the one accusing them when we were talking.
3 and 4 now think I told my friend they were both accusing her and her parents and have given me stink eye ever since. I've tried being my usual cheerful self saying hello when they're out and all I get is a muffled "hi" without any eye contact. 3 has also started parking over the access drive blocking me in half the time and only moves when 4 needs to go out. By blocking in I mean they bookend me with their two cars and sometimes park very close making it difficult to get out and nigh on impossible to get back in unless you were a very very good at parallel parking in tight spots which frankly I'm not!
Apologies for the length but it's a long story.
Lived here 12 years and always got on well with 3/4 but now they think I'm shit on their shoe and I feel uncomfortable sitting outside if they all are as well. And I've done nothing wrong either.

Best get the paint stripper out again.
That really sucks. Any way to remedy it via a really frank conversation or something?

Shit when you’ve not done anything wrong.
Assuming it wasn’t you with the paint stripper?
Anyway - how about a letter to all 3 families with a clear telling of the situation?
Let them all know how they have affected you

I have thought of confronting them to see why they have an issue with me and smooth things over but I also think why should I.
Being honest, when talking to 3 round back they gave evidence why they think 1 did the damage and it is quite convincing. My friend is kind of a chav with a heart. She'll do anything for anyone but you wouldn't want to cross her. She's not stupid though, I'd like to think she's not as daft as to shit where she eats so to speak. After the first paint stripper attack I added one of them IP Cameras in my bedroom window pointing down at my car. 3 asked for the footage after the new year attack and went to police with it. It shows my friend arriving at her parents at 2am new years Day because her dad was on his own with her mum in hospital again so she didn't want him to be alone. You only see the lights of her car arrive, 3's car is not in the picture.
Me and my friend are pretty close with what we tell each other and so when I've asked her off the record including saying that police want footage from my camera so before I give it I gave her chance to tell me so I can be awkward with handing it over. She still insists no and repeats what I said earlier that she wouldn't be so stupid as to do that when her elderly parents are only 2 doors away and live alone.

Shit when you’ve not done anything wrong. Assuming it wasn’t you with the paint stripper? As much as 3 annoys me sometimes with their selfish parking or other minor things, I would never do anything illegal out of retaliation. Like Vincent in pulp fiction said, you don't mess with another man's vehicle. Some of the evidence 3 gave is the paint stripper used was an old discontinued type that's years old. The man in 1 used to be a mechanic and has a garage full of old stuff from them days. The son of 1 was visiting and whilst 3 was at their car after the event they asked him if he saw anything and told him about the paint stripper and he allegedly acted funny and was questioning saying it didn't look like paint stripper and was acting like it was just dirt on their car. I say allegedly because that seems far fetched that he would be like that. |
