Living next to the wrong neighbor can quickly turn daily life into a headache.
The following story involves a woman who has a neighbor constantly causing chaos and disrespect right next to her home.
She noticed how they throw loud parties and fill their gardens with trash.
Even the neighbor’s kids show rude behavior and do vandalism.
The issues kept piling up… but the funny thing is, she doesn’t plan on doing anything about it.
Read the full story below for all the details.
I really dislike my neighbour! I’m a chilled out person but she’s seriously pushing it.
Here are a few key points:
I have heard her badmouthing us over her fence a fair few times.
I finally asked her if we have a problem here. I said if we do, can we please talk it out.
She looked like she shat herself and said, “No.” She then continued her behavior anyway.
She will not look me in the eye and not even acknowledge my existence. Ever.
This woman noticed how her neighbor’s property is full of rubbish.
She encourages her teenage son to ride his motorbike down the private footpath between our houses. He does this at all hours.
Her front garden is a forest of weeds. They come up past your waist.
They also spread across half the public path. Her back garden is like a stinky dumping zone.
It is full of old bikes, household rubbish, and mattresses, and a home to hundreds of mice and rats.
Our cats bring them in.
They regularly held loud parties.
She brags about her children being taken away by social services for a month because her house is so disgusting and dirty.
She allows her children to go without winter coats and new shoes despite being on adequate benefits.
She has regular parties with ridiculously loud music and shouting.
She brags about her children starting to drink early. She said she got her son drunk at 15.
She didn’t plan on doing anything.
She has a new “boyfriend” in there every month.
Her kids write large abusive things in chalk on the side wall of our house.
I am not going to do anything. But damn, I would love to. 🤣😩👊.
Wow, that’s a lot to deal with from one neighbor, and it’s understandable why it felt overwhelming for OP.
