I’m on a corner lot in a rural subdivision just outside Bogalusa. There’s only a small house on one side, the rest is vacant land. Unfortunately this one house is a rental. In 13 years we’ve had 2 that were bad. Usually unruly kids with parents that were enablers. The worst was their dog would come in my yard and growl at me. I asked them to get the dog under me control, which they did. They tied him up in the back yard and he died of freezing or starving, possible both. Just pieces of shite

Grew up next to married drunks. Everyday was an adventure.
Sad part was they were incredibly kind people. Just couldn’t stay sober and would turn into different people when drunk. Ended up losing their kids over it and still kept going.

Not me but my grandparents back in the day. They had some no account neighbors. The mother got sick and my grandmother did her Christian duty and went to help them. She came back with a case of head lice.

Not really horror story just there being two houses near mine that continues not to be repaired from 2020 hurricanes.
One looks okay but nobody lives there. The other is occupied with the a Storage of Doom container parked in the driveway.
This is the story of buying houses you can't afford, not affording the right amount of insurance and just neglecting maintenance because you can't afford to do it.
One is an eye sore. The other is just plain and empty.

I've definitely had some sleepless nights over it. He really did love that dog, though, and he was good with dogs. I was hoping he'd figure things out.

We lived in the country and there was a trailer down the road some black lady and her kids. I was a kid and some of my baseball stuff I left on the porch came up missing. My dad went down there to the trailer knowing who did it. Got my stuff back. A week later that trailer mysteriously caught fire and burned down when the woman and her kids were out of town
He will never say but im positive my dad went down there that night and torched it

I had one go completely nuts after wife left him and basically woke up about 4 o’clock each day, did a bunch of drugs then have a bunch of whores come over etc for about 6 months. He had a bed in his room, a couch and couple of folding chairs in living room and that was it in a 6000 foot house. He basically turned it into a crack whore house with 15 year old girls etc . eventually he burned through his money and one day when I was out of town his drug dealers came to my house by mistake demanding their money. I had to hire off duty cops for about 4 months until the foreclosure forced him out

Not sure if this fits but I got a random roommate in grad school that was the most selfish a-hole I’ve ever encountered in my life. Guy’s mom worked at the apartment complex and he was getting section 8 and after he was fired from his job at the section 8 housing office, he spent his entire days on the couch watching MSNBC. Guy was dressing up as a drag queen and would leave women’s clothing around the apartment. Final straw was when he got a turtle that smelt like absolute shite. I moved into a 1 bedroom and never had a roommate again in my life.

My first apartment in Japan, older building with zero sound insulation. Neighbors were a family with 2-3 young kids that screamed bloody murder every night from the moment they got home around 5 until 10-11pm.
I only lived there for about 6 months before I decided to find a better place

Guys a few doors down would build and set off fireworks in a residential neighborhood waking everyone up including my newborn. I asked them to stop, they laughed it off. I warned them that I could make noise too. Talked to all of the neighbors who were also ticked off about their late night loud shenanigans and received their blessing to fight back.
After getting a handle on their work schedules I stood in front of their house at 4am revving a chainsaw. Did this for a few days, they were not happy and threatened to report me. I encouraged them to call the cops and also pulled up about 45 minutes of time and date stamped video footage from myself and others of them burning tires, setting off homemade bombs, firing guns, etc. in their backyard.
They were quiet after that.

Came home one day, and found a trench dug across the back of my yard. Neighbor said he needed to run power to his shop and the power company was going to run the line (he dug it with a backhoe, not the power company).
I told him he needed to ask my permission, and get an easement. His response of course was he didn’t have to and pretty much frick off. Little did he know, the power company engineer is a friend of mine, who told me when they were supposed to meet him there. So of course I was going.
Surprise! Engineer asked him if the trench he dug was on his property. His answer of course was yes. I’m standing there and said no. Walked over to where the survey corner was and pointed out he had no access to the right of way and exactly where the line was. And of course I had the survey from when I built the house to back it up.
Engineer, “sir you’ll need his permission and an easement to run the line”
“He’s fine with it”
“Actually no I’m not fine with it. One you dug it in the wrong place and two you didn’t ask before you did it, so fill it back up and repair the damage to my yard and then you can ask”
He filled it back up and repaired it. Since the other neighbor would pour gas on him if he was on fire, he had to ask. So I gave the power company the easement 5’ from my corner in a spot the slope makes it unusable, then he had to run it the rest of the way on his property. After he paid the power company twice to come out.

Had a guy next to me once who’s wife divorced him. Was a pretty strait laced guy, but he got laid off from Dell then went through a mid life crisis. This was around 2008 as well so the economy wasn’t great.
Refused to get a job and be part of the ‘rat race’ again. After his wife moved out, he started hanging out at Hooters and thought some waitress liked him but never saw him being anyone home. His house ended up getting foreclosed on, but he’d still sleep in his truck in the driveway obviously drunk with the radio blasting.
Wife eventually came back with some guy to move her stuff out, and he showed up trying to fight the guy. There was a lot of yelling and screaming then the cops showed up and arrested him. Never saw him or her again. She was actually a nice lady from what I could tell.
This was also one of the nicer neighborhoods I lived in so I guess trash knows no bounds.

Lived next door to an old lady for two years and it was nice and quiet. Then her son in law lost his job and the his family moved in. When they moved in they brought their above ground pool and annoying mutt. The pool sat higher than my 6 foot fence and it looked like they were floating above my back yard. They also had an incredibly obnoxious dog that would bark and growl any time we were in the back yard and would break the fence boards.

Sued my neighbor back in the late 80s for running his business from his home and property in violation of the covenents of the subdivision we live in. Actually, it was me and eight other neighbors that sued him but I kind of led the charge seeing as to how his land abutted mine.
His business - he was in the garbage hauling biz and was parking his garbage truck and two tailers on his property creating quite a stink, literally. We won the suit and forced him to move his equipment. Also made him pay our lawyer's fee. He got two warnings about moving his shite but he refused to do so so we sued him.

Spent a lot of summers at my grandparents’ house growing up, and their neighbor was insane. It was a middle aged lady and I have no idea if she was divorced, widowed, or just never married, but as bitter at the world as she was I’d guess she never married. She came out screaming at my grandpa one day because he stepped in her yard while he was cutting the grass. My grandpa was a very patient man, but I could tell that incident tested his patience. She called the cops on me and my brother one day because we built a small bike ramp in the cul-de-sac. This was at the very back of their neighborhood and the only traffic that came down there was people that lived in the cul-de-sac. Cops were cool about it and just told us to move it closer to the curb and be careful. She also called the cops when my grandparents were moving out of that house and the moving truck was in the street.
