Next door neighbor horror stories

Neighbor banged my wife and mom then stole my dog and did donuts on my lawn before burning down my house and beating me up in front of my dad.

Mine has their 54-year-old daughter living in their guest house and the mom always sides with the daughter even with blatant evidence the daughter is in the wrong. The dad, who is in his mid-70s, is always sitting in his driveway drinking so he doesn't have to deal with it. He has told me how since the daughter moved back in, his whole life is turned upside down and he has no peace.

I would drink too if I had to deal with the wife and daughter as he does.

Thankfully we all have one-acre lots so I don't have to deal with them much but I need to add some fast-growing foliage on that side of my property to block them out more.

Out of the places I have lived, this is my first time having a crazy neighbor story and it is fairly mild thankfully.

Man, this a-hole who just moved into the house across the street called the cops on me for parking my tow truck IN FRONT OF MY OWN HOUSE!! The nerve of that guy.

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

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 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

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

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.

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.
