Living next to people is always a gamble – you might get friendly, quiet folks, or you might end up with someone who treats the neighborhood like their personal soap opera. These 41 nightmare neighbors fall squarely into the second category.
“Neighbors Leaving Lit Candles Unattended Outside Apartment Doors”

“I moved in only a few months ago. The other night I woke up to a noise by my window. I looked out and noticed this massive pile of cat litter. I’ve complained to the landlord but they haven’t done anything yet.”
“The Way My Apartment Neighbor Parked Next To Me (My Car Is On The Left)”
“Yes, these are assigned parking spots. I can still get my car in and out but it is incredibly frustrating. I plan to leave a polite note for my neighbors if this keeps happening but I don’t understand why people can’t just park normally, it takes 30 seconds to pull forwards and backwards again. This is the 3rd time in the past couple of weeks that they’ve parked way too close to me.”
“Someone Parked Their Car In Front Of My Garage”
“Live in a townhouse with an alleyway of garages in the back. What’s worse is that there was open street parking. And the neighbor that they were visiting had their driveway full of trash because it was trash day. Which is how I found this, because I was taking out my trash.”
“Our New Neighbor Just Moved In And Placed This Huge Container Outside Her Apartment Blocking Half Our Bedroom Window”

“Neighbor Constantly Parks In Front Of My House, Blocked Driveway This Time”
“They have a 2-car garage and large driveway, but they keep the garage empty to sit in their lawn chairs and park 3 of their cars in front of neighbors houses (never their own house). This time, they parked in front of our driveway. I asked them to move it so my gf can leave for work at 5am tomorrow, and they said “sure we’ll move it in 10 minutes.” It’s now been over an hour and it’s still there.
They have 2 hours until I go to bed and call the non-emergency number to ticket/tow it so we can go to work tomorrow.”
“Neighbor Treats Our Shared Porch Like A Dump”
“This isn’t a stand alone incident. I’ve been neighbors for years with them. There’s always trash out there ALWAYS. Be it trash bags full of kitten litter or random things that’s being hoarded. Something about the Florida heat beating this lump of trash today has put me over the edge. I’ve never tried to tell the office about this issue but I have today. I put in a ticket about this issue and my fiancé and I are calling them tomorrow morning.”

“Neighbour’s Pick-Up Truck Hit Our Wall”

He put his kid in the van and entered, but ye forgot something so he left, and when he left the truck didn’t have the handbrake on so it went down and hit our wall, with his 6yr still inside, it’ll be around 1000€ to fix.”

“They Parked Here? Like Really?”
“Neighbors were throwing a party and all valid street parking was completely full, so they block another driveway in.”

“Neighbor, Who Eats In His Car, Always Throws His Trash Out The Window”
“Our neighbor, who hates his wife, spends all day in his truck. He literally comes home from work, takes a shower, then spends the rest of his waking life inside his truck, exhaust fumin’ and music blarin’. Whenever he is inside the house, they’re always screaming at each other to the point that I’m convinced one day someone in the house will become a family annihilator.
He also always eats fast food and twizzlers, and throws all the trash right outside the window. The breeze always blows it inside my yard or the grass right outside. We’ve complained to him and he gets very defensive and starts screaming again.”
“Our Neighbors Installed New Deck Lights”
“My Neighbour Has Installed A Security Light With The Power Of A Thousand Suns, Which Blasts Right Into My Bedroom”
“The pic doesn’t do it justice, this thing is ridiculous! I have a blackout roller blind that was fine when I worked nights and was sleeping during the day, but it can’t handle this incandescent monstrosity. Obviously if he was normal I could go talk to him about it… But you guessed it, he’s a handful. Older man with PTSD of some kind, he’s never bothered me so far but has done some crazy stuff on other neighbours and I don’t want to start anything… Nevertheless this is positioned to point directly at my house and stays on all night and most of the day.”

“Dear new neighbor, We have all lived in this neighborhood for most of us over 20 years. We all have meetings and talk to each other. We are happy you’re here but you already look like you don’t care what your yard looks like. Swingsets belong in the backyard and PLEASE remove that eyesore of a couch OFF the curb. Our neighborhood does not need to look like a trailer park. We’re not sure where you moved from but we are certain there were dumpsters on the way that you could have dumped the couch. It looks trashy already! Please be considerate of us who keep our yards trash-free. Remove the couch! This is not a junkyard.”
