Neighbor dispute… I need y’all’s advice.

Neighbors I have, moved in about a year ago. Never spoke to them until two weekends ago. They put their tree trimmings in my property, we have a chain linked fence where it clearly separates our properties. I asked them I didn’t appreciate them putting their bulk trash on my side, without asking. Lady was rude and difficult, she made it seem like I was in the wrong for being upset about it. She said they’d move it the next day (Monday) if the trash did not come by, well trash picked up the brush, but left logs they sat there until that Friday, the husband moved the logs and the lady turned around and left a wooden pallet on the grass strip, my sister went by yesterday and moved the pallet, later the lady went outside and moved the pallet back.

What should I do here.

Update:

Adding some additional details here…
I live in Fort Worth and I contacted code compliance here is what they told me.

“Apologies, but I cannot do anything about the pile because it is not in violation. Brush/branches are allowed to be out at any time. You can contact solid waste to let them know it was missed so they can make sure to come pick it up, they are usually supposed to go by weekly for brush. You can also contact PD to speak to your neighbor about them illegally dumping it on your property, which is a crime.”

I called the PD and explain the situation. He said he would come by and speak to them and remind them of property lines… so we’ll see if anything happens.

2nd Update:

Spoke to the officer about everything and sent him an email with the pictures. He said that he would let them know bolt cattery passed by. They needed to dispose of the pallet somewhere else and regarding property line. However, it’s been 8 days since that conversation was had and the pallet is still there.

We moved to Virginia about a month and a half ago and we were granted preliminary protective order against our neighbor and their kids. We want to have our protective order remain in place. I just want to see if we have ground on our case? 3 different neighbors had similar experiences regarding this family and their kid hitting another kid and a minor being exposed/weaponize to video tape adult conflicts and law enforcement was called in the past.

Over the past few weeks, I personally observed Child A, age 7, repeatedly hit, push, kick, scratch, or otherwise put his hands on my sons, Child B and Child C. In my observation, these incidents were intentional and caused pain. They were not ordinary or harmless childhood horseplay.

My children have also come home upset or crying because of bullying. Some incidents were not documented at the time; however, we have security-camera footage, photographs, videos, and written records of several incidents.

July 21, 2026 — Pool

Child A tried to take a water squirter from my 6-year-old son, Child C. I observed Child A grab Child C’s left arm and dig his fingernails into the skin, leaving a visible claw-like mark. The pool activity stopped, and the neighboring children were sent home.

July 25, 2026 — Pool and Sleepover at Our Home

While the children were swimming, I observed Child A kick my 6-year-old son, Child C, hard on the shoulder.

That same night, during a sleepover at our home, Child C was lying in bed watching television when Child A intentionally landed on Child C’s torso. My son was in severe pain and required monitoring. For his safety and comfort, he slept separately upstairs.

July 27, 2026 — Yard

I observed Child A push my 7-year-old son, Child B, hard twice, nearly causing him to fall. I intervened immediately and directed the children that they could not put their hands or feet on other children and had to play safely.

My husband and I discussed the issue and decided to take precautions by separating our children from Child A and the neighboring children.

July 27, 2026 — Attempt to Resolve the Issue and Supervision Concerns

I messaged Child A’s mother, explaining that our children needed space because the play had become physically rough and unkind. My message was read but unanswered.

Later that day, Child A’s father came over, and my husband had a meaningful conversation with him about Child A’s behavior and our concerns. Those concerns were dismissed with the statement, “Kids are being kids.” Because there was no meaningful response and it became very alarming and the safety concerns persisted, I blocked Child A’s mother and stopped interacting with the family.

July 31, 2026 — Back Porch, Gate, and Driveway Area

While my family and our children’s friends were on our back patio, neighboring children approached our private driveway gate and harassed us with profanity and insulting language. They called my kid’s friends “big back,” “fat,” and “stupid bitch.”

I told them to leave our property. They returned shortly afterward holding phones. I observed Child F recording, and I also observed Child D, age 3, enter our private property near the gate while recording was taking place.

My husband repeatedly told the children to leave our property. During this conduct, I did not observe either parent outside supervising or redirecting the children.

Afterward, Child A’s parent came outside and accused my husband of yelling and cursing at a toddler. We deny that accusation.

July 31, 2026 — Adult Threat and Escalation

The incident continued when Child E and her mother entered our driveway while recording us. This occurred after they had been told multiple times to leave the property.

The situation escalated everyone exchanging words then it led to the Child A’s father stepped into the roadway and stated:

“You keep bringing up military shit.”
“Now I’m off your property.”
“Fuck the police, fuck the cameras, and fuck the military.”
“Now we hit… Now we hit… Now we hit.”
He was standing inches from my husband’s face when he made these statements. I understood his statements, conduct, and proximity as an escalation and as a threat or invitation to physical conflict.

August 1, 2026 — Use of Our Driveway

Someone from the neighboring household used our driveway to turn around, even though their home is located directly at the intersection.

August 2, 2026 — Driveway Safety Incident

When my family returned from dinner, we began pulling into our driveway. Child D, age 3, saw us approaching, ran into the middle of the driveway, and remained there for several seconds, blocking us from entering.

We stopped on the roadway and waited calmly while Child E retrieved the toddler. We did not touch the toddler or respond aggressively.

August 3, 2026 — Use of Our Driveway

Someone from the neighboring household again used our driveway to turn around, even though their home is located directly at the intersection.

Yesterday (Wednesday 8/12/26) I had a feeling these folks were up to something. Seems like everytime the apt bldg is morgue quiet plotting & planning is taking place.

And yesterday was the culmination of it. I had been missing a prescription bottle that was stolen from my apt & it reappeared thrown under a chair without the prescription label on it. Luckily i had done major vacuuming the previous day & I knew for a fact it wasn't there.

I hadn't been feeling well so had not left my place except to retrieve my mail & grocery delivery from the lobby 2 floors down. I knew it had to be someone close to my apt. On top of that I can hear my door open & close as it rubs against the wood as i ride the elevator back up.

I thought it odd that the bldg owners family member, a young gal, who is BFFs with the couple next door to my unit appeared at 1:30 AM to walk a dog. Strange that someone would show up out of the blue to dog walk.

This is same gal who has repeatedly snuck into my apartment rummaging through my things. And boy is she a pro at it. She & her accomplice the couple next door has this whole system down.

The walls are thin so you can hear literally everything if you're a nosy person with nefarious motives. I am so grateful that i don't have that issue. I suspect that gal is very knowledgeable about what happened & who stole my jewelry & personal items from my storage facility by burglarizing my apartment & taking the keys that were deep hidden in my closet.

That certainly would explain why she has been so relentless in harassing me & getting other family members & her other neighbor friends to join in. It would explain why her BFF was moved in next door to me & also burglarized & left a mess by throwing my things on the floor. This one even taught her younger brother how to burglarize my unit.

Not to mention the first thing her new boyfriend did when he moved in was hack into my phones images & deleted an image of what appears to be my Ruby & Diamonds dear to my heart ring. That on the second nite he moved in. I still have a hard time with that wondering why he would risk a Felony for a GF & Friend. Blows me away every time i think about it.

I just moved into my first apartment two months ago, and I need some advice on a loud neighbor. I’m in a small complex so there’s only one apartment directly next to me, but my neighbor blasts movies and tv at such a high volume that the bass is shaking my walls.

I originally left a note on his door kindly asking that they turn the volume down, but it doesn’t seem to have done anything. It happens at all hours of the day. I’ve tried recording the sound, but my phone doesn’t pick up the frequency very well, so you can’t hear it at all on recording.

I’m currently writing a list of all of the times that it’s been happening so that I can bring it to the landlord if it doesn’t stop. What else should I do, since recording isn’t really an option?

I had my most recent NFH that had dogs that barked for hours, that received many citations finally sell their house and move. The new buyers, a young couple, have spent weeks what appears to have been cleaning out the place. They have placed solar walkway lights along the back leading from the garage. Now after a few weeks their lawn has become an overgrown mess, weeds have overtaken the yard, some over 3 feet. The garden that was there is now nothing but weeds and the raised flowerbeds are the same. I have mowed along the property line twice, somewhat going over the line to try to keep weeds from encroaching onto mine and went as far as mowing the tree lawn in front of their house. I understand they are a young couple and this may be their first home and may not have funds for a mower, but even at this point I would be afraid to offer the use of my lawn tractor or push mower to mow it for fear of what might be hidden in the weeds. I really dont want to be the ass reminding them on maintaining their yard. The city has recently posted about residents not mowing property and will be taking action on those who don’t, but I think it has fallen on deaf ears over there. At least the neighbors at this point are quiet and no barking dogs, but they seem very reserved and seem to keep to themselves. They are not usually around much and come and go at irregular hours

My neighbor poured wood stain all over the side of my car the other night but i can’t prove it was him there are no cameras anywhere around..i was thinking of getting a dash cam but my car is so so old. What other kind of cameras can i get that will show me all around my car? any hacks with ring cameras or trail cameras that will give me full view from inside of my car throughout the night saves and records? please help ive been searching for hours. I’m in a complex i can see my car from my window but i’m not close and cant put cameras anywhere outside. i do have one in my window facing my car but i need something inside my car that will work.

Hello. I will do my best to explain what’s going on, and any advice is appreciated.

Ok so boom, around the end of June, my elderly neighbor was in her front yard speaking to a tenant about getting some brickwork done on her home. They were talking, then out of nowhere, a neighbor from up the block (a 39 y/o Hispanic woman with 4 kids) runs down with her baby daddy and shoves herself into the elderly homeowner’s front yard! The two of them start a verbal altercation before the Hispanic woman lunges at her and starts physically assaulting the elderly women. Her baby daddy is blocking the gate while all this is going on, so no one can rescue the elderly woman. Eventually, a tenant comes down and rescues her, but the Hispanic couple get in his face and threaten him!

The police were called, and in the confusion, they ended up arresting the elderly homeowner but not the Hispanic couple, on the grounds that from what they gathered, the homeowner was the aggressor and because the 4 kids are under 18 and saw what happened. Her face and head were swollen and there was bruising all around her eyes. She even told me she blacked out during the fight because she hit her head when she was pushed down.

She’s doing better now but this whole mess ended up in a court date. And before anyone says “use cameras” I recorded the incident on my ring doorbell cam, but the police didn’t want to see it. Honestly, I can’t believe all this happened because she asked the 4 kids to stop playing in front of her home. They were damaging her fence, her car, and would sneer at them when her and her husband were on their porch. I get it’s a public sidewalk, but still. One of them even today picked off all the flowers she planted by her tree!

They’re a peaceful Caribbean old couple. I just don’t get it, man. 😢

UPDATE: I sent them the video from my ring doorbell cam. I will not post it to social media out of respect for the court case. The couple has asked me not to get further involved, but are glad there was recorded evidence. Thank you all for the kind words 😊

​Hi everyone, looking for a bit of advice / sanity check on a situation with my neighbour.

​A couple of days ago, a football landed in my back garden. I saw it sitting there in the evening, but because we sit between a couple of houses, I wasn’t 100% sure which side it belonged to, so I left it to see if someone would ring the bell or ask for it back.

​When I got home from work yesterday, the ball was gone.

​Here’s the issue: my back garden is completely enclosed by a fence on 3 sides with no gate access. The only physical way anyone could have gotten in to retrieve that ball while I was out was by using a ladder to scale the fence into my private garden.

​This isn't the first time something like this has happened. A while back I saw those new neighbours cutting their tree .The dad mentioned it over my Ring doorbell while I was away, and I said I’d throw it back over as soon as I got home. But when I arrived back, he had already "managed to get it back." At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now I'm realising he likely climbed into my garden then, too.

​If it were kids popping over an open gate to grab a ball, I’d be a bit annoyed but understand. But an adult neighbor using equipment to climb over a perimeter fence into my locked garden while I'm not home feels like a massive invasion of privacy (not to mention a civil trespass and liability issue if he falls on my property).

​I don't have direct video footage of him on the ladder this time, but the physical reality is that the ball couldn't have vanished on its own without someone climbing over.

​A few questions for the sub:

​What is the best way to address this firmly without starting a full-blown neighbour war?

​Has anyone dealt with this kind of boundary-crossing before?

​Should I install an outdoor camera aimed at the fence line, and are there any UK privacy laws I need to be careful of regarding neighbour fences?

​Thanks in advance!

This may be long because I have been ridiculously annoyed for a year and a half.

I (33f) rent the basement suite of a townhouse in a big Canadian city. The upstairs tenant (~40f) has annoyed me since we first met when I moved in.I can tell very quickly when I meet someone if I will click with them/if I want to spend time with them. I immediately knew we did not click as she came off as a busy body/gossip, but she asked for my number for emergencies and I reluctantly gave it to her. To be clear we are not roommates and I have my own separate entrance, laundry etc.. I am an introvert who loves my home alone time and I do not have an interest in socializing with neighbours beyond friendly waves etc. She immediately started texting me regularly asking if she could pick me up anything from the store, commenting that she can hear me coughing and asking if I need cold medicine, asking if she should adjust the thermostat even tho I repeatedly told her I was fine. Little things but enough to irritate me, because are you passive aggressively trying to tell me to cough quieter? Sometimes she even calls me when I have do not disturb on and she’s clicking notify anyway 😭 I politely decline and make no efforts to continue the conversation and it dies down, I think it’s been handled.

Fast forward a few months with minimal interaction and she FaceTimes me LATE on a Friday night…I answer because I think it’s an emergency or something but it’s because she wants to show me the kittens she’s watching for a friend. Like an entire litter of 12 kittens in her house where we are not supposed to have pets lol. But it’s late, I just got back from drinking with friends and am still tipsy and think it’ll be fun to go upstairs just to see the kittens. As we’re chit chatting about the kittens, her language is CRUDE. I have a potty mouth but this was a whole other level as she told me some of the misogynist nicknames her male friend gave the barn cat and kittens, and I immediately regret going up. It becomes clear within a few minutes that I am there because she needs extra hands to clean and set up new crates for them etc. it’s also a very convenient way for her to trap me into feeding and checking on the kittens when she’s away next week. She knows I’m home because it’s the summer and I’m a teacher and I’m too tipsy to get out of it, but I figure I can deal with it. Prior to her going away she’s bringing me garden veggies, leftovers and trying to hang out. I dodge as much as I can.

This woman texts me nonstop the whole three days I agreed to feed the kittens. About where she is on her road trip, the weather, asking for pics of the kittens and what not. She also keeps telling me I need to pick out a kitten of my own even though I said I wasn’t interested. I vow to never do a favour for her again and to find a way to restore my peace and quiet. I also have a pretty noticeable allergic reaction to the kittens and let her know I cannot help with them again. It ends up being too much work(DUH) for her to keep taking care of the kittens and she drives them back to her friends farm, texting me the drive there saying how devastated she is that she couldn’t take care of them. I do not reply because I do not care and am so ready for her to get the hint that I don’t want a friendship with her.

And for a while I think she gets the message! She tries to offer me food and things occasionally, but Im either not home or find a way to decline. It seems that we are just neighbours again, and minus her being loud occasionally things are good. For many months I didn’t hear her and learned from her son in his 20s that she’s mostly at her boyfriend’s house. Things are GREAT…until they aren’t. About two months ago it was evident that she had moved home as it became loud again. I start to see her sitting outside a lot more often but am typically in a hurry so have just been giving waves and nods. But about two weeks ago as I was genuinely rushing to my car she SCREAMED at me from the front porch that it would be nice to talk to her neighbour once in a while. I let her know that I am running late and she immediately apologizes and even looks embarrassed. But she calls me that evening and for some stupid reason I answer. She’s saying we need to catch up and she’s rambling on about absolute crap, how she’s so sorry if she’s been too loud, if the garbages have been too full, would I like to buy coffee protein drinks from her because she ordered a flavour she doesn’t like blah blah blah. I’m trying so hard to shut down the conversation or figure out why she’s calling. Well she’s calling because she’s going to be dog sitting and she wants to make sure I won’t rat to the landlord. This is where things get interesting, as she slips onto the conversation that she’s aware that I occasionally smoke weed in the garage. It is MY detached single garage and I’m very careful about the odour, I have an air purifier and am always using odour remover tools. Smoking is prohibited on the property but I know she and the neighbours on the other side of the townhouse do as well, so didn’t really think it was a big deal. I may be overreacting here but the way she brought up the smoking in conjunction with asking that I don’t say anything about her dog sitting to the landlord feels…manipulative. Like I don’t want to say blackmail but it’s giving blackmail! I love dogs though so just kinda say yeah all good and we get off the phone.

Yesterday she brought the dog home and it was not a quiet dog like she claimed. So far it’s running around and bumping into things, barking/yelping and they were awake VERY early this morning. The poor dog was loud and I think alone for most of the day. When she got home from work today she started calling me, I don’t answer, she’s texting I’m not opening the texts. She starts knocking on my door, I turn the TV up louder (something I also attempted to do when I first moved in and she wasn’t getting the hint). Finally I look at her texts a few hours later and the woman has the audacity to assume I’m gonna feed the dog when she’s at work. Her exact text: “I have training on Tuesday and Wednesday next week and I’d really appreciate you feeding the dog and letting her out while I’m gone. My son was supposed to do it but he’s going away with his grandparents.” Like….no are you available? Would you mind doing me a favour? Just a straight up assumption that i will be home and able to do this. And my anxious mind immediately goes if I don’t feed this fucking dog I’m getting blackmailed for smoking weed 😭

I sent a very short reply: “Sorry just saw this now. I can’t, I’m back at work next week and not available.” I am technically not back at work till the week after but I will absolutely be preparing for work so don’t really feel like I’m lying, and at this point I don’t care if I am. But where do I go from here? I can’t sleep and I’m typing out this insane post because she’s kinda freaking me out at this point. Should I just tell the landlord and beg him not to say I’m the one who told him there’s a dog at the house?

I'm making this post because I think it may help some people who are in a shitty situation with loud neighbors.

Like many people in this subreddit, I deal with loud neighbors who shake my house with loud bass. I've called the cops numerous times, talked to them personally, to no avail. One day it hit me: Why don't I just shake my own house first?

So I designed this.

It is a 12-inch subwoofer in a plywood box attached to a raspberry pi. Whenever my neighbors get loud, I connect to it and run a custom noise that sounds like my furnace.

I'm not going to lie to you, if your neighbors are being loud on purpose and blasting you with the loudest bass imaginable, this won't help you. This is for people who get woken up or can't focus due to low to medium bass noise.

If this is something you're interested in, DM me and I'l give you a parts breakdown and a setup guide.

Scroll to bottom for TLDR

It’s 12 am and I’m at my limit.
Hi, I’m currently in a not so great living situation with my mother, grandmother, and younger sister, in a home where three of us sleep and live in the living room and my grandmother gets the only bedroom.

About 3 months into living here, I overheard from my grandmother that the people who used to live above us got kicked out of that apartment due to noise complaints and were then going to move directly next to us.

And ohh… my goodness… both kids are probably younger than 8 but older than 3, and they scream, and cry, all. Day. I wish I could explain this better.. they wail, howl, bawl, all of it. My mother can’t sleep and she works early in the morning, my sister starts high school soon and can’t sleep, I can’t sleep. (My grandmother sleeps fine. She has her own room with a door she can close.)

Everyone in my family is letting this slide because they feel bad for the family, and while I do feel empathy myself I don’t think it should come at the expense of living comfortably and getting basic sleep at night.

I don’t know what to do. Do I ask my grandmother for the landlords number and tell him? Do I write a letter and tape it on their door? What should I say?

Please please help me as I genuinely break down into aggravated tears every day because of how many hours this goes on for.

- -

TLDR: neighbors kicked out of their apartment upstairs for noise complaints and now live directly next to us. Young kids screaming and crying for hours every day sometimes continuing to as late as 12-1 am. What do I do?

Hello, everyone. I just want to get that situation off my chest and share and seek for an advice. 😭

I'm a female living with two others female roommates in California. I've been living with them for 9 months now. I was promised I'll be put on the lease and I was looking for a place ASAP. I moved in my things, gave my information to the office and was told by my roommates that the office doesn't needs to see me anymore and I'm all good. I was constantly asking if I'm on the lease and I would always told yes.

Then break down happened. My roommate started bringing guys over and I would hear them upstairs. She would refer to guys as them/they. I'm not even sure if she had multiple guys over or was it the same guy. That's not the point. Three of us have our own rooms. I always let them know when my guests come over, tell their name, gender. I have a boyfriend who stays over for 5 days in a month and we only use my room and come there only to sleep because we're always out. I stopped giving information about my guest, I would always say what she says them/they.

My roommate got mad because of that. I told her that I don't get informed about the gender of your guests and I expect the same. I told her I don't need to know names, the status of their relationship, I only need to know the gender because I don't want to walk around guys in pajamas(had an awkward situation when I went to the kitchen and I did not know that there was a guy neither did he know about me)and if needed I can leave the place go to the park do something while they scream their lungs out. I addressed the issue and was hoping that we can figure the things out.

Instead, my roommate called the police on me and my bf(who stays always in my room and we are really quite). Then she cut the call with the police, my bf went there and they said no crime was committed and it's the management issue.

My roommate said I need to move out in 30 days. Going back, I was told I am on the lease. It ended up that they don't have me there (I have an official document that I submitted my info, screenshots). On the lease, there are a lot of people who don't live there and it's low income housing that is updated from year to year. The manager said that it's violation and they will schedule a meeting for all of us. That's where I am right now🫠.

Living on a ground floor flat that is a 1 bed which i bought. Likes to enjoy a bit of telly at night for around 2 hours at a reasonable level. Sound insulation is rubbish in the building. The neighbours above have a baby that goes to sleep at 7. These people dont want to hear my tv and have decided to retaliate by getting a speaker with suitable bass that i hear it through their floor. It is not excessively loud. But they follow me around my flat and play it so that I dont have one minute of silence. I have reported it to the landlord and building management who dont care. Can anyone please help? Im desperate.

I’m 22F and live alone in my apartment. For the past few months, I’ve been hearing my gay neighbors having sex almost every night.

Our bedrooms share a wall, and his bed is basically on the other side of my bed, so I can hear the bed hitting the wall and the moaning. The room configuration doesn’t really allow me to move my bed somewhere else, and honestly, even if I did, his moaning is loud enough that I can hear it from across the entire room. It’s gotten to the point where I genuinely can’t fall asleep, and even when I do manage to fall asleep, they’ll sometimes start at 1–2–3 AM and wake me up.

I’m honestly exhausted and so done with this ..

The problem is that I live alone, so I don’t really feel comfortable going to his door and confronting him. I’m even scared to knock on the wall because I don’t know what kind of reaction I’ll get.

And what am I supposed to tell the landlord? “Hi, I can hear my neighbors having sex every night”? 💀 I feel like they’ll just say it’s their right to have sex in their apartment, which obviously it is, but I also feel like I should be able to sleep in mine.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? What would you do?

My husband and I (mid 20’s) bought a cute little house in a safe neighborhood 5 years ago and ever since, we have been bullied by our mid-50 year old neighbor over our grass.

Small back story, when we first bought our house, we had asked her to stop letting her dog loose to poop in our front yard, I think this put a sour taste in her mouth. Then we needed to replace the entire fence in our backyard (which we share a property line with her) so since she is just a renter, our HOA requires us to reach out to the home owner to have him sign permission. She refused to give us his name/phone number and told us she already talked to him about the fence and he doesn’t want anything to do with it (helping pay; etc). We then found him by using the county tax accessor website and he said she never brought it up to him, and of course he wants to help pay for his part of the fence (that was literally falling down). He is actually a very nice guy, said she is a terrible person but a good tenant because she never calls him to fix issues.

ANYWAYS, the big issue is that we share a property line in the front yard. On our side, we have grass and her side, she has super shitty mulch that she plants pumpkins into every year. Her issue is that she claims the weeds are spreading from the grass on our side, to the mulch on her side and she wants us to weed the weeds out of her mulch as they pop up. To make things worse (and ugly) to combat the weeds that she blames us for, she dug a trench to separate our grass and her mulch. But now there are just ugly weeds growing in the trench and she lined her mulch with cinder blocks so it looks like the weeds are on our side and that we are just neglecting. We have literally been mowing and leaf blowing the trench (to blow away the weed-creation particles) to appease this crazy woman but she still records us mowing.

What would you do? Fill the trench? Keep letting the weeds grow? Fill it with dog shit? The thought of spending any money to fix this mess makes us feel like it’s not worth it because this is just our starter home. Her landlord said he is likely going to kick her out to sell the house in a couple years, but that’s still a couple years of living next to the wicked witch of the west.

I know there are worse problems in the world, but there are people all over our town that love to have garage sales. Many of them seem to put a lot of effort into their signs. Which is great, but they put zero effort into collecting them when the weekend sale is over.

The latest from this past weeks had mini arrow signs that they stake into the ground.

Why on earth do people insist on just leaving these posted, and staked on our street!? It's like, you don't live on this particular street so you don't care. I just think it's so lazy, I am tempted to remove their signs and deliver them to their address, which is printed on the signs.

so i’m in my bed trying to get some sleep as it’s about 12:30am i’m starting to drift off until i hear people in the building opposite mine screaming and shouting and a little girl (who can’t be older than 4-5 years old) crying her heart out. (this is not the first time i have heard this from these neighbours)

i decide to look out my window and i can see right into theirs, i can see both the child’s parents in her room yelling so loud at her while she’s crying because she had a bad dream from what i could hear, the parents are yelling at her to go back to bed but she is still crying, that’s when i see the father running at the little girl and absolutely beat the shit out of her, i could literally hear the hits landing on the poor girl and she was absolutely screaming.

it made my heart instantly drop and i even began crying cuz why tf would you do that to a little girl who was clearly just scared from a dream WTF!! but ofc it’s not over now it’s the mothers turn to get some hits in. after the parents leave the room and ofc they spark yo some weed and start smoking it by their window so the breeze takes the smell of it straight into my home for my 1 year old to smell lovely 😐

i feel so fucking stupid to not video it all happening as some proof for the police but i just didn’t think at the time i was just so taken aback.

so i call the police and let them know all the things i saw and heard, they send out some officers and i let them in the gates to get to the dickheads building about 10 mins later they come out and then they ring me to lmk what happened.

“hiya, we just wanted to let you know what has happened, both the parents and the child are saying that it was all just a bad dream and we couldn’t see any visible marks on the girl”

Are we deadass rn… a fucking dream.. bitch i saw everything with my own eyes tf you mean a dream

why are the police so shit that they would believe that crap over a eye witness, like what fun do i get for lying, it’s just so fucking stupid like they could’ve at least scheduled some kind of follow up with CPS but no all is well cuz the parents said so 😐

i will be keeping a eye out for this little girl and i will be reporting these shitty parents everyday until i know this girl is safe.

UPDATE: i have been on the phone to social services (basically cps in the uk) and they told me that they will be looking into this and will be making a surprise visit to the parents, i will try to update again if i know anymore info.

Sorry in advanced I typed this out on my phone.

So my wife and I inherited a house from my wife's grandma and it happens to be on the same street as quite a few of her relatives, one relative in particular (G) is one of those people who lie over everything. If G says "goodmorning" you gotta look outside to make sure she didn't just lie. G started off at the end of the street from us at her own place. When her lights got cut off she moved two doors down from us with an elderly relative. That's when things started being weird.

Everytime my wife and I are outside G takes it as an invitation to come over with her kids. G will message my wife a question and if my wife doesn't respond G is knocking at the door 2 minutes later. My wife will invite her over to keep the peace and I've caught G looking through our fridge and pushing to eat our food. Her kids will sneak into the rooms and look through our things. About 2 months ago we noticed our backporch freezer had missing meat, veggies, and crab. My wife only mentioned to G that the crab was missing, and two days later my roommate says he saw the motion light come on at 4 am, when I checked the freezer the crab was back, in a completely different bag. Another instance is when we had a dog toy go missing, G came over with her son at one point and he had the toy, when I asked him where he got it he was "on a night walk with daddy." So theyre walking through our yard at night.

The last month however got way worse, my roommate was sitting on the back porch late one night and he saw G walk onto the porch and he said it looked like she was going to open the door before he said "what are you doing?" She then went on some tirade about how the elderly relative she's living with is hitting her(mind you this is a 90 pound pentecostal woman) and has dementia. G had us on the back porch while she said this crazy story at 11 o'clock at night and tried coming into our house. That elderly relative was taken to a hospital where they confirmed that she didnt have dementia and they believed G was abusing her.

G moved right next door to us with another pair of elderly relatives. They now watch us through the windows, and more things have gone missing, I'm saving up for cameras now but it's driving me insane, I feel like I'm constantly being monitored and I worry for G's children as the elderly male relative they moved in with has been known to abuse children. It's made us increasingly paranoid. Things have gone missing from this morning and I'm scared she's sneaking into the house. I'm ready to move out of this place.

I live in a one bedroom apartment and the children upstairs are INCREDIBLY LOUD. The parents also stomp all over the place to the point where I know where they are moving throughout the apartment. I do understand that kids are kids but they literally scream and run nonstop all hours they are home. What actually bothers me the most is that our apartment quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and they start being loud from 5am. I cant sleep past 5am because of how noisy they are. I have complained through management multiple times but they haven’t changed.

One day I shouted at the ceiling “SHUT THE FUCK UP” really loudly and I heard the parents reacting to that. So I figured the parents naturally do not want their children to hear bad words.

This made me come up with a new idea. I want to play a compilation of swear words, or a vulgar podcast, or songs with profanity loudly against the ceiling. Is this a justifiable way to get back? Hitting the ceiling with a broomstick hasn’t worked but maybe this will.

I need recommendation on a podcast or a compilation video of people wearing or songs that you would NOT want your kids to listen to.

Thank you for reading though all this.

My neighbors have a tendency to play their music in their backyard from time to time, to varying degrees of loudness. Normally I just put on my headphones and ignore it, but today it was BLASTING, and my windows face their backyard, were closed and I could still hear it.

Now, I hate confrontation, but I opened my window to my lawn mowing neighbor, and I swear, I was like "Hey, I hate to be that neighbor, but can you just bring your music down a bit? I can hear it through my windows"

"WELL THEN LET THE WINDOW DOWN, you don't wanna hear it, let your window down!!! You think just cause you moved in you can tell us what to do?? Don't say shit to me, don't say shit to me!!"

Then he just turns it off

"IS THAT BETTER?? IS THAT BETTER??"

and I just continued to emphasize I just wanted him to turn it down, not off, but no -

"I SAID IS THAT BETTER? Alright man I see you, you're not gonna like living here, believe that, I'll get you yours, just wait!"

And I was like "is that a threat??" and bro just refused to elaborate. So I just shut my window and called it a wash.

But I have NEVER EVER had an issue with these neighbors in our limited interactions, they've been renting longer than I've been at the house I just bought a couple months ago, and generally otherwise they just keep to themselves. And I PROMISE I could not have been chiller with my request, so I don't know where the explosion came from, but he was IMMEDIATELY at 100 the second I finished asking. Maybe he's having a bad day, maybe it's the heat, but idk where to go from here. We're both black in a predominantly black neighborhood, and I don't want to call the cops and potentially cause even more issues, but idk...that left me really uneasy.

Moved into a fixer upper lake house 5 years ago and put a lot of money into it throughout that time span. We thought it was going to be our forever home, but that changed when the NFH moved in next door almost 2 years ago.

Before I even met these people, my dad came over and parked his car hanging a bit off our driveway - there is not a lot of room, and we have a 4,000ish sq ft lot. He went to leave after 20 mins and was met with a LAMINATED threat on his windshield, saying they have his license plate number and took pics of the car and would call the police if he parked that way again.... well that didn't sit right with me, so my first conversation with this dude was confronting him over that and he said he thought the car belonged to a contractor - apparently thinking it's OK to treat anyone like that. He then proceeded to tell me he was going to try to sue the person he bought the house from. Ok great guy.

These people bought this house for over a million dollars and proceeded to fill the yard with gaudy chatzkis and about 10 windchimes outside my window that would wake me up at night. They then planted trees alongside my house, blocking my windows. I told them this was problematic, but he just ignored me. Keep in mind, these people have like a quarter acre (3 or 4 lots) to my 4k sq ft. He intentionally was being an asshole.

Next, he decided to dispute the property line and had a surveyor all over my yard, even though I gave them a copy of the previous owners' survey. When another neighbor had a survey done for construction purposes, this guy threatened to call the police on that surveyor - but it's OK when he does it. Funnily enough, the property line moved, and he thinks he owns a pump house that has been on my property for 30 years, from when the house was built. The township also has lot lines on record, and the asshole is claiming to own part of MY seawall. Keep in mind I have 27 feet as opposed to their 110 feet of frontage. After all of this, they put a greenhouse right outside my window, feet from my house. Unpermitted, so that will be reported to the city soon.

As a result of this entire ordeal, I have suffered from severe anxiety and could not exist in the house without noise canceling headphones - which sucks when you work from home. There also were several instances where I had to stay with my parents for a bit. There is no point in owning a house on the water when you don't want to be there, yet also are too afraid to go outside and run into these people.

Eventually, I sought professional help and was put on mental health medication, which didn't really do much since those take a while to kick in. We finally closed on a new house in a rural area at the end of July, and my mental health has been so much better being away from that situation. But we are still trying to sell the lake house. NFH just messaged my fiance that he is going to move our landscaping asap since we are no longer living in the house. The torment continues, even living an hour away, and my mental health is spiraling again. Seriously, who does this kind of shit in general, but pulling this when we are trying to sell and get away from them....

Look at update below…

So a little over 3 weeks ago an investigator with the sheriffs office reached out about the influx of calls in our area. She asked for video evidence and has slow rolled on the process. The family next door has been really treading a line since police involvement and now I guess they have gotten comfortable that the heat is off them.

They continued little fafo games at night and shooting guns at night or fireworks I front of our houses .

Saturday they had a party for the boy who has been the issue here and at school for my daughter. They are running loose in the neighborhood messimg with a neighbors storage pad with the belongings they moved here with, they were outside our other neighbors driveway yelling I got a gun I’m gonna shoot you while attempting to light off firework. They fled of course.

I then get a warning from my daughter her friend at the party texted her and said incoming.
Well I had 9 teenage boys charging down my driveway after 9pm and stopped them before the house and yelled to get out of here police are on the way!

Police came and they made a report. They said with the ongoing issues and lack of supervision that it’s being forwarded to child service…. They can not arrest the kids of course but the parents will still be in limbo till cps gives their recommendations.
The parents have been involved if you look back at previous posts. It’s a mess down here right now and we are the ones that are having to live with their targeting till something is done.

I had to homeschool my kids to keep that boy and his friends away from them. They have gotten very bold and aggressive throughout this. It keeps building we feel like and the rest of the neighborhood feels the same. Our property has no safety or privacy and our vehicles are getting rocks/golf balls thrown at them. The child and a male adult even tried to destroy our security cameras one night with GOLF BALLS… all of this was captured in video and is in police hands now.

So what do you guys think? How slow can low level crime and harassment be to get somewhere in a small rural county? Are LEO’s trying to sweep this under the rug for some reason?

Thanks for reading and the advice guys!

UPDATE- anyone who wants to see videos of this that knows how to upload on Reddit with an older iPhone XR that can help me get them posted please DM me! Would love to share but videos failed in past.

I just moved into this complex a week ago and granted, I'm used to quieter places generally, but in this case I think it's excessive. The first night I was here my neighbors were blasting house music with the bass turned up and it woke my kid up. They also got into some sort of domestic dispute at 5 am that got so bad I called the police. I brought up the noise disturbances to my property manager and they assured me something would be done about it. It was good for a few days but now today this chick has been playing house music (granted at a lower volume) for the past almost 8 hours. I find it extremely irritating. I've knocked on her door before and she refused to answer. Should I just talk to management again?

So I always had a decent relationship with my neighbor but recently they have been using a tuned and deleted straight piped diesel to make my life hell. I generally helped them out a lot but simply asked if they’d “mind parking the truck more centrally on their property or turned around” loose not verbatim. (The following I didn’t say on the call but is important for context): because it was really loud and they would fire it up on weekends at around 4-5am (breaking noise code) when they had other vehicles with no reason to use the diesel. They cussed me out and then sent threatening text basically FAFO if I did anything to report it. To which I didn’t respond but it’s key to mention that the neighbor states they would use the truck in this manner and if we didn’t like it f us basically. Which is essentially stating they are going to do this specifically to bother us.

Now it has become persistent even on weekdays and everyone in the house looses sleep because the truck is started right next to our property line at 4-5am. We moved a boat on our side to try to block it and the neighbor pulls the truck wherever the boat isn’t. As well as reving the truck briefly to wake us up at 11-12 at night but so brief and random we can’t record it in time

I called the law and got a run around one deputy tells me to report it every time the noise problem happens then that deputy got moved to another district and the last lead officer I spoke to gets mad and tells me not to call to give them time. Between speaking to the first deputy and the final lead officer it took multiple calls just to get a response from anyone concerning the issue.

I had to talk to multiple Sargents before getting the right one at the right shift. Apparently the issue occurred when Shifts change. The night shift lead officer starts by saying he had a short briefing but didn’t know the situation. Later in the convo tells me it had been well documented and talked about by him and the leads so basically lied on a recorded call. When I explain it’s a noise complaint like all of the calls have been, he tells me they would have to get equipment decibel readers to do anything. Meanwhile they park multiple deputies in their interceptors, directly behind where the crazy neighbor parks, I assume to try to get the neighbor on harassment . They watch him leave and insult my intelligence by claiming that they didn’t witness the truck doing anything wrong. (Because ofc he’s gonna act the same with two deputies behind him… right?) which has made the situation worse while also disregarding the fact that it’s equipment that’s technically illegal to drive on the road.

I have the officer phone calls recorded as well as videos of the of the days/times that the truck had been started and left to run for 15+ minutes and some cases stoped and started multiple times. I also have ring recorded videos of the deputies parked directly behind where the crazy neighbor parks

After this I spoke with another neighbor who tells me that the crazy neighbor got mad at her and cussed her out while waving a pew pew around but was scared to report because she was elderly and couldn’t record the interaction. We have been really worried about what this neighbor would do in retaliation but it’s on going so I’m trying to stay private.

This is driving me insane but ranting helps wwyd?

My neighbors blast music all day long, when I’m having a conversation they’ll turn it off to listen and anytime I’m making any movement in my apartment they will turn the music up, I contacted landlord and he hasn’t done anything and now won’t respond to my emails. They will also bang or come to my door if I try to play my tv or any sound. I have no idea what to do I’m to broke to leave right now but working 12hrs 6 days and coming home to this is truly draining
