Hate Thy Neighbour
There really can't be anything more annoying - moving into a new house next to a complete tosspot of a neighbour. I've barely lived in my new dumphouse for two weeks and I've already participated in several snubbing bouts and one all out yelling at each other over the fence match. The pompous, bald-headed prick seems to think he alone has the right to be rude and tell people to shut up... well at least he did until he started on Steve Tucker (under the influence of several pints of Boddingtons and two shots of tequila). Either way, wouldn't you just know it. It's absolutely typical of my luck.
On the bright side though the house is great, despite the temporary lack of wallpaper or good carpet, and I'm really settling in nicely. To bore you even further I'll post some pics when I get chance :)

How's about the guy in my town who had tapped in to the neighbours electricity and television. He seemed nice on the outside but was a total prick! You have the advantage of knowing this man is an arsehole from the start. A kind of blessing in disguise you might say.
That shouting match sounds exciting. Did you win? :D

I guess so. I'm keeping my eye on him anyhow. Yeah I won.

The great thing about San Francisco is that there is a great deal of anonymity - if you so desire it. My wife and I take advantage of that nice feature of the city quite often.

The benefits of living in an apartment - you barely see your neighbours unless you choose to.
Hope he doesn't cause you too much grief anyway.

I've never lived in an appartment so I wouldnt know what privacy feels like!
Still, since the 'yelling over the fence' do we havent spoke, which I am quite happy content with :P

I moved into a new semi-detached house in May. It is a new development and I was the first to move in. I was looking forward to meeting my new neighbours and as I've never had any difficulties with neighbours before and considering myself a friendly bod, I thought all would be well.
5 months later and I'm thinking about moving. I have never met such rude inconsiderate people. I live by myself - I'm divorced no kids and don't make much noise as I'm usually out and about. They're about the same age as me - in their 30s with 2 kids. A boy of 7 and one of 2.
From they've moved in I've been unable to get a lie in on a Saturday/Sunday morning or any other morning for that matter if I'm off work. All I hear is banging and bumping. I can hear them going to to toilet, the guy blowing his nose like a fog horn and their screaming at the kids. Setting all this aside, I can hear them around their bedroom and even worse their bedroom activities. One Saturday night it was so bad that I was wakened at 215 in the morning to moans groans and shrieking. The next thing I thought they were going to go through the bedroom floor. Woken up in this way, my heart was racing and in a temper I put music on really loudly which is very out or character for me. The next thing I heard my front door rapping at 230 in the morning - obviously they'd stopped their activities to come and tell me that I Was Making Noise!!! I'm a single girl and would not answer the door to anyone at that time and couldn't believe it when 5 minutes later their shrieking and groanin began again. Obviously going for seconds. (The kids were staying with grandparents). I've heard this kind of noise before from them but lets say I thought she was being strangled or murdered. I'm no prude. I've been married but I find this inconsideration totally unacceptable.
They continue to park their 2 cars on the roadside despite having a drive way and will insist on parking outside my front door which is really irritating me.
Initially, I spoke to them, but it was always me saying Hi or hello. Couldn't get a word out of them. I think he would be more friendly but she obviously doesn't want to be friendly and doesn't want him to speak to me. Must think I might run off with her husband. And as for him, I've caught him eyeing up my underwear on the line!
I've got onto building control to see if the house has been built to the correct building regulations. I can't believe that in this day and age people still suffer like this.
I detest them and its making me ill and my nerves are wrecked. Everytime I hear a noise I jump.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered moving.

Wow... they sound worse than mine! My previous neighbours undertook similar noisy bedroom activities and it's a right pain in the arse. Hope you get it sorted out with em. It could be worse though I guess - they could be violent drunks...
