Yes, I hate my neighbor. They let their dog shit all over my yard. I throw it on their front or back porch whenever I see it in my yard.

Shit I dunno, but it must have been at least a few days. There were two of those "We Missed You" notices from FedEx that had been attached to her mail box from 2-3 days previous. Whether that means she was already gone or just didn't check her mail, I'm not sure. It was pretty terrible when I went to walk the gf's dog Saturday and the cleanup crew had her door open. Big ass puke stains all over the carpet, a mattress on the floor in the front room, I felt really bad for her. She seemed like a nice lady whose life was just simply torn apart by alcohol.

My neighborhood is pretty nice. Everybody smiles and waves, but I wish they weren't as stand-offish as they are. I guess moving to this house a couple of years ago can't compare to living in the same house for 20 years. In my former neighborhood I was pretty close with everybody.

Nope. Neighbors are nice. The neighbors to the east are born-again Christians, but not the preachy kind. They used to be party animals before they reformed so they are pretty open-minded about things. The guy owns a landscaping business and I keep his computers and internet connection up and running for him. He sharpens my lawn equipment and mows my yard on occassion. We both enjoy cooking too so we swap recipes. He actually graduated from the same high school in the same year I did but I never knew him back then. Plus, he's the social butterfly of the neighborhood and knows just about everyone in the sub-division where I live. If I need the skinny on any neighbors, like the ones whose unleashed dog ran snarling up to my dog and proceeded to get its ass kicked, then threatened to report me for having a "dangerous dog," he can tell me.

The other neighbor to the south (I'm on a corner lot ) is an older lady who is widowed. Her husband stuck a shotgun in his mouth and blew his head off about 6 years ago. She mostly does gardening and is pretty quiet. Occassionally she travels and I keep on eye on her house while she's gone.

Pretty ambivalent towards both sides. We're not chummy, and rarely ever make contact. There is an occasional exchange of "hi". Oh well, better than a couple years ago when asswipes lived on one side, and were not only loud, but also 'agitators'.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end

You won't hear any trumpets blowin'
Come the Judgement Day
But on the bloody morning aftererer
One tin soldier rides away

Nice:)

It's so bad between us, we have a fence up to keep the dogs on our respective properties...
with gates.
Three sides are as cool as can be. The guy across the street is an idiot but there is no need to interact with him or even see his house.

On either side not a problem but the guy across the street is whole other story. So far he's had a cow mooing it's head off and billy goat baying away in the front yard, mind you we live in the city. He has 2 boxers and Jack Russel that bark all the time. He parks his horse trailer on the street along with his his flatbed trailer making it difficult to get in my driveway, oh did I mention we live in the city. He has cardboard over one of his windows to keep the light out, barely cuts his grass and never trims, weeds or edges his yard. He moved some chick with her 2 kids who are always running through everyone's yard throwing stuff against the houses. His privacy fence is falling down along with the kids wooden jungle gym. The list goes on and on. Needless to say he is single handily driving down the prices of homes on my street. If you look up white trash his picture is in the dictionary!

i hate my neighbours in my apartment. i cant stand living around morons.

neighbours across from me are awesome, never a peep from them
neighbours next door are annoying, screaming children and cupboard slamming at all hours
neighbours couple doors down are party animals with 5-10 people living in the 2 bedroom apartment. cig smoke fills the hallways, they drink and smoke out in the halls, etc. loud, annoying pricks.

I like the neighbor across the street, but the one's behind us.... ohh lord. I would burn their house to the ground if it wouldn't be painfully obvious who the culprit was.

In the past I had some guy humping his fat girlfriend at all hours. "Oh Patrick, oh, oh" Eventually I would have to pound on the wall and say "Oh, oh Patrick, shut the fuck up, we're trying to sleep".

Then we had the 13 students from South America that packed into the little one bedroom apartment next door and would play guitar and sing soccer songs really loud until 5 in the morning. When they weren't doing that they would have their door open and people would just mill around in the hallway being extremely goddamed loud and obnoxious.

After them there were the two smoking hot Russian girls that I swear were doing porn. I would always run into them in the hall or the elevator with these mafia-looking dudes. I always wanted to work up the nerve to knock on their door and ask for a cup of sugar (*wink wink*) but never did. :(

I have one neighbor who's difficult at times, but otherwise all the rest of them are freakin awesome. I drink with my neighbors on a regular basis. We had a bonfire Friday night. :beer:

On one side we have the best neighbors, vacant house. In the back, we have assholes with a fireplace that stinks up the hood. Across the street we have the best neighbors, owner's son torched house, never rebuilt. Down the street but still too close we have the yap dogs from hell, screeching their freaking little heads off every time someone passes or no one passes.
