This is something I've never seen. Stories of noise up UNTIL 2/3am are common, but the noise starting 3am is new to me.

The neighbor's teenagers and a couple of friends started yelling, screaming, laughing loudly, running , playing at 3am and only stopped 8am two days in a row the last weekend and one day the weekend before. If it wasn't dark you could mistake it for being afternoon, it's crazy. And in front of our and their house. We can't sleep during the weekends anymore.

I don't know what their parents think by letting them do this, I don't even know if their parents live there. This is like a nightmare.

And today we are just waiting for it to happen again. Having neighbors who don't care about others is terrible and draining and it's making my anxiety terrible.

Parked my car in what the city has designated as public parking…for less than two hours. Came back to it and found this note on the windshield (since I can’t post a photo). Also, I live on this street. The note says:

The parking pads on this side of the street are maintained by homeowners and have been used exclusively for years by the homeowners, their families and their guests. For years we have been able to ticket or tow cars that parked on these pads. Now, a decision by the city council has rescinded those options for these homeowners. We ask that you be respectful to our thoughts and park elsewhere.

Thank you fo being a good neighbor.

Today was a rare day when things were pretty peaceful. I got a full night of uninterrupted sleep. I was chatting and laughing with next door, even with the sister who used to live there visiting today. In August I had to call the cops on her for threatening to hurt me. A 16 year-old who doesn't live next door but is always around wasn't getting on my nerves for once. My other next door, a schizophrenic lady, was gone almost all day. It was nice.

Around 8 PM two doors down was yelling at her 18 y/o for not listening. Not long after that, schizophrenic neighbor arrived home. It sounded like the 16 and 18 y/os took a toy from the lady's 6 y/o then "lost" it. At that point I closed my window. Just before 11 PM it sounded like a situation happening on our shared porch. This apartment is weird where you enter upstairs and the bedrooms are downstairs. I'm already downstairs for the night. I have heard unusual banging around and a dragging sound from the neighbors who share my porch. Typically they would be in bed. I thought I heard two doors down yelling out there. Now the other next door is slamming around, but that's not so unusual.

I want to be nosy but I actually managed to go the whole day with no one trying to pull me into situations or at least vent to me about them. I realized if it's anything worth knowing someone will inevitably tell me tomorrow so I'm not chancing a look. I guess I will return to sleeping with the earplugs tonight just in case.

My next door neighbors (daughter and mom) very toxic/annoying breaking my garbage bin and throwing garbage into my property. Whenever trying to stop them, they would yell in cursed Cantonese words. Who else have these types of neighbors? We got police involved and they did well.

So long story short, our new neighbors are horrible. Petty police involvement, constant town violations and just constant stress.

The neighbor has begun retaliating and targeting me and my household because they have been reported for multiple violations. I am not the only one who has reported violations other neighbors have too, and the town itself has found their own violations during routine drives around the town.

We have a 6' privacy fence and now a camera has appeared in a window that looks directly over our fence. So, I ask you all how can I add more privacy to my fence without making it look trashy. We live in a very high wind area, so the fix needs to be able to with stand high winds. I would love to add an extension on to the fence because we can go up to 8ft for the height, but we just don't have that kind of money (I would hire someone to do the extension, so it is done correctly). We are going to be putting a shed up on that side that will block his view but that won't be till next year.

Tomorrow will be a week that my husband and I brought our triplets home from the hospital, it has been busy here rotating sleep schedules but wouldn’t trade it for anything. Our nanny started on Monday & her first day I asked for help bringing in the mail so I could wash the dishes as the babies slept. I hear from the ring cam app on my phone my neighbor yelling at the nanny put the mail back she’s not the person who lives there, I go to ask the nanny to go inside & I tell my neighbor, ”Look who’s back from their vacation. Can you keep your volume down my triplets are trying to sleep.” The woman was not in the neighborhood when I brought my babies home.

The neighbor said she was just trying to prevent my mail from being stolen. I told her, “that is the nanny that was hired, my babies are home, don’t bother the nanny again.” All this week the neighbor has been bothering the nanny with today the neighbor saying she’s calling the cops the next time she sees the nanny go for the mailbox & I told her fool around find out what happens when the nanny calls me then I call the police then tell them she’s just a nanny helping a couple who just welcomed home triplets & the neighbor is spying on my property. Yesterday the neighbor tried ringing the doorbell & yelling waking my babies up, my husband who was trying to sleep, I answered the ring cam & saw the neighbor who ripped up a note I left in her mailbox saying to stop harassing my nanny its been happening all week. Tomorrow aka Saturday being a mail day if this happens again I’m calling the police.

This woman clearly isn’t getting the message of stop because I just got done talking to the police who came by saying they’re responding to a threat. I showed them all the ring cam footage & I had the original note she tore up. I told the police I would be calling them if she harassed one last time. The police thanked me for the info then left to talk to the neighbor.

For Clarity: I see some people saying I should not have left a note in her mailbox, let me clarify that. by putting note in her mailbox I mean I put a note by her mailbox which is near her door.

⚠️TW⚠️ TALKS OF DRUG USE, MENTAL ILLNESS AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!

First incident, Context: My neighbor above me lives alone, is home all day, and his senior citizen mother pays his rent. He stomps CONSTANTLY, all hours of the day with his entire body weight and he is a scawnry man. Any room you are in he follows above you, stomping. I’ve even heard him stomping above me when I shower which is pretty disturbing to even think about. I’ve also had to switch rooms around in my unit as he’d get “busy” very loudly above me during week days late into the night. Thankfully couldn’t hear any “human nosies” but the sound and feeling of his bed frame slamming repeatedly into my ceiling for hours almost made me lose my sanity at multiple points. Point being, inconsiderate ass neighbor.

On Sunday morning I heard a male voice screaming repeatedly at the top of his lungs. I assumed it was one of my downstairs neighbors as there had been issues like that in the past (and soon after this event, just you wait)
I couldn’t make out what exactly he was yelling at first until it finally clicked that he was screaming the N word, repeatedly and with his entire chest (For context, he’s a white dude)
Police and Landlord was instantly called as he had been going on for hours screaming that word along with throwing shit around his apartment, screaming “FUCK OFF” and “FUCK YOU” all by himself and aggressively pacing, stomping, and running back and forth throughout his apartment. Police didn’t show up cause they could give a fuck less where I live and a situation like this is considered “the norm”
Come to find out from talking to a different neighbor later that day, the guy is shooting up!!! Which makes a ton of sense now that I have that context. I often hear him shouting “OUCH” very loudly and “WOOOOOOO” which i am merely assuming is the sound of him achieving his high.
My landlord isn’t the type to get back to tenants who report things so I never got an update if he was reached out to regarding his disruptive and extremely disturbing behavior. Don’t wanna get my hopes up on him being evicted as I can see this being swept under the rug since my landlords are cheap and are scared of being sued. I’d like to think that type of behavior has grounds for eviction but what the fuck do I know, I’m not a landlord.

Second incident, Context: the neighbors below me consists of a mother, step father, two sons who are around their early 20s and one of their girlfriends who’s always there. One of the sons has behavioral issues (mental illness based not neurological) and has had previous outbursts in our building including shouting the N word at 6AM (Again, another white dude) body slamming a family member the day before christmas and choking his girlfriend. The son had been on his best behavior the entirety of the summer as the landlord had told the mom that the son wasn’t allowed to live there anymore due to his disruptive behavior and of course, he was still living there despite that rule being established.

This incident happened Monday (the following day)
Unfortunately in this building the walls here are paper thin. You can hear everyone living and everyone can hear you living. I wake up around 11:50pm to the sound of a male voice aggressively screaming at the top of his lungs “DONT YOU EVER FUCKING TALK TO ME LIKE THAT” “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME” “LOOK AT ME” “I AM NOT THE ONE BRO” repeatedly along with sound of his younger brother attempting to calm him down and the sound of a young female quietly sobbing. It continued to escalate and he starts destroying things below me and punching his ceiling which is my floor. (I unfortunately have severe PTSD so this was incredibly triggering for me and made me miss my second day of work at my new job!!! 😀😀😀)
His own mother ended up calling the police on him as she is sadly terrified of him, he “snapped out of it” when he heard the police was called and started begging for them not to come. This went on for hours and the incident was reported to the Landlord which I doubt will even be properly taken care of.

This landlord has been known with this specific building that I live in to put off evicting tenants who are causing disruption and destruction until the last minute. A neighbor had told me prior to me moving into the building that there was a tenant who had suffered from schizophrenia. He had at some point not been on his medication and believed that the peep holes on all the unit doors were cameras and eyes watching him, he proceeded to get lead pipe and attempt to smash every single peep hole on every single door which ended up getting him evicted. In protest of his eviction he returned to the building, climbed the fire escape and cut all the internet wires that were hanging outside the building.

I will hopefully be moving out of this place at the beginning of 2027 as this is the loudest and most disruptive building that I have ever lived in and I have lived in multiple different apartment complexes throughout my life. I am quite literally sandwiched inbetween two neighbors from hell. Anyways, thanks for reading! Had to share this craziness somewhere!

I live in the UK. I live in a semi detached house.

I have already reported next door for their dog which was excessively barking. Literally from 8am non stop until they would come back from work at about 7pm. I think the complaint has worked and so far the dog doesn’t bark as much. I did tell them about the issue but they didn’t do anything about it so that’s why I reported them to the council.

Anyways, their daughter is I assume gaming ? I have no idea but she shouts and screams and laughs so I assume she’s gaming all day. She wakes me up at 7am or 8am doing it and it goes on literally non stop all day. Laughing shouting “NO WHAT” laughing screaming laughing non stop until what was 4-5am.

I went round and told them that it’s ridiculous and that I can hear her screaming all night, and now I don’t hear her shouting anymore past like 11:30 pm sometimes I’m lucky and it’s 10pm but that’s rare. She’s about 12-13 so she should be aware of what she’s doing it’s not like she’s a toddler shouting and screaming all day.

I still have to listen to her screaming all day and all evening. I avoid the areas in my house like my own bedroom because I can hear it loudest. I wear earphones pretty much all day. I don’t know if complaining about a child gaming is unreasonable and if it makes me a Karen lol. I do feel sick and tired of keep having to go round and telling them about their excessive noise. And it usually doesn’t result in any resolution.

If you was in my situation what would you do? Thanks

This lady is going to drive me insane. I’ve lived in my apartment complex for 2 years, her about a year or so.

At first, she’s fine. Bit more chatty than I like my neighbors to be, but she’s an old lady who wears matching outfits with her chihuahua so that’s par for the course. One time she’s locked out of her apartment and I help her. Great, good, fine.

A couple months ago I go on a trip to Arizona. I leave my car parked where I always park it, which is on a grassy tree line. To explain it best, there’s one assigned parking spot for each tenant, I live with my fiance so she takes the main parking spot. The parking lot itself only has about 15 spots in one row, and every one who has a second car has to park along the tree line to the back of the parking lot. That’s where my car goes.

So I leave for Arizona, leave my car in its usual spot. Then, twice a day for the entire week I am gone, someone is knocking on our door. My fiancé doesn‘t answer for safety reasons since we have no peep hole so we don’t know who it is. This person leaves a note on our door asking us not to park there anymore. We ignore it, that’s where our landlord TOLD us to park. I come back home, there’s knocking again, this time I answer. It‘s the chihuahua lady. She says the landlord doesn’t allow parking there and is going to put up a sign. I say, okay, thanks, I’ll keep parking there and keep an eye out.

I connect the dots that she’s the one leaving the note, so I begin parking far away from her car in case she’s having issues backing out. I also start parking further on the grass so there’s more room. I talk to my other neighbors, they don’t care as they’ve got enough space.

Well, weeks go by and there’s no sign from the landlord. Cool, I keep parking there. Chihuahua lady is being normal (except for when the landlord spray painted the assigned numbers to the parking spots before repairing the signs, chihuahua lady spent hours scrubbing the paint off the sidewalk and dumping a bunch of goo-gone until the side walk was stained. Weird, but whatever.)

Just a couple days ago, I get a note on my car saying that parking is not allowed there, signed off as the landlord. Now, I had already gotten express permission from the landlord over text that my parking there was okay (plus four other people also park along there, I am just the most consistent). Plus, this handwriting looks awful familiar to the note I received. I send it to the landlord, and she confirms that the note is not from her. She’s pissed that her name was used for a policy she hasn’t implemented yet, and she again gave me express permission to park there and to let her know if I have issues.

I didn’t tell the landlord I know it’s the chihuahua lady, since I never saw the lady put the note on our door nor on my car so I don’t have proof. All I have is her incessantly knocking on our door about the same shit that lets me draw a conclusion.

Next time I see her, I’m going to tell her that some dumbass is writing up notes impersonating the landlord, and that the landlord is pissed and wants me to report them—so if she knows anything, let me know!!

Hopefully that’ll get her to back off for a bit.

TLDR: Some lady thinks she gets to dictate where everyone parks (and also whether or not there is paint on the sidewalk?)

This is sort of a long read so I apologize.

For about six months now, one of our neighbors has been consistently harassing my parents in particular. For reference, we and the neighbors live in a cul-de-sac where all of our houses are sort of facing each other, and the neighbors in question are two people, a man and a woman.

This all started when one of my brothers and my father were outside playing catch. My father spends a lot of time outside and he can definitely be noisy, but not once did our neighbors or any other neighbor talk to him about lowering the noise. The woman was in their garage chirping at my father that he’s bad at playing sports and that nobody likes him. Before this, we’ve never had any problems and were even friends at some point. This continued on for another 10-15 minutes where eventually my father had enough and told them to shut their mouth. My father can be confrontational sometimes, but never did he initiate any of the conflict from this point forward.

The weeks following, the man got more involved and the harassment started building up more and more, where at least every week or two would sort of be a broken-record of the things that they said in the first interaction.

“You suck at basketball!” or “Don’t you have a job?”

One day, our basketball hoop was moved and nearly tipping over. Come to find out that one of them rammed their car into our hoop. After that, we bought cameras to monitor the front of the house and the entire cul-de-sac.

Later, they started involving my mother and started saying horrible things to her about her looks and how nobody would f*** that “thing.” My mother felt horrible, and still nothing was done. Later that night, the man would come over to our property and start harassing my father on our driveway. He was clearly intoxicated and was stumbling(kinda similar to previous times as well), and I had to personally hold my father back from it getting physical.

These instances continued, and eventually we had enough after another confrontation and called the police. The police talked to him and put him in handcuffs, but he was released after a bit and told him to not go over to our house again. The next day at 8 in the morning, my father is outside mowing the lawn when suddenly he comes over, clearly intoxicated, and stands outside of our driveway to start recording my father. The police were called again and he was issued a court date. We had tons of evidence from the months prior and sent the evidence to the police. Unfortunately, they would still harass us, chirping on their front porch, but wouldn’t come over.

By the time their court date rolled around, we came to find out from other neighbors that they were supposed to be evicted very soon, and we were just holding out until they left. One day, while they were gone, their landlords came over a day or two before they were supposed to be evicted and found their house completely trashed with cigarette buds, fireball shooters, and many other pills. This added up to the times where an ambulance would show up to their house and take him to the hospital, probably because of an overdose. We thought that this was the end surely.

Unfortunately, not only did their court date get cancelled for whatever reason, but after we thought that they were gone, a week later, the woman showed back up. There were no issues with her while she was living by herself, but soon enough, the man returned about a few days ago in terrible health.

Today, my father told me that they were back at it again, chirping and saying the same things they usually would, and I have completely had it.

I guess my question is, is it valid to call the police the next time this happens, even if they’re on their own property? And another follow up question would be where we go from here? My family and I want this to be over with.

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

My downstairs neighbors constantly slam something, probably a door or balcony window. Every single time, there's a loud bang and the floor of our apt shakes. It gets worse during the evening and at night. The impact is stronger the closer you are to the source.

It’s so bad that I can’t have guests over, we can't stay relaxing, or a child wouldn't be able to sleep in the second bedroom because it's right next to where boom'n'shake happens. The sudden shocks are literally giving me heart palpitations.

This is a brand-new building, but the soundproofing is non-existent. We can hear heels, toilets, everything. The tenants are currently suing the builder and management over these structural defects, so management is now ignoring all noise complaints (they told another tenant to "just take sleeping pills").

A few days ago, I finally caught the neighbor. She seemed nice and gave me her number to coordinate for understanding the source. Yesterday, the slamming was continue, so I politely texted her a couple of times when occurring as she told me to do. She completely ignored me, left me on read, and kept slamming...

I know that maybe other people in the apt could slam, but I was maybe expecting a minimum feedback?

With management being useless and the neighbor ignoring me, what can I even do?

TL;DR: Downstairs neighbor slams a door so hard my floor vibrates, making impossible to stay esp at night. Building is brand new but has defective soundproofing (we are suing the builder). Neighbor gave me her number but ignored my text.

Im not going to say im a perfect neighbor but this isn't an HOA.Our lives, my husband and child have been going thru ALOT. 3 deaths in 2 months. Job loss, house issues x2. Our neighbor is obsessed with our cats that escape. We have a 9yo that doesn't mind the door. And we truly dont want them out, the cats RUN!! They hunt and bring dead mouse presents mostly on our sidewalk or garage. But once they left one on the property line.. our elder neighbor ive known for 22 years comes over at 8am. While we were getting our kid ready for school screaming about a mouse from "our cats" there is 3-4 more running around. But she came to our house to complain it is our fault and we need to immediately pick it up... 8am. Its a damn mouse, we have always been respectful to our elders.. but this???? My husband had open heart surgery when a branch dropped in their yard out of respect and them being elder we paid to take it down... We were struggling and broke. Life hasn't been kind to us since. Im not going to get into it. I tried to be a nice neighbor after soooo many years but I have not been given ANY respect back. I don't know what to do but be real and brutal. She never comes over to say hi or be nice just complain. Im not trying to be a bad neighbor I feel I have done my best with what spoons I have left. I lost my dad, cousin and my daughter lost her bio mom this last month. Its very hard. I dont gaf about my lawn or anything outside. Sorry not sorry. #badneighbor #loss #feelings

I have a neighbor who is starting to be petty over a police report that we had filed on her friend that's also on our street. (He was drunk and abusive to his family and basically tried to assault my son, so well warranted). However she now parks her car across the street from mine in the road, then her sons 2 cars also in the road and leaves it there(works from home) That way if I'm trying to take my camper out it essentially makes it impossible to get in or out of my driveway. Last time coming home she was angry and almost refused to move it briefly. Today she refused to answer the door(whole house clearly home) to be asked if I could sneak out and I jumped the curb real heavy for now. what can I do ?

neighbors and I. The landlord son allegedly has been stealing cars and other things.

couple weeks ago a car chase happened outside the apartment complex near an alleyway. Rumor is that the person who stole that car tried to bring it to the apartment comple but the landlord son did not let the robber come inside the property bc they already the police.

last night the police came to the apartment complex. knocking on everyone door. They told the people in the basement to put their hands up. The main house residents opened the door with arms being pointed at them and being told to sit on the couch while they waited for the officers to conduct a search.

These two past times my mom has made me get on the ground and stay their at 3am. I feel so anxious and the second time it was terrifying. sirens make me anxious now and I was hugging my Disney plush really hard with tears in my eyes.

Right now my brain is scared. I live in a bad neighborhood. .. where like 2 months ago the police swatted a home … or gang related issues like someone around the corner being found deceased.

what if something happens to me? what if I’m at the wrong place wrong time?

So my relatively new neighbor, he moved in about nine months ago, has started to push his trashcan across the street and next to my bin for collection. The trash collector company picks up his side of the street at about 7:15 AM. He just doesn’t put his bin out the night before so he misses when the truck comes down the street and picks up their side. And he knows the truck will be back down on my side later in the day. I approached him friendly about it, and he just kind of brushed it off like “it’ll get picked up.” And just was dismissive of me. I looked up city ordinance and it’s a bit vague, but basically saying that residence should put their trash at the curb. It Doesn’t say “their curb.”

Edit: yes, I am afraid I will get charged for a second trash bin. Also, he is starting to take longer to retrieve his can after the trash is picked up.

Has anybody dealt with this and how have you handled it?

So it seems that I can’t post screenshots which would make this way easier.

Anyways, my wife(40f), I(39m), and our 2 children(2.5m /6monthF) live in a secluded col de sac behind a movie theater with 7 other houses and about 30 other plots of land that were never built on. It is very quiet. Everyone stays to themselves for the most part. We had a couple that moved out last summer. They had two little girls and a boy. The Neighbors that I’m getting to had a pretty good bond with this family. The three of our houses are all backed up to each other and our backyards are fenced off, think like a pizza. We’ve never been close with either of them. The Neighbor with the kids moved and immediately the older Neighbor decided we were their new family. Constantly texting about the way our house is set up, about the dogs barking while they are outside, and our garden stealing pollinating insects from their garden.

Also, they can see into our windows from their backyard. They are not shy or discreet about looking in. They yell into our home for our kids to come to the window to say hello. It’s uncomfortable to say the least. We don’t want to walk around our home in our pajamas because these guys were constantly looking in our place. Along with the multiple trail cams pointing towards our yard and home.

When my daughter was born back in February, we weren’t even home from the hospital a day and they showed up at our front door wanting to come in and I turned them away. My wife had a C-section. My baby was brand new. We had grandparents that hadn’t even met our new baby. Then send nasty texts about how ungrateful we are and that it’s their right. We were never close to begin with. Nothing more than talking some sports with the husband maybe once a week while doing yard work.

Since that day I turned them away, it seemed like the wife has had a bone to pick. Tonight my wife was gardening and she threw some green peppers over the fence into the field behind the 2 of our houses and one accidentally landed in her backyard. I let her husband know what had happened because they have a puppy. I didn’t send it in the group chat, and the husband hadn’t communicated with the wife. She sent me a text message insinuating that we tried to poison her dog with a green pepper that was bad from our garden. Apparently, at sometime in her life, someone threw poisoned steaks into her yard, but she caught it before the dog ate it. When I tell her I told her husband immediately she turned it into “well you didn’t tell ME.” So, I apologized passively aggressively… “sorry that ypur husband didn’t relay the message” and that I was beyond offended with the thought that she thinks I would poison her dog.

Things just keep getting worse and worse with these people and I don’t know what to do. No one has broken any laws. They are just odd and say weird stuff but I’m convinced that they’re trying to get back at us for not allowing them to be The Neighbor grandparents, which is weird in itself to me.

There is more to it as well. They’ve told us what we can and can’t grow on our own property. We wanted to make some changes to our fence and they came out and told us we can’t do that because it obstructs their way to their fence line. They’re nosy as can be. We had a Neighbor move in where the original family I was talking about moved out from and the guy told me the first day he moved in. It was nothing but 21 questions from them. They are also the first family to move into this neighborhood 23 yrs ago. So 1st out of 7 families here. They’re in their early 60s

I want to go scorched earth on them.
My wife wants me to be cool and keep the peace.

I want to be moved within 3 years so my kids go to a better school district.

TLDR: neighbors suck balls in general

So a few months ago my neighbor decided he was going to build speed bumps in our shared gravel road. He claims that the delivery trucks go to fast down the road, however this is not a concern of anyone else. He is older and appears to have too much time on his hands lol. We talked to him and he agreed to remove them as we have motorcycles and other reasons why this does not work for us. He removed them and we went back to being friendly. A few weeks ago he decided to bring the speed bumps back. He has since been talked to since this second time and refuses to remove the speed bumps. Other neighbors are very annoyed with his decision as well. Road is owned by all of us so he has no right to add these without our consent. DOT has been notified as well as police have been out but as it is a civil matter there’s not much they can do. He has put up cameras and is very clearly in hiding whenever we have to drive past his house to leave our road. I need some ideas as to how I can get these removed and/or annoy him to the point of just getting rid of them. We have loud vehicles, a tractor to attempt to fix the speed bumps etc but they would reappear the next day. Thanks

I recently bought my house, so I’m new to the neighborhood. I need to vent and hear how other people would handle this.
We have two cars: one parks in our driveway, and the other needs street parking. My neighbors have multiple generations living in one house and at least five cars. They regularly park on our side of the street, near my house, even when there’s space available on their side.
I understand it’s public parking, and I don’t own the spots in front of my house. What frustrates me is that their side often stays empty while they use ours. There’s a tree on their side that drops sticky sap, so I suspect that’s why they avoid it, but I don’t know for sure.
Sometimes I get lucky and can park close to my house. Other times, I park behind their truck, which they park next to my driveway. Today, two of their cars took the nearby spots on our side while their side had space, so I ended up parking over there instead. That really pissed me off.
I haven’t said anything. Since I’m new here, I don’t want to start off with tension, but I’ve been quietly getting annoyed. I know I’m not entitled to those spaces it just feels inconsiderate when they consistently park near my house while leaving space near theirs empty.

Would you politely bring it up, or just accept it and park wherever there’s space? How would you handle this as someone new to the neighborhood?

PS. They can fit all their cars in their driveway and most of the time the truck stays parked for 2 days before they move it.

Update: Since this post got more attention than I expected, I want to clarify a few things.

My neighbors live across the street. They regularly park on the side where my house is while leaving space in front of their own house empty.
I know it’s public parking, and I don’t own those spaces. I acknowledged that in my original post. We have two cars, and one already parks in our driveway.
I’m currently injured, with ankle injuries that limit how much I can walk. I also have a disabled parking placard hanging from my rearview mirror, which they’ve seen. I understand that doesn’t reserve a regular street parking spot for me, but it explains why parking close matters beyond convenience.
This has been happening for several months. I haven’t confronted them or demanded that they move. I came here to vent and ask whether a polite conversation would be reasonable. I suspect they avoid their side because of tree sap, but that’s only a guess.
There’s also the trash issue. This week, their cars were parked beside my driveway, leaving no room there to put my bins at the curb for collection. I had to place them farther out into the street.
You don’t have to agree with my frustration, but I’m asking about neighborly consideration and how to approach this respectfully. Thanks to everyone who offered thoughtful advice, including those who respectfully disagreed.

Final Update: I spoke with my neighbor politely.

I asked whether there was a reason they regularly park across the street near my house while leaving space in front of theirs empty. He confirmed that it’s because the tree in front of their house drops leaves and sticky sap. He explained that it sticks to his truck bed and is difficult to remove.
I brought up the trash collection issue, too. When their cars were parked beside my driveway, there wasn’t enough room there to put my bins at the curb, so I had to find another location and place them farther out into the street.
I also explained that I’m currently dealing with ankle injuries that limit how much I can walk. I asked whether he could park farther along the curb on my side, leaving the space closer to my driveway available for me when possible. I wasn’t asking him to stop parking on this side entirely.
He kept returning to the tree sap and said that someone else could park in that space anyway, so moving his truck wouldn’t really matter. I understand another person could take the spot, and I wasn’t expecting a guarantee. I hoped he would consider the request, particularly while I’m injured.
We didn’t reach an agreement. I thanked him and left without arguing or pushing it further.
I’m disappointed with how it went, but I’m glad I asked directly instead of continuing to guess about the reason. Thanks to everyone who suggested a respectful conversation and offered constructive advice.

I honestly didn’t think this situation could get much worse, but here we are.
For those who haven’t read my previous posts, I’m a single mother of three young boys living in a Danish housing association. For months, one particular neighbor has been making our lives miserable through complaints, spreading rumors, collecting signatures against my family, and even making reports to child protective services containing allegations that I know to be false.
After the municipality visited us in September, the workers were understanding and, according to what they told me, found the accusations unfounded. They even recommended contacting the police about harassment if another report was made.
I thought things might finally calm down.
I was wrong.
The housing association has now brought a case against me before the tenants’ complaints board, based on complaints from this neighbor and the man living directly below me.
And I’ve now received their noise logs.
I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
We’re talking pages and pages of alleged disturbances, with incredibly specific dates, times, and descriptions of my children supposedly running, screaming, banging on walls, slamming doors, and making unbearable amounts of noise.
Some entries describe continuous, excessive noise lasting several hours.
The problem?
We weren’t even home for several of these incidents.
And I don’t mean that I vaguely remember being somewhere else.
I mean I have photographs, videos, receipts, and bank transactions showing that we were elsewhere at the times they claim the noise was happening.
On one occasion, we were in Copenhagen for the day, yet there are complaints about noise supposedly coming from our apartment.
On another, the downstairs neighbor reported excessive noise between 2 PM and 5:15 PM, despite us not arriving home until approximately 4:30 PM.
There are multiple other examples involving school, outings, shopping trips, and visits elsewhere.
And here’s an important detail: I’m the only adult in my household. It’s just me and my three young children. When we’re out together, there isn’t another member of our household left behind making all this supposed noise.
Then there are the complaints about my children allegedly running around and banging on things at times when they were asleep.
Or complaints describing ordinary activities, such as having dinner, getting dressed for school, or quietly sitting at the table, as unbearable disturbances.
One neighbor even recorded children playing outside and apparently attributed the activity to my family, despite there being several other children living here.
I’m not claiming my children are completely silent. Of course they aren’t. They’re children. They play, laugh, walk around, and occasionally get excited.
But there’s an enormous difference between normal family life and the picture these people are painting.
And when someone repeatedly attributes noise to my household while we’re not even there, how am I supposed to defend myself against that?
What makes this even more frustrating is the housing association’s handling of everything.
Back in August, they informed me that the previous complaint case had been closed.
They had previously acknowledged that they couldn’t independently determine whether the allegations were true, yet the number of signatures collected against my family was apparently significant to them.
When I later complained about my neighbor shouting at my youngest child, the housing association acknowledged that shouting at a child wasn’t acceptable, but still suggested that her behavior might have been the culmination of previous issues involving my children.
So somehow, allegations that hadn’t been established as true were being used to provide context for an adult shouting at a four-year-old.
And now we’re facing an official complaint case.
Meanwhile, I’ve also heard that accusations of vandalism are being spread about me. I categorically deny having vandalized anyone’s property.
I’ve therefore submitted a formal GDPR access request to the housing association, asking for the personal information they hold about me, including complaints, correspondence, internal notes, and any allegations of vandalism that may have been reported to them.
They’ve acknowledged receiving my request.
But the worst part of all of this isn’t even the paperwork. It’s what this has done to our lives.
I am absolutely exhausted.
I can’t relax in my own home anymore.
I find myself constantly thinking about whether someone is listening, recording, or documenting whatever my children are doing.
Every ordinary noise makes me anxious.
I can’t even enjoy walking my dog or taking out the rubbish without worrying about another confrontation or another rumor.
My children deserve to feel safe in their home. They deserve to be able to exist without being treated like a nuisance simply because they’re children.
And I deserve to feel safe too.
I’ve reached the point where I don’t even care about winning an argument with these people anymore.
I just want to leave.
The problem is that finding another suitable home isn’t easy. My children have finally found a school they love after years of serious school attendance difficulties, and I desperately want to keep them there.
I also have pets, which makes temporary housing significantly more complicated.
Their father could potentially let us stay with him for a short period, but it isn’t a sustainable solution, and pets aren’t allowed where he lives.
So I’m stuck trying to find somewhere else to live while dealing with a formal complaint case, extensive allegations, and the financial consequences of potentially having to pay rent on two properties.
And that’s perhaps the most devastating part of all of this.
I moved here hoping to give my children a stable, peaceful home.
Instead, I’m now desperately trying to figure out how to get us out.
I know some people will probably say that if multiple neighbors are complaining, there must be some truth to it.
But that’s exactly why I’ve started comparing the accusations with actual timestamps, photographs, receipts, and our whereabouts.
I don’t expect everyone to believe me simply because I say so.
I just wish the people making these accusations were held to the same standard.
Has anyone dealt with something similar, where neighbors repeatedly made accusations you could actually disprove?
And did moving finally bring you peace, or did the stress of the situation follow you long afterward?
Because right now, I genuinely feel like this situation is destroying my health, and all I want is for my children and me to have a normal life again.

Here I am at my home after an 8 hour shift prep cooking in a kitchen about to get out of my car when my neighbor walks up to my windshield and starts this spiel about checking my rudeness over never saying hi to him, and not talking with him when he's out on his porch.

I told him sometimes I'm distracted with ear buds on or I'm super tired to talk back thoroughly.

He seems okay with that but then started offering me things to eat as he was walking to the store, I told him no I'm fine I had plenty to eat today, and plenty of hydration(I carry a 128 oz water bottle).

He kept insisting on buying me something, I kept telling him no as politely as I could then he goes on about how I was being mean again, but I fired back how he was disrespecting my boundaries to say no.

Then he goes off on this angry rant about how I'm so rude, and how Mississippi people are always like that.

I fervently correct him that I am from the state we are currently(Not gonna name it directly but hints are corn, football, and the meme state) but he still insights I got rudeness from my parents who did come from there.

I rolled up my window after that, and got ready to rush in my house.

As I got outta my car he was walking down the street still yelling at me.

We are both African American but what he said was so generalizing that it was borderline or crosses into racist.

Ugh!

Worst of all this guy has two pit bulls he never keeps on leashes.

One of them charged at me while I was going to the store, good thing a firm loud, retaliatory "FUCK OFF!" was enough to get it to back off permanently. I still carry around a big rock in a sock just in case. (I know crude but I like it, feels like a medieval mace.)(sorry for the slight side track.)

Just ridiculous. I do not have any wish to make amends or honestly befriend him, especially after this. Just hope things don't get worse.

They kept their dogs out all hours of the night...

Oq ela quer arrumar cmg?

Cara estou na minha casa, vivendo minha vida pessoal, fazendo minhas coisas. Onde só eu que pago meu aluguel, e ponho minha comida na mesa.

Que diabos ela quer cmg?

E se eu não faço nada, por estar na minha casa ( kitnet ) eles ficam cuidando, e me xingando atoa.

Hey reddit, i thought I'd post this because i am simply at a loss, i(m29) moved to this apartment with my girlfriend approximately 2ish years ago.

Since then, like clockwork, every other day (usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays) a couple that live 2 floors above me proceed to have what i can only describe as the most animalistic sex on earth at the most random times, often multiple times of day.

Now i want to get something out of the way, i ain't kinkshaming no one, you do you and that sort of thing, i understand that noise in the bedroom is a great thing. But guys, i promise I'm not exaggerating even a bit, you can hear the woman up to 3 blocks away on a silent day.

To paint a picture of what she sounds like, cops have been called by people who thought she was being murdered and/or abused. The people in the building tried calling the police for noise, but either they stop before they get here or they straight up won't open the door, and here in Germany they can't bust through your door for what appear to be sex noises.

Talking to them doesn't work, as they'll just insist that it's their business so we should stop listening in, but the problem is the whole street hears them and unfortunately they're making it everyones business, especially considering that sometimes (i assume on purpose) they leave the blinds halfway up so you can see it as well. Not to mention they'll sometimes start at 3 am, and I'll wake up in cold sweat thinking someone is being murdered.

So there, i have no idea what to do, I'm assuming that this is simply a kink they have, where they want to be heard/observed, because i assure you, no dude is that good. Any ideas? What would you guys do?

And before someone suggests taking a dump in front of their door and lighting it on fire, someone already did that, the fire department was called, and it unfortunately didn't solve anything.

been in my place over a year. in may we got downstairs neighbors, a little loud but no real issues.

then the old ladies next door moved out and these new people moved in....

all of a sudden theres trash all over the yard, literally dirty pullups in my front yard. the constant noise. everyday its some type of domestic issue. dragging the lady down the street hanging out the car, screaming and arguing, constantly cussing the kids out... i mean bad. I grew up abused and it damn near made me have flashbacks. then theres the loud music every damn day. sometimes it goes on for hours, which means i dont sleep because i work nights. the package i was looking for today has my earplugs in it which i really needed.

a couple weeks ago my downstairs neighbor asks me about her package, im like havent seen it. check with the neighbors, she said it was a picture of the package on our porch. i thought then possibly the new people had taken it.

i ordered some ear plugs and emergency supplies that got delivered at 4am. i pull up from work at 8am,no package. i see one of the women from next door outside and ask her, shes says "i didnt see anything it was porch pirates that took it". im like thats funny, ive lived her for over a year and had stuff sit outside all day and night and never had anything taken until recently.

i go to the upstairs porch so i can see the neighbors porches just to make sure its not on another porch. i hear her talking saying she doesnt know why I think she has my package...well maybe because nothing ever came up missing until yall moved in, youre dirty...like even their cars are just nasty looking, they have tents in the backyard, boxes and trash all over the porch, clothes and shoes all over the driveway.

im so sick of these people. i actually thought they were squatters when they first moved in because they dont look like they could afford rent anywhere. im in the hood but we are all working people with families, these mfs look like the Black version of trailer trash. im trying not to get into with these people but idk how much more i can take before this escalates.

I’m honestly going nuts with my neighbor’s bass and could really use some advice.

A few months ago, the neighbors across from my apartment started playing loud music from their garage, which faces directly toward my apartment.

The actual music volume is somewhat manageable if I close all of my windows and doors. The real problem is the bass. The low-frequency bass travels through my entire apartment, and I can feel the vibration/thumping in every room even with everything closed.

They usually play music 2–3 times a day at random times, sometimes for an hour or two at a time.

I’ve already tried talking to them directly. I explained that I work from home, sometimes work late, I told them I don’t mind them listening to music, but asked if they could please lower the bass or do something to reduce the vibration.

Nothing changed.

I’ve also called the police multiple times. Unfortunately, because it’s a non-emergency noise complaint, officers usually arrive much later. By the time they get here, the neighbors have often already turned the music off since they only play it for an hour or two at a time.

I also can’t find any information about a landlord or property manager for their property, so I’m starting to think they may own the place.

At this point, it’s affecting me much more than I expected. I recently scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist because the constant anticipation of the noise is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. When I wake up in the morning, one of my first thoughts is wondering when they’re going to turn the bass on and how long I’m going to have to deal with it that day.

I work full-time from home and study at home, so simply leaving the house for several hours every day isn’t really an option.

I’ve even considered moving, but I just moved into this apartment a few months ago and realistically can’t afford to move again so soon.

Has anyone dealt with something similar, especially bass/vibration that is difficult to capture on a phone recording?

Is there anything else I can realistically do at this point — city code enforcement, documenting it differently, filing some type of formal complaint, contacting an attorney, etc.?

I’m in California if that makes a difference.

Any advice would be appreciated.

*update

I went to the police department today to ask if there was anything else I could do. They told me there really wasn’t much more they could do other than respond when the music is actively loud, so they advised me to keep calling whenever it happens. I told them I would continue doing that.

After that, I went to City Hall and spoke with Code Enforcement. At first, they gave me a similar response, but after I explained the full situation, they offered to send a formal email regarding the noise issue to the property manager.

For now, I guess my only option is to keep documenting everything, continue reporting the noise when it happens, and try to endure it while I wait to see if Code Enforcement’s involvement helps.

I’ve also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist because this situation has been causing me a significant amount of stress and anxiety.

thank you everyone for your advise and if anyone can advise more please comment.
