Nightmare Neighbours?

When I was in my teens, my family and I were terrorized by our Pakistani neighbours. It started after my Step Dad confronted them for damaging our front fence. We would frequently find them sitting on it, smoking etc. It escalated pretty badly. I recall one of them pushing my Mum over, who was carrying my infant brother to the car. Other incidents include putting a brick through our kitchen window, keying my Step Dad's car etc. The police were called on multiple occasions, but eventually it was a housing association that intervened.
 
Neighbours are fine on both sides, apart from one of them randomly chants or something every so often, not sure if it is a religious thing or what but they get lots of people round and seem to chant.

More bizarre than anything else.
 
I had a bad neighbours at my previous house some what. I rented a flat in a converted house and someone lived above me in the roof and made constant noise, i think at one point they were even working out in there. At the same time the next door neighbour was converting the house next door in to flats and would start at 7am and finish at 8pm even on weekends. I had a few shouting matches with the guy and once he said he would fight me and i said to him we can meet at the front of the house and ill fight him but i never went, i think he was waiting for me. I moved out soon after due to the constant noise.

/beta male.

Only kidding though. What a tool.

I get on with mine thankfully. One side is a girl who was in my year at school. They are expecting their first baby and so are we (at the same time) so its going to get noisy.

The other side are 3 younger adults. 1 BF and GF, and the GF sister (the sisters dad owns the house and rents it out). Noisy when they moved in and I was a little worried but they have been great now things have settled down.

Yeah same here. I live in a really nice area now with a good community spirit.

Although, I used to live up in Newcastle in new build flat. There were three floors and we were on the first. Above us were a nice semi-retired couple who only really came to stay at weekends and the below flat was empty.

One day I cam back from work to find a young lass moving in, replete with bump. I am somewhat worried about this because so far we really haven't had neighbours so we couldn't tell how loud a newborn would be (or, whether we would get complaints ourselves for keeping up the baby if we were watching TV or whatever).

Anyway time goes by and the baby drops, we sometimes hear a cry or two but it seems the build quality of this flat is actually pretty good. Then the 'trouble' starts. A chap, who I can only assume was the baby's father moves in and proceeds to start ragging her absolutely senseless at all hours of the night. And she was a screamer! Bearing in mind their master bedroom was directly below ours, you can imagine the disgust/embarrassment/hilarity this brought the Mrs & I.

On one occasion I'd ordered a new case from OC and on coming back from work had found the delivery chap had left the package with this neighbour. I was rather embarrassed because the night before had seen a particularly rambunctious performance which has almost had us knocking on the door at 3AM. When I went to collect the box, I was greeted by the young mother and we made polite conversation. She made a round-about apology saying "I hope the new baby hasn't been keeping you up all night". I do not recall whether she smirked or not but my face was like this :o

Our current one is a screamer, too. Doing our nuts in, to be honest.

"Single" mother, two kids who do nothing but scream the house down from morning to night, and into the early hours. She screams all kinds of obscenities back at them, slams doors, stomps about, laughs like some kind of cackling witch so loudly that it comes through the walls and sounds like she's in the room with you.

And then it gets to nighttime. I swear that they wait until they believe we've gone to bed -- they must do with some of the timing, and then you get 20 minutes of cackling laughter followed by over an hour of her giving her best lung-busting performance. It sounds like a casting couch. Every single thrust gets an "OOOH!", an "AAAAH!" or a breathless (but still somehow incredibly loud) "yeah". This goes on, and on, and on.

If it isn't that, it's the television, or music or something else.

When you have to get up for work in the morning, it's ridiculous. I almost went round last weekend when at around 3am somebody decided to start blasting some kind of Bollywood-esque dance tune in the bedroom. It was so loud it could have been coming out of our bedroom television. Thankfully they turned it off after that one song and seemingly went to sleep. I was like :confused: :mad:.

Their kids also like to throw toys and clothing out of their bedroom window, onto the top of a lean-to that we have attached to the rear of the house, and into the garden. We used to bring any items we discovered back round, as the mother never came to ask for them. Now we just let the dogs have them.

They put bags full of WKD bottles and ****** nappies into our RECYCLING BIN, which could get us fined if it happens often enough, and I've seen one of their kids standing in the driveway taking a leak against the fence, like it was the most normal thing in the world to do. Parents didn't bat an eyelid.

Apparently she's a drug user, too. Her brother occasionally shows up -- you know he's there when the entire place stinks of weed -- and there's a rumour going around the village that she's actually a prostitute. Which would explain the almost constant sex noises at night. How those children sleep through that, I cannot fathom.

Also another rumour that the kids' father came round one day to collect them, got no answer at the door but heard screaming from upstairs. He forced his way into the house to find her passed out on the living room floor, having taken some kind of drugs, and the kids left unattended in the bath -- having found some of mummy's razor blades and having a "bloody" good time.

How true this is, I don't know. I suspect not so much as you'd fully expect those kids to be taken away from her if it were true.

Still, they're absolute animals. Complaining about the noise isn't likely to do much but start some kind of war -- as they are wont to do -- as through the brief conversation we've had with them it's obvious that the total IQ of all individuals in that house, combined, is sub-80.

If they keep it up, though, it won't be long before I'm getting environmental health on the case with logs, recordings etc. We've already reported them to social services multiple times, but nothing gets done.

Thing is though unless you move in those circles you will almost certainly never encounter any trouble whatsoever from the paramilitaries / gangs / whatever.

I've lived here for 8 years now so all 'post-troubles' and the biggest inconvenience I've had was a series of hoax alerts that closed one of the main routes into Belfast.

Indeed. I've lived here my whole life and never experienced any paramilitary type stuff. Never lived more than 15 miles away from Belfast. It's all in specific areas as you say.
 
Can't think I've really ever had a problem with neighbors, although I've moved 11 times in 7 years so maybe I'm the problem one :S

That sounds like apalling behaviour. But I see nothing that suggests the ethnic background of them was relevant?

Obviously missing something, so I think everyone posting hellish neighbour stories should specifically state which ethnic heritage our nightmare street-sharers are. ;)
 
A couple of doors down from us we have two lesbians who very much like to spend time naked in their garden hot tub!

They're not shy, I can tell you! :D
