#1 Neighbors Gave Me Their Dog Because They Didn’t Have Time For Her But Just Got A New Puppy
But let me tell you, she’s been absolutely wonderful! So well-behaved and sweet. So I told the owners I’d be happy to have her and to take any food, toys, treats, etc off their hands if they don’t need it. They brought me half a small bag of food, not even a leash or collar.
This morning, as I’m walking my wonderful girl, I pass the owner’s house and see someone walking inside carrying a 2-4 month old puppy. As I’m walking back he catches me and asks if I have any dog food I can spare. He says he’s just dog sitting that puppy and doesn’t have any food and was about to walk to the store to get some. (Of course I gave him some food.)
The old owners didn’t have time for this amazing and chill 4.5 year old (who maybe didn’t even have a single toy), but they do for a young puppy? A young puppy they didn’t even leave food for the dog sitter?
#3 Snow Has Melted Enough To Show How Cr**py My Neighbors Are
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t hidden from a neighbor at least once in my life. And it turns out I’m not alone. A survey conducted by Top Rail Fence found that two-thirds of Americans have found ways to avoid interacting with their neighbors.
Of the more than 1000 people polled, 37% of respondents said they simply pretended not to see the proverbial Jones’, while just over a third admitted to staying indoors when they see their neighbors outside.
26% of sneaky people could win an Oscar for their acting skills. They said they made like Houdini and pulled out all the stops to make it look like they weren’t home. A few others preferred to seem distracted and wore headphones or pretended to be on the phone when faced with a neighbor.
#4 Upstairs Neighbor Has Been Dumping Their Cat Litter And Trash Out Of Their Window For What Seems To Be The Past Year Or So
#5 Neighbor Put Out Active Fish Tank On Curb For Bulk Trash Pick-Up
There are SEVEN clown fish in what looks like a 9x11 tank swimming around. I didn’t notice this when I saw the tank on Wednesday and it has been out there for three days now. Who dumps a tank with live animals on the curb to die and be carted off for garbage? I have a tank myself but It hasn’t been used in years and I fear I wouldn’t be able to move the fish safely into my home as I don’t have a space to effective house them and would stress them out. I’m looking for someone to come and take them safely or will take them myself to a pet store so they can at least have a chance to live. Just scared I won’t get to them in time. Garbage behavior.
Ps. These are the same neighbors with two large German shepherds that have horrid temperaments and are always freaking out at other dogs and pets.
#6 Neighbor Constantly Parks In Front Of My House, Blocked Driveway This Time
They have 2 hours until I go to bed and call the non-emergency number to ticket/tow it so we can go to work tomorrow.
According to Top Rail Fence, younger generations are nearly twice as likely to avoid their neighbors than people over 60. And the older generations are more likely to be friends with and trust the person living across the street.
64% of people polled said they'd be willing to ask their neighbors for a small favor. However, only 17% trust their neighbors enough to leave them with a house key. Those over 60 were twice as likely to leave a set of keys with a neighbor than those between the ages of 18 and 29.

#8 The Way My Apartment Neighbor Parked Next To Me (My Car Is On The Left)
#9 Our New Neighbor Just Moved In And Placed This Huge Container Outside Her Apartment Blocking Half Our Bedroom Window
A separate Lending Tree survey revealed that nearly three-quarters of Americans polled dislike at least one of their neighbors. The three main gripes were that the person gives off a weird vibe, is too loud, or is simply plain rude.
23% of respondents said they’d gone as far as calling the cops on their neighbors. While 1 in 10 just couldn't take it anymore, and had packed up their belongings and moved because of a neighbor.
#10 Someone Parked Their Car In Front Of My Garage
#11 Neighbor Treats Our Shared Porch Like A Dump
Across the pond, Brits also seem to be less than friendly with their neighbors. A Good Move survey found that less than 17% of those polled choose to engage and socialize with the people they live closest to on a regular basis.
Around three-quarters said they enjoy polite conversation if, and only if, they happen to bump into them. Less than one in ten Brits don’t speak to or communicate with their neighbors at all, going as far as looking the other way should they pass them in the street.
#13 Older Neighbor Cut Down The Trees Between Our Properties With Warning Only An Hour Before
#14 My Neighbor Parks Like This And When I Ask Him Not To He Tells Me To Do Something About It
#15 My Neighbor Keeps Adding Rocks To Our Driveway
The worst part? When I contacted the office to let them know, because technically these are on our side of the property, instead of acting like an adult and just moving them, she keyed my car and threw some kind of liquid all over the drivers door. And yes, we know it was her, in don't go anywhere and I certainly don't go around upsetting people enough to actually key my car. If we could afford to move, we would. The office refuses to do anything about it and I'm worried if I move her rocks that she will do something even more outrageous.
The Brits cite extreme loudness as their number one pet peeve and reason for having a fallout with a neighbor. Poor parking, having a “questionable lifestyle”, engaging in illegal activity, and having lots of parties also rub the British up the wrong way.
A quarter of Brits polled said they couldn’t handle a neighbor making unapproved changes to shared space or boundaries. While around a third hate poor home and garden maintenance. 33% wanted their neighbors to STFU and stop complaining about nothing.
#16 Ceiling Is Leaking For The Second Time In Four Months Because Of Upstairs Neighbors
It took over three months for him to finally get the insurance claim and check situated (he has to pay deductible, neighbors can't be held accountable due to some clause in the HOA I think).
Today, the neighbors were doing construction and apparently cut through a water pipe causing the hole to start leaking again.
Thankfully we haven't gotten it fixed yet due to the delay. We just picked out new floors last weekend and planned to schedule repairs ASAP.
Now I'm worried this will happen again after we get everything fixed. And the neighbors still won't be held accountable.
#17 Neighbour's Pick-Up Truck Hit Our Wall
#18 Neighbor Parks Her Car In Front Of Our House Daily. Texted Her Sunday About Some Landscaping We Were Having Done This Month
At a loss as far as what to do. I feel like I have plenty of notice and I’ve tried being a good neighbor but they’re generally rude any time I’ve tried asking for them to move the car.
#19 They Parked Here? Like Really?
