   Sure Zillow comes off like they they have the key to the knowledge room. In fact Zillow has
   very little clue what some prices are or how to figure estimates for
   exterior upgrades such as permitted
   buildings and so on. To top it off
   the site doe’s not work right, if you try and change your info or better yet correct the Zillow morons mistakes, you can’t get in. The site will say we already have an account with your e-mail address, you just need to reset your password. So you try to do this , they e-mail a site address to do this, yep!!! you guessed it, you can’t get in. To top it off I have e-mailed these idiots at least ten times with all the problems, their mistakes to lack of correct prices. They refuse to correct or let you correct
   anything. Not much of a site, how can you sell your home on this site when they have it undervalued by as much as fifty percent, JERKS.

   When I was growing up as a kid, a new set of neighbors moved in with two Scottish Terrier dogs. The would yap non-stop 24/7. The owners were very passive and my parents attempted to discuss it with them, but a week later, the same old yapping occurred 24/7. My brother and I would play out back and here them yap in discontentment. Needless to say, my brother and I loved peanut butter. My brother came up with the bright idea of placing a very thick mound of peanut butter in a couple of wallered out dinner rolls, and threw it over the fence to give them something to eat and shut them up. The next day, the dogs ate the peanut butter, and damned near choked to death. My brother and I scrammed inside not wanting to get into trouble, and the next few days, the dogs were not found outside. Evidently, both dogs came down with a bad case of the runs, and a month or two later, the neighbors house was up for sale. I guess that’s one way to shut a dog up and cause the neighbor to move out.

   My neighbor is very discourteous, loud, and noisy! They have a big growling, barking dog. That disturbs the peace in my quiet neighborhood. NOBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A BIG GROWLING, BARKING DOG LIKE THIS!They even keep it outside barking and barking super loudly in the winter time!(All year round.) They are very, very discourteous this way. When they are going somewhere in their car they slam their car door 6 or 7 times for each person, when they are getting into and out of their car! VERY LOUD AND DISTURBING!! They wheel their huge garbage can down and then back up the gravel driveway making such a LOUD DISTURBING NOISE–IT IS SCARY!!!

   If you think you have neighbor problems you should try being 36 and living in a co-ed dorm! These teenagers are like a bunch of monkeys. There is no privacy and certainly no room to grow! I have learned threw my dorm room experience to live in a smaller space and be happy doing it. The small houses might really work after all.

   I have an obnoxious neighbor that has a howling (not barking) dog that howls late into the wee hours. I filed a complaint and they counterfiled a complaint saying I was stalking their daughter and had a surveillance team monitor my movements. After that didn’t work, she had some bouncer come over and pay me a visit. Want to trade neighbors?

    my neighbor does not have a dog or do anything but complain about us. to every agency he can. He doesnt like anyone and the whole neighborhood hates him but he keeps on trying to bully people.
    We have cats and he puts out a capture cage and if he catches them they will disappear we found out when we first moved and it happend. so we got a couple more cats and he called animal control saying we had 25 cats. then i started building a little fish pond in the back yard he called the health department. i put up my pool the lines for it were drawn a month before it was put up but he called zoning for it being to close to his fence. i tried to talk to him from the sidewalk and he called the police on me. then it was dcfs because i have babysitting in my home. then he assulted me for putting something on my side of the fence because it is his fence: funny how it made sure he couldnt see thru it accept at my bedroom window. i called the police and they did nothing about him assulting me saying i was trespassing. last night the police were here cause someone stole his capture cage. I am afraid of the man i would never go on his property but he called the landlord 4 times today telling them something bad is gonna happen to me towmarrow. we do not throw parties we are not trashy we do not have a yappy dog or make noise at night, the only noisy time is when the kids are in the pool.
    i am at my wits end on what to do about him, moving is not an option. it takes everything i make to just keep my head above water now i have this man trying to run me off.
    Just to let you know all the places he has turned me into were unfounded but it gets annoying not knowing who is gonna knock on my door next with a complaint.

    Omg!I came home from a nightcap at the bar around midnight one night and turned into my lane to shine my headlights on my neighbors teen daughter and some guy having sex right in the strip of grass on the street. Right under the street light and last week condoms were found by my husba d under a rock when he was mowing the grass. Gross! When I saw them I yelled to them to beat it and go have sex in front of someone elses house that if I found them there again I would call the cops. I am so mad right now!

    my upstairs neighbor started doing construction in January. I was on chemotherapy at the time and asked that he at least let me know which days would be tolerable at home because it was difficult for me to get out of the house to avoid the assault. he wouldn’t talk to me. His contractor tried to help, but he fired the contractor, which I found out later because i was draging myself out every morning & staying out all day to avoid the impossible noise, even though it turned out I didn’t have to be. he started again in March. In June I finally lost it, spoke to the manager who said she’d try to find out what they’re doing. the told her there was a week worth of work left till they demolish the wall between apartments- whcih they didn’t have the permit for yet. Four weeks later, she finally made them stop . they said they had a week’s worth of work to do after the wall demolishion. two days ago (we’re now in August) I get a note (I’m supposed to be grateful that i was warned ) that it’ll be going on for three more months. the manager said she got a schedule so i can plan my life and that according to the schedule it should be over before three months. well, according to schedule, the wall demolishing was supposed to happend yesterday and today. it didn’t. they’re lying doing whatever they please and getting away with it while i can’t live in my own home.

    Holy Cow! After reading a bunch of your posts I am feeling obligated to reply. We have a neighbor who is certifiable. She just this morning cleaned the snow and ice off of her Mercedez with a hula hoe. You know, one of those garden tools on a long wooden handle with the metal blade that goes back and forth…for digging up weeds. Jesus, Joseph and Mary!!! There WAS this dog that barked, howled, woofed, incessantly nextdoor. After 3 days I was crawling up the wall. Hubby and I believe in the direct approach. Over the counter sleep aids are of great value in this type of case. After 45 min. the animal started making sounds like some drunken cow. Funny. Don’t start in on me! Life is too damn short!
    I won’t go into all the effort we put into dealing with this. I haven’t heard the dog in a year. It is living ELSEWHERE.

    Our troubles with our crazy neighbors begin when the senior citizen girlfriend asked if she could have our side yard. Yes, asked. She offered no compensation. I just changed the subject thinking she’d realize that I wasn’t going to take her up on her bold request. She continued to bring up the subject. One day she even said she could have her boyfriend come over and remove all of my award-winning flowers from my side yard. My goodness, why would I want beautifully, well-maintained flowers removed?! (At the time, the woman wasn’t maintaining her yard, so why would I turn over my side yard to her? So she could grow more weeds?) I finally told her that I was never going to give her my sideyard and that the flowers, which I loved, would stay. At the point I heard how she hates flowers. Lady, if you hated the flowers in my side yard so much, you should not have bought next door to us. The crazy lady then started cutting down my flowers. Once she blamed the cut flowers on two nice neighbors. We put as high a fence up as we could under our city’s laws. Neither she nor her loser boyfriend — now the two crazies are married — weren’t happy with the fence, but too bad. (Oh, my, the expense was more than worth it to see the look on their faces as the workers installed the fence. She even sneaked over as the fence was going up to try and get a closer look–my husband caught her in the act). Now they can’t get their RV or boat on up their driveway–they have to pay to store both at a yard. There have been other problems with these two crazies. They hit our cat while we were home and dumped the poor creature bleeding from the mouth on the side of our driveway. Thankfully, another neighbor saw them and knocked on our door. (The cat lived). The lady’s adult son recently egged our house. Some neighbors saw him. The crazy lady’s husband has also said some incredibly rude things. He just doesn’t get the opinions of white trash are never valued. He really does think that we’re bothered by him or his comments, but we see him as a crazy, lazy fart who does nothing to better himself. We hear her bossing him around all the time. We use to hear them fight A LOT about his not working—he went through a zillion dead-end, loser-type jobs that you shouldn’t have when you’re well into your 50s and 60s. You know, the kind of jobs college kids get for a little money. They’ve stopped fighting about his not working. He gets up now in the mornings and goes and sits in front of a doughnut shop on a plastic white chair. How sad is that—an overweight, rapidly aging guy sitting out front a doughnut shop! And she goes off to work everyday to support him and herself–she’s not young, either. What they did to our cat was shameful, but we live a very happy, comfortable life and are able to put their craziness in stride these days. You know, sometimes good people marry bad people. Fortunately, these two losers found each other. She’ll probably go to her grave supporting him and he’s going to get fatter and fatter eating all those doughnuts.

    I have lived in our house for 10 years and the neighbors were OK until last year. That’s when their good for nothing daughter got evicted and moved in with her kids. She has 3 sets of kids from 3 men, not having married them. It seems it’s easier to get general assistance in CA if a woman stays unmarried. Anyway, their youngest kid is a 11 year old son who thinks it’s OK to damage and destroy other people’s property as he sees fit. There’s also a pair of teenage girls who talk like they’re from the ghetto, but they are white and grew up in suburbia. The kids damaged the tree in our front yard by ripping low branches off and then they stole a lock from the side gate to our back yard. After asking their mother nicely to keep their kids off our property to stop this vandalism, they became hostile and began making excuses for their kids. The kids kept doing stuff and damaging our property, and we eventually called the police to report the situation and to start documenting the problems we have had. The next week I installed some security cameras with motion detectors to record any activity on our front yard and driveway, and the neighbors responded by shooting out a side window from their back yard, away from the cameras. When confronted by the physical evidence, a hole in the glass window facing their house and a second hole in the insect screen behind the glass pointing directly to their house just above the top of the fence separating our yards, the mother and the grand parents began to lie and said they don’t have any pellet guns and don’t let their kids play with pellet guns. This despite the fact that one of our cameras video taped their son running along the sidewalk with a pistol in his hand. Then a few weeks later, they came by the house on a weekend when we were not home and stole one of the cameras by unscrewing the mounting screws and pulling out the wires. Another time I caught their son trying to climb over the fence into our back yard when he thought noone was home. It’s just a matter of time before they try something more serious like arson. The landlord who owns the house these neighbors live in is an infirmed old woman who doesn’t want to evict the neighbors, so the family feels safe from getting evicted for their actions. I guess it’s not as bad as having loud neighbors, but who would want to trade loud noises with vandalism?

    My husband and I have lived in a nice upper of a duplex with our 2 year old for about a year and a half. The place is wonderful and the landlord is great. Our neighbors moved in last summer and at first they seemed really nice. Two older women and their dog. At first they would come outside and play with our son, their dog would play with our dog and it was nice. Well then they started needing our help. With just about everything. They would ask if we would help hang flower baskets up, then water the flowers, if we would take their dog out because they are both “handicapped” and “disabled”. At first we would try to help out, but then it got to be ALL THE TIME. Then they started fighting. Like, loud too, slamming doors so that things would fall off our walls and screaming obscenities at each other. The cops got called twice last summer, and one of them was ordered to leave! We live in a quiet little neighborhood where nothing interesting ever happens and all the sudden there are cops and social workers all over the place. After that my hubby and I told them that we couldn’t help them anymore and couldn’t be mediators for their fights. Thats when they got nasty. They called the landlord every day complaining about us. We come and go too much (we both work full time, me first shift, him third), we were too loud (no one was home all day, and hubby sleeps), we do too much wash, we take too many showers, we vacuum too much and have too much trash that takes up too much room in the trash cans (which is funny, they always use the one bin we use, and then complain we use theirs). I’ve been off work now for 4 weeks because I just had my second baby and these people are nuts. This black lab they have is not trained, he’s lunged up the stairs at me when one of them was screaming at me about a light in the hallway we share. Even though that light is on OUE electric bill. The dog barks no matter what. When I open any door, when I got up or down the stairs to do wash, even if we SNEEZE! If they think we’re too loud, they won’t say anything to us, they’ll slam doors, call me names through the hallway, and scream “Shut those f***ing kids up”. Keep in mind, they used to play outside with my son and tell us how they adore him. Crazies. Last night, again the cops were here, one of them left and then came back. After they slammed a door so hard that 3 pictures fell off the wall, I called the landlord. He sounded so stressed, and he apologized to us and I even admitted we were looking for a new place. He assured me then that he HAS begun the eviction process and hopefully by spring these people will be gone. Today already they are slamming things, shouting things and I’m already considering calling the cops.

    We not only have a neighbor from hell, we live on a block from hell. They are a nasty and unfriendly bunch. The previous neighbors were pigs with garbage and junk everywhere. They moved two years ago, but I’ve learned first hand be careful for what you wish for.

    The newer neighbors have evolved into selfish pains in the a**. They have dogs which over the course of the winter destroyed a third of our lawn. I asked Mrs. neighbor to come out in front to look at the damage and ask them to curb the dogs. Well, I was met with cursing (she used the F bomb) and accusing us of not getting along with the previous neighbor. We clearly were the ones with a problem in her eyes. Never mind the lady could not say a simple sorry about what they have done. I even told this nut that I know it wasn’t just their dogs, but they helped to contribute to the problem. And our lawn is now the dog go zone.

    We have to string up the area while we reseed again. I’m so angry since we reseeded during the fall and this should not have to done!

    The neighbors jerky behavior is all the worse since my husband and his father installed a new porch for these ungrateful idiots not long after they moved in two years ago. I even took several hundred dollars off the price (materials) because they just moved in and didn’t sell their old home.

    And when they moved in they both said if we had any problems let them know. Well, I did and I got cursed out!

    We had a copy of their spare key, and the cowards did not ask us for the key back, but had the woman’s visiting mommy come over with a baloney story about getting locked out. And rather than getting the key and slithering back to their hovel the mother had to look at our 4 year old son and say he should be introduced to their pit bull!!! Unbelievable!

    The pit bull and the terrier are barkers so the mommy thinks if our son is “introduced” it would stop their barking!!

    We live in a bizzaro world.

    There’s more to the story but I may save it for a website. Complete with the crop circle (dog pee) pictures and calls to our village animal control

    I Have These Neighbors Next Door To Us. And They Are Impossible. They Just Moved In Not To Long Ago And I Don’t Like Them. The Reason Is That I Don’t Like Them Is Because Their Kids Throws Things Like Garbage In Our Yard. And Can’t Stay In Their Own Yard. They Keep Coming Into Ours. And Yesterday They Put A Stupid Little Fence In The Side Of Our Land And It Doesn’t Belong There. It’s Our Land.They Put It Right On Our Land. What Should We Do? I Tried To Be Nice To The Neighbor Lady And Told Her About Her Kids. She Smart Mouthed Me.What Should We Do? About These So Called Neighbors? We Need Your Peoples Advice Please Respond.

24. Krista on April 19, 2009 6:51 am

    Oh Yeah They Go On The Side Of Our Yard.And Don’t Go Into Their Own Yard.These Kids Are Rude And Don’t Respect My Wishes. Neither Does The Parents Of Theirs.We Don’t Know What To Do. Please Try To Respond.Give Us Some Advice.

25. LEOG on April 24, 2009 5:37 am

    Krista,
    Get a survey to determine if they are trespassing and if the fence was put on your property. If the fence is on your property your neighbors must remove it. You should contact your village officials and explain the situation to them and see what they recommend. It appears talking to these people does not help so you will need intervention from someone with a little weight behind them like a village inspector.

    Take photos of the garbage too and give them to the village officials you speak to. We had piggy neighbors and no one could believe the photos that we took. They thought they were doctored but they were not! People really live like this.

    Lastly, after you determine your property lines, you may need to invest in a nice fence yourself. Believe me the term good fences make good neighbors is true! It will keep the kiddies out of your area at least. It is well worth the money.

    My asswipen Ex-pretentious neighbor had my husband falsely arrested. He got pissed when after several attempts to solve a dangerous parking problem failed I, not my husband, called the CHP to fix the problem. This “man” first called the sheriff claiming that my husband was stalking him. Then he called again claiming my husband vandalized his truck. He then spray painted a 20′X 30′ blue tarp with white spray paint stating that my husband vandalized his property ect… and hung it across his driveway on Thanks Giving day where it stayed for several months.
    However that wasn’t good enough. He took my husband to court several times and failed several times to get a restraining order against him. Eventually he fabricated a good enough story and the judge did finally grant him a restraining order. But it didnt stop there. He created a web site site http://www.preventmurder.org and strung four more tarps end to end across the front of his house. He then hung a professionally made banner advertising his web site directly across from our home where they stayed for nearly two years.
    In short my husband was acquited of all charges in a court of law by a jury of his peers and the rest of the charges were dropped. We then had to leave our home out of fear for our safety. That was a year and a half ago. You would think that would be the end of it wouldnt you? Wrong! This asswipen Ex-pretentious neighbor of mine is now suing the County of El Dorado and the DA, Superior Court Judge, Sheriff, Board of Supervisors, State Assemblymen, even a very nice ex-neighbor of ours along with several others in Federal Court for twenty million dollars.
    All this started over a simple parking dispute. What do you think of that?

    My parents have the most crazy piece of trash living beside them. These people live in a nice neighborhood but they act like trailor trash. They have a camper trailor on the side of their house which by the way is on my parents land. They have not sure how many people living in the house. The grandmother to these people lives up the street and she is just as crazy. They have blocked the road and not let my family leave. They act like fools. Recently they even got a off duty police officer involved to run a tag for them he was even out of his work area too. Now he is facing a chance of losing his job. He was stupid.

31. Heather O'del on August 4, 2009 11:15 pm

    Hmm, none of your problems are like mine. I am 18 years old, homeschooling because i have not had one school in which i ever had any good teachers or pupils and so in that case i was very moody and did not like anybody. Anyways, We have moved into a neighborhood of townhouses and every neighbor we have are crazy lunatics. The police are here every week for reason like neighbors getting into violent fights, a father stangled his son and tried to kill him, another adult threw a kitchen knife at a kid, rap music is loud and vibrates through every wall, pit bulls that are bigger then the limit of size allowed in this neighborhood bite kids and attack cats, adults smoking pot in their homes while the children run loose outside and raise themselves and adults fight over the last bits of icecream from the icecream truck. I am 18 and fear to leave the safe walls of our house without my mom or older brother/sister because i think it possible someone may want to rape me. I got my older cat, Phoebe from a house who’s kids threw her out the upstairs window and on the roof, and my new kitten, Phisgig from a lady with 6 or 7 cats and he is eating like a starving carnivourus timber wolf. If he is scolded in any way he goes and hides in a dark corner and looks all lonely and sad, he’s just 8 weeks old for goodness sake!

32. Heather O'del on August 4, 2009 11:24 pm

    I do not have a neighbor from hell, i have neighbors from hell, did i mention a supersitious freak wanted my cat dead because she is black or that the same lady who gave me Phisgig wants to date my brother and she is twice his age?

34. zip on August 7, 2009 6:31 am

    a lot of what I hear on this site is horror stories, some of it is irrelevant, I just say about someone complaining someone is smoking pot. Just because someone smokes pot, doesn’t make them bad people. Loud music, barking, howling dogs, cursing etc. does. I have these neighbors who live in an apartment on a different street, playing infernal rap music at an intolerable level. I can’t fathom that other people in the building haven’t called the cops. One night they were doing the loud music thing and was going over there to clean house! meaning they would have to call the cops to save their own lives! just then a tenant says turn the music down and I yelled “turn that s+++ down or I’ll come over and put my foot up your a++! There hasn’t been a problem since. I did once call the cops and it took them 2 hours to respond. I decided that that approach doesn’t work. That sort of call is a low priority. I have a solution for all of you who have neighbor dog problems. At night, inject a hotdog with antifreeze, the kind toxic to animals.. Then throw it over the fence for fido to eat, In the morning, no dog problem!!!!! I am so tired of people and their dogs be annoying, I had a stroke 4 months ago.

    Zip on August, i understand you had a stroke but dogs are smarter then people think and i absolutely refuse to give one of them anything the least bit toxic, it’s horrible, how could you ever think to do that!

    I’m glad you made a recovery and that you are okay but i really don’t think you are such a great person to take advice from. These dogs can ambush me and give me rabies and i would never dream of killing them, i would call animal control and have them put down which is probably what their dog deserves already but whether humans like it or not, they are considered to be animals too and are no better then dogs, cats etc. We are all god’s creatures, our brother is the eagle, our sister the sky and our mother the earth. People please do not feel offended to my rightfully saying humans are animals too, zip needs to get his facts straight.

    Neighbor from hell??? Check this out…

    We live in a condo with neighbors above and to the side of us and the neighbor immediately above is a big source of pain. The last few years they have put out bird feeders (4), bird houses (too many to count) and a bird bath attracting so many there are bird droppings and bird seed all over the building, decks, and parking lot. Keeping a car parked “bird drop free” has become nearly impossible. The last two years we’ve had to call a chimney sweep to remove dead birds and squirrels from our chimney because we notice flies entering our home from the fireplance and the smell was unbearable. The sweep told us the problem, despite a chimney cap, is caused by all the bird seed, and when I mentioned it to the neighbor he just dismissed it.

    Last year this neighbor and another well-meaning friend put out a compost bin directly adjoining the fence on the side of our unit. Have you ever smelled cantaloupe rinds breaking down in the summer sun? It was so bad we couldn’t use our deck to sit outside, let alone barbeque.

    Of all the people we’ve lived near we can’t believe how brainless some neighbors can be. This same one lit candles on their wood deck rail (one level above ours) and let the wax drip all over our plants. They probably forgot the candles were burning and never even thought of burning them on a plate.

    As if that isn’t enough of a pain, they wait for us to clean our deck and then sweep theirs forcing the dirt off their deck between the deck slats onto our just cleaned one. Anyone ever hear of a vacuum?

    Now he’s digging up the naturalized areas around the community to build rock gardens and walls he can start more plants from seeds on. He must be growing (and smoking) marijuana.

    A couple years ago he surveyed us and our other immediate neighbors asking who would like some color added to the community green space. Using the results as an excuse to cut down all the shrubbery, most of which was mature boxwoods and evergreens, screening out headlights and nosey neighbors, he replaced them with flowers and deciduous plants exposing our windows in the winter. (And got the Association to pay for it.) Can you picture sunflowers popping up and falling down in the garden. This amateur obviously never read a gardening or landscaping book in his life. Before starting, when asked to see the plan, he replied “it’s in his head.” Must be alongside the rocks for his rock garden.

    And, the community association allows this to go on because they “don’t have to pay for labor.” I say rip it up and bring in some undocumented aliens and start from scratch!

    We have a CRAZY neighbor. She is extremely paranoid, agressive and a compulsive liar to boot. God help us! She tells wild stories about things she did, or has seen us do (in her imagination) and spreads them around to anyone who will listen, calls the police more often than we call for pizza delivery.
    Don’t park on “her street”.. She hoses down her driveway and fence daily to remove all the “germs and dirt” I swear her husband died to get away from her poor guy
