Living in close proximity to your neighbours can sometimes lead to disputes.
We’ve all had those days when our neighbours get on our nerves. Perhaps they’re fond of blasting loud music when you’re trying to unwind, or maybe they kick-start their Sunday mornings with some DIY work when you were hoping for a tranquil lie-in.
However, most of us accept that living in a densely populated area comes with certain unavoidable annoyances, and hopefully, if you show understanding towards your neighbours when they’re a bit noisy, they’ll reciprocate.
But this isn’t the case for one woman who is having a tough time with her neighbours. She alleges her neighbours have been hostile towards her ever since she moved in and constantly complain about everything she does.
Their complaints escalated to such an extent that they’ve contacted the police twice because her lawn grass was too long, and even lodged a noise complaint over her using her vacuum cleaner.
The woman, who hails from the US, suspects her neighbours are antagonistic towards her because they own several houses on their street and wanted to buy hers when it was up for sale. Now, they vent their frustration by “doing everything they can” to force her and her family to move out.
In a Reddit post, she shared: “They’ve called the police twice because our grass was too high. Granted, it was getting a little long the first time, but grass grows. At least come talk to us about it before calling 911 over GRASS.
“Four times now they’ve called Animal Control on our dog. It’s either ‘he doesn’t have water’ (he always does), he’s ‘barking too much’ or ‘he’s not getting dog food’ (they saw us give him table scraps once and now think he doesn’t get properly fed). Not to mention all the police visits for pointless noise complaints (twice the ‘loud noise’ was our vacuum cleaner).”
She went on to claim her neighbours also hogged the parking spaces outside her house, yelled across her garden to people on the other side, and were “generally terrible” to her.
Seeking advice, she asked: “What do I do? I don’t want to move, but it seems like they’re doing everything they can to push us out. Can I get back at them somehow? A way to make them stop? I just want peace.”
Commenters offered their sympathies to the woman with many suggesting she simply ignore the complaints and continue to live her life happily in her house as the ultimate revenge.
One user commented: “The best way to get back is to not give a f**k. I’m sure the cops know them and will stop coming over stupid s**t.”
Another added: “Get Wi-Fi cameras everywhere ASAP. Speak calmly to the police and really get your point across when they come pointlessly that you are being harassed by the neighbours [who are] using the police as their own personal henchmen.”
