A lovely set of loud, ignorant neighbors is just salt in the wound. My upstairs neighbors are renters and have no regard for anyone around them. This mother/daughter giantess duo stomp around from 7 AM until 11 PM. Occasionally, the mother's boyfriend (also a giant and who is too lazy to park in the clearly marked VISITORS stalls and opts to use another owner's private space instead) shows up and we have yet drum to add to this percussion from hell. Now throw in the little yappy dog who's waste is left for the rest of us to step on, the overfed caught who runs up and down the hallways and some tacky door decor - voila! You have now met my neighbors. I tried exchanging pleasantries and casually reminding them that our building is 30 years old and I hear every - and I mean EVERY - step they take. Unfortunately, this woman simply nodded her head, said "no problem!" and then deleted our conversation from her memory. THUD! THUD! THUD! I wish I had a "tip" but all I can do is vent. Thank you, howtogetridofstuff.com for letting me expel my penned up anger. Bless me and my fist which is turning purple from uselessly pounding on the ceiling.

I have shadow boxes and other things on my wall to decorate it, everytime their chair hits against the wall things fall off. I've already had a few things broken and I've gone over and nicely and explained what's happening and asked him nicely if he could move his chairs so they wouldnt hit the wall anymore. He said ok, few days pass and it started all over again. Second time I went over there, I went over there with evidence to show what had just fallen off my wall and broke apart. I went over there and I was verbally attacked by one of his frends so we said a few words and I told him I'd set up a video camera to prove to them that I'm not just some crazy psycho person. And from there on end they have just been doing things JUST to tick me off. The banging on the walls have gotten alot harder, the people that used to just visit are NOW living with the guy thats mainly supposed to be JUST him living there and no one else. They have a dog living with them which we are NOT supposed to have ANY pets. I've talked to the landlord and he said he'd talk with them. He went and talked to everyone else that lives in our "circle area" of the apartments before talking to me and he said everyone else said the guy that's making all the trouble is a "Nice guy" and that they have no problems with him. Okay... well now I'M looking like the bad guy which i am not. I'm the kind of person who RARELY complains about anything. When him and his friends were playing his new drum set all day long until 10:00 at night I never said anything. He invites his friends over and they park in my drive way like it's not a big deal, they walk around in my yard like they just own everything. I'm sick of it and I dont want to move because I've been living here for three years and in those three years before them I have NEVER had issues with my neighbors EVER! I've gotten along with EVERYONE before these people moved in. What the heck should I do?

The father does landscaping and the mom stays at home they have four children ages 4 to 11. They called the county animal people about my dog and said that it was too skinny. Well it is a retired greyhound. I got ticketed and when the county agent called me that night he said that he had made a mistake because his supervisor has two dogs like mine and my dog looked fine to him. The agent said to throw the ticket away. Always remnember, when the city or county makes a mistake, NEVER throw it away. This makes the third time such a thing like this has happened becaus of unqualified people. Well, the next thing that happened, they backed into my chain link fence and tore it up. Called the local law enforcement and they said that if I did not see them do it or had video of it, I was up a creek with no paddle. Now she parks her van on their driveway beside the side porch and their guest have no way to get into the rear of the house to park. Now they drive around her van into my front yard and are making ruts. I solved that problem by putting three 5' lengths of 4" steel pipe along their drive way. Half the pipe is in the ground and half above. Note: that the driveway is partially on my property. I have installed a hunting scout cam on the flag pole in my back yard to take pics of these idiots. The landlord is a really good guy, in his 60's and retired he has told them twice about driving in my yard. People really need to mind their own business and respect other peoples property.

We moved to this hellhole town about two and a half years ago because my husband got a job in this area. At first the neighbor across the street was friendly and pleasant. Boy,did that change! You see, she runs a daycare business out of her home and every morning and evening people are stopping by to drop off/pick up their kids. I had no problem with anybody parking in front of my house as long as they didn't block the driveway. However,she had one client that thought my front yard was her personal parking space! Everyday she would drive up over the curb and park her car on my sidewalk,several times actually on the grass in my front yard. One day I had finally had enough and I went across the street to speak to my neighbor, the daycare owner,about her client. Even though she was sitting right in her living room where I could see her,she refused to come to the door and sent her relative/employee out instead that lied to my face and told me she "wasn't there." I told her that I would appreciate it if they would tell the client to stop or I would call the cops,however I didn't want it to get that far. The client did stop,however my neighbor has been hateful,rude and nasty to me ever since. Her sons glare at my husband or me everytime they see us and she chidishly rolls her eyes at me or whispers to whomever she is with if I come out of my house or walk by. It's so ridiculous! The only person in her house that doesn't act like a jerk toward us is her husband that usually says hello and seems to be a decent guy. Can you believe all of this started because I didn't want some woman using my front yard as a parking space? I guess if I had said,"sure,come on and abuse my property all you want" there would have been no problem. People are just bizarre.

Everytime I speak with her, she always tells something different about the neighbor. I want to help her and let her know what she can do to have her be at peace and feel secure at her own home. There is no verbal abuse or any physical violence between them. Only confrontation. My friend did tell the female neighbor of how she felt and if she had any conflicts against her that she should know about and that can be solved by communicating their differenced. Neighbor denies her obviouse actions. Where can and to whom can she talk to for help. please respond. She has a 15 year old daughter and the situation is getting a little complicated. Not only that it is a female neigbor but now theirs a male. its getting a little scary because he stands outside and just watches her place. And runs in when my friend comes out of her house.

Mine howver, are worse, they clearly break covenant rules that benefit them, and when they are called on it, they blame everyone else and do not accept responsibility. They physically and verbally assault other particular neighbors, and act completely sweet and kind to others. I think they are bipolar or insane. These people can not be trusted, as they use everyone they come in contact with for their own personal gain. Creepy creepy nasty people. They are convinced they are the alpha dog hip peole who everyone wants to know. YUCK...don't look now because we are all laughing at your shallow debt ridden lives. Good luck keeping up or lifestyle in this economy. I feel sorry for everyone with a bad neighbor.

Light illegal fireworks all year, steal from one another then scream about it, use illegal drugs, siphon gas from cars on street, hang clothes from city power line to property, discard prescription drugs on the street, use black/dirty gutter water to water plants and our planter along the edge of property, allow visitors to sleep in cars or on trampoline in backyard, throw cigarette butts in our planters, scream about shooting police officers in a murder suicide or killing white people or president then claim they are rapping. House is in major disrepair and vermin infested. Several of them are on parole. This has become a city wide destination for vagrants, drunks, and people looking to score drugs. We also suspect prostitution has been taking place. Costa Mesa police dept. says they are aware of drug sales but they don’t sell enough for them to enforce. They also shot our house and cars with a paintball gun. Ran a car repair business from home, Hit our mail box while drunk and parking car. Rent out garage as rental unit. Costa Mesa police and Costa Mesa Code Enforcement seem uninterested in solving these problems. One of the CMCE supervisors told me "we can't all live in a garden state". That might be true but if they did their jobs it sure would make for a nicer community. Any suggestions? Next door neighbors throw used condoms in our backyard.
