My neighbor put in a log burner. The flue oversails into my back garden which then fills with smoke when it's on.

I'm going to stuff a wet rag into the top of it so they all die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

There has to be a legal course you can take with that as that can't be right.

I received a package in the mail a few weeks back and proceeded to open it up,it was a packet of testosterone pills. I looked at the label on the parcel and it had my address but a strangers name on it. I found out a couple of days later that it was this guy that lived in the same street as me,but nowhere near me.

It was quite embarrassing knocking on his door to give him his opened parcel of testosterone tablets.

Bit strawberry floating weird though.

We've told him we're not happy and he's going to move it so it goes straight through the roof instead. Probably won't stop the smoke but might help; he has a right to warm his house tbf. I'm going to wait for him to move it and then screen it off with some tall trees. Bit of a faff I could do without.

He won't want it to go legal because if it's ruled in our favour his property will get hit with a notice and he'll never sell in the future.

Your right not to be assailed by toxins comes before his right to warm his house.

You're doing the right thing, keeping it friendly, but don't put up with it if he doesn't fix it adequately. Laws around chimneys are very strict.

I live in a semidetached and my neighbours are a lovely family with young children.
The only contact we have with them are the occasional nod to each other on the way out but we keep parcels for each other if we're not in and they aren't noisy at all.

Pretty much the perfect neighbours .

My immediate neighbours are lovely people. My neighbours below are complete ass-hats. Well, that's not completely true as it is the bloke that is the problem; the woman and kids are not too bad. Shouting, swearing, fighting, loud music, loud TV, drinking and using other substances is his game.

To be fair, it has been better in recent months as they have a new baby and he has calmed down a little. I'm talking relatively, of course; it used to be party music until 2am but yesterday he "only" spent two-and-a-half hours shouting (singing?) along to his loud music during the day.

Right now he's blasting out the TV and shouting; I can hear it throughout my flat.

Through the roof should sort it as the smoke will be higher so all good, but yeah isn't cool for him to smoke your garden at all.

My left side neighbour is serial killer quiet. She hasn't said hello to me yet. I've lived here a year.

The other side seem nice enough. They have a lot of pets. I usually come home and there's like 3 cats waiting for me. I don't really mind cats, so it's okay. The buggers try and get into my house though.

My next door but one neighbour has been pissing me off lately.

I live on a row of houses where we have a semi-circle shared driveway infront of our houses that joins the road at both ends, then our private driveways beside our houses coming off the shared driveway. The next door but one neighbour is a DPD driver so they have their own car and the DPD van at the house. Over the winter he's had one of the massive DPD vans rather than one of the smaller ones, so took to parking the huge van on the shared driveway infront of his house, essentially blocking the shared drive. However it's still possible to get around the van by driving across a council owned bit of grass infront of his part of the shared drive, but due to the winter weather this means that the bit of grass that myself and others are using to go around is turning into a mud track. So what the neighbour decided to do was get a bunch of football sized rocks and put them on the grass to stop people going around his massive van. Yes it would be possible to go off the shared driveway the other direction but,
1) This is a more awkward manoeuvre
2) Sometimes the neighbour on the other side of me will park infront of their house which partially blocks the shared driveway that way, though this is only a very occasional thing when they have visitors so doesn't really annoy me as much.
My response to this was to just start chucking the rocks out of the way into the plants, but the neighbour kept going and putting them back (Though his shoes would've gotten insanely muddy in the process which did make me a little bit happy).

Fortunately I suspect the neighbours on the other side of him have told him to cut it the strawberry float out since he was making it difficult for them to get in and out, and now the van gets parked on the private driveway and the car gets parked only partly on the shared driveway and partly across their own private drive instead (blocking in the van) so there's more than enough room to get around.

However I suspect the van driving prick has been purposefully understeering when coming onto the shared driveway as recently there's been a few tire tracks coming off the shared driveway and onto my front garden

Send your mum round to have a word with him.

Our last neighbour had a well good cat, it was one of those big thick fur grey ones with a brown nose, it was basically tottoro. Then they kindly replaced the rotting trellace and blocked up a gap and we never saw him again

I'm amazed my neighbours didn't complain more as I got a CNC mill but we had this stupid thing with the nosy neighbour once where I played classical guitar outside and they blasted out Mumford and Sons at full pelt after flinging the doors open to make a point. Called the community support but they just denied it. Had a proper word eventually and it went away.

But I never played classical guitar in the sun which I have a reasonable right to do. And I'm really good, no gooseberry fool.

With a basement now I don't think there's going to be any problems.

We have a bus stop right outside our door so that's a new sort of neighbor.

I have a semi-detached house and have the fortune to now live in a generally pleasant neighbourhood and have done for the last 13 years. Our neighbours directly to our left are very friendly. We always have a chat and share phone numbers when either of us are away for any length of time, (holidays and the like), in case of emergencies or whatever.

Neighbours to the right are a new couple, but I'm guessing they work nights as we never see them. Or they just aren't the mingling type. They never seem to be around any way.

The only bother I've had was several years ago when we came home from my parents one evening to discover our alarms going off. They'd been going off all day so I appreciate that it must have gotten quite annoying (alarms now fixed of course). Anyway, I got a rather loud knock on the door from some guy down the road who was quite clearly drunk and was complaining that our alarm had 'ruined his barbecue'. I apologised and assured him that it wouldn't happen again, but as he was drunk that wasn't enough and so he decided to try being aggressive. Bad strawberry floating move. Frightened my wife and children, so I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and marched him off of my drive way while batting away his feeble attempts to swing punches. Told him if he ever bothers me again, banging on my door pissed up and frightening my kids, I'd break a few of his bones with relative ease. Prick was lucky only his pride was hurt. Anyway, never heard from him again. Guess he took me seriously. (That said I've not seen him about since, so can only guess he was a guest at another neighbours, which if true then they should have stopped him knowing he was pissed up).

I’ve had my share of nightmare neighbours, living in flats and a four-in-a-block in the past. I live in a nice detached house now, and it’s absolute bliss. Been here for about 10 years, but I still thank my lucky stars I don’t have to deal with loud neighbours.

Saying that, the people next door are moving soon, and we’ll probably get pikeys with a drum kit moving in!

My neighbour is in the midst of a singing / shouting / wailing episode. Just kinda singing a bit and then making odd noises. Loudly. Honestly, his young kids act more grown-up then he does. I reckon he's in his late 20s or early 30s but he acts about 15.

It’s Wrathy. Keep stealing her parking, it’s proper winding her up. That’ll teach her for being ignorant.

Wood Burners are bloody awful, their huge chimneys have been popping up all around my estate, and the fumes from them are diabolical.

I live in a semi detached house.

When I moved in my unattached neighbour was areal really fit young lady who sunbathed topless in here garden for the first two summers. Gorgeous. She would also walk from her bathroom to bedroom naked past the often open landing window. I had the perfect view from my kitchen window when I very regularly emptied my dishwasher. However Karma lesson 1 she sold up and moved to be replaced by a much older couple. Needless to say I don't use the dishwasher as much as I used to.

My neighbour across the road was also an highly attractive young lady who would shower with the blinds up on the bathroom window. The window was not very obscure. Shower was next to the window. However it was Russian roulette has her husband and kids would also not use the blind. Then she would walk into the front bedroom window and occasionally get dressed without pulling the curtains. Needless to say I would empty the bins out the front a lot. Karma lesson 2 they then moved out and the house was turned into a care home for adults with down syndrome. You guessed it they shower without using the blind.

My neighbours I'm joined too however have in the past been awful. They were fine until she got a new boyfriend. Loud music, loud TV, summer parties in the garden and they started having really loud domestics. He would also shout a lot when he was at home on his own. Eventually though he moved out after the police attended one argument. Since then she's been far better. I can rarely her the TV or any noise.

That sounds like a banana split who deserves a glitter bomb.
