In the papers today there is a story about a man who was in court yesterday because the neighbours' rooster continuously kept him up all night making noise - so he dealt with situation in an extremely frustrated and extremely illegal manner (RIP rooster).
It got us talking about neighbours from hell - and the listeners of The Early Breakfast have had their share of confrontations and hostility with people around them...
Once when I lived in America, my mad neighbour called the cops because I flushed the toilet 3 times while cleaning it – “cleaning” it, mmhmmm, yeah
Our neighbours used to fight in front of our house every second night – literally screaming rows that went on for hours. We had to move in the end (we were renting). It’s made us think about whether we want to buy because we never want to be in a situation like that again where we would have no way out.
Do you ever find yourself looking out your window to make sure your neighbours aren’t outside before taking out the bins? I do. Am I weird? - do you hate them? Then no, you're not weird. Do you like them? That's a bit weird. Do you know them? Not weird - but could be a good way to say hi quickly!
Morning Paula, I have the neighbour from hell. It's all verbal abuse such as 'how was your day son?' & 'would u like some dinner later?'. I’m at my wits end! Andy – monsters!
Our neighbours’ kids are the worst ever – they never stop screaming while they play. Never thought I’d turn into a grumpy aul lad but at 35, I don’t want to listen to screaming kids every evening from dinner time to bed time. Summers are the worst!
Our neighbours had a dog called Boots who barked day and night. Once they asked us to trim back our trees which were growing into part of their garden and we said no problem – we’ll do that once your dog stops barking. The dog still barks and we came home to find our trees hacked down.
Paula my neighbour is just the worst ever, she randomly calls in with homemade jam,cakes, apple tarts etc, her husband cuts my grass without even asking, even today I have a new dryer being delivered, she'll just come down, let them in and probably do the dishes while she waits, and then she'll then lock up. I don't know where we got her. Niall in Tipp (with the BEST neighbours)
