Do you have a friendly neighbour?

Well, I have a neighbor who irritates me to the utmost every morning. She has a huge open space just adjacent to my car park wall, where she grows lots of plants and trees. She waters them every morning and in this process sprays water all over my car, instantly after it has been dusted and cleaned. I have warned her repeatedly not to spray water in heights so that it gets sprayed next house, but it has been of no affect, she still keeps doing the same thing again and again. This makes me furious. Do you also have neighbor who irritates you? What would you do if you were in my place?

In my opinion, whether it's your neighbor or not, if you ask anyone to stop doing something that is bothering you, then they should.. it's called being courteous. Obviously she's not so what I would do is get together with some of your other neighbors and ask them if they have had any other problems with her as well. Next ask their advice on what to do too. Good luck

I have a neighbor who loves borrowing. I think she hardly gets provision for her house because she borrows it all from all her neighbor (i'm one of them). Would you belive that hse was asking for a matchstick box to light her stove one day. Another day she called me and asked for sugar, milk and coffee powder. I would have rather made a cup of coffee for her - LOL - But she really pisses me off. In your case, i think better warn you neightbor about your rights to sue her and that she will have to pay you a lumpsum amount fo the harrassment. Try it :)

I should be happy that she does not walk into my house like yours making things more worse for me, even if she had she would have really got good from me.

I have friendly neighbour in my apartment now. But, I have experienced rude neighbours earlier. It will be irritating to have unfriendly neighbour who always does something that will make us angry. I was calm at them and ignored them after a while. As days went, they stopped doing it.

In the past I have had many kinds of neighbours, some of them have become close friends and some of them were very annoying and very noisy. When I was living in an apartment some of my neighbours enjoyed loud music and they especially loved to listen to their favourite music at 4 a.m.! Some of us wrote a complaint to the owner, and it worked, they didn't listen to the warnings and eventually they got kicked out of the apartment. Then someone else moved in and he seemed to love loud music even more than the other tenants, so the complain worked, but the situation got worse instead of better We live in a house now and we only have one neighbour. I don't know her that well, but we have talked a few times, and she seems like a nice person. She looked after our house when we were away on vacation, and we would do the same for her if she needs it or if she needs help in other ways.

i don't like my neighbors, most of them. since we move here my life become disastrous! I don't like the way they talk, they keep on shouting even though they're talking to someone near them(like in the market place or in farm) or sometimes they laugh so loud. Every week end they're music is too loud and can't even here the movie I'm watching. My neighbors also gambling every afternoon, just near to our backyard! i really hate it! It's so hard to have neighbors like this. i wish we can move back to an exclusive village.

Luckily my neighbour is very nice and kind. We both gave a baby this year and we just become familiar with each other after the babies were born . We exchange every details about how to raise a baby and often talk a walk outside with our babies . It's really wonderful. Actually i don't know how to deal with it if i'm in your place . Maybe you invite her to your house and have a good talk about it .

I don't have a neighbor like that, thankfully. You could maybe put up some kind of sheet or wall between your car and where your neighbor's plants are, like some kind of tarp at least.

I'm glad to see this discussion... I have the most annoying neighbors ever! At first it was this woman in her 30's constantly yelling at her husband, hitting her little girl, and hitting cars that went inside the road by her house to make a turn. She even yelled at my mom and me one day and threatened us. I couldn't stand her or her husband, I seriously wanted to move out. Recently she stopped yelling, I thought maybe she went under a special treatment because it was seriously that bad. Now 7 people moved next to my house, and they are loud as well. It really didn't bother me until her dogs started doing their business in my patio (they sneak through my patio door). I haven't talked to her yet, but I will this week because I just can't stand her not cleaning something her dog did. I really can't imagine how well cared for are her dogs really. Since we've moved here we have had so much problems with our neighbors, and we have never experienced this. We have always been friendly to our neighbors and actually met new people and became close friends, but in this neighborhood is completly different. We are now looking for a new house, hopefully in another city.

Really all you can do is ask her not to do it, unless you live in an apartment complex or something then you can complain to the manager. Is it possible to park your car in another spot? One thing you might try to do since it's obvious your neighbor won't respect your wishes, maybe try to clean and dust it after she does her watering that way you can use the spray water to help clean the car and you don't have to worry so much about it. In my opinion though, man it's only water. I think you should try to get along with your neighbor. You have to live next to her, and see her all the time. It can make it quite uncomfortable when we fight and are constantly discontent with our neighbors.. it's not worth it over something so silly as a little bit of water.

Luckily, my neighbor is very friendly and nice. I think that If I were you, I would act and do the same like her. If she felt irrated by that, she would not do like that again.

When I was staying in a rented house a year back, I had a very friendly neighbour. She is a young lady and a down to earth person. She loves to cook food and explain her recipes to me. Once when I fell ill, she cooked food for me and I cannot forget it. She is lovely person. But after I left that place, I lost touch with her. She can talk for hours and I fell tired listening to her many a times. Nice lady!!!

No mine doesn't, however what I suggest to you is to destroy her plants its a temporary fix but it will make you feel better.
