My worst experience with a neigbour happened when I lived in an apartment with my ex. The man who lived downstairs always played really loud music, and sometimes he started at 4 o'clock at night. That was really frustrating, especially when I had to get up early for work. We asked him to turn down the music, but he never listened. Most of the other people who lived there were also frustrated about the situation, and eventually we contacted our landlord, who sent him a warning. When that didn't help, he kicked him out of the apartment. We were happy for a few days... and then a new man moved into his apartment. His music was even louder and the situation only got worse My best experience with a neighbour happened 8 years ago, when I got an apartment in a new town. There were two apartments on the second floor, I lived in one of them and the other apartment belonged a girl who was about my age. We became very close friends and spent almost every day together. Now we have both moved away from that town and I miss her sometimes. We had so much fun together What was your worst experience with a neighbour? And the best experience?

Hi, Porcospino. My worst experience with my neighbor was, the fact that he would hit his ceiling every time he heard any noise coming from our apartment. Even if we were just walking, he would hit his ceiling very loudly. I had to call the cops on him twice for this. He was actually causing us more trouble than what we were causing him. I think that he has moved out of his apartment. I have not heard any aggravation from him since two months ago. I hope that it stays this way too. My best experience that I have had with my neighbor was when he moved out of his apartment. I no longer had to deal with him bothering my family anymore.

I understand why you were happy that he moved out of his apartment. I think that when you live in an apartment you have to accept that there are other people around you, and it is ridiculous to get angry just because people are walking around in their own apartment. In my situation it was the neighbour's really loud music that was the problem, but your situation sound just as bad. I would find it very hard to live with a neighbour like that.

Hi! Im lucky to have good neighbors and i have couple of best experiences having them close to our house. The house where i raised by my parents was so dear to me and one of the main reason was my dear neighbors who always have a time talking to us everyday, giving us home made foods every now and then and check our house when we're not around. When we transferred into another house after i got married, i also have a neighbor who is a teacher that is so good in looking after us. She always have an ear to lend with all my stories and problems, their family look after our house as well when we're away and they also gave us food every now and then. However, i also experienced to have a neighbor who was always jealous of our accomplishments, they always talks about us and make bad stories even if its not true. Im glad we're now away from them... Good night!

I think you are very lucky to have some great neighbours. They sound very kind and helpful, and that is a great thing. We don't have that kind of relationship to our neighbours at the moment. We talk to our neighbour sometimes and she looked after the house when we were away on vacation, but we don't have a close relationship to her and we only talk when we meet outside.

my worst were these twins girls that lived across the street they did what they want whenever they want an one day a boy on the corner walked by an my 10 ear old daughter said hey to him an the twins walk across the street an jumped my daughter an beat her up well my daughter got some licks in also an my other daughter she was 12 also jumped in to help her sister well the fight stop an everyone thought it was over an done with till the girls ran home an they called the cops by the way the twins were 15 the cops came an saw a scratch on one of their faces an arrested both my daughters the police wouldnt look at the marks on my girls like the fist mark on my 10 year old anyway my 10 year old got 6 months on house arrest till the courts could work it out now the best that a neighbor could do was one of those twins went to the state attorney to tell the truth about what really happen an the charges were dropped against my daughter an the girl was kicked out of her house cause her parents were so mad at her for taking it upon herself to tell the truth they thought she of just stayed quiet now they have nothing to do with her they sent her to live with a brother out of state

My worst experience with a neighbor happened a year ago. My husband and I were still renting an apartment during that time. The people who lived upstairs just throw their garbage in front of our apartment. They also have a habit of turning on the light in front of our porch without turning it off after. They don't mind keeping it turned on until afternoon since it's billed on us and not on their electric bill. The best experience started when we moved to our house right now. Our neighbor is a 74 year old lady who treats me and my husband like her children. All her children are living in another country. She only see them at least once a year. She is also very fond of our 9 month old son. She treats him as her grandson. She is good in cooking and whenever she cooks meals she would sometimes bring some in our house or we would eat together. She's like a second parent to us. We're so lucky to have her as a neighbor.

My worst experience with a neigbour happened 5 years ago when my family and I were building our new house our neigbour kept complaining because of the dust and the noise the funny thing is that we have a huge garden and he was always complaining to me ,when I mentioned it to my parents they said that they have not heard any complaints from him .My best experience with a neighbour was when the old couple next door had his 40th marriage anniversary and throw a huge party and invited us .
