My sister and brother in-law bought the house next to my mum. Then I had to buy my parents house to keep a roof over my mum's head (long story). So now I have my sister and brother-in-law, plus my 18 year old nephew who is okay in small doses but a bit of a bolshy teenage chav.
See far too much of them and it's a pain in the arse. Unfortunately can't move at the moment.
HAd problems with some of the neighbours in the past, it's a small cul-de-sac. They used to let their kids play football in it, no respect for anyone else's property. Kicking balls against cars, running in and out of gardens. That soon fucking stopped when I moved in.
Amazing how parents start considering the actions of their kids when you tell them that if their kids kick their ball against your car or windows again, you're going to smack the parents.
One incident after that, some of the worst culprits parents went out. Was watching a Man City Chelsea game on the telly on a Sunday afternoon. Heard a couple of noises. Went out and the little shits had thrown eggs at my car and windows at the front of the house.
They weren't laughing so much when their parents came home and I made their parents help them wash the car and windows.
For the most part, prefer to keep myself to myself where neighbours are concerned though.
