Oh....well we're friends with all the neighbours around us.

Good?

NO!

WHY?

They're all fighting with each other and we refuse to take sides and/or participate in the current madness.

Issues with our neighborhood at present revolve around DA's....some even over dog noise....others over retaining walls/fences. Today's big drama was over freaking storm water pipes!

Why can't we all just get along????

I agree!

Could be worse,

I had a mate years ago who lived next door to this Croation that threatened to kill him after some stupid argument!

Ah....we have the privilege of tolerating an insane Serbian who thinks Slobodan Milošević was a great guy.

Incidentally...he takes to knives etc at around midnight and a ladder to cut into anything green that's growing anywhere near his fence ON ADJOINING PROPERTIES. He climbs over fence lines to make sure he slashes into trees/bushes etc up to a metre inside his neighbour's yards.

The wife of this idiot is only ever seen by us neighbours once/twice a year.

And she never speaks to anyone.

And a few doors up we have our wonderful Arab drug lord and his German Shepherd wolves who bark non bloody stop. Esp at night!

We're too scared to get involved with him.

But the neighbours on either side of him have complained about the barking to the police, local council and the rest of the neighbourhood.

That neighbour dispute is a worry.

Why?

1. The guy apparently keeps a lot of cash etc on site

AND SO

2. Those savage guard dogs are trained to injure/kill "intruders".

One adjoining neighbour has 3 kids under 6.

They're too scared to play in their own back yard on account of the vicious and threatening growling and the dogs leaping up against the 1.8 metre fence.

So as good neighbours....we keep hearing about all this and why we should join in and complain to various authorities.

Awesome stuff hey! 

I seem to have been very lucky in the way of neighbours..god the thought of having anyone that makes life miserable for others  live next door sends shudders through me....and look at those people who collect rubbish...omg......

Yep....I reckon you are lucky Cods.

I keep reminding my neighbours about how privileged we are to live in a great and safe area of Sydney...yadda yadda yadda. I may as well be talking to those vicious German Shepherds.

And the thing that gets me most about all this? Just how miserable my neighbours are. Nobody is happy here.

They're probably ALL on anti depressants I reckon.

(I know of 3 neighbours...they corner me from time to time when I'm trying to do some gardening and so they vent re how troubled they are. They see psychiatrists and take meds because they're not coping with serious issues like who they can trust to leave their assets to etc etc).

I'm so over it. It all got to me today. So I told them off!

I really did.

I wonder what this now means for us lol.

you poor thing....they will probably avoid you and think you will miss them...lololol...
I have a funny old duck opposite my place but from the back.. my front is in one street the back in another...I had only moved in by about 2 days when I get a note in the letterbox about my little dog who was old and going blind  and didnt know what the hell was going on..anyway while AI am out he would bark at shadows or people going by as he wasnt used to it....anyway note said something along the lines   do you know you dog barks for hours  no of course you dont you are out arent you?.. no address or anthing...a couple of days leter we are all out the back bringing things in and over she comes...and before she could open her mouth I said  look hes very old  and hes going blind...I can only do my best.. I might add she had a thick accent...
my poor little dog died not long after  but since then she has been over to complain about my cat which she claims howls outside her window.. so hard to believe..
I was telling my new neighbour who started moving in about 4 weeks ago..she has been fixing the place up to suit her needs  and she told me they had already had a visit from her.. when her dad whos doing the work  was putting pavers in the back of his ute  and she came over to complain about the noise....I can only guess she hasnt got anything else to think about....I think it could get worse too   as her son lives with her and he told us he is moving to the country  but she isnt going with him....
