My neighbor spent years filling his kid's pool with my outside water hook-up. Forever my wife and I couldnt figure out why our water bill was more than tripled in the summer, even had a plumber come look for a leak. I happened to find them using our water one summer day when I decided to work from home. That was a fun conversation.
Bad Neighbor Stories

Few years ago in the dorms my neighbor had this huge speaker. Would shake the walls. It was great for party's, but really damn annoying on Tuesday night when he had it going at 3am. He didn't care what anyone else thought and wouldn't shut it off. One night he passed out on his floor with the door open. I snipped a couple wires and that was the end of that.
When I lived on Wood St in college we lived next to this family, one that probably came straight from the trailer park. The family who lived there also allowed the daughters boyfriend to live with them. We became decent friends with the boyfriend. After a few months of hanging out/partying and getting to know him things started to get weird.
First off, this guy got into a fight and broke his jaw. He came over with his mouth wired shut and got annoyed of eating liquids so he took wire cutters and cut the wires. Later one weekend my roommates and I all left for a wedding. When we got home the boyfriend left us a note saying he basically broke into our house, took my roommates car keys, used his car to run errands, and on top of that him and his girlfriend ordered a bunch of porn on our TV and had sex on our couch. I went over to confront him and since nothing was broke or anything, we just asked him to reimburse us for all the porn he ordered and gas money. He reimbursed us and we just left it at that because we didn't want any trouble with this psycho neighbor. Time goes by and we notice our electricity bill is higher than normal. Well, turns out this family was running an extension cord from an external outlet on our house to their house and stealing our power. Those bastards. And later here we are having a nice house party. Everything is going well until the boyfriend and dad come over and start talking ****. Dad gets in some kids faces yelling "I'm from Jersey!!!! Don't **** with me, I'm from Jersey!!!" All of us are drunk and couldn't stop laughing. They leave and don't come back. In the meantime, we found out how he broke into our house. He was crawling through one of those narrow basement windows. We set up a board with nails sticking through it beneath the window. So if he crawled through and jumped down again, well... you know. We never saw them again.
A couple years go by and we see the boyfriends picture on the front page of the DM Rag. It was a story about halfway houses. The boyfriend hasn't gone far in life.

I guess I can say I've been pretty fortunate. Since college I haven't had any horror stories.
Freshmen year when I was living in Friley, there were two guys on our floor that didn't associate with the rest of us and were pretty much d-canoes. They were in the process of pledging to a frat or something. My buddy across the hall from me had his door open one day when one of the d-canoes had his dad visiting for some reason. He overheard him talking **** about all of us. That night we all heard about what the d-canoe had said about us. We decided to have a little fun. They had left their dorm room unlocked and no one was there. I took a can of shaving cream, knocked a hole in it and threw it in their room and shut the door. The shaving cream sprayed all over their room. Our CA asked us if anyone knew about the incident, and of course we hadn't seen or heard anything... They were gone within a week.
My senior year I was living in an apartment in West Ames. I was hanging out with one of my roommates (who was a big fella) and someone was in the stairwell kicking on the railing and trying to cause damage in a drunken rage. We opened the door and told him to stop, then went back inside. Then this guy starts pounding on our door. We opened it up and said a few choice words. This time he had a few of his buddies with him. He was trying to start a fight. We told him to cut the crap and went back inside. I'm not the fighting type but my buddy was ready to knock some teeth in. This guy starts punching our door, hard enough that he causes some damage. I told my buddy to keep his cool and that I didn't want to get into a fight where we'd be outnumbered (even though I think he could have taken all of them himself). We called the cops. They showed up and had a chat with these guys. The next day the guy apologized for everything and agreed to pay for all the damage.

You know . . . some of you who don't have stories about bad neighbors to tell . . . you may be the bad neighbors!
No. Not unless you're into that pregnant looking (but not actually pregnant) haven't showered in a week type of look.
When I lived out in California, I had one of the most interesting experiences. While outside smoking a cigarette, a couple of dudes in suits pulled up and proceeded upstairs. Real tough looking mother ****ers. I caught wind of some of their conversation and apparently some bad cat named Wallace threw another man off a four story balcony for giving his wife a foot massage. Anyways, they entered my neighbor's apartment. His name was Brett. A couple of other people lived there also, but I can't remember their names. These cats had strange hours, and a few days prior to this incident i saw them carrying a black briefcase into the apartment along with their Big Kahuna burgers. Thought nothing of it at the time. Because: It's a ******* briefcase, right? Who gives a ****. Well, it must have been important. I go back into my place and all sorts of ruckus is going on next door. Then BAM! A pile of gunshots. Not one to call the police, because in L.A. that **** will get you killed, I quietly just locked my door. I can hear a conversation going on next door, and then one of the suit wearing cats starts yelling out some furious bible verse, followed by a **** ton of gunshots. Holy ******* ****! After a slight pause, I heard even louder gunshots, like some sneak had a hand cannon on him. After another pause, another volley of gunfire. I was able to peak out the window during the aftermath and saw the two dudes in suits walking away with the briefcase and Marvin, a guy who visited Brett quite regularly. Nice dude. Hope he didn't get his face shot off or something.

I can't believe the balls on some of these people to do these things. Must have a very different mindset than myself and honestly not think about what they are actually doing. A lot of stories of neighbors trying to mooch on your utilities/land.
Wow, some really bad stories of neighbors here. I don't know how I'd react if I had to deal with some of them - more than likely I would be writing this from prison.
We live on a corner lot, and our neighbors are somewhat separated due to our large lot. But both that touch our property line are very good neighbors and friends.

Before these D canoes came in, we lived by all elderly people so it was nice and quiet. They didn't mind our young kids and our kids were respectful. So they kinda had free reign over the area. These guys came in because they think there is something uppity about our area, there isn't anything special here just a newer development area, and bought the only house they could afford.
Had a similar issue with speakers in the dorm. It's crazy what people get away with.
There are multiple houses in our neighborhood (couple blocks away) that still have their Christmas lights up and they're on every time we drive by.
