All but one we get on very well with, put each other's bins back after they've been done on bin day, get things for them when we nip to the shops (they're mostly retired and some alone) and always stop to have a chat.
Then there is our adjoining neighbours. The previous ones we got on with just fine, they had kids about the same age as ours and were nice people. These new ones... Well, we're moving house despite being happy here otherwise for almost two decades and being within reach of paying off the mortgage.
They treat the place like a butlins holiday cottage on a lads weekend. Drink and smoke constantly, diy at half eleven at night, and parties until the early house followed by arguments and screaming at each other. She's the worst though, voice like she's gargling diahorrea and only has one volume. Can't close a door without slamming it if her life depended on it, and at weekends you can hear the drunken slurring starting from mid morning. Because they drink so much they're up throughout the night pissing too. And they both in their late 40s or early 50s, behaving like they're on a club 18-30.
One of the neighbours must have reported them for breaking lockdown rules back earlier in the year, which to be fair they absolutely were and didn't hide it, but on a street of mostly over 75s who've either been isolating for a year or actually lost someone to covid-19, was a bit of a thoughtless thing to do. Anyway, they blamed us as we're nearest, called us everything through the walls, woke our kids up with abuse and threats and so on. My little ones were unwilling to leave the house for two days, and when it came to school, ran to the car scared stuff. Funnily enough the twats won't even make eye contact with me, I'm a biggish lad and will defend my family to the end.
They still act like pricks. They leave the dog for days and then when they do get back home kick the poor thing out at night to crap in someone else's garden. When they're not in the dog barks constantly, which I don't mind noise wise but it's a shameful way to treat a pet as they are literally gone for days at a time, heading back for Friday when the drinking, partying and arguing starts all over again. When they do go out the sometimes leave music on for hours maybe forgetful but I think more likely just to wind us up.
Their latest trick is putting their sun loungers to face my 4 year olds bedroom window and just stare in whilst drinking Stella and smoking their weed, pointing west in a south facing garden. My missus has had to stop me acting on that one, putting it down to their mindless idiocy, but he's certainly now on the Jimmy Saville radar in my book.
Thing is,if we did mention it, it could hamper our house move. So let them get on with it and we'll just put some distance between us.
Such a shame though, it's a really lovely street and area and one household is affecting so many. Once we're all moved, if it's still a problem, there might be something to be done of the other neighbours still feel it is a problem.
