More about Neighbors from Hell:
‘Neighbors from Hell’, starring Patton Oswalt, Will Sasso, Molly Shannon and more premiers June 7th on TBS. When Satan learns that Petromundo, a huge global conglomerate, has created a super-drill that could potentially burrow to the center of the earth and expose Hell, he sends one of demons to eliminate the problem. The demon is Balthazor, a good-natured, low-level torturer who has amassed an encyclopedic knowledge of the human condition thanks to his love of classic TV sitcoms.
Balathazor and his family head to earth with one mission: to blend in with the humans and figure out how to destroy the drill, thus protecting Hell. More accustomed to life in the nether regions, the Hellmans try to follow the rule of SNORFIN–”seem normal and fit in”–but they quickly learn that humans can be more evil than any demon ever could.
Soon, the Hellmans discover that their demonic natures are no match for the twisted ways of their earthly counterparts…

My neighbor from hell………where do i start ???
He has called the police on us because my husband and i were having a beer on our front porch….he called code enforcement on us because we replaced our windows without a permit–thing is we didn’t replace any windows, we washed our screens…….he called the dog officer because our vicious pit bulls were terrorizing him–we don’t have pits and all our dogs did was bark at him….the guy is a flake….he even called the police on county workers because they parked in front of his house….he doesn’t have any friends, but certainly too much time on his hands….crazy old coot !!!
At our first house, our neighbor used to let her 2 dogs poo on our front lawn while she watched. And she would have the never to complain that my dog barked at her 2!!!

I had a neighbor that had 5 foster kids that loved to tattle on my kids, everyday all day long about any silly thing. Drove me crazy. (Knock knock so and so was picking his nose or knock knock so and so was calling me a poopy head. Blaa blaa blaa)
I thought my neighbor was dealing drugs but it turns out she was turning tricks.
When Living Lo vita loco come out my neighbors played it over and over all day all night!
my neighbours from hell mow their lawn saturday or sunday morning in the wee hours. Sleeping here impossible
I have a condo and luckily, my neighbors are great, however, two buildings over is a bunch of rentals that are occupied by some very obnoxious college kids. Since the older folks don’t tolerate it much, the police spend alot of time here on the weekends!
Oh man! We are renters, and we have theee worst neighbors.
Kids outside at all times of the night, screaming, playing, right outside our window. Drug dealers to the right of us.
The people to the left are alcoholics and the police are always here.
Now, I am shocked. This place is pretty spendy, and although more money doesn’t equal safe living, I guess I’m shocked at the chaos here. Get me out!!! (Next Week =)
SORRY – I pushed that SUBMIT button way too premature.
my apologies.

Let’s see… we had the neighbors who stole our paper EVERY day. We had the neighbor kid who stole my kids toys out of the yard and destroyed them. We had the neighbor who would leave for hours with her kid locked out of the house. “Mom said you would babysit me.” Uh…no.
Awesome blog and thanks for the giveaway!
Would love, love, LOVE to win this!

Well, I have the meth lab and dealer a few doors down with a very loud motorcycle and my next door neighbor has 4 dogs that bark at anything that moves.
I have never had a neighboor from hell.
We have drug dealers on one side of us. A white trash family that shot a bottle rocket right past my head and we’re pretty sure they stabbed another neighbor’s kitten (hubby called the cops, but the mom’s friends with the cops, so they never do anything). Some former neighbors used to yell and cuss at their little kid. Yeah, we definitely have neighbors from hell.
Not only do I live below Riverdance performers (at least that what it sounds like), the guys next door party EVERY SINGLE night. And the party doesn’t get started till about 3am. I haven’t slept well in months.
I have a neighbor who told me all kinds of reasons I could not grow plants, and when they grow she either, clorox’s, pine sol’s, or bug sprays them. I have given up and put artifical plants about so I have something green, and wonder and wait on how she will try to destroy them.
I can’t beat drug dealing neighbors, thank goodness. Our biggest problem was a howling dog that howled every time it heard a siren (and we lived 4 blocks from the firehouse).
And here’s my tweet.

I live next to someone whose house looks like the botanical garden threw up. She has everything in the world growing in her yard and it looks awful. She also keeps bees in town, so I have like 100,000 bees next to me at all times. I am afraid to make noises so I wont get attacked! oh did I mention she was old and likes to do yard work in her bathing suit?
Noisy & Loud, unbelievable with loud bass car music, loud tools and reving the car engines, and buggys they ride that also disturb the peace, so much noise it’s sickening to say the least
I am convinced that our neighbors – who by the way have only been renting for the past 15 years – are direct descendants of the Klopeks… the next door neighbors from the movie, ‘The ‘Burbs.’
I have the pleasure of living to a couple in their 40′s who have no kids…lol sounds peaceful enough but they are horrid! My son taught himself how to play piano and is downright amazing. The neighbor lady stands and stares at him and gives him dirty looks when he plays…seriously? You’d think he was playing hard core rock music the way she stares at him but he plays classical.
The latest dealing with them came in the form of a 10 page letter and attached legal codes. I ran up to the store to get some milk and apparently my little dog barked at her through the window. She claims it violates noise ordinances. Seriously? She couldn’t come and just talk to me if she had a problem. Some people are so difficult and I live next to one of them! Ugh!
i’ve had a lot of neighbors from hell. most recently the neighbors would party all hours and they would leave all their garbage outside their front door. they attracted bugs and were just plain dirty.
We lived next to aging Ken and Barbie for several years, and they were clearly used to being ‘taken care of’. They were nice enough at first, but remarkably self involved. He was a screamer, and woke us every saturday morning yelling at his boys in what he considered ‘quality time’. Old 70′s rock (which I enjoy much of the time) at full blast from his car stereo while they were outside (probably one reason he was yelling). They didn’t hesitate to ring the bell at 9 at night because a branch of our tree was interfering with their satellite signal and would we come trim the trees ‘now’, or just because they saw the light on. She spied on the neighbor on the other side of her house and reported all his comings and goings with his ex-wife. One Christmas, my husband (who has MS) was not feeling well and my daughter and I were scheduled for Christmas shopping. We asked if our grandson could stay over with her boys to play, as my husband was ill. ‘Sure thing’, she said. We came home to all three boys climbing on my husband. It seemed they got bored and opted to come back to our house and she didn’t see where there was a problem. And he didn’t have the heart (although he developed the skill) to tell the boys they couldn’t stay and play. When we finally put our house on the market to move closer to my job, they put their house on the market that week. Why stay if we’re moving?, they said. They then proceeded to sabotage attempts to sell the house, (intercepting potential buyers, trashing their place during weekends we scheduled open houses, and giving misleading information to folks, telling some the house was already sold but the sign hadn’t been updated, …. We put the house up for rent, as we were running out of savings covering both mortgages. They called us frequently to complain that the neighbor’s puppy was on our back deck (so? they lived there!) and harrassing the tenants who finally moved after a year. We ultimately lost the house, after covering both mortgages for over a year. And it was a fabulous updated brick house in a great neighborhood selling for 30k less than it was worth. After we foreclosed, they decided they wouldn’t move after all. Jerks! What a nice way to get that off my chest! Thanks for giving me a shot at the grill!!
I have a neighbor that wears minimal amounts of clothing..and he is no spring chicken. He gets his mail and newspaper in a loosely knotted robe and he mows and waters his lawn in a speedo. No bueno.

Maybe not from hell but I live next door to a family with 3 babies… feels like hell when they start screaming in the middle of the night
I had an 80 year old lady from Germany who complained and yelled at everybody. She is originally from Germany and oh my God, she kept telling people how she doesn’t understand why Hitler was that hated. According to her he wasn’t that bad. Ugh.
I had a neighbor from hell, but she decided to move to Florida. I live in a retirement park and there was definitely something wrong with this lady. She use to walk around the park all the time in her nightgown during the day and night and she played music so loud the whole park could hear it and she had a dog that she would leave tied up outside all day, that barked constantly. One day she decided to give everything she had away, including her car and just packed her bags, said she was moving to Florida and her son came and got her and she left.
We are lucky to have great neighbors right now but when we moved into our first place it was a duplex. The neighbor’s husband smelled so bad that you could actually smell him step outside through our open window. They had two teenage girls who where always blaring there music through the wall and fighting. The worst part was when they asked us to come over for a birthday party. It was our first time in their side and the last. I’ll never forget the sound of roaches crunching under my feet as a climbed their stairs and the site of them running all over their walls. We left in under 5 minutes and had moved out by the end of the month.

We had neighbors that were burning brush when I was little and ended up starting their whole yard on fire. I had to call 911…they literally sent us all to hell. Lol
I liked you on Facebook. SalanderServant
I also subscribed to your RSS feed. Thanks!
I had an upstairs neighbor who would always come home in her high heels at 2 in the morning and walk back and forth, back and forth around her apartment. Take your shoes off!!!!
We had neighbors who fought. I worked nights. When I would go to sleep I would be awakened by bodies hitting our wall and shouting. They finally were put out.
years ago i had a neighbor who had to be mentally ill. when she sat on her chair in the backyard, she would accuse her 80 year old back neighbor (female) when working in the garden, of looking up her dress. She had her daughters call me and other neighbors and threaten our lives. Finally the police were called and she was hauled off in handcuffs. The weirdest part is while she was being interrogated by the police, the husband left the house to go buy a paper!
I had a neighbor who was stripping for her boyfriend lit by the headlights of her car outside. I’m not even kidding.
Thanks for the giveaway…I had a neighbor from hell when I was in college, living in an off campus apartment: we referred to the neighbor, a man in his mid 40′s, as Mr. Sunday because he would only come out on Sunday to buy groceries, mostly fish. He would cook smelly fish every day of the week, and living there was a malodorous living hell !!!

How about the neighborhood from Hell ? 12 years of putting up with a mental lady next door who trained her children from a young age to hate us…even training her 6 year old to come over on the 4th of July and throw fireworks in my flowerbeds. How do I know ? I was out watching the firerworks, so heard the kid running home yelling ‘ I did it mommy I did it, I put it in her flowers !’…5 houses of drinking, partying people who think it’s ‘part of growing up’ that their kids throw garbage in people’s yards and run around cursing and shooting birds at us. Police out here over 100 times in the past 5 years. Neighbors who think it’s ok to sit in their driveways and rev turbo engine cars all night long, and when you talk to the parents about all of this ? THEY start harassing you..so you can’t approach anything like a normal human being…I tried to stop skateboarders from coming up into my yard and throwing trash around, and I got my yard rolled, my mailbox blown up, and the THREE housefulls of children AND their parents partying on the 4th to sit and shoot fireworks at my house ! Oh and this is only the beginning…I could curl your toes with the rest of it. How about older teenagers who drink WITH their parents and catch their front yard on fire while blowing up spray paint cans at 1 a.m. ? How about parents that get drunk and race their kids side by side around your neighborhood in two different cars ? How about a house where the parents will leave the house so their 18 year old son can have sex with his girlfriend without being bothered ? How about a neighbor who..when you tell her their cat is getting into your garden and dragging dead bunnies into your yard, instead of controlling that cat, they go get 3 more cats ! I could seriously write a book.
