Not So Neighborly Texts with a Twist

We all have that neighbor that may or may not keep us up at night. From loud music to stealing our paper we have all experienced the neighbor that gets under our skin in the worst possible way. Here are some of the most annoying neighbor moments that’ll make you laugh and cringe at the same time.

We are all for being neighborly, but giving your neighbor’s details for your package delivery before asking is a little too extra for comfort. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen because things are about to get spicy.

As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, you might as well join in, but you should at least know your audience. This neighbor was not having any of this disruption. The name saved on this phone, says it all. Looks like these neighbors aren’t the sharpest bunch, throwing in some alcohol probably just made matters worse.

Using someone else’s internet is stealing all the same. This neighbor is walking a fine line between dead and alive. At least one neighbor might be dead meat after this not-so-casual text exchange. We’ll let you guess which one.

This neighborly exchange didn’t exactly end in a fight but there is some serious shaming happening here. Not the most ideal situation to be in with a neighbor, not to mention one of the most awkward.

Relief could not be farther than what this neighbor got from his counterparts across the hall. What would you do if it was you? We get the precedence, but there may have been an alternative way to handle this situation. At least this neighbor was met with some understanding although it didn’t get them very far.

This neighbor may have sung their last song, so we hope it was worth it. We all have a favorite song that we can’t get enough of, but this neighbor might be pushing it. It surely pushed their neighbor up a wall. These innocent neighbors subjected to someone else’s one-song playlist are probably wishing they paid a bit more attention to their neighbors before they signed their lease.

That unspoken word that children are off limits was crossed here. This neighbor had a surprisingly mellow response than more people, but it could just be the calm before the storm. We all love a little salsa before bed but not at 1:35 am, not to be confused with some salsa and chips.

You’re sure to make friends when you share caffeine but not when you steal someone else’s latte, especially if it’s this early in the morning. The only way to somewhat salvage this neighbor-ship is if some bucks are returned to the owner. It’s safe they will accept several forms of payment, cash, Venmo, or Starbucks points.

Rob in 5F you are the sneakiest of burglars. Honesty is usually welcomed and what we would want in all of our neighbors but this crosses about 50 boundaries and perhaps some laws in the process. This is too honest for comfort.

Getting proposed to is quite a milestone, and many people dream about this day, but sometimes when your neighbors get too involved in your personal life it can backfire. We think this neighbor may be putting her head down in the hallway after accidentally throwing salt in a wound.

If you’re an animal lover, chances are high that you’ve adopted at least one stray cat in your lifetime, but have you ever accidentally “adopted” your neighbor’s cat? This may not be the neighbor’s fault entirely since cats are notorious for trying to get as much food as they can. Although this neighbor should have known better.

Perhaps one of the worst things you can do as a neighbor is block someone’s car. Oh how the tables have turned, when you’re in a hurry and you’re stuck this can be one of the most annoying instances, not to mention you’ll feel the most helpless.

Dave from next door has his work cut out for him as his neighbor blackmails him with McMuffin runs. You may not be loving it as much after this. Sometimes you just can’t help but crave a McMuffin in the morning and you can’t bring yourself to go alone. With a neighbor like Dave, you won’t have to.

We all hope that our neighbors are clean and organized, having such neighbors is the dream, but this might be overkill. If your neighbor is a morning person like this one then you may be wishing they were a little lazier and a little messier so you could sleep in at least once.

Making new friends is always nice but not when you just happen to find them in your car. This neighbor did the most unneighborly thing to his neighbor by letting a stray homeless make a home in their neighbor’s car. The kindness of strangers is one thing but this gives the kindness of others a whole new meaning.

This neighbor encounter brings up so many questions, how did this neighbor mistake Steve for Todd and Todd for Ashley? If there is a neighbor group chat this neighbor definitely isn’t in it. Also who the heck casually has a chainsaw in their home let alone is using it at 7:00a.m?

Ideally, we all try to be good neighbors. This neighbor even went above and beyond by letting her neighbor Karyn borrow her coat. This could have been the start of great neighbor relations but not only did Karyn “lose” her coat but she lied about it.

We don’t know what’s worse, blaming your neighbor for the raccoon in the yard or mistaking a raccoon for a cat. This neighbor may need to get more than their eyes checked after this interaction.

Poor Ryan, but this is just plain awkward. Talk about being unintentionally too involved in someone’s breakup. We bet both Ryan and this neighbor wished there were earplugs in the lobby instead of the occasional candy dish.

You never know who’s Uber you’re about to get into and you can meet some interesting people, but what if you got into the Uber and it was your neighbor? Talk about not going out of your way, you’re literally both going home.

The claws have come out, not of the cat’s. This neighbor was not messing around when he said, “Don’t bother me again.” The level of directness burns our ears and it wasn’t even directed towards us. Sometimes trying to do something too nice can backfire and you just get stuck with a stray cat and an angry neighbor.

If you’ve named your neighbor “Devil Woman” in your phone that’s probably the ultimate sign that you’ve reached a whole new level with your neighbor. Understandably not the level you want to be with anyone, it’s far from a first-name basis.

This neighbor was trying to do something nice and create a good relationship with his neighbors but it turns out he just got tricked. Things were not the same after this.

It’s always a risk to get involved with your neighbors especially when they are already in relationships, not to mention that it is highly unethical. Phones lying around unattended did not come in favor of both these neighbors. Someone might have to move after this.

This parent holds no shame, nothing is more important than Ellen, including her son. This neighbor tried to do everything the right way by texting her neighbor first before confronting her son, but this neighbor could not care less.

Whatever you do, don’t let trash be the reason you get on your neighbor’s bad side. This altercation could have been avoided with some simple etiquette and ground rules beforehand. We aren’t sure these two can recover.

Talking about a friendly neighbor’s innocent hello in the halls turned awkward. I guess not everyone is built for some morning neighborly chit-chat but if you’re going to confront your neighbor about it, doing it over text may not be the best way to do it.

Loud neighbors are the worst. No one wants to hear their neighbors crashing and moving around in the early hours of the morning, especially when you’re still trying to sleep. You know what’s worse though? Vacuming at 1:40A.M. Passive aggressive texts may not be the best way to handle the situation but who can be mature at this hour?

The 4th of July is a day to celebrate Independence for America, not so much independence from your neighbors. It looks like this neighbor didn’t get the memo. A good 4th of July party would not be complete with barbeque, pool time, and some loved ones but this neighbor in a biker crew had other ideas.

When you’re renting an apartment a lot of owners don’t allow pets, but if you’re lucky enough to hit the jackpot, your apartment is animal-friendly. Your typical neighbors might have a dog, a cat, or even the occasional rabbit, but these neighbors went an unconventional route. If you can, you might as well milk every perk, right?

Being a good neighbor is no easy task, you need to make sure no strangers are claiming their packages as their own or stealing things off their porch. Sometimes the best neighborly thing to do is to take their packages and keep them in a safe place for when they return.

Perhaps showing an apartment while the current tenants aren’t home in it in itself isn’t the best idea, it all depends on your definition of privacy. Living next door to your landlord isn’t all fun and games because if you damage something or don’t maintain it you can’t hide it for long. That’s exactly what happened here.

One of the most recurring issues of living in an older apartment is that the buzzer doesn’t always work. As time goes on there may be a different designated buzzer apartment that gets all the visitors forwarded to him, becoming the buzzer for all. We’ve all had to see with being on both ends of the stick.
