A resident has been told they should move out of their home by their neighbour who called the police on them.
The “ridiculously small” reason for the call to emergency services has left the homeowner dumbfounded, as other residents on the street tell them not to worry about the seething person next door.
An anonymous post from the resident has shed a light on what happened between them and their next door neighbour, with a seemingly small problem blowing up into a massive issue. Members of the public were struggling to see the problem the resident has put out too, with many suggesting their neighbour from hell is nothing more than a busybody.
They wrote: “I was told to move because I didn’t introduce myself. I bought a house and never went around to officially introduce myself.
“I eventually started meeting some neighbors from being outside while doing yard work. I consider myself polite, quiet, I don’t have crazy parties (or parties at all), people aren’t coming and going all hours of the night, and I mind my own business.”
Despite the lack of introduction to those living on the same street, the resident says they got on well with those they met. One person who took issue, though, is their next door neighbour.
They explained: “About a year living in my home, a neighbour from across the street (I’d met her husband but never her), marches over and knocks on my door. At first, I didn’t know who she was so decided not to answer.
“She eventually yells through the door and asks why I won’t come to talk to her. I turn my doorbell camera on and say hello, I’m not able to come to the door, but asked what I could do for her. She goes into a tirade of how she’s never met me, she never sees lights on in my house, and she’s concerned that it sits empty most days.
“I’m fairly shocked by this given I’ve NEVER met her nor seen her before and I do, in fact, live in the house I purchased. And I actually live in it every day. I ask which house she is from and that sets her over the edge. She yells about being my neighbor and how rude it is that I never introduced myself to her.”
They added: “The next day I decided to try and smooth things over. She was passive aggressive but thanked me for coming over and stated that’s all she really wanted. And I’ve never seen her in-person again.”
The problems don’t stop there though, as the furious neighbour had been placing phonecalls to the police about the resident.
They explained: “I have experienced her calls to the police claiming things like I egged her house (when no eggs were found on the house), I stole some kind of light fixture from their front yard, and a personal favorite, I threw a party so loud it woke her up in the middle of the night.
“All things I absolutely did not do. Eventually the police told her she will get fined if she keeps wasting their time. I don’t plan on moving any time soon, but neigbhours from hell are truly the worst and I don’t enjoy my yard nor my deck anymore. Hopefully when I find the motivation to sell, I’ll be able to find neighbours who aren’t completely insane.”
One person replied that the neighbour was in the wrong for not introducing themselves. They wrote: “So you never went over to introduce yourself to her. She never came by to welcome you to the neighborhood.”
Another added: “Don’t let her live in your head. Evict her from there. If even the police are telling her to stop her nonsense then nobody who matters believes her either.
“Enjoy your house, enjoy your yard and live your best life. Wave and smile any time you happen to see her but don’t engage with her at all.”
