Well, I'm officially old...

[gingy]

We just got new neighbors a couple houses down. I saw two bro-dozers in the driveway and two BMWord coupes with street racing stickers and immediately knew we were about to be living the movie Neighbors for real...minus Zac Efron.
I'm sitting in my living room which is in the back of the house and I hear loud bass. I go out in the front and sure as shit, it's coming from that house! And our street is curvy, so they aren't even directly across from us and I can hear it from the back of my house! Bros, you moved to the fucking suburbs. You can't play your house music at 10 on a Sunday. Between the music and the roar of their bro-dozers going back and forth for some reason (literally 5 times in the last 2 hours) it will be a miracle if they don't wake DD up since her room is in the front right next to the street. They only moved in yesterday. We are going to need to move asap. And to make it worse, this house is next to a vacant house and then the corner, so basically I'm the only one who would hear it. So either I deal with it or be the old crabby neighbor lady who calls the cops. Stupid bros making me old!

[mrsnorris]

Yeah, I'd call the cops and not even be sorry, or send DW to tell them to STFU. I've put up with enough crap from neighbors over the year (particularly for the five years that we lived in Harlem) that now that I live in the 'burbs I have no patience for such shenanigans. Luckily our neighbors here are pretty quiet overall. Honestly, other than a jackass with a motorcycle around the corner from us the biggest problem we have is that our neighbors sometimes have children's birthday parties until all hours at night. And here birthday parties for four years olds sometimes don't start until seven or eight pm and involve DJs or live music and three hundred people seemingly. But yeah, I've been old forever (the loud parties MOTN bothered me in the dorms in college) so I have less than zero patience for that crap by this point in my life. Sorry you're dealing with that! Every time someone new moves into our neighborhood I feel like we're spinning the roulette wheel.

[gingy]

Well we will definitely be spinning the wheel a few more times. We will have lived here two years in March. In that time, there has been a change of owner in 5 of the 8 houses around us. Either we're awful to live next to or the market finally recovered enough for people to be able to not sell at a loss. And two of them have become rentals. Unfortunately Sigma Sigma Douchelord across the street was a sale. I feel like the whole neighborhood has changed so quickly and now I want to move! I'm so annoyed!

[Deleted]

They are making a Neighbors sequel btw. (fun fact, sorry for your bad luck).

[cdseno]

That sucks. Sorry. We have some young guys living right behind us currently and it can get pretty annoying on the weekend when they come home from the bar. But their house is like 10 feet from ours so we can hear them talking.

It's too bad Zac Efron doesn't live there.

[weeklyplanner]

Zac Efron is so fuckable.

Also, I've never heard the term bro dozer and I love it.

Sorry about the new neighbors that sounds awful.

[briarrose]

Sorry, I cant stop laughing at Sigma Sigma Douchelord.

I'm glad. Not going to lie, I was pretty proud of that one.

I legit LOLed at that too. Almost woke LO.

WTF is a bro dozer?

[professorbinns]

These stories are what makes me nervous about moving. Right now we have two acres, our house is in the center and the perimeter is treed. We are listing this spring and moving to a more neighborhood type area. I can see the very corner of my neighbors shop.

I will miss the privacy. When I was in labour I walked around the yard in a t-shirt and my underwear and didn't have to worry about anyone seeing me.

I don't know what it is either. I feel really out of touch.

[bobloblaw]

I wondered what a bro dozer is too and also liked Sigma Sigma Douchelord

Um... so we live in the middle of a very urban area and there's always jerky hod-rods and motorcycles that drive by and gun it right by the light that is about a block from our house. It is SO loud and sometimes I totally wish I lived in the burbs because it would be more quiet... then I read something like this and realize it really isn't guaranteed quiet, though it should be. I would be super annoyed too that the new neighbors can't be respectful of their suburban surroundings.

I would call the cops non-emergency number for a noise complaint and not feel bad about it at all. I've been old my entire life in that I dislike anything loud.

[gingy]

This is a bro dozer. A tricked out, raised, usually diesel truck that is not actually used for its intended heavy duty truck purposes. Usually the only thing it hauls around is its drivers ego. It is also a requirement to drive them at high speeds, just to stop in 100 feet at a red light. Oh, and apparently it's OK to park them on a corner like in the picture. That part was new to me.

LOL!  Thank god that isn't a thing where I live.  Most young people avoid trucks like the plague unless they are in a construction field.

You obviously live in a much more logical place than Northern California. I think the lower price of gas is only going to encourage them ?

[blinkme182]

I would probably wear my PJ's and yell at them to get off my yard!

Don't forget it also increases penis size exponentially.  I like bro-dozer, we usually just call them "compensation" and laugh.

Oooo do they have the set of balls on the trailer hitch?  That would make it complete

Oh, yes! How could I forget penis size?! I haven't gotten close enough to check for the lovely ball sack.

[bkroxfan003]

I'd ask them to turn it down and then if they don't change anything I'd call the cops. We just moved from an apartment into a house and my neighbor problems have lessened but I still had to ask the people across the street if they'd stop parking their gigantic work truck in front of our house so my hubby could park there. So, if you want, I've been super assertive lately so I could go and say something for you.

[harleyquinn]

I live in a duplex (so i live in a house, one side i live the other side is my neighbor) i give a little leeway because the a joining wall is thin sinceiit's an old house. That being said they are alcoholics and will blast music until 3 or 4 in the morning. They've had domestic disbutes and i can always tell when she's back with her crappy abusive boyfriend- he refuses to help pay rent and i can hear him through the wall since he doesn't talk he just yells. He demands her to buy him booze all the time they fight at least 2 to 3 times a week.

since Itty bit was born and I've been speaking with the landlord the music hasn't been as big of an issue but their disbutes still are

i feel bad because she has a son in 5th grade and this scumbag is constantly trying to pick fights with him and calls him a faggot. You're an over 45 year old man, he's not even breaking double digits get over yourself and leave the kid alone

[gahorseygal]

This is why we are looking for at least 10 acres. Currently we live next to our best friends in a town house. Our neighborhood is full of rednecks but they are at least really nice.

There is no dumber accessory than trailer hitch balls. I just can't with them. Especially if they are blue.

[gingy]

I'm happy to report that other neighbors have been complaining too. I feel so much more justified in my old curmudgeon status. There was a truck delivery new appliances and carpet today. It was parked directly in the middle of the street and the end of a blind corner. I can't even. H thinks maybe they're flipping it. I'm crossing everybody part that that's true.
I have no problem going and asking them to get their act together. I'm just waiting for a night of good sleep so I at least go in with a calm, cool head. I would take way too much pleasure in ripping them a new one after a shitty night's sleep.

[mrsnorris]

Well good! It's always nice to have others validate that they really are obnoxious and that it's not just you. I hope they are indeed flipping! Fingers crossed for you!

[mandapanda1382]

How annoying! I'm totally one of "those neighbors" who is an old curmudgeon. I like my peace!
