It comes as no surprise when living next door to a pub, you are gonna get annoyed by the drunks laughing it up obnoxiously with their mates, staggering & falling around only to call for their precious taxis for a cheap ride home because their too crap faced to walk back to their houses themselfs.. These drunks must be sending those taxi drivers' kids to college with the amount of calls they get..
If that wasn't bad enough on the other side of my house we have a Polish family with the kids all jumping around on a trampoline all day In their backyard laughing it up with their daughter giving her best Melina scream that could bleed your ears dry, It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the paper thin walls & the fact that we have to keep our windows wide open due to the intense heat of the summer..
Then there's the dogs.. oh those damn dogs.. the stuff of nightmares.. the area I live in is pretty busy & just next to the high street in our town, it seems like everyone owns a dog in this area. We have a dog ourselves but she's pretty well behaved & doesn't make a sound compared to these hounds from hell. Late at night when we're trying to sleep over the noise of the pub & their odd karaoke nights, we've also got to deal with the dogs barking & howling at the moon for hours straight.. I sometimes wonder to myself where are their owners?, I mean surely they have to endure & suffer listening to their dogs barking in their backyard just as much as us. Some people are really that stupid..
So yeah, basically I've got the whole triple threat & to think it wasn't like this back in 2002 when we originally moved in. That was a simpler time, the pub next door was out of business, we had different neigbours & there wasn't as many dogs in the area yapping every afternoon & night. Oh how I miss those days.. I could go on & tell you stories with the drunks from the pub next door but I don't want to bore you with details..
I know I'm not the only one who has to deal with annoying neighbours, so why not share your experiences & vent your frustrations out?.. I'd really like to see someone who has it just as bad as I do or worse.

Mine aren't really too bad noise wise but what's irritating is somebody from somewhere is always parking in front of my house. It's not illegal to do obviously but it's a pain because it's usually my spot that gets taken and we have four cars we need to park in front of my house. It's also frustrating when we already have everybody lined up and somebody feels the need to park behind me and box me in because there was not enough room for them to begin with.

Unless they built the pub after you moved in you've got a cheek to complain tbh, of course pubs are gonna be noisy. Kids are generally noisy any which way, Dogs constantly barking is an annoyance though ive got dogs and they dont bark all day, the guy next door has a dog that barks all day, probably due to boredom as its a boxer, and only has the back yard with a washing line to occupy itself for the majority of the day.

I hate dogs. Well that's not true. I do love dogs, but I ing hate it when they bark ALL THE TIME, or they don't /do/ anything. Our neighbors across the street have two Collies that run around the front yard and bark at traffic. After awhile they bring them back in but they have a huge backyard and they never let them out there. Like ffs. My uncle is stupid enough to bring his dogs in our house where my poor cat is. I have to yell at him not to bring them in the house when the cat is out. The dogs then proceed to run down the hall where I keep my cat and bark at the ing door, scaring the cat and making him pee on the carpet because he's so scared, then grandma yells at me because of it. To add on to that, the dogs are always barking at everything. When they're not barking, they're running away from people because they're skiddish of people. He'll let them outside, then 30 seconds later they're whining about how they want to come back in. The neighbors along side us are fine, because their dogs are in a fenced in area and never bark. Really good dogs. Our neighbors behind us in apartments decide to let their labrador retriever and kids play in our lawn. After asking them to not do that 3 times and putting up multiple signs they refuse to listen so next time they come into our property we're calling either the town or the police. We cannot afford to put up a longer fence and defintely cannot afford a lawsuit if the kids get hurt on our property. I get really irritated because I mow our lawn without shoes on (saves the shoes because of how bad my feet sweat) and the dumbasses don't pick up their dogs' crap, so I don't see it and I always end up stepping in it. Is it that hard to pick up after your ing dog?

I've always gotten pretty lucky with neighbors but there is nothing worse than getting bad ones.

Count me in as part of the terrible neighbors group. I live on the first floor of an apartment complex, it was a nice peaceful neighborhood until the people moved in the floor above us. Anyways, this lady has two little kids around the ages of five and six. I understand that kids around that age may be hyper and play around a lot, but they run/jump so much and hard on their floor aka my ceiling, it thuds LOUD and they scream like there's no damn tomorrow.
I have a pretty high tolerance level but they got worse. They are plain reckless and irresponsible. See, all their drain pipes are connected to ours. Whether they use the toilet, bathtub, sinks, etc. One time, my sink was overflowing and flooding my kitchen floor because they dumped grease/oil or whatever and it clogged up the pipes. At that point, I wasn't furious but growing increasingly upset. That's not the end however. Another time I had woken up from a nap and I hear this rapid dripping coming from the bathroom. I swear I wasn't even asleep for twenty minutes and this happened. With me in panic mode thinking I left the sink on by accident, I rush to the bathroom to find that my sink wasn't the one dripping or overflowing, it was my bathroom ceiling and my floor was flooded. I called the maintenance guys and they hurry over to find that the lady/kids had left the apartment with their bathtub running. Even one of the maintenance guys dislikes them so he knows where I'm coming from.
Now we get to the part of the story where her kids are not only running around and making loud noise in their apartment, but when they're outside they're throwing garbage near my area. They also have rang my doorbell continually on a daily basis at one point. I politely asked the mother for her kids to stop their antics but of course there are still occasions where they would ring twice and then run upstairs or throw something around my area. I don't hate kids, in fact I would like to have kids myself one day, but damn it these kids are brats. I'm not the type to report things to the landlord and complain but even if I do the neighbor lady acts all sweet to the landlord and pretends that everything is all nice and that her kids are well-behaved. Thinking about moving somewhere else but it's hard to afford other places. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll move out. (Praying)
tl;dr: I hate my neighbors. RKO them blah blah blah.
That felt good to get off my chest haha.

The worst I have is the woman in the next block on the same floor as us with her repulsive smoker's cough hacking up at all hours of the day(and night), it's even worse in the summer when our windows are open, it sounds like she's in the next room. And the neighbourhood watch across the street in the bottom flat who's constantly at her window and feeds off of grassing. Complete ing loser. A drug dealing benefit fraud that reports people for the pettiest of nonsense, classic.

The neighbours across the road are a couple in their mid-50s. They can't keep their hands of of each other, and they're very noisy about it too. *shudders*

I have a driveway keeping one neighbor about 40 feet from my house. On the other side my neighbor is closer but they are calm people.
From what the OP describes things don't seem bad. I'd rather have playful children living next door instead of gang bangers or drug users. As for the Bar, just look at the positives, you live next to a place that makes people happy.

My neighbour puts awful country music in the garden on full blast and it sounds even worse when it turns the bass down so all you hear is an awful squeak. It does it for spite aswell as it shuts its windows and doors while it has it on and it only has it on if I'm home.

I'm pretty lucky. I have mostly awesome neighbors. The worst thing I have to deal with is the occasional car taking up too much room in the street or someone letting their grass get a bit high.

I live in a "luxury" apartment complex in a rural little town. They do criminal background checks so a lot of the trash is weeded out there, but almost everyone in the complex is retired, single mothers, or small families. The rent is ridiculous, but I love the peace of mind. Biggest complaint I have is the fella upstairs can't stop walking on his heels.

Damn dude it sounds like you've got it really bad where you live, I don't think we've had to deal with property damage or our house hasn't flooded luckily. I don't know how much patience I would have & how much I would tolerate from those neighbours..
Just to add to the drunks from the pub nextdoor, they really are the worst offender of the three. We've found a couple of needles thrown over the wall & dumped into our backyard years ago, thus switching the blame with ppl thinking we'd taken the stuff which is obviously not the case. We've had kids & their drunk fathers kicking a ball up against our backyard wall every summer & I'm expecting it to happen this summer when the football season kicks off again, the thing about that backyard wall is that seeing as how the walls to our house is pretty much paper thin and can hear anything outside & with our windows open we have to listen to the loud thud every five seconds until they tire themselves out which could last over an hour. If that's not bad enough, half the time they accidentally kick the ball over the wall & into our backyard. Now like any polite neighbour or person would do is to knock on the frontdoor & ask if we could fetch & retrieve the ball for them but no instead they just help themselves into our backyard by either hopping over the wall or opening our gate hoping we're not in..
This past Easter Sunday this year we had like 20 - 30 drunks all arriving to the pub nextdoor, all in the football spirit swirling their beer mugs high, spilling beer on themselfs & shouting at the top of their lungs for their love of England. Next thing you know two of those drunks are jumping around on our roof.. Luckily they didn't collapse through or cause any real damage which I'm sure if they did the pub nextdoor would refuse to take responsibility & pay for the repair costs..
I.. I just lost any patience I had with these pricks :/
Speaking of smokers cough we have one of those too, he's a regular at the pub nextdoor but he's not really a nuisance compared to the others.

Before I moved in 2012 I lived in a street that was like a fish bowl. People treated it like desperate housewives or some show like that. People were so caught up with gossip and I wanted no part in any of it. My parents were friends with people for years until people started pulling them into drama. Then for the last 2 years of me living there we as a family barely talked to any of the neighbours. One of the saddest and funniest things I've ever seen was my next door neighbour(The mom of the house who was like the worst white trash, stereotypical devil mother) and her neighbour(same as my neighbour. Dirty white trash with an attitude, who thinks she is royal.). They together stopped talking to my family and then when we through away our backyard table they came and carried into my neighbours backyard. Like WTF we aren't good enough to talk to but our table is nice. That whole scene made my skin crawl. I miss the house I grew up in but hate those neighbours. My next door neighbour found out a year later after I moved that her neighbour(the one who helped her take my table) was sleeping with her husband for over a full year or two. They both have since moved off of my old street and both got divorced. Funny thing is that I knew about the affair around a year before I moved. Scum of the earth. Don't think I am just rude because I have over 14 years of stories to back me up.
