14 Types of Annoying Neighbors You Never Want to Have
Good neighbors, bad neighbors; we've all had them. We always want someone whom we can trust and can always count on in times of need. But what happens when some annoying bunch of neighbors move next door? Close to a nightmare, isn't it? In this Buzzle post, we have enlisted some types of annoying neighbors whom you need to watch out for.
"A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing."
Man is a social animal, therefore, we like having people around us. We all have neighbors, be it a house you are living in, apartment, or even a dormitory. Some are so good that you feel lucky to have such wonderful people around you, while others are simply annoying. When it comes to neighbors, you seek people who you can rely on, and can depend upon at any given time of the day; someone you can trust if you leave your extra pair of house keys with them, someone who can keep a watch on your place when you're out of town, etc. However, sometimes, it can get really difficult living next to some crazy and pesky neighbors, that makes you want to pull your hair out, or even theirs! Some of their habits can make your life really uncomfortable. And unfortunately, you can't hide or run away from them, unless you are living in a rented apartment. Here's a list of the different kinds of neighbors you may be living next to, or you may want to avoid.

Annoying Neighbors that You Should Avoid
#1. The Spying Neighbor
#2. The Super Sweet Neighbor
#3. The Bullies
#4. The Noisy Neighbor
#5. The Party Animal
#6. The Gossip Monger
#7. The Loud Fighters
#8. The Musicians
#9. The Always-borrowing Neighbor
This neighbor, at first, may seem very kind and harmless. But one fine day, you'll see them at your doorstep, and they'll innocently ask you for something. And you being a good neighbor, give them whatever they need. This makes them think that they can borrow anything and everything that they want, and many times will take away stuff without even asking. The worse part arrives when they return the stuff damaged, or don't return things at all.#10. The Psycho Neighbor
These types of neighbors keep to themselves. Always. The window blinds are always closed, and you never really get to see them, until you catch them staring at your window from the small gap between their curtains. Their homes always give a haunted feeling, with overgrown trees and weeds around. Once in a blue moon, when you see them outside and greet them, they will never respond to you, but instead give you a silent, cold stare. You hardly see anybody coming or going from their place.#11. The Unpredictable Neighbor
Then you have the type of neighbor who is completely unpredictable. Their mood swings sometimes leaves you all confused. One minute they will seem pleasant and will have a good laugh with you, and the next moment their evil version comes out of nowhere. You never really come to know how to react, because you can't judge whether they will be happy or become rude and abusive.#12. The Self-inviting Neighbor
Another type is the one who always turn up at your door unexpectedly, and invite themselves in for a drink or snack. They never get the hint that you are busy and not in a mood to socialize. They stay in for hours, and sometimes even the whole day. All you can do is to pretend that you are out and not answer the door at all.#13. The Mess Maker
This neighbor should be avoided always. They will make the whole area unpleasant with garbage and other stuff all over the place, and will also make the property value decrease in the entire neighborhood. All the junk from their homes piles on their yards, with it slowly coming over to yours too. You'll find rodents and rotten food inside their homes.#14. The Exotic Pet Lover
Imagine yourself waking up next to a python one day. Yep, now you know what we are talking about here. Most of us love animals, but when the neighbor's dog keeps barking till five in the morning, you know something needs to be done really soon. Neighbors having cats are equally annoying, with these little furballs purring every few minutes. They can leave your yard looking like a complete mess by diving into your trashcan. Some neighbors even keep dangerous animals as pets, and let them loose, causing trouble in the whole of the neighborhood.
