Neighbours can suck. I had to move out of a building after putting up with loud music from several of its occupants for over a year. Because the building was near Sydney’s infamous Kings Cross, many of the tenants had the attitude it was okay to play loud music as they lived near the nightclub district anyway. After seeing a neighbour get attacked after she kept asking one tenant to turn down her music, I decided it was time to pack my bags and leave. Especially when I found a better flat in a quieter suburb.

My friend Craig has had his fair share of hassles with his neighbours as well. For years he kept chickens in his backyard. They were his prized pets. Then along came the neighbours from hell. For some reason they took exception to his chickens and they kept complaining to him about them. Eventually the pressure got too much and Craig had to get rid of them. It was a situation that incenses Craig to this day.

The sad part was the neighbours moved shortly after Craig got rid of his chickens. He now feels they caused all this trouble for nothing. The other sad part is that after having so many hassles, he is reluctant to have chickens again as pets. His only pet now is Tiger the tabby cat who spends most of her time sleeping on his bed. At least Craig can console himself with the fact no neighbour is likely to complain about his cat.
