Sadly, we don't get a lot of control over who ends up living next to us. And sometimes, people have wildly different ideas on whether or not it's appropriate to mow your lawn at three in the morning. If you're living next to someone with such soft policies on what constitutes "a completely huge and awful disturbance of the peace" then all we can say is good luck and hopefully they either move out or die soon.

Being in a feud is one thing. Sure, most of us can recall a particular person from our lives and acknowledge that we hate their filthy, stinking guts. But when that person is literally one fence away and you have to look at their big dumb face when you take out the trash, it makes day-to-day life just that much more uncomfortable.

No amount of meditation and healthy awareness can get you physically further away from a bad neighbor. So here are some times when people had to deal with some real dirtbags, lunatics and cretins who just so happened to live just within throwing distance.
