The worse neighbours I ever had was this dodgy couple who lived downstairs from us who stole our mail (including parcels), called Adam "The faggot" and tried to beat the hell out of my other flatmate when he asked them to turn down their music. We even thought that they actaully tried to poison our upstairs elderly neighbours cat (Don't worry, me and Dan rushed it to kitty hospital). They were evil.

Faggot as an insult seems to carry more sting in America. It sounds wrong and a bit silly in the UK.

Faggot.

You quender. (A combination of the insults queer and bender) Let's f**k.
When my mum and dad were a young married couple, they moved into a little terraced house, with my older sister, who was then a baby, in what was/is generally a quiet, middle class neighbourhood. This was a big mistake, as there was a woman living next door, who had 3 mad sons, who were in their late teens and early twenties. They caused all sorts of trouble, until they moved out, after about 5 years, e.g. once, one of them "borrowed" a motorbike helmet from my Dad, and never gave it back. Then there was the night they had a mad party, and a naked Rastafarian bloke jumped out of the bedroom window. The worst incident involving them, though, was when they took the back fence down, and used it as firewood. They claimed they'd built it themselves, so it was up to them if they wanted to take it down. They did build another fence, a few months later, but it looked a sight, as they'd used all sorts of miscellaneous pieces of wood, including a sign that had just been taken down, from above the local newsagents. As I said, the family moved out after about 5 years, and luckily, the girl that moved in after them was as quiet as a mouse. Oh, and she agreed to go halves on a new fence.

Adam The Faggot. That's brilliant. Talking of great names, check this guy out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Minge

I bought a nearby semi several years ago from a family of Jehovah's Witnesses who frequently plagued the neighbourhood with doorstep visits on Sunday mornings. They said their existing neighbours kept themselves very much to to themselves.
Once I'd moved in, my new neighbours and their four kids were all over us. I soon found out they were leading lights from the local church of Jesus Christ and the Latterday Saints - you know, Mormons.
Ah, the great curse.
Got a couple from Watford now. They moved to our rural area to help combat their xenophobia. Lovely people - and white too!

Are you surprised they are lovely people because they are white?
It's a tie between the Days-of Wine-and-Roses couple & the sonic bombardiers.
The couple that lived above used to have massive fights about which one was a bigger alcoholic, when really it was horse race. A horse race with drunken, derelict, horses. They used to fall down. A lot.
The sonic attackers used to blast bass heavy music constantly. Horrible, ignorant, people. They had kids too, because you know you want to pass those genes on. Cops came out a few times, but they kept doing it. The landlord didn't give a crap until they decided that rent was optional. Then, suddenly the landlord gave all kinds of craps.

"The Faggot"? There can only be ONE in existence at a time, like "Highlander."
Do you know in Ancient Egypt they would have gotten killed for that cat poisoning stunt? It was an automatic death sentence for anyone that killed, or tried to kill, a cat.
Any civilisation which reveres cats as gods is alright by me.
I once had the joy of living inbetween an epilectic prostitute (who was found dead in her bath) and a mental woman with two kids who would just chuck them out (8 and 11 year olds) so all you could hear was them banging on the door 24 hours wanting to be let in.
I miss bangy time...

If only she had installed a child flap in the door, so they could go out do their business and then crawl through the flap...Well, it would have been less bangy.
No comment on the epileptic prostitute that wouldn't be in very poor taste I'm afraid
