It’s a horrible day in the neighborhood.

In a quest to get crowd-sourced proof of the ol’ proverb that “good fences make good neighbors,” redditor ahem17 posed this question to the Ask Reddit community:

“Redditors who have had ‘neighbors from hell,’ what happened?”

Thousands of users chimed in to share their horror stories of trying to deal with the other side of the white picket fence, making the elaborate hijinks of Neighbors (and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising) look tame by comparison.

Here are a few of the top answers that’ll make you think twice before you stick your nose over the fence and say, “Hidey-ho.”

Simple—But Hurtful

The Curious Incident of the Dog & the Human Food

The Three Plagues

30 Is Enough

Wait Until the Cops Get Wind of This!
