"Gripe about your neighbor on RottenNeighbor.com "

You can punch in a zip code or city name and complain about the idiots next door who let their dogs bark all day. Or find out if there are such idiots in a neighborhood that you're thinking about moving to. (The answer: yes, they're everywhere).

I typed in my zip code and found out something I wasn't aware of: there's one more sex offender living in my apartment building than I knew about; a guy I see and chat with almost every day. First degree sexual assault and he's a lifetime registrant.

Sometimes I think I don't wanna know . . .

No one too close to me. They also show foreclosures, but I know there are some nearby foreclosures not on the map!

I just put Orbs' home on the map.

We are very fortunate to have great neighbors. We do a cookout every year and try to connect at least once more, besides what we do on our own, we're in a great spot, and love it!

This site could be very dangerous... I looked up my neighborhood & found some extremely slanderous stuff written about a guy I know. I haven't known him well but it has been over 30 years and whoever wrote the complaint (it wasn't a sexual offender thing, just a complaint) was vicious.

Anybody could post anything about their neighbor & we all know how nasty some neighbors can be...

lizardmom, you truly are a lucky one.
