Popis: Using data from a random telephone survey, this paper explores the nature of annoyances between neighbors. Neighbor annoyances were both pervasive (90% of the respondents reported that they experienced at least one annoyance in the last 3 years) and varied (averaging 2.5 different types per respondent). The estimated percentage of life stress attributable to neighbor annoyances was only 8.5%. However, for a small minority (6%), annoyance with neighbors consumed a considerable amount of their energy and, in some cases, led to forced moves and threats of violence. Implications of these findings for community mediation are discussed.
