Moving to house-- scary people

So we finally found a house to move to.  We signed the contract yesterday and went to the house tonight to move some stuff in/look over the check list.

I couldn't get the door to close when we left and I accidentally slammed the door and the next door neighbour screamed out "Quit slamming the f'ing door you f'ing a**hole."

Now I am really worried about moving in and pretty scared, but we have signed the lease and I don't think there is anything we can do about it. 

There isn't any way to get out of a lease if your neighbours threaten you, is there?

Oh no, that would freak me out too.  But maybe your neighbour had issues with the previous tenant(s) and thought he was screaming at them? 

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question but good luck!

Kill them with kindness.  I would just nicely knock on their door and say, "I'm so sorry about the door slamming yesterday.  I've only just moved in and it got stuck.  Nice to meet you."

I bet they won't expect it at all.   And anyway, if they ARE a jerk still, at least you'll know it for sure and can start plotting your revenge.

  people can be so rude.  they probably have had a bad experience with the previous tennant. I would  try to meet them, apologise and see what happens.

After we bought our house and moved in our neighbours decided that even though they can see us over the fence from the garden, they would ignore us and never say hi.  To this day we're ignored!  If I go out in the garden with my pup they'll shut their back door, windows and curtains! I feel like a right freak lol But I suppose I'd rather be ignored than screamed at with obsenities.

Good Luck

Ooooh No!!! I would be really scared as well.

I agree to kill 'em with kindness. When we moved into where we are now we used to get notes through our letterbox about everything.... and the neighbour below us introduced himself by saying to DH 'hi, im the unfortunate bastard who lives below you... and went on to complain about DH playing his guitar too loud'. But, we've lived there happily for 2.5 years now and even though they didnt like us at first... i sent christmas cards to them all, held the door for them, helped the old man downstairs carry his groceries in and I think we've grown on them a bit since then. I just think people get nervous when new people move in, especially if the one that lived there before was a real jerk. Best of luck, theyre probably not as bad at you think 

Yeah I spent the whole night stewing away and got to work and my co-workers made me feel better.

They have been painting/laying carpets so maybe they thought we were builders?  Or maybe they were having a bad day or thought we were the other tenets? 

It just freaked me out and really ruined the end of our day. 

My husband's comment was if they were really crazy they would have come out with a knife.  That didn't make me feel much better really.

Well, it is only a six month lease, so we can move again if we need too. 

Thanks to everyone on here for making me feel a little better too.

Hope it works out for you. I agree, kindness is the best option to start with!

i'd make sure i slammed every door in the house at every opportunity, but i'm a vindictive butthead.

That's the thing.  The walls are really, really thick.  I couldn't hear anything from next door until we went out the front door. 

I guess the lesson here is going to be use the side/back door at all times.  I was going to anyway because it leads into a "conservatory", which is more a shed.  So no dirt on the carpets.
