Crazy neighbor stories

[Vinyl]

I heard our little dog barking today & was fondly reminded of the time we had 3 dogs (before our current one came along). Anyways, we used to have these 3 dogs who were pretty well-behaved noise-wise. They didn't cause any noisy disruptions at night, but began to at one point. We had this neighbor who would always complain to my dad about them. One night, the dogs were at it again, so my dad sneakily looks to see what's making them bark like that. He spies the same neighbor who complained purposely standing behind his fence, making angry faces at our dogs & being intimidating! So he's the one who's been instigating all of it! God knows why. My dad confronted him & all went back to Quietville.

Okay, so I bet that neighbor isn't as weird as some people's... so share!!

Well.. it's nothing as crazy.... but my EX neighbor (they moved away)..... every night she would always sing the TITANIC anthem. I mean literally screaming on the top of her lungs "MY HEART WILL GO ON~~~~~~!!!!" i didn't understand why she had to do it every night at 8:00 p.m. I mean.. at first i thought that she bought a new karaoke system and she was testing it out, but after a month it drove me nuts! But she was only able to sing it 4 times straight- because her voice couldn't take it- and i was relieved~ but i had to listen to that for like 2 years! Also, there's a gap between our houses obviously.... and i couldn't believe that we were able to hear her that loud.

But...... i just thought that it was weird- and she was over 50 years old lol.

My parents live in a very old-money, upscale neighborhood where everything you do to your property has to be approved by a committee (which is why their swimming pool is in the side yard, not the back yard--the ancient matriarch next door didn't want pool noises interfering with her garden parties). When I was a teenager a couple moved in across the street who were different to say the least. They kept illegal chickens in their bacyard and their young sons called them by their first names and knew waaaaayyyy too much about sex. One of them, I swear he couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 at the time, actually tried to seduce me. They didn't last too long in that neighborhood!

fashion1sta, LOL, that is SO weird!! Did you ever find out why...?

OOo.... I had one, will never forget him. A single guy lived right across from me. He would always pull into his garage and shut the door before he got out of the car. The kind that never wants to catch eye contact so as to never engage. Fine. Then one day I went out on the balcony to just have a seat and read a book or something when I notice him open his door to go out on his balcony..... as soon as he saw me he turned around so fast like he had been caught and went right back inside. Fine.

A different guy, he wants to keep to himself, whatever. BUT, wait it gets better, then I see this guy at 2 am putting up those orange cones to block the entrance of our alley way where our garages are. Weird, I thought what is this guy doing.

Then it all came to a head, one late night, happened to have been trash day that day so my trash can was still right outside my garage door....... my SO and I went out to walk the dog and had gone around once, but wanted to take another lap around the neighborhood, she pooped so I had the bag of poop and thought I would set it on the ground right by my trash can and I would double bag it when we got back home. Right......

We make that second lap and are walking back to the house and I see my trash can in the middle of the street. My SO and I are looking at each other.... I get the trash can, then I look for the bag of poop. It's gone, nowhere to be found, not even inside my empty trashcan.

Well the way my brain works I KNEW it was this guy, mind you it's about 11 pm, I went right over and rang his doorbell. He answered and I went off. Thank goodness I was right, he stumbled to find the words and reluctantly admitted he put my trashcan in the street and that he took the poop, said he put it in HIS trashcan.... with no explanation why! He did look pretty embarrassed like he hadn't imagined he'd be confronted. A weirdo right! He also told me he was putting the cones up at night to keep the newspaper guy from driving in the alley because the car woke him up. BUT, this guy's lights were on at 2 and 3 in the morning and he would leave around 8 am for work.

The funniest thing was a few days later this guy actually came over to apologize and said he knew we probably thought he was weird. Uh yeah! But, from that point forward he would wave every now and again when we saw him. I'd wave back just to be neighborly but always made sure my doors were locked and blinds positioned just right.

My SO and I still laugh now about how strange this guy was, the poop snatcher...... who knows what he really did. Strange people in this world I tell ya. lol

Needless to say, he was one good reason I was very happy the day I moved from that place.

since california declared that the state was in a drought we stopped watering out lawn to help conserve water. well i guess it upset one of our neighbors who stuck a note in our mail box reminding us to up-keep our lawn or fix our sprinklers. which is totally rude! im trying to save water and all this neighbor cares about it keeping some grass green! jerks.

Ive got a strange one!

A few years ago we had this MAD couple who lived across the street, drugs, plenty of sex with other people blah blah (and i live in a rather nice road, but nobody liked them) well anyways they had this son who was about oh i dont no 20 or a little younger? well anyways he was not the type you would want your kids around. He would steal cars, break into houses etc... although not in his own road! but we often had to call the police or have the police in the road for a good few years due to his antics.

Well one time he actually staged a break in, into his own home! :S what? he made his friends break into his house were he lived with his mother and well pretend to burgle, probably a insurance scandle! well anyway they got caught and i think he went to prison for it, well he went for something similar anyways.

Once he got out of prison his mum had moved from our street! thank lord! but he went out drinking one night, ended going to the wrong house, the one in my street! breaking in and sleeping on the kitchen floor! what a wierdo! i mean they'd been gone a good few months!

I wrote about my crazy neighbor story in another thread... So I will quote what I wrote!!

"i got into it with DF's neighbor because she was being stupid saying i was blocking her driveway (i was 6 feet AWAY!) and she said if i ever did that again she would call the cops. and i told her to go ahead. if they towed my car, which i doubt because i was not blocking her and its public parking, but IF she did get them to tow, it would cost HER money because the city of millbrae will not tow off public property unless the car is visually unable to move. she told me i was rude, that was her come back. she then said would hit my car with her truck. i told her to go ahead, and i would just collect her money for the damages. she, "yah because your young, you sassy bit---" DF looked at her and she knew she better not finish that word or else he would have had to interfer. she then told me i have no respect for elders. i then told her how is it that I DONT HAVE RESPECT?? i didnt go off calling you names, you called me sassy which is practically a b*tch and you almost called me a b*tch in modern terms. she has not said sorry to me, but she has to DF. she said, "who is she anyways?? if thats your gf you can do a lot better, your a nice boy." DF replied, "Get over yourself, shes my fiance and we've been together for about 3 years, shes not going anywhere. Get over it." She left and has never said anything.

Just because their old don't mean squat. I treat you the way you treat me. Treat me respectfully I shall treat you the same way. Treat me like crap, I'll do the same! "Age aint nothing but a number" -Aalayiah"

Okay, maybe not 6 feet away, but at least a good 4+ feet!!

Here's a picture too!!

We have really strange neighbours too. When we are away from the house, I'm sure they come into our garden - one time we came back (we'd forgotten something) to find the wife taking some cuttings - we told them any plants they wanted they could just ask.

Then another time, they were putting up a huge privacy screen and when we left to pick up something, we came back to find the screen nailed in place from our side of the fence.

One summer night, we heard a lot of water noise and went outside to see that they had left the sprinkler on (at the side of the house - there's about a 18 inches of sidewalk on their side, our side has plants). We think they were trying to "drown" our plants so we put up a golf umbrella and had to leave it up the whole night!

We also find bread and other food tossed between the fence and our shed. They do have a son who is not quite all there - so maybe he is the one that does this.

They will also walk through our flower beds (the ones in front of the house) - we put little fences up but that didn't work and finally had to raise up the beds with landscape ties!

They also have all their security lights set super sensitive and aimed at us - so the slightest movement and it's like we're on stage - the lights are so bright!

They are usually cordial, one is even semi-friendly - but it just feels weird - sometimes they will try to avoid eye contact. I think they must secretly hate us or something.

BellaFiore, that's hysterical... a poop stealer, LOL!

Nynaeve, I would've just been like, "Just tell us you don't like us already!!!!" Haha!

Wow, you guys all have crazier neighbors!

[print*model]

I live in a small, very nice neighborhood. There are doctors, lawyers, travelling carnival owners, college professors, school teachers, construction company owners and we even have a pro golfer. Let-me-tell-you. These have got to be the CRAZIEST people to have as neighbors!

One guy would sneak out in the middle of the night and steal his neighbors yard decorations just for the heck of it. Another lady would take walks thru the neighborhood and if she came across small bikes or tricycles, she would pick them up and throw them into a wooded area near-by. We had a newlywed couple who used to fight at all times of the night. He once stood in the front yard in the middle of the night and screamed to the top of his lungs how his elementary school teacher wife LOVED to snort coke and that she thought she was fooling everyone because she was cute and drove a BMW. WTH? I've seen them steal things like windows and doors from houses that had sold and the owners had just moved out of. Many of them drink like fish. Their re-cycle bins often overflowing with beer and liquor bottles every Wednesday morning.

It's funny to me when I hear people talk about crime and the crazy things that go on in so-called "bad neighborhoods". LOL! It doesn't matter where you live or how expensive the houses are. There are crazy people everywhere. And I've found that those with the biggest saleries are the absolute nuttiest.

That is sooo strange.

This isn't a neighbor.. but my mom and dad had a tenant years ago... and she use to complain of a constant running water sounds..... and my mom heard them.. but couldn't figure out where it was coming from..... This went on for months and months.

This woman was in her 70's and was very mean to my mother.

One day.. my mom went up into her apt..... unannounced.. and she had the faucets running at full throttle in both the bathroom and kitchen... purposely to make my moms life hell.. and to get the waterbill up.. because she didn't pay for it.

Why are neighbors so crazy!!!?!?

I live next door to a family consisting of both parents and two sons - ages I am guessing to be about 20 and 10. They moved in about 5 years ago.

Our driveways are located in the back of our houses, two spots for each family and our driveways are not divided by any physcial barriers. My neighbors only have 2 cars and love to park in my driveway when my parents go to work! My parents have confronted them a few times but they still do it! One morning I decide I am going to lay out in my driveway so I change into my bikini and get my lounge chair. I open my door and there is my neighbors' car, the front of his car in my driveway and the back in his! So I knocked on his door and it took him almost 10 minutes to even realize I was there! He knew what I was going to say so he ran to get his car keys and fix his parking job and he kept saying sorry I didn't know anyone was home, blah blah. I said to him that is doesn't matter who is home, its my driveway and that if he wanted to park in my driveway I will charge him money!

Another time I went to lay out, the dad was washing is car in his briefs! Not attractive! He could've at least put on pants!

The younger of the two sons is crazy. Each of our houses had 2 floors and a basment. On the back of the house there is a porch on top of the garage. One day the younger son jumped off the porch! He ended going to the hospital and returning with a broken arm! The younger son is also very friendly which is good but whenever my family is out back bbq'ing he comes over and asks for food. His mom never stops him and just says he loves it, it smells so good! We don't mind sharing but everytime? And with you? The people who park in our parking spaces?

The parents decided to get chickens and had them in their backyard. Supposedly the chickens were purchased to use in a ritual to heal their son after he jumped of the porch. Also they had a rabbit that they forgot to bring it when it got colder and one of my sister and my brother had to get it back into its cage so the stray animals wouldb't attack or try to eat it.

Thats all for now!

I have a good one. I was living in a dorm for my very first time and the girls in the room next to me loved to play some really loud irritating music when i was trying to study. BF was with me and so he threw a shoe at the wall to make her stop.Instead, she started screaming. She turned her gross music up higher and BF did it again. This time she screamed louder and started pounding on my front door so hard it was shaking in the doorjam. She then went back to the window (that faced the quad) and started screaming what a dirty gross ***ch I was and how nasty I was.

And then this girl had nerve to come over a bit later and ask me if she could use some tampons. WTF?
