Strange and slightly annoying neighbors.

I lived next door to some backyard breeders. They started with 2 pit bulls who produced a litter, then the littermates reproduced. Periodically the animal control would come by and ask for proof of vaccination and most of the dogs would disappear, then another litter would be born and off we'd go again. They once had 2 cars parked in their backyard for several months; turned out, they belonged to the woman's sons and she was keeping them while the sons were in jail. I was really glad to move away from that neighborhood.

There was another neighbor there that worked on cars in his driveway. There was a divorce, and the house was foreclosed. The guy stripped the copper out of the house, all of the appliances - even the A/C unit and water heater. The county bought the house and turned it into a group home for mentally challenged young men. They were some of the best neighbors I had.

My neighbor directly across the street painted the entire length of his curb property red so that no one can park in front of his house.

My pain in the butt neighbor doesn't seem so bad anymore

We lived in RV Parks for 12 years. We got all kinds of weird and crazy people in there.... 

There was the 2 brothers (they had the spaces right next to us)  that we drug addicts and drunks that wanted to pick fights with all the people who lived in the park. The one brother got put in jail and the other brother decided to get wasted and walk through the park picking fights with people. I was at a neighbors house and as I walked through the park to my trailer I saw him try to pick a fight with a couple people and then he staggered around for a while. When I got to my house I called 911. nut sell version is that the cops came he was outside and he didn't want to talk to the cops so he staggered into his trailer the cop knocked on his door and the guy sent his big mean dog out in attack mode. the cop was already as far away from the door as possible and the door was flying through the air in full attack mode going right for the cops throat when the cop shot the dog. the guy did go to jail. the dog didn't die. another neighbor took the dog to the vet. 3 days later the guys brother comes home and starts telling people that I was the one who called the cops on the brother and got their dog shot and he was going to kill my dogs (at the time I had 2 dogs) We moved 1 week later. 

fast forward a few years. We lived in a nice RV park and we didn't get very many weirdos in there but we had a few. There was 1 older guy that came in had the sight next to us. he would place his folding chair so that when he sat in it he faced my door. If I opened my door he would be looking right at me. he sat there like that for hours. I could let my dogs out. I had to leash them at the time and I would stand in my door way and let them out in my space. they didn't spend that much time outside (mostly to potty and that was it) I could see the guy out my windows and he just sat there and stared at my door for hours. no sunglasses on so I could see that he was staring at my door. It creeped me out. I  was glad when he let. I asked the park manager how long he was staying. she said 4 months. I told her what he was doing and she said nothing she could do about it.  2 months later he moved.  thank god he didn't last the whole 4 months. he was creepy... 

My neighbour had 3 cats who were all pregnant at the same time, they spent more time in my house than hers. One of them went up to my bedroom and had her kittens right there behind my curtains! Although I wanted to keep them at my house I felt I should tell her. She came and collected the cat and kittens. About 4 weeks later, I guess, when they were allowed out, I found 3 adult cats and 10 kittens on my decking trying to get into my kitchen! For the next few weeks they virtually lived in my garden. I guess they just preferred me :-). She moved house a few weeks later. I missed them little things so much.

Some interesting neighbors we all seem to have! Ours built an all glass greenhouse on his property about 5 years ago and when the wind blows just right we know what he is growing (and smoking) over there. If he isn't smoking he has a beer bottle in his hand. Walking around the yard and driveway shirtless with his beer gut hanging out. His wife is nice but all she does is complain about her kids and she doesn't understand why they are always getting in trouble! Has she met her husband? She works all the time but we never see him leave the house hardly at all. Except for the few times when he will pull out of his driveway in the morning just before I leave for work and he drives 15 miles an hour down to the convenient store to pickup - you guessed it - more beer.

When we bought our house, my husband left for work at 7 AM,(he takes the commuter rail) before me, and arrived home after me, usually at 8PM. But, he was always running late, so always left the house and literally ran down the street towards the train station. I often wondered what the neighbors thought - here was a guy who left the house at break neck speed every morning (almost like he was escaping from a kidnapping), but never appeared to return...only to flee the house the next day!

We got new neighbors a few yards after we moved in. The man who lived there mentioned to me as I was raking the leaves from the front lawn that he hated trees because he hated having to rake leaves. Okay, that's your right. The following spring, he had all the trees from his yard cut down. Erm....okaaaaay. It's your property. A few weeks ago, I hear a funny noise, and I look out, to see him trying to pull up his front shrubs by tying them to his pickup and backing up. It didn't work too well - he got one out, but left it in front of his house, sadly laying on it's side. This weekend, I noticed ALL his shrubs have been pulled up and taken away. I fully expect him to lay pavement over the grass next.

Let's see...one of my neighbors has been known to get high and then walk up and down the hall in her undies. Whoever lives with her will light up incense, set it in the hallway and then smoke weed in the hallway. Occasionally she removes everything in her apartment and sets it in the hall.

Random furniture also ends up in the hall sometimes. Someone once set up an arm chair and end table near the stairs, like they wanted to sit in the hall and read.

I'm in the process of moving. I just need the deposit (hoping for a bunch of etsy sales to come through) on the new place and I'm out of here.

My neighbour sweeps my front lawn after we have mowed it.

Our lawn mower has a bag attached to collect the clippings, but not every blade of grass will make it into that bag.

He comes over with his broom and sweeps the grass toward his driveway, then he sweeps the clippings into a dustpan. We are talking about a very small amount of clippings. It doesnt matter if we rake the lawn after we mow, he still wants to sweep it.....just to be sure. You never know when a strong gust of wind will come along and blow a few blades of grass into his driveway.
