Does anyone have.....

weird neighbors?

 

I sure do!!!!    They never come outside, never say a word to DH and I, they will run in the house if they hear me or DH go out in the backyard. 

They have also called the HOA on us for silly reasons.  For example, DH had a pallet on the side of the house for our fire pit, within 24 hrs we had a notice in our box saying a neighbor had complained.

 

No matter what time it is, their outdoors lights are on.  I feel like breaking them!!! 

 

 OK, anyone have weird neighbors?

Re: Does anyone have.....

  • haha Do you think they're peeking out their windows at you all the time??

     

    Our neighbors straight across the streets are dealers or tweakers or both, I think. They're weird, there's always a ton of people coming in and out, and they always look super hillbilly-ish. Then one of our neighbors next to us I have NEVER seen!!! Never in the 19 months living here! WTH?!? Never hear them, never see them, know nothing about them.

  • ^^^^^^^LOL!

     

    We have opposite floor plan so when I look out my kitchen window I am looking into their kitchen window.  So, I always wonder if they are peaking in my bedroom and whatnot...lol

     

     

     

  • OMG YES!!

    Our neighbors to the west are a husband, wife and jr high/early high school aged son. With a twist. The dad is a quadriplegic who tools around the neighborhood in his motorized wheelchair to find sweet, innocent people to prey upon. He's ALWAYS conning people into working on his car for him, because he has a wild hair up his butt about rebuilding a POS 'classic' car. And since he can't physically do it he gets all of the men in the neighborhood to do all the work for him.

    Our neighbor to the east is a douchebag. If we're out front when he drives home he'll close the garage door before he gets out of the car, so we haven't ever shared words with him. AND we realized about 6 months ago that there was a horrible stench coming out of his yard. H peeked over the fence and saw that his trash can was full of rank, fermenting water. For 6 months we've been keeping a close eye on his trash can and he still hasn't pulled the can to the curb. Seriously, he hasn't dragged his trash to the curb even once since we started watching. He's a single guy, but he has got to be generating at least some garbage, right? I am desperate to peek in his windows and see what the inside of his house looks like, but he has a huge dog and I'm scared. Oh, and the horrid stench went away when the rank water in his trash can evaporated (THANK GOD cuz it was gross).

  • haha that's halarious! They're probly peepin' Toms over there! ;) Can you ever see them in the kitchen or anywhere else?? Maybe they're hiding something over there!  lol

    The windows are always closed and so are the blinds.. I have never seen the windows open!

    The AC also runs 24/7

    we STILL don't have up window treatments in our bedroom and I am pretty sure we are (ahem) giving a show to our northern neighbors...::blushing::

  •  Sommer, they must have their house set on 60 degrees! Do you ever see any visitors at their place? I've never seen any at my recluse neighbors house!

     

     Mrs.D - your single guy east neighbor sounds sooo shady! Also sounds like he might be a hoarder. I am addicted to the hoarders show and I've seen ones where they pretty much stop taking out trash cuz it's just around the house! Maybe that's why he avoids you!! :-D Just my neighbor speculations!

    ha!  That's hilarious! 

  • All of our neighbors are weird!  Despite this, the neighborhood stays nice, so I can't complain.  Almost all of them keep to themselves, which is fine by us.  But these two take the cake:

    On the west side of us and directly across the street, both are single men in the mid/late 40's.  One sits in his driveway in a folding lawn chair for no reason, the other leaves his front door wide open while attempting to play Eagles songs on his guitar.  They wash thier cars or do yardwork at the same time-- in nothing but swim trunks, blasting classic rock.  It's the total mid-life crisis showdown.  One of them used to have a small skidoo boat, he washed it almost daily and we'd see him tow it up to Starbucks on the corner, but he'd rarely be gone more than 30 minutes with it.  I'm pretty sure he never took it on the lake, just drove around with it, trying to look cool.

    Never!  I am pretty sure they have dead bodies in there or something.  Their backyard looks like a damn jungle too!

    I'm laughing so card I'm crying -- oh my! 

  • It seems to me that the only neighbors i have that are odd are the ones across the street... So directly across the street dude feels the need to park like he drove up drunk with half a tire on the drive way and the rest pointed in some odd direction in the rocks...  Then his next door neighbor they are a husband and wife that we found out that they are/were swingers and then seperated for a while then got back together and now it looks like they are seperated again because one wants to stop the swinging and the other doesn't... it is just odd because the wife runs a dacar out of her home part time along with another neighbor who seem comepletly normal...

  • I'm pretty sure our some of our neighbors turn us into the HOA for random stuff, because we're by far the youngest people on our block and I think they think we're renters.  We get notices from the HOA alllll the time, and our nice neighbors next to us don't, even though they'll have weeds too or whatever.  Dumb.

    Our neighbors on the north of us are strange.  I've never met the woman but she tailgates me all the time if we leave the neighborhood at the same time.  The guy will come over and try to make conversation, but he's just one of those socially awkward people.  Like I was in the garage painting a piece of furniture, and he came over, stood there, and said "so you're painting that?  you want it black?"  Um, no, I didn't really want it black, I just decided to spend all this time painting it for no reason. 

    He also told us he got rid of his dogs because they barked too much.  That made me want to cry!

  • Our neighbors aren't weird per se, they are just really old retirees and not very friendly at all.  No one has introduced themselves or said hello since we moved in (6 months ago...).

    They probably resent having two teenagers living near them, not to mention all the construction noise and debris probably doesn't help either.

  • Mine put their dog outside, chained to the water valve of all things. It just happens to be right by our bedroom too, so it's nice to try napping with a dog barking right at the window.

    If it doesn't have water or shade call animal control!  That's a good way to make them move it!!
