Do you have any crazy neighbor stories?

I remember one time my neighbor got so nosey that my mother literally had to pick her up and remove her from our property. That woman was well over 200lbs too! 😂

Had a Jehovah family 2 houses down. I was bored and did play a lot of high death metal and 666.
Put up a big flag with Ozzy holding a sign that said "To hell" where he is trying to hitchhike.

He kept putting small verses of the bible on my cats collar.

Later that summer when we had a neighbourhood bbq street party I got to speak with him.

He was a former heavy metal singer with his own scene in their house, had converted after meeting his wife. So I had not managed to annoy him. He was enjoying it. A really cool guy.

The other neighbour was a cop. Same street right next to us.
During a party of his, he was drunk and out of liquor. He knew my dad was making homebrew that is illegal. So as a cop, he did not want to go and ask.

So he did send his little brother (That also was a cop. Drunk logic I guess). We got then invited over to come and party with them.

I was 17 at the time. And legal drinking age for beer and whine is 18. They got me drunk on my dad's booze and found out they wanted to cut my hair.

Had hair down almost to my lower back, so did not want too. So got more to drink to help the decision. Woke up next day with 1mm all over the head.

Not directly crazy. But fun people.

Get a load of what my weirdo neighbor posted in our laundry room...

[Asker]

😂 wtf

[WhiteSteve]

Dude, this guy had his own security cameras mounted outside of his upstairs window when we first moved in. He also almost never leaves his place, like he doesn’t seem to have a job, he’s probably in his 50s, kind of roughly looks like Walter White even lmao, he has all his windows blocked with curtains, and a “Just Say No To Drugs” bumper sticker on his front door. This dude left us a RIDICULOUS note about noise too, once. My girlfriend was watching TV upstairs at night and it was disturbing him. Left us a note explaining the walls were thin, etc, absolutely no problem with that, I don’t want to be disturbing anyone. BUT... along with the note, he left this separate list of noise rules that “Dave (former landlord) sometimes forgets to give new tenants”, and it’s this list of very noise-specific stipulations, clearly typed in the same font, ink, same grammatical idiosyncrasies... like this dude was clearly trying to get shit exactly how he wanted it. “Please do not run up and down the stairs, it sounds like a bass drum in the next apartment!” I’ve lived in a lot of apartments, I have NEVER seen rules & regulations written in a conversational manner. The new owner of the building removed his cameras lmfao, not sure if they were operational or just dummies. He supposedly works in the security system business, but like I said, this dude is home all day, everyday, I’ve only seen him leave and come back with groceries. Maybe he has family money and doesn’t need to work if he lives a simple life, in which case, good for him. But I’m just saying: there are 8 apartments in this townhouse, and every one of us seems to have a job or at least a life. The days I work from home, it’s just his car and mine outside all day. They installed new doors with windows at the top, so you can see inside the apartments... he had a curtain over his the first day.

If anyone is cheffin’ it up, that guy is the most suspect of anyone here, lmfao

When my new neighbour first moved in - I would leave the house about 4 times a week to go to church and the grandma started saying she thought I might be a prostitute or drug dealer because I would leave the house every night but not leave the house during the day. At the time I was taking classes in university and spent most of my day light hours at home doing homework. I was very angry about this. I once ran into my other neighbours cause I have two neighbours and he asked me where I was going - I said I was coming home from church and he asked me if I was being honest with him about where I had been.

Later two bad things happened to the family that slandered me

- They got robbed while WE were on vacation
- They paid tens of thousands of dollars for a vacation in Turkey and they couldn't go because Isis and Syria began fighting more and they couldn't get of their cancelled vacation money back

To me God is saying
"I know they slandered you - and I am robbing them of cash - because they robbed you of dignity and reputation."

[StingRayxoxo]

I was going to ask a question like this!

[Asker]

😂 Did those happen to you?

[StingRayxoxo]

No but I ran across them and thought it would be funny to ask!

[Asker]

You should still ask!

[rjroy3]

My old neighbor across the street.
Some kids in the neighborhood littered his front yard with rocks. Were all over the grass. When he got home he talked to them to get them to pickup his yard. The kids told him me and a friend of mine did it when we were smoking cigars out in my yard.

He took them at their word and with 100% belief told us to pickup his yard lol. We didn't see who did it, but all we knew is either the kids did it and lied or they just blamed somebody because this man was being irrational about it. Told him we didn't do it and not sure who did. He angrily said, "well WHOEVER did it. It would be NICE if they picked it up!". He stormed back to his home and slammed the door. He had a wife and daughter in the home. Saw his daughter walk outside to pickup some of the rocks. Probably because her dad was being a douche. Out of sympathy for the daughter I helped her with some of it.

But that man was livid about that for days on end. Super irritable guy. Scoffed at me anytime he saw me after. The rocks didn't get fully picked up for like a month because he finally was willing to clean his own yard.

[Alice2398]

So, so many

Everytime me and my family would go on holiday my next door neighbour would cut down are rose bush because he didn't like it. One year my dad had enough of it, he tried to fix the problem because he made such a pigs ear of cutting it down and my neighbour who's the worst gardener you'd ever seen it's funny asked if my dad needed any help. My dad shouted at him and told him to fuck off and that he knew it was him. He denied all knowledge of it but the whole family was rooting for my dad because my neighbour was a real dickhead.

Also the people who lived opposite us had a really troubled son and he owned his ex girlfriend money so she got a gang of people to harass the street at night, they throw bricks through are windows and scratch up are cars.

On the new street we live on, people are constantly parking on are drive and my mum the bad ass she is blocked the drive way and posted copies of the legal documents basically saying We owned the land through are neighbours doors. One guy who nobody likes called my mum a nasty lady and they mum made him look a massive idiot. She also puts big cactus plants because my next door neighbour likes to park right up against our kitchen window so every time he gets out it hurts him. The whole family are so fucking weird once the threw a chocolate bar over are fence once when they were having a family argument. They also a child that likes to scream and attack people at night so that's always nice too.

When I was really little we had small farm behinds us and he liked to burn tyres so all the smoke would go into my bedroom when I was sleeping and had the windows open, my mum ended up complaining to the police because I was a very sick baby and he just didn't care.

A man who lived up the street was always somewhat odd. I had never seen him leave his house but often saw him peering through the bottom of his second floor window.

One day as I walked past his house I noticed a group of neighbors chatting opposite his house.

Curious, I approached them and asked what all the commotion was about.

Apparently the night before, the strange man had been standing under the street light howling at the sky like a wolf... completely nude...

He was arrested and we never saw him again.

[Poppymarie]

Well, first off when I was a kid, there was the time that an older boy in the neighborhood bullied me and his mom attacked mine when she calmly explained the situation. Oh, she also called the cops on my mom afterwards.

Then there were the neighbors who would have lawnmower races on the street at 1 am on Wednesday’s. That actually looked kinda fun. Too bad they never invited us lol.

But the craziest by far was when the neighborhood heroine dealer/prostitute had some “customers” over who pulled a gun. Nobody was shot, but the cops came. She also started a big argument with one of our other neighbors that same night but I don’t remember the details of that. Unfortunately no one from that house was arrested for at least another year.

Well the first week I moved into my new house, baring in mind it was Christmas Eve, my parents were over to see the house and I'd never met my neighbours. My male neighbour came bashing on my door so obviously I answer to him screaming in my face how he's been living there 7 years, I parked in his space, how dare I take his space and how 'he's going to bomb my car like he did the last tenants' (baring in mind my boyfriend's brother rented the house just before us so I know that was a lie, but his brother also warned us he was a druggie who used to watch him and his girlfriend have sex through their windows) so anyway given I had family over and I'd never met this guy I wanted to shut the door. Led to a massive argument as I'm stubborn and I'm not having some stranger threaten to bomb my car, so my dad ended up just taking my car.

[Lance1965]

Had a neighbor that put his fist through my front door.
Had neighbors that would call the cops over the smallest of things.
Had neighbors complain over loud music even in the middle of the day.
Had a neighbor that would watch my every movement.
Had a neighbor that would try to have sex with me while her hubby was at work.
Had a neighbor that would beat his dog so I jumped the fence and stole his dog. That ended up in a court case which I won.
Had a neighbor that would try and shoot other neighbors cats.

[Bismarck_96]

I once lived in a city where my neighbors from across the other street would challenge my other neighbors across their street to Roman candle fight even if it wasn’t 4th of July they’ll just chase each other shooting Roman candles at each other

My neighbors cat was missing and the only Asian in our block was picked on by my neighbors for “eating” their cat

I then moved to a ranch type house with a few acres and my neighbors were like 2mins from walking I remember that in every weekend like 10at night or 9-11AM they’ll be having blank fights (blank rounds used in guns) they didn’t quit playing around till someone actually got hurt

[Bismarck_96]

I also had weird neighbors with their household names staring with an
“R”

Rodrigo
Rosa
Regina
Rosario
Robert

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I had a neighbor who handed my Mom ( late)
a rake and garbage bag cause our leaves from
our tree was going over on her side of the street
and my mother went out and cleaned our leaves
up yes i know i should of went out to do it and this
woman claimed to be a Christian and lived for God
she said , God healed her Diabetes so she took no
medicine for it. Yes this woman was real loony.

[VeggieCalzone]

This fucking fat lady called the cops on my other neighbor they both live across the street from me. She called the cops saying he was stalking her looking at her through her window which he wasn't. He spoke up when their dog went to the bathroom on his lawn so she lied and called the cops on him. The cops knew better and squashed it but it was fucked up.

[Anonymous]

We had a German alcoholic neighbor when I was growing up who lived upstairs from our apartment. Once during one of his drunken nights he drew a gigantic swastika on our apartment door. When he finally died a few years ago his wife moved out of the place. She gave my mom a tea set as a present. Probably to make amends and indirectly apologize for her imbecile husband of hers who hopefully is in hell now.

[morimeme1]

Well, our neighbours called us nazis, then one time I watched a whole event of out neighbour burrying her tv, but poorly so that one corner stuck out of the ground and she tripped on it. Highlight of that summer.

[Maddyjojo_1798]

I had a neighbor down the road who would walk every morning and he was an older man. Probably around 60’s. But one day my family and I noticed he was jerking off while he was walking and then we noticed it was an every day thing

[ZeussLightningBolt]

JESUS!

Well... yesterday my neighbor from across the street was burning off grass with propane. She could have lid the entire neighborhood on fire.
If anyone else on the street did that, she would rat them out to the police.

[cth96190]

I could fill a book with the antics of the people who have lived in my street during the pas 30 years.
Rural living attracts the crazies.

[Asker]

Which would be on the first page?

[cth96190]

@Sonorous
Possibly the couple who lived on the property beside me.
There were numerous incidents between us, but the funniest involved them and another neighbour.
I will call them neighbours A and B.
One night neighbour A broke into neighbour B’s house, stood beside his bed, and woke him with a tirade about the behaviour of B’s dog.
B’s response was to grab his shotgun.
A ran for his life up the street, in gumboots, pursued by a naked B who was barefoot. The difficulty caused by sharp rocks slowed his pursuit and prevented him getting a working sight picture of A in the darkness.
A reached his door, which his wife had locked and refused to open.
Her response was: “No, he’ll kill me too.”
Talk about throwing her husband under the bus.
A fled into the bush, pursued by the naked B, who fired poorly aimed shots and reloaded the shotgun from a bandolier that he had slung across his body.
The pursuit ended after B had exhausted his ammunition. 🤣

[Secret6620]

Just that they have 7 kids and they run around like wild animals with no leash. They run around peeing everywhere. It's so stupid.

[Tanyasuperior]

One time we had a neighbor who would turn up the music real loud at bedtime. We lived in an apartment that time. My boyfriend at the time went threatening him. That helped.

[WhereAmI]

Like my past neighbor who put drywall screws in my tires 4 times? No, not really. 🙄

[Asker]

Omg 😱 What happened?

[WhereAmI]

She moved out thankfully when I put in the video cameras. She was bold enough to key my truck right in front of my eyes. Cops wouldn't do anything since it was my word against hers. It all came from the idea that she had the right to park wherever she wanted (partially in my spot) and to throw snow in my parking spot. as well. The woman was mentally ill. She once had a rodent chew threw her car wiring and she thought if she parked it outside her door she would catch them!

[JohnAlaska43]

A huge chimney fire the fire station came two naked elderly guys were in the tub. needless to say the fire department got the shock of their lives.

[JohnAlaska43]

When I lived in a small town our nieghbor worked for the small post office.
My dad and her had a feud she would call the cops on dad when he would be drunk riding on the riding lawn mower in his underware.
She would always yell at him when she had parties.
My dad called her mayor.
She would come and throw trash sticks and rocks on our lawn.
She drove on our lawn,
She would send her dog to pee on my dads truck.
My dad hit her fence with his lawn mower becuase of a stick,
She threw a chair at him.
He broke her living room window. She cut three of our apple trees down dad kicked in her garage door, They did so much damage she finally put a whole fence over her property to not see us. Both were in jail over the damage they did.

[caesarsalad77]

I had one who had a shoot out with the cops because they got called for a domestic crazy

[Asker]

Did anybody get hurt? 😱

[caesarsalad77]

Just the guy who was shooting at them cops they got him in the head he survived it and he went to prison

[Starshine85]

One of my neighbours waters his garden in the rain. Not joking! This includes his grass.

[Starshine85]

There was another time when my mum got an ocarina type instrument that you blew in and the birdwatcher next door thought it was an unusual sounding bird. This tease went on for a few days. There was one time she sang and it sounded so weird. She had 5 cats and my dad said 'are you sure that's not a cat?'

[Starshine85]

Just remembered the weird relationship a neighbour had with a couple in the estate. I don't know why but they would leave each other weird things as surprises. Once my neighbour found a toilet outside her door. She put some soil and plants in it. In return she snuck in their garden and hung a really big bra on their washing line. And the neighbour found some plastic dinosaurs on her doorstep from them once... 🤷
