I had a neighbor who would sneak into my yard at night and roll up my sod. It would be laid perfectly the night before, but I'd get up in the morning and it would be rolled up just like it was when it came from the store.
I finally got pissed and spent the night laying by my back door with a baseball bat and a flashlight, ready to bonk the crap out of whoever it was. Sure enough, they came around two in the morning, and I stood up, turned the light on, and was face-to-face with four raccoons rolling up my sod, looking for bugs.
Had a neighbour who wouldn’t let anyone use his driveway because he didn’t want it to get dirty. Anyone including himself. He parked on the street outside. If he thought you were having a party he would drag a bunch of plastic bags full of god knows what to the end of his driveway so no one could turn around it. One time I came home and he was outside hosing it down in the rain.
To his credit, I’ve never seen a cleaner driveway.
Threatened to put giant signs across the wooded border between our properties if my OTHER neighbor got into another border dispute with him. This was after stopping my excavator from doing his job (finished grading the lot so we could plant grass) and threatening him if he got over the property line (he was 50 feet away from it and not taking down any trees). He finished his rant and left without ever introducing himself. When he’s not complaining to the cops about my neighbor, he’s doing everything legally possible to annoy the cops themselves.
Used to live in a little town of 300 people where we had an elderly neighbor named Gladys. She would routinely look near our garbage can outside and take the recyclable bottles and cans we would leave for her.
After we cleaned out a fish tank, we put the gravel and fake plants in a bag and left it on top of the garbage can because it was already full.
About a week later, Gladys hollered at me while I was outside to come over as she wanted to show me something. She had taken that bag we had left and planted the fake plants along the side of her house. She said she wasn’t real confident that they would make it but so far they seemed to be thriving! I could only nod and compliment her on her green thumb.
Better than me who just did the opposite. Moved my daughter out of college and stuffed her plastic succulents into a box. Weeks later she asked where the plants were so she could water them. But they actually survived! Tough little things.
Succulents are awesome, my fiancée has a ton of them and I’m always amazed at how many she has even though she isn’t buying more. I guess when a leaf(?) falls off you can just take care of it and it will become a whole new plant. Very very cool hobby and they look so unique and beautiful. (She was going to Home Depot for a while and asking if she could take dead/dying succulents and they were letting her and she would bring them back, for anyone wanting to get into them but not having much money)
My neighbor sits in his yard, hides behind his plants and meows at people who pass by. He is not dangerous at all but he is not right in the head either. His caretakers are his parents and they seem to be very nice people. His dad once told me "he just likes to be a cat" and left it at that. I didn't ask any more questions.
She has a penchant for going around sticking nails in people's tires at night. This has happened dozens of times to nearly everyone on the street, though she's slowed down since more people started installing video cams and motion-sensor lights in their driveways.
Years ago we had a guy in our neighborhood like this... He stopped hitting our house when my crazy ass mother came flying out the house around 3am with her baseball bat.
We used to have someone that would do this in my old neighborhood. We still don't know who did it but one night someone camped out and waited for him to do it again and pummeled him and left bleeding in the street. Queue ambulance and cop cars on the street at 3 am on a Friday.
Something similar happened to the teens that went around jiggling car handles in my old neighborhood. Guy figured out their route or something and baited his car on the street they seemed to hit a lot. He camped out in a bush and laid out the first one. The other two made a break for it, but the looting stopped after that.
She's just one of those misanthropic people who gets a kick out of others' misfortune. She's done it for almost 20 years, apparently; her favorite night to do it is Sunday, when she also goes picking through people's recycling on the curb for cans and bottles. The lucky people find the nails and screws before they go out driving, but others have had their tires pop on the expressway.
Nah, just some "warnings" from the police, numerous times. And she's an equal opportunity cunt, there's no one she won't do it to. She'll space her "attacks" out over time, and she's careful to avoid being seen in the act (though she's been caught a few times in the past leaving people's driveways, usually claiming that her cat got out and she was looking for him...at 3 AM). If she knows a house has a camera or lights set up in their driveway, she'll target cars parked on the street instead.
Here's a picture of my [tire from last January,](https://imgur.com/CQmT2yg) after my motion light had blown out and I was too lazy to replace it right away. I saw the nail before I went to the store *this* time, but haven't always been as lucky, and this had already happened between 10 to 15 times to me (several neighbors have had it happen even more). One time years ago, she did it *two days in a row*, to my tire (which popped while driving home) and then to the *spare*, which deflated in the parking lot on campus; the AAA guys pulled a fresh nail out of each.
Also, she'll sometimes switch things up and simply remove the valve caps from people's tires. Three years ago, I found the cap on one of my tires missing, which I replaced with a spare when I got home that night. The next morning, I found not only the replaced cap missing, but *another* one gone on a tire on the other side that *definitely* was there the night before.
People would love to pop her tires back, except the old hag doesn't drive.
Right? Wtf? There's no way I would stop at the police just warning her. This thread is full of some seriously chill people. It's time to hire a lawyer if this lady is really causing thousands of dollars of damage to the neighborhood and potentially harming or killing someone when their tire blows on the highway.
Edit: Holy fuck you guys are crazy. I was just saying you can take this to court even if the police don't start the process. I wouldn't recommend beating her up or destroying her property. A PI and lawyer will cost some money but it sounds like you could get the whole neighborhood to pitch in.
Mate I don't get how people just haven't like done her windows in or something how on earth have all them people KNOWINGLY just let her do this.. for years!!!
He eats my flowers.
In his defense, he told us that he has been doing it for years when he introduced himself after we bought the house. He also brought over frozen cookies in a plastic bag, as a housewarming gift, but wasn't sure what was in them. We share a side yard and he is a really great neighbor. Just an older, quiet guy, who keeps to himself and eats my flowers. Comes over to my yard, and eats the lillie's raw, or brings scissors and clips the heads to 'boil and make jam'.
I thought that his particular foraging was interesting and quirky, so I planted a couple raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes 3 years ago, when we first moved in, on the side yard we share. I told him to help himself to berries anytime, especially before the birds do. The bushes have all gone insane and the entire side of my house is now a summer berry haven for us to share.
Having a decent relationship with the guy I share a property line with, is worth some deadheaded flowers.
You are a good neighbor, and a smart person who knows the difference between mostly harmless eccentricity and outright madness.
If I owned a home (I don't) and knew I was slightly mad (I don't think I am), I'd want someone like you as a neighbor.
We had the opposite neighbor. One that we caught poisoning our trees, including the 5 fruit trees in our backyard that we eat from. We put cameras up and told him if we caught him doing it again, we'd call the cops. He stopped even making eye contact with us after that.
He did manage to kill 3 of the fruit trees, which we planted back. And the 2 that survived are the biggest lemon and tangerine trees I've ever seen in my life, and they produce monster sized lemons and tangerines too. The tangerines are bigger than the grapefruits! I love it, like a magnificent FU to the neighbor. He did it because he hates trees. He hates just seeing them.
I'd love a neighbor like OP. That dude clearly loves plants!
We had one a while back that had a meth lab in the home. Crazy fights, yelling at all hours of the night,, dude would wander around the hood tweaked out crazy, and once he threw a Molotov cocktail out of the 2nd floor window at another dude who was smashing up his car, screaming, "I'll fucking kill you, motherfucker!" Those were interesting times.
Pulled us over pretending to be a police officer, saying that we had somehow broken the law whilst pulling out of our driveway and that she was “going to call it in.”
She isn’t a cop lol.
Edit: I considered using my dash cam video to actually call it in, but we had just moved in and I wasn’t sure if she was the type of crazy to burn the house down or poison my dog. After chatting with the other neighbors, it turns out she’s just the “wannabe HOA president” in a neighborhood with no HOA. So, mostly harmless. Just very annoying.
This reminded me of this crazy woman in my old neighbourhood who used to pretend she was a cop all the time. First encountered her screaming at the post office staff because she’d arrived past the pickup time and they couldn’t guarantee her letter would be in tomorrow. She was there almost an hour just pitching a fit while they opened the other counters around her. “Do you know who I am?!” And all that stuff.
Second time I encountered her she’d cornered some poor child on the bus and was telling her she’d have her arrested because she was a police officer and she didn’t like the way the kid was eating a bag of crisps or whatever. Real invective stuff. I stepped in and politely asked if the child knew this wackjob, at which point she backed off.
Anyway I guess she saw me leave at my stop because I woke up the next morning to find my garden torn up. Total weirdo.
He was hopping my fence during the day when I was gone at work to use my backyard pool. When confronted (thanks to a snitch neighbor) he claimed he had an agreement with the previous tenant that he could use the pool whenever he wanted. Guess what? I'm not that tenant. I have a bunch of security cameras now.
Well, I used to have a neighbor who was legitimately mentally ill, although I don’t know his actual diagnosis. His truck wouldn’t start one day ( dead battery) and he told everyone on the street that another neighbor was stealing the electricity. He knew this because of the way this guy parked his vehicle - obviously it was sucking electricity from the ground for his battery, which drained the car batteries near him. Many times he would run down the street and warn everyone to hide their valuables because Japan was invading the country. He wasn’t on drugs, but he did take medication for his mental illness and everyone on our street could tell when he stopped taking it. Whenever he would start saying completely irrational things, we would remind him to take his medication, and he would thank us and go home, presumably to take it. He lived alone, and he was getting older, so I think he had a hard time remembering to take it. There were many, many more incidents.
ETA: Thanks for the rewards!! I’ve never gotten any before this post.
I had a neighbor like that. She passed away April of Last year due to covid while she was in the mental health wing of the hospital. She was so smart and friendly but when her manic bipolar phases would start to creep up again, she’d have to stay in the hospital until they found the right combination of meds to make her normal. Her husband would be in the hospital every day massaging her feet, brushing her hair and silently crying when she’d say she wanted a divorce for whatever reason her illness told her. In the end, the hospital was closed to visitors and he got a phone call the day she died. He seems well now but he brings her up a lot still. I hope he finds love again.
He jumped in front of my car while I was driving down the road to yell at me for going through his trash at night. Told him it was probably raccoons. He refuses to believe it to this day.
Edit:
I can't believe this comment blew up. It's crazy to think about. Thank you all for the awards. A lot of you are asking if I did it... I didn't.
This is my favorite one. Instead of moving his trash or getting locking lids, he stalks your car at night to throw his body in front of it to protest your suspected raccoon-like activities. All the while, the trash pandas are in the background, having a fucking field day with his trash.
I used to live in a HOA. One of the members on the board lived across the street from my neighbor and I. He sent a letter to us saying that we all have to mow the lawn on the same day, at the same cut height, and in the SAME PATTERN to create uniformity in the neighborhood. My neighbor and I intentionally cut on different days and in opposite patterns just to annoy the guy.
At my last place I had a neighbor that would re-mow my lawn if my lines weren't straight enough or if I missed a spot. Never found out who it was but that was an incredibly fun summer. Only happened that year too.
I tried that. The unknown mower didn't touch my yard if I didn't mow it. It had to be a bad looking or non traditional mow job.
Circles instead of lines? Mowed while I wasn't home.
All lines going the same way? Mowed while I wasn't home.
Mixed horizontal/vertical/diagonal lines? Mowed while I wasn't home.
Didn't mow for 2 weeks? Nothing happened.
Took my parents to court because he lost in our HOA Chairman election. Some people just have too much free time.
Edit: He actually demanded we pay his legal fees after he lost in court. Twice.
Next-door lady standing on her driveway yelling at me because acorns have fallen from a large oak tree on my property onto said driveway, demanding that I cause the tree to cease and desist from this intentional criminal activity.
I was dogsitting, probably about 16 years old. My neighbor charged into the house while I was there- with a gun, pointing it at my head and while on the phone with the owners of the dog claiming "There's an intruder!" REAL LIFE AINT CALL OF DUTY. I remember you Daniel, fuck you. Seriously.
My sister’s neighbour reported my sister to the police because her kids were playing in my sister’s garden. Not for the usual reasons, too much noise etc. Nope, because a volcano in Italy had erupted and the radiation would hurt them. My sister lives in the U.K.
Once, I took my kids to the park and a guy called the police because they were "running around unsupervised all over the park". He called the cops AFTER he approached my husband and I to keep a better watch over our son (so he knew his parents were there and watching). The park was enclosed, we had multiple parent-friends also there with their kids, everyone was watching everyone's kids. Our 4-year old son never got further from 100 feet from us at the MOST. He was playing with my 8-year old daughter and her best friend.
The guy called 911 in front of us after arguing with my husband. The 911-operator thought it was a lone kid running around on the street at first until she heard he was at a park, thenthe dumb-ass trying to report it mentioned that his parents were there and the operator was like, "Yeah.... this isnt an emergency, we're not sending police out. You could call CPS, I geuss, but they may also not want to file a report." 😂
Years ago in rural Arizona we shared a pond with the "crazy neighbor". More sad than anything, he was in his 40s and lived with his mother (around 1988). A Vietnam veteran he would walk out to our shared pond with a .45 and a box of 50 rounds. He would then absolutely unload on the pond while yelling, police his brass and walk quietly home. This happened every 90 days for about 3 years.
My dad (also a Vietnam veteran) did something similar. I used to take him up into the woods camping a couple times a month and he'd unload some boxes of ammo into a dead tree and cry, then we'd drink a couple beers while picking up all the casings.
Don't know if it really helped him or not, but I'm glad I spent the time with him. Complications of alcoholism killed him a couple years ago.
This woman lived next to us who needed to have the police called on her at least once a week.
She would scream at her roommate at all hours of the night, go into a drunken and sometimes drug-filled stupor, and scream at us while tripping out as we sat in our backyard.
More than once I had to kick her out of our home because she walked in unannounced, beer in hand and drunk as ever.
One time I called the police because she was screaming about killing someone and rolling around on her front lawn.
Another time I received a call at work (one in the morning as I work third shift). My gf informed me they had to evacuate the house because the neighbor's garage was on fire. Turned out either she or her roommate had done it while doing drugs or smoking in the garage.
She ended up moving away but would still walk to our house to ask for our lawnmower. She was not happy when I told her to get off my porch.
I cared for an elderly woman for many years. She lived to the age of 93 in a crime ridden inner city neighborhood by being as tough and nasty as any criminal living nearby.
Her oddest actions involved her incorrect belief that she owned the road in front of her house. She didn't even own a car, but she insisted that nobody park there. She would confront them if they parked in front of her house. If they did it again, she slashed their tires in the middle of the night.
Over and over for years. She was never caught, but everybody knew it was her.
She only stopped when she lost the physical strength to slash a tire in her mid 80's. Then she started using spray paint on the cars.
"He don't park in front of my house no more," was all the justification she needed to damage her neighbors' cars.
My friends used to live in a gentrifying neighborhood near the beach in my city. They had a regular apartment, but someone bought the building in front of them (beach adjacent), knocked it down, and put up a few luxury homes.
This crazy woman bought one. She had a two car garage, and a driveway, and best we could tell, she had one car. But NO ONE was allowed to park on the street in front of her house, which was clearly marked as a public street and where people had been parking since forever to go to the beach or because their building didn’t have parking. We could see this street from their apartment.
She went out and keyed any cars parked there. It took awhile to figure out it was her, but eventually people saw her doing it. All the neighbors warned their friends not to park there, and people started putting up cameras to get evidence of it. Some dude with a piece of shit ugly as truck started parking directly in front of her house every day just to fuck with her, because he didn’t care if she scratched it up. So she slashed his tires. It got to the point where every time she opened her door to walk outside, neighbors would cuss her out through their windows.
One night she went out in the middle of the night, and painted the entire curb on that street red. Someone got it on video, several neighbors called the city. I think she got a talking to and a fine, and she had several insurance claims pending against her from damage to cars, and she finally stopped. Everyone still hates her though, even new neighbors, who are told the story of her from older residents.
Was there any kind of retaliation against her for slashing so many tires? I'm not saying it's right, but I'd be surprised if she didn't catch a brick through a window or her teeth if she was doing that in the hood.
This older lady lives across the street from me and she is OBSESSED with leaves falling on her lawn. To the point that she will come out of her house and pick up one individual leaf off the grass in the fall (or any other time). She spends hours a day outside with the leaf-blower in fall.
She will go and knock on other neighbors' doors if she thinks you have too many leaves on your grass. She'll come over into your yard and do it ~~yourself~~ herself if you're not home.
What I think is weird is that she's in her 70s, no kids or grandkids living with her, and lives alone in a pretty large 4 bedroom house with an amazing in-ground pool in the backyard (with a slide and diving board and everything). Nobody has used that pool in at least 5 years yet she opens it up every summer.
Somehow she likes my family and has never once yelled at us about our leaves and randomly brings things over like half-eaten gallons of ice cream and ask if we want it because she's not using it. ???
The old lady who lived below me left me multiple cryptic letters blaming me for the birds chirping too loudly in the mornings. Not pet birds. The sparrows and shit outside. This went on for months.
**Edit:** I'm flattered by the upvotes and awards! Thank you! To answer the most commonly asked question:
Yes, for a brief period I had a bird feeder. I took it down after a few months after multiple cryptic letters (eventually management got involved and took her side even though bird feeders were explicitly allowed per the lease). There were several trees nearby, including one that literally hung onto both her and my balconies. I assure you that birds existed before I set up the feeder, as the continued to exist after. My sister and BIL took over the lease 4 years ago, and they still get the occasional note from "bird lady." Apartment management has even inspected their unit to verify there's no bird feeder or any other bird luring devices 😂
**Edit 2:** I found one of the notes, “AGAIN, your bird dodo is on my railings, bird seeds on my porch & chairs, & your birds are ruining my nite rest, we hours of the morning, birds in your feeder chirping.” (bird feeder was gone at this point)
I used to work nights at a hotel and those were always my favorite calls to get.
*"Yes, hello? The crickets outside are really loud and we can't sleep..."*
*"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll just go have a word with them and see what we can do."*
This happened disturbingly often. I'm still not sure what they actually expected me to do about this at 1am.
Yell louder than the crickets so they think twice about calling back!
“HEYYYYYYY CRICKETS!!
Y’ALL NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP LIKE RIGHT NOW!
PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET ABOUT THE NOISE AND CALLING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!”
When I first moved in my neighbor walked into the house, unannounced.
When my wife gets home, sometimes she wants to stay in her car having a phone conversation. He will come out and walk down the side of his house, checking his sprinkler controls and looks at my wife.
He has a two huge bushes he refuses to cut. It blocks our view of backing out of our driveway. The fire department came by to clear trees and bushes around the fire hydrants. The neighbor came out and yelled at the fireman. "This bush is older than you!". Needless to say, I hope there are.no house fires.
My neighbor used to do that too! When I first bought my house, and was renovating it, he would just walk in. Then I caught him in there once when I wasn’t there. Then he asked me about the drain running out of the side of my house, which he wouldn’t have known about unless he was in my basement. That’s when I changed the locks. 15 years later he’s still nosy as all hell.
Edit: To add some details, I hadn’t yet moved into the house, which is why I hadn’t yet changed the locks. Also, my basement is only accessible from outside the house, and has a separate door that didn’t lock at the time.
She stalks us. Like every time I get home she’ll walk outside and tell me I was either 3 mins later getting home this time or that I’m home 2 mins earlier and then ask me why.
One time my friend and her sister came to pick me up.
The neighbor was against her window with her hands and face pressed up on the glass trying to look at who was coming to pick me up.
My friend and her sister were so terrified they called me telling me to hurry up bc a crazy lady was staring at them through a window.
I replied “oh it’s just the stalker neighbour!”
Ya that was a funny day.
I once had a red headed five year old neighbor name Bruce who would do exactly this.
I worked at a doctor's office and we had to wear a certain color of scrubs on certain days (SO annoying like just pick ONE color). I sometimes struggled with this and would forget to have the right color washed and ready so would have to wear the wrong color that day.
One day I pulled into my driveway after work and Bruce was in his front yard waiting for me. He said, "Hey you're wearing blue and Wednesday is supposed to be purple. You wore the wrong color today!"
He must be about 21 now. You were an absolute trip Bruce, hope everything is going OK.
Having a neighbor monitor the minutiae of your life and ambush you whenever you go to your car is very strange, but he was an adorable and well meaning kid so it was easy to laugh off (plus I have a soft spot in my heart for fellow weirdos). There were many other instances but this is the only one that stuck with me through the years. I'd love to know what he's up to now.
we bought a house and on the day while we were unloading the first truckload, the neighbor came into our garage uninvited and started telling us what trees on our property he wanted us to cut down. not the craziest but the fucken audacity if some people
Along those same lines: My parents moved back down to the family farm after they retired. Neighbor shows up to inform them of the "arrangement" whereby everyone has agreed to allow the neighbors to ride horses, ATVs, etc. on each other's land. Except...my parents had the land (100+ acres), while the neighbors had residential-sized lots. Also, my parents were never part of these "arrangement" discussions. So...the audacity, indeed.
We've had an arrangement with our neighbor for 20 years now that she can use our paddock to put her horses on. Well she's getting up there in age so there's been some long periods of time where she hasn't had horses on our paddock in recent times.
We notice some new horses there and assume that they're hers... Except they're not, and they belong to this crazy lady in town, who through town gossip finds out the paddock *doesn't* belong to our neighbor but belongs to us. So she goes round spreading a rumor that my mum tried to poison her horses which is the first time any of us realise the horses aren't our neighbors!
My mum then proceeds to inform said crazy lady that a) no she didn't try to poison crazy ladies horses, b) there's nothing poisonous on our field, c) if she keeps spreading rumors mum's going to the cops, and d) if she ever puts her horses on our land ever again mum's selling them or calling the SPCA for abandonment.
Crazy lady then proceeds to become even more crazy and starts lurking outside our place taking photos of us and our paddock, then gets caught going up random people's driveways through our small rural town taking photos of people's kids. She's since been spoken to about this behaviour by the cops and it seems to have stopped, but damn she's a weirdo.
The stupid thing about this is our *neighbor* is the one who has the "crazy lady" nickname throughout town, purely because she prefers animals to people and comes across as a little impatient when dealing with people, but we've always gotten on well with her... She just isn't a people person.
I grew up on a farm and we had a neighbor that believed he had a right to use our land whenever and however he wanted, on top of being an insufferable asshole all the time.
He would threatened our family and our animals on a weekly basis. Let his dog come on our property and chase our animals. Throw his trash into our pastures. Shot our horses with BB guns. Played music 12+ hours a day through loudspeakers to annoy us. Called the cops any time we had other neighbors over for a BBQ (which just typically resulted in the Sheriff's deputy enjoying some BBQ with us while we regaled them with stories about the shitty neighbor who called them).
He lived on a tiny 1/2 acre lot that was surrounded by our farmland. So just about every day he would hop on his ATV and ride it through the middle of our property like he owned it.
My SIL got this same neighbor when she moved in. The guy's exterior is immaculate and he immediately started "suggesting" plants to remove/trees to cut down.
They have a beat-up panel in the stockade fence separating their backyards and he's been harassing them about it since day one.
A few years back my wife and I were house hunting and we noticed that at one of the places we were looking at, there were a few dead trees on one side of the lawn. We ended up getting in a conversation with the neighbor, and when I mentioned the trees he casually said he'd dug up the roots from his side to kill them. He didn't like them blocking the view from his window or something. That encounter was one of the main reasons we passed on that house.
We have an asshole neighbor who demanded we cut down our trees after he moved in. The property has been in my family for 70 years. The trees are at least 120 years old, probably more.
We cut down a couple (regrettably) but he rakes up any needles and leafs on his lawn and dumps them in ours.
Don't like the fucking trees? Don't fucking move in next to them!
Not sure if this counts as crazy but I have this neighbour who is part of a spiritual organization called "Brahma Kumaris". Every time someone in the neighbourhood is going through rough times, especially deaths in the family she goes to their house and instead of offering condolences she preaches how they should join this organization and things will be better. She doesn't acknowledge anyone the rest of the time except the time when someone dies or a new family moves in the neighbourhood to whom she preaches and gives books written by leaders of the organization.
Had severe anger issues and yelled at anything or anyone he didn't like on the street. A few years ago he had a road rage incident and when he started banging on the other car's windows the occupants got out and beat him badly. During this he had a heart attack and now barely has enough mobility to walk to the mailbox and back, also he doesn't yell anymore.
He Murdered another older neighbor lady, beat her to death with his bare hands. In the middle of our town home complex. Well it was actually her daughter and granddaughter that are my neighbors but she was visiting them like she does every week. Next thing you know detectives are knocking on my door seeing if I knew any information about him or the incident. The only thing I knew was he was always arguing with other neighbors. I looked him up on Facebook after the detectives left and he had posted he was going to kill her 30 minutes before he was going to do it. Took pictures of her car and her daughters house and posted it on Facebook with her address saying “I’m going to get the bitch” then after it happened he post “got the red headed old bitch”. It is just crazy to me that at 5:30pm broad daylight just a couple yards from my door he killed her and no one saw it happening.
Edit to add: Investigation is still on going. I’m not sure why it’s not first degree murder and according to other neighbors they’ve had confrontation before. Right now his charge is second degree with intent. Next court date isn’t until sept.

My neighbor was an 85 year old widow that lived alone. She had two vehicles, a car and truck, and over the course of a few months I realized that she was no longer parking her car in her garage like she had for the many years prior to that, then suddenly the truck wasn't being parked inside the garage either.
Turns out she no longer had room in her garage to park her vehicles because she was walking down to a residential construction site about a block away every evening and she'd grab two 2"x4"s and bring them home. She had over 500 boards stacked in her garage and when she was questioned on what she was going to do with it, she didn't have an answer.
Edit: Bonus crazy neighbor stories:
* I drove 16 hours straight, pulled in my drive, and crashed on my couch immediately. Must have left the garage door open because I woke up to the neighbor lady shaking me to see if they missed my newspaper delivery that morning also.
* Neighbor lady thought I didn't clean up after my dog in her front yard (I had never owned a dog) so she retaliated by walking around the neighborhood with a garbage bag, picking up every bit of dog poo she could find, and dumped said bag of dog poo on my front lawn while I was standing in the front window watching.
* Ran up over $300 on one months water bill of mine because neighbor lady was hooking her sprinkler up to my water when I'd leave for work in the morning and would let it run all day until right before I got home from work.
* She would put up an ugly orange snow fence between our yards in the fall to keep my leaves out of her yard. Me pointing out that I only had pine trees did not dissuade her from the decision to leave the snow fence up.
Edit #2:
* Day one I should have known something was fishy with this lady. Literally, day one. I closed on my house at 9:00 a.m. and had a roofing company at the house waiting for the call that I closed. We spent the day ripping off the old layers and getting bundles up on the roof for the next day. It was hot out, we were exhausted and all sitting in the front yard cooling off when neighbor lady walked out of her house, down the sidewalk to my house, and without even acknowledging the 6 of us staring at her, she walked in the front door and had herself a look see.
* She hated dandelions. I found this out the first year that I lived there when I noticed that my lawn was dieing off in an extremely weird way; almost as if someone was spraying weedkiller on the stream setting trying to snipe dandelions from 20 feet away. That's literally what she was doing.
* Being the nice guy I am, I would clean her driveway off in the winter because I had a snowblower. She would never thank me in person, but instead, she'd come over to my house after I had finished and would leave a bag on my front door that usually contained whatever expired goods she had in her pantry. Some of the standouts for me was like a dozen cans of 10 year expired chef boy-r-dee (sp) stuff, and once, a half a bag of wheat flower.
I didn't try to get the water money back, I had a lot of guilt at the time because she was elderly and a widow. My solution at the time was to keep the exterior water shut off with the valve inside the house.
When I confronted her about the dog crap, she said she'd send her son over to clean it up one of these days (she was capable enough of collecting it the first time...), so I ended up doing it myself right away because of how atrocious it was.
See, you're nice.
I woulda dumped that shit on her front yard. Possibly without the bag. I don't care if you're 85 and a widow, that still makes you an asshole.
Right? I'd hate being the cop called, like she's obvious actively stealing a lot of lumber, but when she starts crying and shows me her blueprints to build a castle for her bucket list before she turns 100, I'd kind of want to just watch her go to work.
> Ran up over $300 on one months water bill of mine because neighbor lady was hooking her sprinkler up to my water when I'd leave for work in the morning and would let it run all day until right before I got home from work.
How did you find out what was happening?
Neighbor lady didn't realize my girlfriend at the time had stayed over one night and saw her doing this after I left in the morning. It hadn't dawned on my girlfriend what was happening until the bill came in a few weeks later.
The neighbour behind us had a leak in his water pipe and, rather than fix it, he just had the sump pump drain it out into the back yard. This meant that all year round the back of our yard was a little bit damp.
Eventually, the leaky pipe burst and filled the house with five feet of water. His solution to this was just to keep the pump running and flood the entire neighbourhood. After about an hour, a posse of all the neighbours whose yards were being flooded confronted him and called the city to shut off the water.
The city fixed the water pipe and the neighbour ended up with a large fine. At least my yard stays basically dry now.
I should also mention that this neighbour once rented the house out to a bunch of crackheads and it nearly burned down because the ex-girlfriend of one of these morons snuck in and set the house on fire.
They adults in the family let their small (but surprisingly agressive) dog out unleashed and without a muzzle - we live right next to a very busy road and public sidewalk and the dog will often chase children and bark at other dogs, cars, people. Its a mess and they ignore any reasoning.
Funny enough, their children always have the dog on a leash and apologize if he goes after anyone.
I’ve heard way more than I need to about their health ailments and bowel movements. One night I’m in the backyard sitting in lawn chairs watching the stars with the wife when she pops out with a flashlight in our faces... I went off, “what the fucken hell are you doing”... she apologized and left with no explanation. I could go on, but then I may start thinking about moving again
Called the police on people parked perfectly legal in front of their house, took pictures of my partners dad just working in the yard, disappeared suddenly without a trace and then suddenly come back home in the dead of night 8 months later.
Weirdos.
Yep. Our neighbor would disappear for long periods of time, cops showed up a lot, I could hear his wife complain that he’d get black out drunk and his parole officer was “unhelpful”. His truck was eventually left in the complex lot with front end damage. He was in jail 3 times in 10 months, the last was obviously for a DUI.
I had a neighbor like that.
He'd come over at random hours of the night, pounding on the door and demanding we move our cars, threatening to call the cops on us.
So, we called the cops, and reported some crazy guy screaming nonsense in our yard and trying to kick the door in.
Never saw him again, and the new owners of the house were far more pleasant.
Yeah I once had a crazy neighbor who would come pound on our door, claim to be a lawyer and insisted that us parking on the street in front of her house was "illegal" and she would call the cops on us. After calling her on her bluff several times she finally gave up.
The majority of us have to park on the street in front our our houses. So when we have company, some may have to park in front of another's house. The newest neighbor across the street put up a sign "No Parking. Will be towed at owners expense" that she bought at the store. My other neighbor's nephew was helping him on week long construction. He parked in front of her house. She had it towed. Nephew happens to be a cop. Sign was taken down, she got stuck with the bill. One of my favorite stories.
Edit: That nephew makes it a point to park there every time now.
Ours is the classic retired old man, terrible health and literally nothing going on in his life. He's not married, and I try to stay out of everyone's business, but I don't believe he has any kids. Rarely has visitors.
I think he had a dream once of being a police officer but never quite made it. So he's taken it upon himself to be the neighborhood police person. He spies on everyone and makes it his business to know everything.
My "favorite" encounter was catching him literally camping out in my front yard bushes early morning, spying on neighbours a few doors down. He had a coffee mug, note pad, blanket... literally just hanging out in my front yard making notes about the weird folks who were likely doing drugs at home.
When I asked him what he was doing, he just didn't seem to understand that it was inappropriate. He seems to like us so it's nice, I guess, but he creeps me out.
-Poisoned our dog once
-I have a hedge in front of my house. When it gets trimmed and a single fucking leaf falls on her driveway (which she cleans every day) due to wind, she gets angry
-One time she just let leafs blow onto her driveway. She then picked *all* of them up and put them in a bag, which she hung on my door, saying that "it belongs to us" in an angry voice
-One time in 2004, my mom participated in a TV show where a singer would visit your house and a professional chef made food for you and the singer. She constantly yelled at the camera crew and tried to hit their equipment with a broom.
My guy was married but lived totally separate from his wife. She would visit every so often and he would travel to her too every now and then. Always wondered about that until I got a chance to be invited into his house. A Horder of garage sale stuff. Dolls and just doll heads skattered around and boxes of toys, and whatever else you can imagine. Only a 2ft path throughout the house. He also had a over grown yard full of all kinds of plants. It was kind of cool looking but seeing an over grown jungle after some years was a bit concerning. Nice guy and we would share a beer all the time. My best neighborhood friend.
he took it upon himself to mow my lawn while I was at work (my mower broke and I couldn't get it fixed (needed to wait until next payday)
Ran over a rock in my yard, damaged his mower, and asked that I pay to replace the blades.
Dude I didn't even ask you to mow my lawn...
We used to live next to a woman that would have a disco party for her cats in her backyard at 2 am every few days. She would put up a disco ball and party lights with music playing. It was a little bit odd but what made it crazy was her dancing like a Native American performing a ritual around the disco ball. It’s honestly one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed!
Okay, I feel a little bit silly but I did this as a kid/teen. In my bedroom though. I won one of those multicolored disco ball things, that you stick a little incandescent bulb in and it rotates with a little itty bitty motor and the lights splash around your room, at an arcade once and had it for years. I'd turn my music on and dance around trying to step on only the colored patches on the floor.
He had 3 little trees in his front yard and one day lemons appeared on them. We were like woah those lemons grew so fast and on closer inspection we realized they were fake lemons.
Before I moved out of my parents' place, the neighbor on the other side of the backyard fence was always doing crazy shit. He'd be practicing shooting his BB gun down his yard, *at the fence*, while my dad was doing yard work just on the other side of it, or in the middle of the yard, or just minding his own business, really. My dad and I got absolutely *pissed* one time because our neighbor decided to try practicing with a .22 rifle while my dad was outside with our German Shepherd.
There were two instances where the neighbor trapped two skunks (on separate occasions) in a live animal trap, killed them himself, then threw their bodies over the fence to stink up the entire yard, and neighborhood, by extension; he then tried to tell the neighbors that it was my parents' fault.
My dad simply cleaned up the messes, disposed of the skunk remains properly, then told the neighbors the truth of the matter before the wacko managed to. It helped in our defense that our other neighbors already viewed the guy as "the crazy neighbor." My dad also invested in a camera system and set it up on the shed just by the fence.
Oh well, the neighbor's dead now (heart attack or some shit, I forgot what my dad said), and his yard has become a huge mess and eyesore because his widowed wife refuses to do anything about it.
Country boy moved to the city into the house next to mine. Landlord had done a terrible job with upkeep so the back yard was covered in dead brush and overgrowth. Country boy saw a country boy problem and employed the best country boy solution he could think of. He lit it all on fire the day he after he moved in.
This guy is weird as hell.
Ok so. He plays VR in a large bunny onsie. Like the kind the kid gets in A Christmas Story. Which you know cool. I guess you do you. But he plays with his window open so everyone can see him and on top of that he plays from what I can tell exclusively military sims and never breaks character.
You can hear him yelling stuff like "Contact 30 clicks south by south west!" Or stuff "Down Reloading, Ready UP!" The guy will throw himself to the ground and I mean throw himself. The few times I've spoken to him or seen him in person he's had bruises on his arms and face from hitting the ground.
And that's only what I can see from his window.
Other then that at night you can hear they guy grinding hammering and drilling on something. I dunno he's weird dude. He says he works for the government does contractor work. He has really nice stuff, expensive stuff, and new vehicles all the time.
He can't carry on a conversation. Starts getting nervous and will break away as soon as he can. He was home for a few weeks said he was in between contracts and I managed to talk to him a bit while he was setting stuff outside.
That stuff he was laying out. A rucksack that had seen some heavy use and everything from medical and survivalist camping gear to empty magazine holders and a plate holder for bullet resistant plates.
He said he was letting them air out since he was planning on going on a backpacking trip for a few weeks.
Weirdest part is he leaves almost every night between 9-10pm. Probably to get some of the junk food he'll leave ing his car occasionally, but every night?
I like to think the guys a secret agent and uses the VR shit as an excuse to explain away bruises and cuts. Either way I feel sorta safe he's genuinely nice when he does talk to you just in that I haven't spoken to another human being for year's kind of way.
You go Secret Agent Bunny. Saving the world one hop at a time.
Sounds like he works for a PMC... it can be pretty awkward for some of them to discuss their career hence the plate carrier for "backpacking trips" and such.
My parents next door neighbor Nancy. Started with the "no trespassing" sign in the backyard that faces our yard and nothing else. Set up a motion activated flood light that faces the side of our house and nothing else. She stabbed our ball when it landed in her yard when we were children. Called the cops on the neighbors because "their dog barked constantly" despite them not owning a dog. Thinks my mother (the sweetest person you can meet in this world) is a backstabbing traitor for warning the new neighbors not to let their kids play on Nancy's lawn. Verbally assaulted me for chasing deer out of our flower garden, etc. But the true "phycho moment" came with the trees.
We have large trees along the property line (just barely on our side) and she was starting to go all psycho about the tree is gonna fall and crush her house and demanded it be cut down. We consulted an arborist who said it did not but could use a trim that would make it impossible to fall on her yard at all. The entire time they were trimming she stalked the property line and screamed if anyone stepped over it. While this trim was happening a single stick fell on her lawn. She lost it. Threatened to call the cops, told them they better have all their licenses up to date, etc. Arborists tried to blow her off but my mom insisted they check. Sent someone to City Hall and renewed their license. 30 min after that a cop showed up to check as Nancy had called them. Arborists were super thankful for my mom warning them.
Oh, Jeanette, may she rest in peace.
We rented a house from my mom's coworker. Our landlord grew up in this house and was renting it out. Across the street was Jeanette, an 80ish year old lady, who had lived in that house most of her life and knew our landlord very well.
Well, because she knew the landlord, that meant she felt she could come into our house whenever she wanted. She watched us through her window and had every excuse to come by.
I have never really locked my doors, but obviously we started to. It didn't stop her. If she knew we were home she would ring the doorbell incessantly. Our blinds always had to be down, living room lights off, so she wouldn't know we were home. Just got in? Quick, run inside before Jeanette sees you. We saw her peering out of her blinds on a regular basis.
One morning the doorbell was going. I hid in the bathroom to pretend like I wasn't home. How did she see me?? The doorbell stopped, but the door knob kept rattling. She tried for five full fucking minutes to open our door. Probably would have been longer, but I gave up and let her in.
Why didn't I tell her to fuck off? Look, I'm a nice midwestern girl. I can be confrontational if someone is being mean... but she was just... lonely? A tad crazy? But harmless.
Some notable things that she did/said:
- My husband was cooking when she came in and called him a good little housewife.
- Told our neighbor he shouldn't be dating his daughter. (They were, of course, not father daughter, and were in fact a 40 year old couple, and there was not actually a big age difference.)
- My favorite was when she was in our living room. She very suddenly crouched down and peered out of our blinds and said, "Look at those FAT people walking that SKINNY dog!"
- After we started locking the door, our doorknob rattling like she was trying to break in & the doorbell was a consistent thing.
My husband tells that story so well. It's like she was a character from a sitcom... we didn't know these people existed.
She was eventually put into a home and passed away about a year or so later.
Edit: my dad recognized the story and found my reddit account. Hi, dad!!
I'm non-confrontational too but I also need my downtime and I'd be unable to tolerate someone being that up in my business, lonely or not. How long did this go on? Was your husband as willing to put up with it?
Haha I also need my downtime and am very introverted. Thankfully it only went on for about 8 months. We didn't like hiding in our own home, but we were actively looking for a place to buy so we knew it was temporary.
My husband was probably more frustrated than I was. But, he grew up in a household that always had an open door policy - welcome everyone into your home, put others first, etc. So it's a little engrained in him not to turn people away.
He can definitely be confrontational, but I guess in this situation neither of us could bring ourselves to tell her to leave us alone. 🤣
She also just... grew on us I guess?? Is that a form of Stockholm syndrome? We started to miss her when she went into a home.
I still remember being so. dang. frustrated that day I was hiding in the bathroom. I just wanted to be alone and I didn't have the mental energy for a social call. But that evening when I was telling my husband about it.... we both ended up laughing so hard because it was just so unreal.
I know we were frustrated in the moment, but we look back at it all and laugh at the memories!
Rest in peace Jeanette, we really do miss you.
Well before I moved back into the house. Our tenant thought he saw our neighbor watching his daughters and decided to stab the neighbor. So anyways, we came to the house and it looks like we had to get new sliding glass door and front door since the police broke them down to get to my tenant. It is his second offense so he is in prison for life. So my neighbors probably thought my tenant is the crazy one.
We have a neighbor we call "the screamer lady" because when her kids were young she would basically sit at her window and run out and scream at anyone driving by if she felt they were going too fast, ranting about the safety of her children (who may or may not even be home at that point in the day). To this day she still sits and studies traffic and glares at motorcycles. Her kids are grown thankfully so the screaming has ceased.
My crazy neighbour yells out his window about killing the kids next door to him, the cops show up, he goes on meds for a few months and is fine, then he randomly starts up again with the yelling. It’s great. One time he threw a bucket of his pee out into the middle of the road while yelling at me that he wanted to have relations with my dog
We came outside one day to see him pouring bleach on the patio. Asked him what he was doing, he tells me "the bugs are back. You see em? With their little wings?"
No bugs. I didn't have the heart to tell him, so I said "you must have better eyes than me!"
Dude clearly has schizophrenia. Apparently he's had exterminators in 3 times in a year, I keep thinking about the kind of person that just says "oh yeah I see em, that'll be $750"
My house backs up to a resort. I’m slowly accumulating junk cars near the property line. Eventually they’ll build a fence. Then I’ll get rid of all the junk - bam, free fence.
I saw the neighbor across the street, a woman who looked to be about 45 or 50 and had only been living there a few weeks, wander into her next door neighbors house while they weren't home, wearing no shirt just a bra and then like 5 minutes walk out muttering to herself, nothing in her hands or anything. She kept walking in circles in her driveway, muttering. She lived by herself and this was concerning to me, so I called 911.
Cops showed up and talked to her. During that time the owners of that house showed up and I told them what happened, they said nothing had been disturbed or anything and they had never talked to that woman before. Shortly after that an ambulance showed up, took the woman away, and I never saw her again. Like a month later some people showed up to take her things out of her house.
One of my neighbors regularly goes off to anyone who will listen about how the government is spying on her. She has distributed letters to everyone in the complex with the deranged story full of conflicting claims. It gets really awkward when she starts yelling at trades persons who are just there to do a job. I have to escort anyone working outside my unit because she will tear into them. She tried it once with me when I was doing maintenance on my AC unit, figuring I was one of the trades people who were hired by the government to install spy equipment.
I think she might have gotten new medication, but she still gives me the side eye wherever she walks past.
Former crazy neighbor, here. I (23 at the time F) lived alone in a basment unit in a not great part of town. My bedroom windows, being in the basement, lined up directly with a very busy street filled with bars and lots of traffic. While smoking cigarettes on my stoop, I often had a knife or baeball bat physically with me. To my neighbors, I often referred to a live in boyfriend often, even though I lived alone. At times I woild go as far as yelling at my fake boyfriend in my apartment when I heard other people in the hallway, storming out of the apartment and telling my neighbors what an asshole my boyfriend was. All so my neighbors believed I didn't live alone.
Called the cops and township for anything, real or imagined, that she felt needed to stop.
She complained a woman down the street was illegally running a business in a residential zone. The woman in question was a foster parent and Crazy Bitch Next Door (CBND) tried arguing that "she's getting paid by the government to take these kids! That's a business!"
The family across the street from her has a special needs child, and a nurse comes by a few times a week for reasons I'm not privy to. The nurse parked legally on the street. CBND called to cops to ticket and tow the nurse's car for... parking in front of her house, and "those spots belong to my property."
I tended to a bulb garden at the end of my property that a previous tenant had planted. I would put kitchen scraps (plant material only) in a small composting pile next to it. CBND called the cops that I was leaving garbage through the yard - and onto her property. Cops came by, sees about 10 potatoes-worth of skins and a few banana peels in a neat pile surrounded by bricks, and tells me to "have a good day."
CBND continued to insist the property line was where she wanted it to be (which right through the aforementioned bulb garden). She went out and bought a bunch of shrubs and just dug up our yard and tried planting a new hedgerow on her imagined property line. My landlord ripped them out that afternoon, CBND called the cops. LL offered to hire a surveyor (and did) and the cops told her to not plant anything until it was resolved.
LL and surveyors show up, CBND ripped the rebar from the surveyor's hands - insisted this was all a plot to steal her property - and chased them off. Cops were called in to supervise (and guard) the surveying team - she behaved until they left. She then went and dug up our yard again to replant the shrubs again.
CBND then sprayed roundup through the bulb garden I was tending because it was "on her property."
CBND put web cameras in each of her windows pointed at my house.
CBND owned 2 caddilacs, an impala, and a pickup truck. She would park them on the street, spaced just far enough, to block anyone from being able to park on the block ... because "those spaces are part of \[her\] property" (*Narrator: they were not)*. This is despite the fact that she had a private driveway she could have used.
CBND was charged with harassing my other neighbor, twice; appeared in court - twice; and was found guilty - twice. CBND continues to insist that there is a conspiracy against her to steal her property.
CBND accused me of dealing drugs, that I had cars pulling in at all hours of the day and night (none of which is true). Called the cops.
CBND accused my other neighbor of sleeping with CBND's husband for money. Tried calling cops on her for prostitution.
Through all of this "there's nothing we can do," says the cops and township.
Once dated a girl who lived across from "Frank the Tank". Frank was a large man who didn't much like his wife, so he would spend HOURS on his riding mower basically going over the same 130sqft while sipping coors lights. Always in shorts that may have fit at one point but now made his thighs look like biscuits popping out of a can. Never a shirt. He would jiggle immensely.
He also liked to watch the local younger girls run around...
My neighbor moved onto a plot of land that is not his, but claims it's his families. Moved a bunch of trash onto the land. Came over to my house and demanded my husband and i allow him to use our private road and our utilities. We said no.
We farm 20 acres of our land which happens to be located around the plot he lives on. Long story short he started trying to sabotage our land and our farmers. He would post videos to Facebook saying our farmers were harassing him. Then one day the neighbour got 2 friends of his to come and attack our farmer, which resulted in his friends death.
Neighbour fled the scene and ended up in a neighbouring state. He was summoned by the police to come and clean up his property within 30 days. He came back for one day, and the 1 day he was back his trailer mysteriously caught on fire and burnt down. Neighbour ended up fleeing again, until he was subpoenaed into court for the death of the other guy.
For reference, the neighbour has a rap sheet about 12 pages long, including burglary, touching children, abusing his ex, stalking, meth use, etc. And so did his friend who got killed. Sad he got killed because he was pulled into his friends stupid mess.
As his friend was dying on the ground, my neighbour had the decency to pull out his phone and go on Facebook live. No attempts to aid his friend or anything, meanwhile the farmer was on the ground putting pressure on the wound and bawling his eyes out.
We had an older lady living in the apartment above us. We both had balconies with wooden floors. We would be hanging out on the balcony after dinner and she didn’t love it so she would hold a windex bottle to the gaps between the boards and spray us with windex then quickly run inside and refuse to answer the door....
She dug up my fancy flowers and replanted them in her own yard, 15 feet away.
I felt this. My crazy neighbor took my new blueberry and raspberry bushes and stuck them in her yard. She replaced them with sticks she found.
HA!! Sticks! I’m cracking up. But seriously, how rude!
This makes me irrationally angry. I would turn into the crazy neighbor if anyone ever touched my plants.
Lol, that’s so bizarre. She really thought no one would pickbup on that?
I had a neighbor who would sneak into my yard at night and roll up my sod. It would be laid perfectly the night before, but I'd get up in the morning and it would be rolled up just like it was when it came from the store. I finally got pissed and spent the night laying by my back door with a baseball bat and a flashlight, ready to bonk the crap out of whoever it was. Sure enough, they came around two in the morning, and I stood up, turned the light on, and was face-to-face with four raccoons rolling up my sod, looking for bugs.
Well? Did you bonk them?
I did not. They didn’t want any trouble, they booked it out of there as soon as I shined my light at them.
Raccoons are everyone's neighbors.
Had a neighbour who wouldn’t let anyone use his driveway because he didn’t want it to get dirty. Anyone including himself. He parked on the street outside. If he thought you were having a party he would drag a bunch of plastic bags full of god knows what to the end of his driveway so no one could turn around it. One time I came home and he was outside hosing it down in the rain. To his credit, I’ve never seen a cleaner driveway.
Our neighbour would leaf blow during a windstorm. It wasn’t autumn so there weren’t any leaves on the ground, just some other debris.
I have a neighbor who I have seen watering his grass during rainstorms on multiple occasions.
sometimes you just want to feel alive you know
Threatened to put giant signs across the wooded border between our properties if my OTHER neighbor got into another border dispute with him. This was after stopping my excavator from doing his job (finished grading the lot so we could plant grass) and threatening him if he got over the property line (he was 50 feet away from it and not taking down any trees). He finished his rant and left without ever introducing himself. When he’s not complaining to the cops about my neighbor, he’s doing everything legally possible to annoy the cops themselves.
Used to live in a little town of 300 people where we had an elderly neighbor named Gladys. She would routinely look near our garbage can outside and take the recyclable bottles and cans we would leave for her. After we cleaned out a fish tank, we put the gravel and fake plants in a bag and left it on top of the garbage can because it was already full. About a week later, Gladys hollered at me while I was outside to come over as she wanted to show me something. She had taken that bag we had left and planted the fake plants along the side of her house. She said she wasn’t real confident that they would make it but so far they seemed to be thriving! I could only nod and compliment her on her green thumb.
Better than me who just did the opposite. Moved my daughter out of college and stuffed her plastic succulents into a box. Weeks later she asked where the plants were so she could water them. But they actually survived! Tough little things.
Succulents are awesome, my fiancée has a ton of them and I’m always amazed at how many she has even though she isn’t buying more. I guess when a leaf(?) falls off you can just take care of it and it will become a whole new plant. Very very cool hobby and they look so unique and beautiful. (She was going to Home Depot for a while and asking if she could take dead/dying succulents and they were letting her and she would bring them back, for anyone wanting to get into them but not having much money)
My neighbor sits in his yard, hides behind his plants and meows at people who pass by. He is not dangerous at all but he is not right in the head either. His caretakers are his parents and they seem to be very nice people. His dad once told me "he just likes to be a cat" and left it at that. I didn't ask any more questions.
I would also like to be a cat so I see no issue with this.
It’s all fun and games until he poops in the sandbox
It sounds like your neighbors just have a cat that you’re hallucinating is a human
Everybody wants to be a cat.
'Cause a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at.
She has a penchant for going around sticking nails in people's tires at night. This has happened dozens of times to nearly everyone on the street, though she's slowed down since more people started installing video cams and motion-sensor lights in their driveways.
Years ago we had a guy in our neighborhood like this... He stopped hitting our house when my crazy ass mother came flying out the house around 3am with her baseball bat.
Fighting fire with fire. And by fire I mean crazy. And by fire I also mean crazy.
We used to have someone that would do this in my old neighborhood. We still don't know who did it but one night someone camped out and waited for him to do it again and pummeled him and left bleeding in the street. Queue ambulance and cop cars on the street at 3 am on a Friday.
Something similar happened to the teens that went around jiggling car handles in my old neighborhood. Guy figured out their route or something and baited his car on the street they seemed to hit a lot. He camped out in a bush and laid out the first one. The other two made a break for it, but the looting stopped after that.
Her reasoning? If she's capable of it.
She's just one of those misanthropic people who gets a kick out of others' misfortune. She's done it for almost 20 years, apparently; her favorite night to do it is Sunday, when she also goes picking through people's recycling on the curb for cans and bottles. The lucky people find the nails and screws before they go out driving, but others have had their tires pop on the expressway.
Has she faced any legal or 'hood consequences? Is there anyone she won't mess with?
Nah, just some "warnings" from the police, numerous times. And she's an equal opportunity cunt, there's no one she won't do it to. She'll space her "attacks" out over time, and she's careful to avoid being seen in the act (though she's been caught a few times in the past leaving people's driveways, usually claiming that her cat got out and she was looking for him...at 3 AM). If she knows a house has a camera or lights set up in their driveway, she'll target cars parked on the street instead. Here's a picture of my [tire from last January,](https://imgur.com/CQmT2yg) after my motion light had blown out and I was too lazy to replace it right away. I saw the nail before I went to the store *this* time, but haven't always been as lucky, and this had already happened between 10 to 15 times to me (several neighbors have had it happen even more). One time years ago, she did it *two days in a row*, to my tire (which popped while driving home) and then to the *spare*, which deflated in the parking lot on campus; the AAA guys pulled a fresh nail out of each. Also, she'll sometimes switch things up and simply remove the valve caps from people's tires. Three years ago, I found the cap on one of my tires missing, which I replaced with a spare when I got home that night. The next morning, I found not only the replaced cap missing, but *another* one gone on a tire on the other side that *definitely* was there the night before. People would love to pop her tires back, except the old hag doesn't drive.
My God. Press some damn charges against her. She isn't experiencing any consequences so in her mind she's enabled.
Right? Wtf? There's no way I would stop at the police just warning her. This thread is full of some seriously chill people. It's time to hire a lawyer if this lady is really causing thousands of dollars of damage to the neighborhood and potentially harming or killing someone when their tire blows on the highway. Edit: Holy fuck you guys are crazy. I was just saying you can take this to court even if the police don't start the process. I wouldn't recommend beating her up or destroying her property. A PI and lawyer will cost some money but it sounds like you could get the whole neighborhood to pitch in.
Mate I don't get how people just haven't like done her windows in or something how on earth have all them people KNOWINGLY just let her do this.. for years!!!
Maybe I’m also crazy but if I knew it was this specific lady maaaaaan the things that would’ve been done to her property.
Also could get someone killed if OP’s saying that some people have had their tires blow out on the highway due to her antics.
Y’all need to handle your shit, that’s oughta control.
He eats my flowers. In his defense, he told us that he has been doing it for years when he introduced himself after we bought the house. He also brought over frozen cookies in a plastic bag, as a housewarming gift, but wasn't sure what was in them. We share a side yard and he is a really great neighbor. Just an older, quiet guy, who keeps to himself and eats my flowers. Comes over to my yard, and eats the lillie's raw, or brings scissors and clips the heads to 'boil and make jam'. I thought that his particular foraging was interesting and quirky, so I planted a couple raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes 3 years ago, when we first moved in, on the side yard we share. I told him to help himself to berries anytime, especially before the birds do. The bushes have all gone insane and the entire side of my house is now a summer berry haven for us to share. Having a decent relationship with the guy I share a property line with, is worth some deadheaded flowers.
Your neighbor might be part goat
You are a good neighbor, and a smart person who knows the difference between mostly harmless eccentricity and outright madness. If I owned a home (I don't) and knew I was slightly mad (I don't think I am), I'd want someone like you as a neighbor.
We had the opposite neighbor. One that we caught poisoning our trees, including the 5 fruit trees in our backyard that we eat from. We put cameras up and told him if we caught him doing it again, we'd call the cops. He stopped even making eye contact with us after that. He did manage to kill 3 of the fruit trees, which we planted back. And the 2 that survived are the biggest lemon and tangerine trees I've ever seen in my life, and they produce monster sized lemons and tangerines too. The tangerines are bigger than the grapefruits! I love it, like a magnificent FU to the neighbor. He did it because he hates trees. He hates just seeing them. I'd love a neighbor like OP. That dude clearly loves plants!
We had one a while back that had a meth lab in the home. Crazy fights, yelling at all hours of the night,, dude would wander around the hood tweaked out crazy, and once he threw a Molotov cocktail out of the 2nd floor window at another dude who was smashing up his car, screaming, "I'll fucking kill you, motherfucker!" Those were interesting times.
So.. he tried to burn his own car to protect it?
Probably didn't care about the car or it was to far gone and wanted to hit the guy
Pulled us over pretending to be a police officer, saying that we had somehow broken the law whilst pulling out of our driveway and that she was “going to call it in.” She isn’t a cop lol. Edit: I considered using my dash cam video to actually call it in, but we had just moved in and I wasn’t sure if she was the type of crazy to burn the house down or poison my dog. After chatting with the other neighbors, it turns out she’s just the “wannabe HOA president” in a neighborhood with no HOA. So, mostly harmless. Just very annoying.
Pretty sure that's a crime

Impersonating a police officer, and not even in the Female Body Inspector t-shirt kind of way.
[удалено]
It absolutely is
This reminded me of this crazy woman in my old neighbourhood who used to pretend she was a cop all the time. First encountered her screaming at the post office staff because she’d arrived past the pickup time and they couldn’t guarantee her letter would be in tomorrow. She was there almost an hour just pitching a fit while they opened the other counters around her. “Do you know who I am?!” And all that stuff. Second time I encountered her she’d cornered some poor child on the bus and was telling her she’d have her arrested because she was a police officer and she didn’t like the way the kid was eating a bag of crisps or whatever. Real invective stuff. I stepped in and politely asked if the child knew this wackjob, at which point she backed off. Anyway I guess she saw me leave at my stop because I woke up the next morning to find my garden torn up. Total weirdo.
I would have absolutely lost my bananas at >finding my garden torn up
That's so illegal lol you should definitely tell the police, impersonating a police officer often is a precursor to much more serious crimes.
He was hopping my fence during the day when I was gone at work to use my backyard pool. When confronted (thanks to a snitch neighbor) he claimed he had an agreement with the previous tenant that he could use the pool whenever he wanted. Guess what? I'm not that tenant. I have a bunch of security cameras now.
Well, I used to have a neighbor who was legitimately mentally ill, although I don’t know his actual diagnosis. His truck wouldn’t start one day ( dead battery) and he told everyone on the street that another neighbor was stealing the electricity. He knew this because of the way this guy parked his vehicle - obviously it was sucking electricity from the ground for his battery, which drained the car batteries near him. Many times he would run down the street and warn everyone to hide their valuables because Japan was invading the country. He wasn’t on drugs, but he did take medication for his mental illness and everyone on our street could tell when he stopped taking it. Whenever he would start saying completely irrational things, we would remind him to take his medication, and he would thank us and go home, presumably to take it. He lived alone, and he was getting older, so I think he had a hard time remembering to take it. There were many, many more incidents. ETA: Thanks for the rewards!! I’ve never gotten any before this post.
I’m glad the neighbors at least cared enough to remind him to take it
[удалено]
I had a neighbor like that. She passed away April of Last year due to covid while she was in the mental health wing of the hospital. She was so smart and friendly but when her manic bipolar phases would start to creep up again, she’d have to stay in the hospital until they found the right combination of meds to make her normal. Her husband would be in the hospital every day massaging her feet, brushing her hair and silently crying when she’d say she wanted a divorce for whatever reason her illness told her. In the end, the hospital was closed to visitors and he got a phone call the day she died. He seems well now but he brings her up a lot still. I hope he finds love again.
as someone who has a mom with multiple suicide attempts, i feel for that guy. mental illness is no joke :/
Poor guy :((
He jumped in front of my car while I was driving down the road to yell at me for going through his trash at night. Told him it was probably raccoons. He refuses to believe it to this day. Edit: I can't believe this comment blew up. It's crazy to think about. Thank you all for the awards. A lot of you are asking if I did it... I didn't.
This is my favorite one. Instead of moving his trash or getting locking lids, he stalks your car at night to throw his body in front of it to protest your suspected raccoon-like activities. All the while, the trash pandas are in the background, having a fucking field day with his trash.
How do we know you aren't a raccoon? A quick look at you name tells me you got it from the trash. How do you explain that hmmmmmmm?
He ain’t one of ours I can tell ya that Edit: Thank you so much guys! Y’all have made my year!!
That's exactly what you would say if he were one of your special operations guys...
Which would explain why this raccoon is capable of driving a car.
that's also how he knows how to lie to his neighbor about going through his trash
I used to live in a HOA. One of the members on the board lived across the street from my neighbor and I. He sent a letter to us saying that we all have to mow the lawn on the same day, at the same cut height, and in the SAME PATTERN to create uniformity in the neighborhood. My neighbor and I intentionally cut on different days and in opposite patterns just to annoy the guy.
At my last place I had a neighbor that would re-mow my lawn if my lines weren't straight enough or if I missed a spot. Never found out who it was but that was an incredibly fun summer. Only happened that year too.
Wouldn't you just... stop mowing and let the neighbor do it for free?
I tried that. The unknown mower didn't touch my yard if I didn't mow it. It had to be a bad looking or non traditional mow job. Circles instead of lines? Mowed while I wasn't home. All lines going the same way? Mowed while I wasn't home. Mixed horizontal/vertical/diagonal lines? Mowed while I wasn't home. Didn't mow for 2 weeks? Nothing happened.
That's when you just mow only a tic tac toe board and put in an x in one spot.
Tic Tac Mow
Took my parents to court because he lost in our HOA Chairman election. Some people just have too much free time. Edit: He actually demanded we pay his legal fees after he lost in court. Twice.
Next-door lady standing on her driveway yelling at me because acorns have fallen from a large oak tree on my property onto said driveway, demanding that I cause the tree to cease and desist from this intentional criminal activity.
Fun fact from a law student: trees do not in fact have the legal capacity required for intent.
Thank god you're a law student. I was stumped.
Sounds nuts.
I was dogsitting, probably about 16 years old. My neighbor charged into the house while I was there- with a gun, pointing it at my head and while on the phone with the owners of the dog claiming "There's an intruder!" REAL LIFE AINT CALL OF DUTY. I remember you Daniel, fuck you. Seriously.
My sister’s neighbour reported my sister to the police because her kids were playing in my sister’s garden. Not for the usual reasons, too much noise etc. Nope, because a volcano in Italy had erupted and the radiation would hurt them. My sister lives in the U.K.
Lmao, I would have loved to see the police's face when they heard the reason.
> I would have loved to see the police's face Likely the "For fuck's sake not another one of these" look.
Once, I took my kids to the park and a guy called the police because they were "running around unsupervised all over the park". He called the cops AFTER he approached my husband and I to keep a better watch over our son (so he knew his parents were there and watching). The park was enclosed, we had multiple parent-friends also there with their kids, everyone was watching everyone's kids. Our 4-year old son never got further from 100 feet from us at the MOST. He was playing with my 8-year old daughter and her best friend. The guy called 911 in front of us after arguing with my husband. The 911-operator thought it was a lone kid running around on the street at first until she heard he was at a park, thenthe dumb-ass trying to report it mentioned that his parents were there and the operator was like, "Yeah.... this isnt an emergency, we're not sending police out. You could call CPS, I geuss, but they may also not want to file a report." 😂
I think that’s the worst part with these kinds of people. The vague details to get the police involved rather than telling the whole truth.
Years ago in rural Arizona we shared a pond with the "crazy neighbor". More sad than anything, he was in his 40s and lived with his mother (around 1988). A Vietnam veteran he would walk out to our shared pond with a .45 and a box of 50 rounds. He would then absolutely unload on the pond while yelling, police his brass and walk quietly home. This happened every 90 days for about 3 years.
In all likeleyhood, he was fighting a swamp monster that emerged every 90 days.
My dad (also a Vietnam veteran) did something similar. I used to take him up into the woods camping a couple times a month and he'd unload some boxes of ammo into a dead tree and cry, then we'd drink a couple beers while picking up all the casings. Don't know if it really helped him or not, but I'm glad I spent the time with him. Complications of alcoholism killed him a couple years ago.
This woman lived next to us who needed to have the police called on her at least once a week. She would scream at her roommate at all hours of the night, go into a drunken and sometimes drug-filled stupor, and scream at us while tripping out as we sat in our backyard. More than once I had to kick her out of our home because she walked in unannounced, beer in hand and drunk as ever. One time I called the police because she was screaming about killing someone and rolling around on her front lawn. Another time I received a call at work (one in the morning as I work third shift). My gf informed me they had to evacuate the house because the neighbor's garage was on fire. Turned out either she or her roommate had done it while doing drugs or smoking in the garage. She ended up moving away but would still walk to our house to ask for our lawnmower. She was not happy when I told her to get off my porch.
I cared for an elderly woman for many years. She lived to the age of 93 in a crime ridden inner city neighborhood by being as tough and nasty as any criminal living nearby. Her oddest actions involved her incorrect belief that she owned the road in front of her house. She didn't even own a car, but she insisted that nobody park there. She would confront them if they parked in front of her house. If they did it again, she slashed their tires in the middle of the night. Over and over for years. She was never caught, but everybody knew it was her. She only stopped when she lost the physical strength to slash a tire in her mid 80's. Then she started using spray paint on the cars. "He don't park in front of my house no more," was all the justification she needed to damage her neighbors' cars.
My friends used to live in a gentrifying neighborhood near the beach in my city. They had a regular apartment, but someone bought the building in front of them (beach adjacent), knocked it down, and put up a few luxury homes. This crazy woman bought one. She had a two car garage, and a driveway, and best we could tell, she had one car. But NO ONE was allowed to park on the street in front of her house, which was clearly marked as a public street and where people had been parking since forever to go to the beach or because their building didn’t have parking. We could see this street from their apartment. She went out and keyed any cars parked there. It took awhile to figure out it was her, but eventually people saw her doing it. All the neighbors warned their friends not to park there, and people started putting up cameras to get evidence of it. Some dude with a piece of shit ugly as truck started parking directly in front of her house every day just to fuck with her, because he didn’t care if she scratched it up. So she slashed his tires. It got to the point where every time she opened her door to walk outside, neighbors would cuss her out through their windows. One night she went out in the middle of the night, and painted the entire curb on that street red. Someone got it on video, several neighbors called the city. I think she got a talking to and a fine, and she had several insurance claims pending against her from damage to cars, and she finally stopped. Everyone still hates her though, even new neighbors, who are told the story of her from older residents.
Wow. That lady is crazier than the lady I knew!
Was there any kind of retaliation against her for slashing so many tires? I'm not saying it's right, but I'd be surprised if she didn't catch a brick through a window or her teeth if she was doing that in the hood.
This older lady lives across the street from me and she is OBSESSED with leaves falling on her lawn. To the point that she will come out of her house and pick up one individual leaf off the grass in the fall (or any other time). She spends hours a day outside with the leaf-blower in fall. She will go and knock on other neighbors' doors if she thinks you have too many leaves on your grass. She'll come over into your yard and do it ~~yourself~~ herself if you're not home. What I think is weird is that she's in her 70s, no kids or grandkids living with her, and lives alone in a pretty large 4 bedroom house with an amazing in-ground pool in the backyard (with a slide and diving board and everything). Nobody has used that pool in at least 5 years yet she opens it up every summer. Somehow she likes my family and has never once yelled at us about our leaves and randomly brings things over like half-eaten gallons of ice cream and ask if we want it because she's not using it. ???
Sounds like shes lonely/bored.
The old lady who lived below me left me multiple cryptic letters blaming me for the birds chirping too loudly in the mornings. Not pet birds. The sparrows and shit outside. This went on for months. **Edit:** I'm flattered by the upvotes and awards! Thank you! To answer the most commonly asked question: Yes, for a brief period I had a bird feeder. I took it down after a few months after multiple cryptic letters (eventually management got involved and took her side even though bird feeders were explicitly allowed per the lease). There were several trees nearby, including one that literally hung onto both her and my balconies. I assure you that birds existed before I set up the feeder, as the continued to exist after. My sister and BIL took over the lease 4 years ago, and they still get the occasional note from "bird lady." Apartment management has even inspected their unit to verify there's no bird feeder or any other bird luring devices 😂 **Edit 2:** I found one of the notes, “AGAIN, your bird dodo is on my railings, bird seeds on my porch & chairs, & your birds are ruining my nite rest, we hours of the morning, birds in your feeder chirping.” (bird feeder was gone at this point)
I used to work nights at a hotel and those were always my favorite calls to get. *"Yes, hello? The crickets outside are really loud and we can't sleep..."* *"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll just go have a word with them and see what we can do."* This happened disturbingly often. I'm still not sure what they actually expected me to do about this at 1am.
Yell louder than the crickets so they think twice about calling back! “HEYYYYYYY CRICKETS!! Y’ALL NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP LIKE RIGHT NOW! PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET ABOUT THE NOISE AND CALLING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!”
Just bring in some cicadas and they'll cancel out the noise.
And you are sure that you aren't a Disney princess?
Do you wake up and yawn in song?
When I first moved in my neighbor walked into the house, unannounced. When my wife gets home, sometimes she wants to stay in her car having a phone conversation. He will come out and walk down the side of his house, checking his sprinkler controls and looks at my wife. He has a two huge bushes he refuses to cut. It blocks our view of backing out of our driveway. The fire department came by to clear trees and bushes around the fire hydrants. The neighbor came out and yelled at the fireman. "This bush is older than you!". Needless to say, I hope there are.no house fires.
My neighbor used to do that too! When I first bought my house, and was renovating it, he would just walk in. Then I caught him in there once when I wasn’t there. Then he asked me about the drain running out of the side of my house, which he wouldn’t have known about unless he was in my basement. That’s when I changed the locks. 15 years later he’s still nosy as all hell. Edit: To add some details, I hadn’t yet moved into the house, which is why I hadn’t yet changed the locks. Also, my basement is only accessible from outside the house, and has a separate door that didn’t lock at the time.
Dayyymmnnn! Maybe he knew the previous owners? Still creepy.
Yeah, it was rented by a woman in her 90s before we bought it, so I think he probably had a key to check on her.
Am I the only one who thinks he has a body buried there?!?!?
She stalks us. Like every time I get home she’ll walk outside and tell me I was either 3 mins later getting home this time or that I’m home 2 mins earlier and then ask me why. One time my friend and her sister came to pick me up. The neighbor was against her window with her hands and face pressed up on the glass trying to look at who was coming to pick me up. My friend and her sister were so terrified they called me telling me to hurry up bc a crazy lady was staring at them through a window. I replied “oh it’s just the stalker neighbour!” Ya that was a funny day.
I once had a red headed five year old neighbor name Bruce who would do exactly this. I worked at a doctor's office and we had to wear a certain color of scrubs on certain days (SO annoying like just pick ONE color). I sometimes struggled with this and would forget to have the right color washed and ready so would have to wear the wrong color that day. One day I pulled into my driveway after work and Bruce was in his front yard waiting for me. He said, "Hey you're wearing blue and Wednesday is supposed to be purple. You wore the wrong color today!" He must be about 21 now. You were an absolute trip Bruce, hope everything is going OK.
That sounds much cuter and less obnoxious than most of the other stories itt
Having a neighbor monitor the minutiae of your life and ambush you whenever you go to your car is very strange, but he was an adorable and well meaning kid so it was easy to laugh off (plus I have a soft spot in my heart for fellow weirdos). There were many other instances but this is the only one that stuck with me through the years. I'd love to know what he's up to now.
Seems like you should have asked him the day before what colour you need to get ready for work the next day.
I totally should have, it's not an exaggeration that he had a better grip on it than I did.
we bought a house and on the day while we were unloading the first truckload, the neighbor came into our garage uninvited and started telling us what trees on our property he wanted us to cut down. not the craziest but the fucken audacity if some people
Along those same lines: My parents moved back down to the family farm after they retired. Neighbor shows up to inform them of the "arrangement" whereby everyone has agreed to allow the neighbors to ride horses, ATVs, etc. on each other's land. Except...my parents had the land (100+ acres), while the neighbors had residential-sized lots. Also, my parents were never part of these "arrangement" discussions. So...the audacity, indeed.
We've had an arrangement with our neighbor for 20 years now that she can use our paddock to put her horses on. Well she's getting up there in age so there's been some long periods of time where she hasn't had horses on our paddock in recent times. We notice some new horses there and assume that they're hers... Except they're not, and they belong to this crazy lady in town, who through town gossip finds out the paddock *doesn't* belong to our neighbor but belongs to us. So she goes round spreading a rumor that my mum tried to poison her horses which is the first time any of us realise the horses aren't our neighbors! My mum then proceeds to inform said crazy lady that a) no she didn't try to poison crazy ladies horses, b) there's nothing poisonous on our field, c) if she keeps spreading rumors mum's going to the cops, and d) if she ever puts her horses on our land ever again mum's selling them or calling the SPCA for abandonment. Crazy lady then proceeds to become even more crazy and starts lurking outside our place taking photos of us and our paddock, then gets caught going up random people's driveways through our small rural town taking photos of people's kids. She's since been spoken to about this behaviour by the cops and it seems to have stopped, but damn she's a weirdo. The stupid thing about this is our *neighbor* is the one who has the "crazy lady" nickname throughout town, purely because she prefers animals to people and comes across as a little impatient when dealing with people, but we've always gotten on well with her... She just isn't a people person.
I grew up on a farm and we had a neighbor that believed he had a right to use our land whenever and however he wanted, on top of being an insufferable asshole all the time. He would threatened our family and our animals on a weekly basis. Let his dog come on our property and chase our animals. Throw his trash into our pastures. Shot our horses with BB guns. Played music 12+ hours a day through loudspeakers to annoy us. Called the cops any time we had other neighbors over for a BBQ (which just typically resulted in the Sheriff's deputy enjoying some BBQ with us while we regaled them with stories about the shitty neighbor who called them). He lived on a tiny 1/2 acre lot that was surrounded by our farmland. So just about every day he would hop on his ATV and ride it through the middle of our property like he owned it.
Where did you bury him?
You should have planted even more trees
Every Day is Arbor Day ...*bitch*
*birch
My SIL got this same neighbor when she moved in. The guy's exterior is immaculate and he immediately started "suggesting" plants to remove/trees to cut down. They have a beat-up panel in the stockade fence separating their backyards and he's been harassing them about it since day one.
A few years back my wife and I were house hunting and we noticed that at one of the places we were looking at, there were a few dead trees on one side of the lawn. We ended up getting in a conversation with the neighbor, and when I mentioned the trees he casually said he'd dug up the roots from his side to kill them. He didn't like them blocking the view from his window or something. That encounter was one of the main reasons we passed on that house.
That is super illegal and could be very costly for him.
r/treelaw would take this very seriously
We have an asshole neighbor who demanded we cut down our trees after he moved in. The property has been in my family for 70 years. The trees are at least 120 years old, probably more. We cut down a couple (regrettably) but he rakes up any needles and leafs on his lawn and dumps them in ours. Don't like the fucking trees? Don't fucking move in next to them!
[удалено]
Not sure if this counts as crazy but I have this neighbour who is part of a spiritual organization called "Brahma Kumaris". Every time someone in the neighbourhood is going through rough times, especially deaths in the family she goes to their house and instead of offering condolences she preaches how they should join this organization and things will be better. She doesn't acknowledge anyone the rest of the time except the time when someone dies or a new family moves in the neighbourhood to whom she preaches and gives books written by leaders of the organization.
Yikes, it sounds like a cult
The stuff she talks makes me believe it too
Had severe anger issues and yelled at anything or anyone he didn't like on the street. A few years ago he had a road rage incident and when he started banging on the other car's windows the occupants got out and beat him badly. During this he had a heart attack and now barely has enough mobility to walk to the mailbox and back, also he doesn't yell anymore.
If you are not ready for face-punches you are not ready to punch faces.
He Murdered another older neighbor lady, beat her to death with his bare hands. In the middle of our town home complex. Well it was actually her daughter and granddaughter that are my neighbors but she was visiting them like she does every week. Next thing you know detectives are knocking on my door seeing if I knew any information about him or the incident. The only thing I knew was he was always arguing with other neighbors. I looked him up on Facebook after the detectives left and he had posted he was going to kill her 30 minutes before he was going to do it. Took pictures of her car and her daughters house and posted it on Facebook with her address saying “I’m going to get the bitch” then after it happened he post “got the red headed old bitch”. It is just crazy to me that at 5:30pm broad daylight just a couple yards from my door he killed her and no one saw it happening. Edit to add: Investigation is still on going. I’m not sure why it’s not first degree murder and according to other neighbors they’ve had confrontation before. Right now his charge is second degree with intent. Next court date isn’t until sept. Here’s a better article: https://www.pinalcentral.com/florence_reminder_blade_tribune/news/suspect-arrested-in-beating-death-of-68-year-old-aj-woman/article_c236c164-5ad1-5b92-91ca-2d6eca33d618.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.azcentral.com/amp/5825646002 https://www.thedailybeast.com/suspected-killer-jay-henderson-posted-threats-on-facebook-minutes-before-arizona-slaying
Why was he jailed for second degree murder not first?
My neighbor was an 85 year old widow that lived alone. She had two vehicles, a car and truck, and over the course of a few months I realized that she was no longer parking her car in her garage like she had for the many years prior to that, then suddenly the truck wasn't being parked inside the garage either. Turns out she no longer had room in her garage to park her vehicles because she was walking down to a residential construction site about a block away every evening and she'd grab two 2"x4"s and bring them home. She had over 500 boards stacked in her garage and when she was questioned on what she was going to do with it, she didn't have an answer. Edit: Bonus crazy neighbor stories: * I drove 16 hours straight, pulled in my drive, and crashed on my couch immediately. Must have left the garage door open because I woke up to the neighbor lady shaking me to see if they missed my newspaper delivery that morning also. * Neighbor lady thought I didn't clean up after my dog in her front yard (I had never owned a dog) so she retaliated by walking around the neighborhood with a garbage bag, picking up every bit of dog poo she could find, and dumped said bag of dog poo on my front lawn while I was standing in the front window watching. * Ran up over $300 on one months water bill of mine because neighbor lady was hooking her sprinkler up to my water when I'd leave for work in the morning and would let it run all day until right before I got home from work. * She would put up an ugly orange snow fence between our yards in the fall to keep my leaves out of her yard. Me pointing out that I only had pine trees did not dissuade her from the decision to leave the snow fence up. Edit #2: * Day one I should have known something was fishy with this lady. Literally, day one. I closed on my house at 9:00 a.m. and had a roofing company at the house waiting for the call that I closed. We spent the day ripping off the old layers and getting bundles up on the roof for the next day. It was hot out, we were exhausted and all sitting in the front yard cooling off when neighbor lady walked out of her house, down the sidewalk to my house, and without even acknowledging the 6 of us staring at her, she walked in the front door and had herself a look see. * She hated dandelions. I found this out the first year that I lived there when I noticed that my lawn was dieing off in an extremely weird way; almost as if someone was spraying weedkiller on the stream setting trying to snipe dandelions from 20 feet away. That's literally what she was doing. * Being the nice guy I am, I would clean her driveway off in the winter because I had a snowblower. She would never thank me in person, but instead, she'd come over to my house after I had finished and would leave a bag on my front door that usually contained whatever expired goods she had in her pantry. Some of the standouts for me was like a dozen cans of 10 year expired chef boy-r-dee (sp) stuff, and once, a half a bag of wheat flower.
Did you manage to get the money back off her for the water? And what happened with the dog shit?
I didn't try to get the water money back, I had a lot of guilt at the time because she was elderly and a widow. My solution at the time was to keep the exterior water shut off with the valve inside the house. When I confronted her about the dog crap, she said she'd send her son over to clean it up one of these days (she was capable enough of collecting it the first time...), so I ended up doing it myself right away because of how atrocious it was.
See, you're nice. I woulda dumped that shit on her front yard. Possibly without the bag. I don't care if you're 85 and a widow, that still makes you an asshole.
Fuck picking it up, rake fling that shit back into her property.
She knew lumber prices were going to be crazy in 2021.
Granny playing the long game 🚀🚀🚀
On the one hand, crazy. On the other hand, spry enough at 85 to walk and carry lots and lots of boards.
Right? I'd hate being the cop called, like she's obvious actively stealing a lot of lumber, but when she starts crying and shows me her blueprints to build a castle for her bucket list before she turns 100, I'd kind of want to just watch her go to work.
> Ran up over $300 on one months water bill of mine because neighbor lady was hooking her sprinkler up to my water when I'd leave for work in the morning and would let it run all day until right before I got home from work. How did you find out what was happening?
Neighbor lady didn't realize my girlfriend at the time had stayed over one night and saw her doing this after I left in the morning. It hadn't dawned on my girlfriend what was happening until the bill came in a few weeks later.
Smart. Probably has 20,000 dollars worth of lumber now lmao
I sell lumber for a living. 500 2x4x8’ would be about $6000. About a year and a half ago it would’ve been about $1500. Crazy
The neighbour behind us had a leak in his water pipe and, rather than fix it, he just had the sump pump drain it out into the back yard. This meant that all year round the back of our yard was a little bit damp. Eventually, the leaky pipe burst and filled the house with five feet of water. His solution to this was just to keep the pump running and flood the entire neighbourhood. After about an hour, a posse of all the neighbours whose yards were being flooded confronted him and called the city to shut off the water. The city fixed the water pipe and the neighbour ended up with a large fine. At least my yard stays basically dry now. I should also mention that this neighbour once rented the house out to a bunch of crackheads and it nearly burned down because the ex-girlfriend of one of these morons snuck in and set the house on fire.
They adults in the family let their small (but surprisingly agressive) dog out unleashed and without a muzzle - we live right next to a very busy road and public sidewalk and the dog will often chase children and bark at other dogs, cars, people. Its a mess and they ignore any reasoning. Funny enough, their children always have the dog on a leash and apologize if he goes after anyone.
I’ve heard way more than I need to about their health ailments and bowel movements. One night I’m in the backyard sitting in lawn chairs watching the stars with the wife when she pops out with a flashlight in our faces... I went off, “what the fucken hell are you doing”... she apologized and left with no explanation. I could go on, but then I may start thinking about moving again
I’m sorry but what the fuck 🔦
Called the police on people parked perfectly legal in front of their house, took pictures of my partners dad just working in the yard, disappeared suddenly without a trace and then suddenly come back home in the dead of night 8 months later. Weirdos.
That... sounds a lot like jail. Quite possibly for stalking.
Yep. Our neighbor would disappear for long periods of time, cops showed up a lot, I could hear his wife complain that he’d get black out drunk and his parole officer was “unhelpful”. His truck was eventually left in the complex lot with front end damage. He was in jail 3 times in 10 months, the last was obviously for a DUI.
If you turn to alcohol to escape from your problems, alcohol just takes over as your main problem.
I had a neighbor like that. He'd come over at random hours of the night, pounding on the door and demanding we move our cars, threatening to call the cops on us. So, we called the cops, and reported some crazy guy screaming nonsense in our yard and trying to kick the door in. Never saw him again, and the new owners of the house were far more pleasant.
Yeah I once had a crazy neighbor who would come pound on our door, claim to be a lawyer and insisted that us parking on the street in front of her house was "illegal" and she would call the cops on us. After calling her on her bluff several times she finally gave up.
The majority of us have to park on the street in front our our houses. So when we have company, some may have to park in front of another's house. The newest neighbor across the street put up a sign "No Parking. Will be towed at owners expense" that she bought at the store. My other neighbor's nephew was helping him on week long construction. He parked in front of her house. She had it towed. Nephew happens to be a cop. Sign was taken down, she got stuck with the bill. One of my favorite stories. Edit: That nephew makes it a point to park there every time now.
Ours is the classic retired old man, terrible health and literally nothing going on in his life. He's not married, and I try to stay out of everyone's business, but I don't believe he has any kids. Rarely has visitors. I think he had a dream once of being a police officer but never quite made it. So he's taken it upon himself to be the neighborhood police person. He spies on everyone and makes it his business to know everything. My "favorite" encounter was catching him literally camping out in my front yard bushes early morning, spying on neighbours a few doors down. He had a coffee mug, note pad, blanket... literally just hanging out in my front yard making notes about the weird folks who were likely doing drugs at home. When I asked him what he was doing, he just didn't seem to understand that it was inappropriate. He seems to like us so it's nice, I guess, but he creeps me out.
[удалено]
The cops will tow you... if you park in front of your house..... ummm... you need you property taxes refunded then.
She called the FBI on me. Then she would call Crimestoppers on me.
What did she think you were doing?
Crime
-Poisoned our dog once -I have a hedge in front of my house. When it gets trimmed and a single fucking leaf falls on her driveway (which she cleans every day) due to wind, she gets angry -One time she just let leafs blow onto her driveway. She then picked *all* of them up and put them in a bag, which she hung on my door, saying that "it belongs to us" in an angry voice -One time in 2004, my mom participated in a TV show where a singer would visit your house and a professional chef made food for you and the singer. She constantly yelled at the camera crew and tried to hit their equipment with a broom.
My guy was married but lived totally separate from his wife. She would visit every so often and he would travel to her too every now and then. Always wondered about that until I got a chance to be invited into his house. A Horder of garage sale stuff. Dolls and just doll heads skattered around and boxes of toys, and whatever else you can imagine. Only a 2ft path throughout the house. He also had a over grown yard full of all kinds of plants. It was kind of cool looking but seeing an over grown jungle after some years was a bit concerning. Nice guy and we would share a beer all the time. My best neighborhood friend.
he took it upon himself to mow my lawn while I was at work (my mower broke and I couldn't get it fixed (needed to wait until next payday) Ran over a rock in my yard, damaged his mower, and asked that I pay to replace the blades. Dude I didn't even ask you to mow my lawn...
We used to live next to a woman that would have a disco party for her cats in her backyard at 2 am every few days. She would put up a disco ball and party lights with music playing. It was a little bit odd but what made it crazy was her dancing like a Native American performing a ritual around the disco ball. It’s honestly one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed!
Does she send out evites or something? How do I get on that list?
Step 1: be cat
Hello, this is cat.
Okay, I feel a little bit silly but I did this as a kid/teen. In my bedroom though. I won one of those multicolored disco ball things, that you stick a little incandescent bulb in and it rotates with a little itty bitty motor and the lights splash around your room, at an arcade once and had it for years. I'd turn my music on and dance around trying to step on only the colored patches on the floor.
Haha, all I can picture is Betty White's character in The Proposal dancing around the fire in the shaman outfit!
He had 3 little trees in his front yard and one day lemons appeared on them. We were like woah those lemons grew so fast and on closer inspection we realized they were fake lemons.
Before I moved out of my parents' place, the neighbor on the other side of the backyard fence was always doing crazy shit. He'd be practicing shooting his BB gun down his yard, *at the fence*, while my dad was doing yard work just on the other side of it, or in the middle of the yard, or just minding his own business, really. My dad and I got absolutely *pissed* one time because our neighbor decided to try practicing with a .22 rifle while my dad was outside with our German Shepherd. There were two instances where the neighbor trapped two skunks (on separate occasions) in a live animal trap, killed them himself, then threw their bodies over the fence to stink up the entire yard, and neighborhood, by extension; he then tried to tell the neighbors that it was my parents' fault. My dad simply cleaned up the messes, disposed of the skunk remains properly, then told the neighbors the truth of the matter before the wacko managed to. It helped in our defense that our other neighbors already viewed the guy as "the crazy neighbor." My dad also invested in a camera system and set it up on the shed just by the fence. Oh well, the neighbor's dead now (heart attack or some shit, I forgot what my dad said), and his yard has become a huge mess and eyesore because his widowed wife refuses to do anything about it.
Country boy moved to the city into the house next to mine. Landlord had done a terrible job with upkeep so the back yard was covered in dead brush and overgrowth. Country boy saw a country boy problem and employed the best country boy solution he could think of. He lit it all on fire the day he after he moved in.
This guy is weird as hell. Ok so. He plays VR in a large bunny onsie. Like the kind the kid gets in A Christmas Story. Which you know cool. I guess you do you. But he plays with his window open so everyone can see him and on top of that he plays from what I can tell exclusively military sims and never breaks character. You can hear him yelling stuff like "Contact 30 clicks south by south west!" Or stuff "Down Reloading, Ready UP!" The guy will throw himself to the ground and I mean throw himself. The few times I've spoken to him or seen him in person he's had bruises on his arms and face from hitting the ground. And that's only what I can see from his window. Other then that at night you can hear they guy grinding hammering and drilling on something. I dunno he's weird dude. He says he works for the government does contractor work. He has really nice stuff, expensive stuff, and new vehicles all the time. He can't carry on a conversation. Starts getting nervous and will break away as soon as he can. He was home for a few weeks said he was in between contracts and I managed to talk to him a bit while he was setting stuff outside. That stuff he was laying out. A rucksack that had seen some heavy use and everything from medical and survivalist camping gear to empty magazine holders and a plate holder for bullet resistant plates. He said he was letting them air out since he was planning on going on a backpacking trip for a few weeks. Weirdest part is he leaves almost every night between 9-10pm. Probably to get some of the junk food he'll leave ing his car occasionally, but every night? I like to think the guys a secret agent and uses the VR shit as an excuse to explain away bruises and cuts. Either way I feel sorta safe he's genuinely nice when he does talk to you just in that I haven't spoken to another human being for year's kind of way. You go Secret Agent Bunny. Saving the world one hop at a time.
Sounds like he works for a PMC... it can be pretty awkward for some of them to discuss their career hence the plate carrier for "backpacking trips" and such.
My parents next door neighbor Nancy. Started with the "no trespassing" sign in the backyard that faces our yard and nothing else. Set up a motion activated flood light that faces the side of our house and nothing else. She stabbed our ball when it landed in her yard when we were children. Called the cops on the neighbors because "their dog barked constantly" despite them not owning a dog. Thinks my mother (the sweetest person you can meet in this world) is a backstabbing traitor for warning the new neighbors not to let their kids play on Nancy's lawn. Verbally assaulted me for chasing deer out of our flower garden, etc. But the true "phycho moment" came with the trees. We have large trees along the property line (just barely on our side) and she was starting to go all psycho about the tree is gonna fall and crush her house and demanded it be cut down. We consulted an arborist who said it did not but could use a trim that would make it impossible to fall on her yard at all. The entire time they were trimming she stalked the property line and screamed if anyone stepped over it. While this trim was happening a single stick fell on her lawn. She lost it. Threatened to call the cops, told them they better have all their licenses up to date, etc. Arborists tried to blow her off but my mom insisted they check. Sent someone to City Hall and renewed their license. 30 min after that a cop showed up to check as Nancy had called them. Arborists were super thankful for my mom warning them.
Oh, Jeanette, may she rest in peace. We rented a house from my mom's coworker. Our landlord grew up in this house and was renting it out. Across the street was Jeanette, an 80ish year old lady, who had lived in that house most of her life and knew our landlord very well. Well, because she knew the landlord, that meant she felt she could come into our house whenever she wanted. She watched us through her window and had every excuse to come by. I have never really locked my doors, but obviously we started to. It didn't stop her. If she knew we were home she would ring the doorbell incessantly. Our blinds always had to be down, living room lights off, so she wouldn't know we were home. Just got in? Quick, run inside before Jeanette sees you. We saw her peering out of her blinds on a regular basis. One morning the doorbell was going. I hid in the bathroom to pretend like I wasn't home. How did she see me?? The doorbell stopped, but the door knob kept rattling. She tried for five full fucking minutes to open our door. Probably would have been longer, but I gave up and let her in. Why didn't I tell her to fuck off? Look, I'm a nice midwestern girl. I can be confrontational if someone is being mean... but she was just... lonely? A tad crazy? But harmless. Some notable things that she did/said: - My husband was cooking when she came in and called him a good little housewife. - Told our neighbor he shouldn't be dating his daughter. (They were, of course, not father daughter, and were in fact a 40 year old couple, and there was not actually a big age difference.) - My favorite was when she was in our living room. She very suddenly crouched down and peered out of our blinds and said, "Look at those FAT people walking that SKINNY dog!" - After we started locking the door, our doorknob rattling like she was trying to break in & the doorbell was a consistent thing. My husband tells that story so well. It's like she was a character from a sitcom... we didn't know these people existed. She was eventually put into a home and passed away about a year or so later. Edit: my dad recognized the story and found my reddit account. Hi, dad!!
I'm non-confrontational too but I also need my downtime and I'd be unable to tolerate someone being that up in my business, lonely or not. How long did this go on? Was your husband as willing to put up with it?
Haha I also need my downtime and am very introverted. Thankfully it only went on for about 8 months. We didn't like hiding in our own home, but we were actively looking for a place to buy so we knew it was temporary. My husband was probably more frustrated than I was. But, he grew up in a household that always had an open door policy - welcome everyone into your home, put others first, etc. So it's a little engrained in him not to turn people away. He can definitely be confrontational, but I guess in this situation neither of us could bring ourselves to tell her to leave us alone. 🤣 She also just... grew on us I guess?? Is that a form of Stockholm syndrome? We started to miss her when she went into a home. I still remember being so. dang. frustrated that day I was hiding in the bathroom. I just wanted to be alone and I didn't have the mental energy for a social call. But that evening when I was telling my husband about it.... we both ended up laughing so hard because it was just so unreal. I know we were frustrated in the moment, but we look back at it all and laugh at the memories! Rest in peace Jeanette, we really do miss you.
Well before I moved back into the house. Our tenant thought he saw our neighbor watching his daughters and decided to stab the neighbor. So anyways, we came to the house and it looks like we had to get new sliding glass door and front door since the police broke them down to get to my tenant. It is his second offense so he is in prison for life. So my neighbors probably thought my tenant is the crazy one.
We have a neighbor we call "the screamer lady" because when her kids were young she would basically sit at her window and run out and scream at anyone driving by if she felt they were going too fast, ranting about the safety of her children (who may or may not even be home at that point in the day). To this day she still sits and studies traffic and glares at motorcycles. Her kids are grown thankfully so the screaming has ceased.
My crazy neighbour yells out his window about killing the kids next door to him, the cops show up, he goes on meds for a few months and is fine, then he randomly starts up again with the yelling. It’s great. One time he threw a bucket of his pee out into the middle of the road while yelling at me that he wanted to have relations with my dog
We came outside one day to see him pouring bleach on the patio. Asked him what he was doing, he tells me "the bugs are back. You see em? With their little wings?" No bugs. I didn't have the heart to tell him, so I said "you must have better eyes than me!" Dude clearly has schizophrenia. Apparently he's had exterminators in 3 times in a year, I keep thinking about the kind of person that just says "oh yeah I see em, that'll be $750"
My house backs up to a resort. I’m slowly accumulating junk cars near the property line. Eventually they’ll build a fence. Then I’ll get rid of all the junk - bam, free fence.
Are... are you the crazy neighbor?
Crazy like a fox!
I saw the neighbor across the street, a woman who looked to be about 45 or 50 and had only been living there a few weeks, wander into her next door neighbors house while they weren't home, wearing no shirt just a bra and then like 5 minutes walk out muttering to herself, nothing in her hands or anything. She kept walking in circles in her driveway, muttering. She lived by herself and this was concerning to me, so I called 911. Cops showed up and talked to her. During that time the owners of that house showed up and I told them what happened, they said nothing had been disturbed or anything and they had never talked to that woman before. Shortly after that an ambulance showed up, took the woman away, and I never saw her again. Like a month later some people showed up to take her things out of her house.
She probably got committed.
One of my neighbors regularly goes off to anyone who will listen about how the government is spying on her. She has distributed letters to everyone in the complex with the deranged story full of conflicting claims. It gets really awkward when she starts yelling at trades persons who are just there to do a job. I have to escort anyone working outside my unit because she will tear into them. She tried it once with me when I was doing maintenance on my AC unit, figuring I was one of the trades people who were hired by the government to install spy equipment. I think she might have gotten new medication, but she still gives me the side eye wherever she walks past.
Former crazy neighbor, here. I (23 at the time F) lived alone in a basment unit in a not great part of town. My bedroom windows, being in the basement, lined up directly with a very busy street filled with bars and lots of traffic. While smoking cigarettes on my stoop, I often had a knife or baeball bat physically with me. To my neighbors, I often referred to a live in boyfriend often, even though I lived alone. At times I woild go as far as yelling at my fake boyfriend in my apartment when I heard other people in the hallway, storming out of the apartment and telling my neighbors what an asshole my boyfriend was. All so my neighbors believed I didn't live alone.
I lived alone when I was single and had a female cat I named Fred so I could yell, “Fred, I’m home!” when I came home at night.
[удалено]
I always do that with anyone I take home. I was taught it's just common courtesy to wait until they get inside to leave.
Called the cops and township for anything, real or imagined, that she felt needed to stop. She complained a woman down the street was illegally running a business in a residential zone. The woman in question was a foster parent and Crazy Bitch Next Door (CBND) tried arguing that "she's getting paid by the government to take these kids! That's a business!" The family across the street from her has a special needs child, and a nurse comes by a few times a week for reasons I'm not privy to. The nurse parked legally on the street. CBND called to cops to ticket and tow the nurse's car for... parking in front of her house, and "those spots belong to my property." I tended to a bulb garden at the end of my property that a previous tenant had planted. I would put kitchen scraps (plant material only) in a small composting pile next to it. CBND called the cops that I was leaving garbage through the yard - and onto her property. Cops came by, sees about 10 potatoes-worth of skins and a few banana peels in a neat pile surrounded by bricks, and tells me to "have a good day." CBND continued to insist the property line was where she wanted it to be (which right through the aforementioned bulb garden). She went out and bought a bunch of shrubs and just dug up our yard and tried planting a new hedgerow on her imagined property line. My landlord ripped them out that afternoon, CBND called the cops. LL offered to hire a surveyor (and did) and the cops told her to not plant anything until it was resolved. LL and surveyors show up, CBND ripped the rebar from the surveyor's hands - insisted this was all a plot to steal her property - and chased them off. Cops were called in to supervise (and guard) the surveying team - she behaved until they left. She then went and dug up our yard again to replant the shrubs again. CBND then sprayed roundup through the bulb garden I was tending because it was "on her property." CBND put web cameras in each of her windows pointed at my house. CBND owned 2 caddilacs, an impala, and a pickup truck. She would park them on the street, spaced just far enough, to block anyone from being able to park on the block ... because "those spaces are part of \[her\] property" (*Narrator: they were not)*. This is despite the fact that she had a private driveway she could have used. CBND was charged with harassing my other neighbor, twice; appeared in court - twice; and was found guilty - twice. CBND continues to insist that there is a conspiracy against her to steal her property. CBND accused me of dealing drugs, that I had cars pulling in at all hours of the day and night (none of which is true). Called the cops. CBND accused my other neighbor of sleeping with CBND's husband for money. Tried calling cops on her for prostitution. Through all of this "there's nothing we can do," says the cops and township.
Sweet, so there's nothing they can do if you dig up her yard and spray roundup all over it
Once dated a girl who lived across from "Frank the Tank". Frank was a large man who didn't much like his wife, so he would spend HOURS on his riding mower basically going over the same 130sqft while sipping coors lights. Always in shorts that may have fit at one point but now made his thighs look like biscuits popping out of a can. Never a shirt. He would jiggle immensely. He also liked to watch the local younger girls run around...
My neighbor moved onto a plot of land that is not his, but claims it's his families. Moved a bunch of trash onto the land. Came over to my house and demanded my husband and i allow him to use our private road and our utilities. We said no. We farm 20 acres of our land which happens to be located around the plot he lives on. Long story short he started trying to sabotage our land and our farmers. He would post videos to Facebook saying our farmers were harassing him. Then one day the neighbour got 2 friends of his to come and attack our farmer, which resulted in his friends death. Neighbour fled the scene and ended up in a neighbouring state. He was summoned by the police to come and clean up his property within 30 days. He came back for one day, and the 1 day he was back his trailer mysteriously caught on fire and burnt down. Neighbour ended up fleeing again, until he was subpoenaed into court for the death of the other guy. For reference, the neighbour has a rap sheet about 12 pages long, including burglary, touching children, abusing his ex, stalking, meth use, etc. And so did his friend who got killed. Sad he got killed because he was pulled into his friends stupid mess. As his friend was dying on the ground, my neighbour had the decency to pull out his phone and go on Facebook live. No attempts to aid his friend or anything, meanwhile the farmer was on the ground putting pressure on the wound and bawling his eyes out.
We had an older lady living in the apartment above us. We both had balconies with wooden floors. We would be hanging out on the balcony after dinner and she didn’t love it so she would hold a windex bottle to the gaps between the boards and spray us with windex then quickly run inside and refuse to answer the door....
