The "Whacko Neighbors" Thread

[ChiefRocka]

Don't know if this has been done before as the search feature tis no more. How about we lay all of our neighborly issues out on the planet and let the judge and jury decide what you should do the next time you and "the neighbors" are face to face across the street.
----------------------------------------------------------
Moved into a new neighborhood last June and I wouldn't say we were "welcomed" per se...no fresh baked pies, knock on the door & a handshake. Kind of expected though being where we are in society.

"The neighbors" across the street, late 30s couple (same as us) with a 3yr old daughter (we have a 3yr old daughter and a 1 yr old son). I've had a couple conversations with the guy and seems ok, known as the neighborhood drinker/partier....cool by me. The wife has a slight lisp which may contribute to the following: my wife has tried multiple times to strike up conversation with her being that they are both stay at home moms, to no avail. The wife actively straight up ignores her in common one-on-one situations. My wife will say "hi" she'll turn around and go inside.

"Different strokes for different folks" is what my grandma would always say.
"Sometimes you don't want to know people any more than a simple neighborly acknowledgment and should consider it a blessing"

My neighbors are assholes . I asked them NICELY if I could tie into their gas line because my gas bill was too high and they straight out told me to go to hell !

Brake lines? No need to go to that length when you can pick up some Bird Bombs!

We're pretty anti-social as neighbors go, but I don't have any major complaints. I get irritated by guys in the neighborhood who think it's OK to go tearing down the street at 6am on a motorcycle that's loud as hell, neighbors who party loudly in their garage until 2am (though that's usually a 1-2 times a year deal), and neighbors who think it's OK to shoot off (illegal) fireworks that land in my back yard when we're in a drought and burn warning, but that's honestly about it.

I lived in a very thin walled loft next to the Liam Gallagher portion of an Oasis cover band in the early 2000's, which was a living hell.

My neighbor reportedly fights with his wife a lot. He rammed into his wife's car last week supposedly because she changed his Netflix passcode.

We lived in a rustbelt community up until ten years ago. Last house we lived in for ten years. First five years, neighbors to our left were empty nesters yet not retired. One night, two guys, one white,one black, came to their front door asking for help or phone use because of a car breakdown. Neighbor says "no, sorry". These guys flip out and go for the storm door, which was locked. Neighbor closes house door n calls cops. They moved soon after, then things got progressively worse.

I'm generally pretty lucky on the neighbor front. Various neighbors will do some things that irritate me sometimes and I probably do some stuff that irritates them, but for the most part everyone gets along well and none of the sins are egregious. I only have one neighbor who is particularly grouchy and that's only when you throw your ball into his yard. Most of the time he's nice.

You can't end that story with "things got progressively worse". More details needed

Not sure, when I first bought my house.. Had a bbq, showed the inside to a neighbor that had to go to the bathroom. Later that night when I went out came back and noticed my downstairs door was unlocked. I never use it. ****er or someone else must of unlocked it. Was missing about 60 bucks from the beer table.

Do not talk to any of them. I think he knew.

What's a beer table?

My neighbors are ok but pretty boring. 73 year old next to me, who is from KC and is a Chiefs/Royals fan. I can't be in my garage with the door open doing anything without him coming over. Instead of just waving, he walks right into my garage while I am working on my car. It's actually rather annoying when I am cleaning my car and sweating my ass off in this heat. I don't want to talk. Neighbors on other side is house of 3 girls and a single mom. Very nice, not trashy.

Fat people across the street, last name is Rounds, no shit and all very over-weight. I wish they'd take care of their front yard more but that shit doesn't bother me enough to really care (no Milkman), plus they are ROUND and the one time the lady was out there, it was in a skin tight tank-top with massive sweat wetness going on. I'd rather she just keep her lawn long instead of me looking at that.

Neighbors in back had a ****ing horrible barking dark. Hours at a time. I wrote them a nice but threatening letter about filling a formal noise complaint if their dog kept me from enjoying out backyard. He rarely barks now so I really respect the owners for taking my letter seriously.

Neighbors adjacent to us also have a pool and many times are having pool parties. I think I should just say hey and invite myself over, wife says that's creepy. I say it's creepy having been here 1.5 years and never meeting them.

I'm now the jackass driving a loud car who leaves for work at 5:15 in the morning. I am waiting for a letter to come on that one, although many of our neighbors have commented on how much they like the car so maybe they'll let me keep waking them up 5 days a week!

You don't meet many neighbors outside in Phoenix though because almost no one is ever in their front yard. If they are outside, it's in the backyard. People here stick to themselves very much anyway.

mmmk. Well, we were five years into that house when that happened. The folks that moved into that house next were a strange bunch. Maybe devil's rejects? The dude was a linebacker type. Had a lame running 4x4. Louder than a tank. Had to warm it up for 30 min every night for the midnight shift. Had a "move in" party in which he planted his 5 foot stereo speakers in his empty backyard n blasted NIN " I want to @#$% you like an animal" to the elderly ladies across the alley. Welcome to the neigborhood. Then it got progressively worse.

My neighbors are pieces of shit. The man (and I use that term loosely), is a drug dealer, whom may or may not be a DEA/police informant, so he gets away with alot. There are always people coming and going in and out of his house at all hours. One time I walked out onto my front porch to have a smoke to find one of his SUVs parked in front of out house with all doors and tailgate open and a police drug dog making the rounds through it. Police cars marked and unmarked surrounding it.

His wife is a hoe-bag.

Their kids are annoying as hell, always revving up the ATVs and racing them up and down the street. I have considered getting a suppressor for my AR15 and putting a couple of subsonic 5.56s through the ATVs engines. I know it would be wrong but it would make me feel better.

I guess I am getting old, I dunno...

Meaty's wife adds: That she wishes thattheir house would blow up..

Freaking fat people!

That dog gets its chance its going for your jugular. It got debarked and is now gunning for ya. you think it doesnt know but it knows! You may need to get one of those bike helmets with the rear view mirror. You turn your back one day it will take its chance and make behind the back leap at your jugular.
