very religious, they have like 13 kids. They’re homeschooled. The girls aren’t allowed to wear pants, shorts, anything above the ankles. Don’t even think the daughters are allowed to drive but their sons are allowed to.
The boys won’t make eye contact with me. Very strange.
They are target practicing all the time (constantly hear guns going off)
They also shot one of our cats. Or at least we assume it was them because they’re our closest neighbors….
Also the mom came over one day trying to get us to sign this petition about something political that I won’t mention.
I just straight up told her “nobody here is signing that”
Over the years ive had some lovely neighbours and some awful ones.
The last place i lived the neighbours there are awful which unfortunatly my mother has come to find out now she lives there
These paticular neighbours (mother and daughter) we nickname pinky and perky as they painted all their fence bright pink. It dribbled into our side of the fence so we were painting over it. Anyway they went ballistic saying its their fence and we couldnt do that.
Over the years they have got worse. They antagonise my pug when she is at my mums tk make her bark in the garden. They apy outside their window at us. If we park outside the house they both come to the window and watch. My mum was doing gardening in the garden the other day and they opened the top window and shouted out “cutter cutter”
Crazy ■■■■■■■. Nobody gets along on that street. Im glad i moved.
Our current next door neighbour is odd though. He has 28 chickens in his back garden. About 6 birds in his house. A parrot. 2 cats and 2 dogs.
He really needs to give alot of those up imo cos he can barely take care of himself. The poor dogs never get walked. There is bird poo all over the house and it stinks of cat wee.
Still. I think they keep him going. He lost his partner not long ago so i leave him to it.
We are renting a townhouse, so we have a lot of neighbors pretty close. When we moved in, we had a pair of dogs. One was always silent, but the other would bark if she saw someone on the road behind the house. A neighbor started going out of her way to walk so close to our patio that she was pretty much tromping in the flowerbed, trying to get a reaction out of my dog. If my dog barked, she called the management on me. One of my kids saw her ON my patio one time, just trying to provoke my otherwise quiet dog. Same lady honked her horn at kids, either while she was in her vehicle and driving into our courtyard or by pressing her alarm button if she was in her house and saw kids near. She took to complaining about kids riding in the street (it’s just a little inlet with only one way in/out). So they were forced to ride on the sidewalk when she got management to issue a notice to residents about no more riding bikes on the road. But, she then complained about kids on the sidewalk, and none of the parents (5 couples) knew what to do. She got caught videotaping the kids (for proof of some unknown offense) and a bunch of parents were angry and called the cops on her. She got lectured to high h*** by the officer who came out. At that point, I was ticked, and everytime I’d get a complaint letter that originated from her, I’d bug the office about something she was doing. They stopped bugging us about her every little grumble when they realized we could annoy them too. Before she left the community (hallelujah!), she caused issues with parking, too. Now all spaces are marked. This was not the case before, and it isn’t the case in other courtyards, but we are left with assigned parking as a reminder of the awful lady.
The guy who lives next door to me growing up had 6 separate fires at his house. He had a shed that burned down 3 times and his house burned 3 times (though I wasn’t alive yet for one of them)
He would constantly do “woodworking” in the middle of the night and though he was a good woodworker nobody really believed that’s what he was doing.
He also never used the front door and would constantly hop out shared fence to leave his house
this is a crank head neighborhood…always having to close our back gate to our yard because someone tries to get in our locked shed all the time…which is dangerous we have to check before we let the dogs in the back yard…pain in the ass.
Growing up when I lived with my family we had some mildly annoying neighbours that always made a fuss about anything possible. They came over once when I had some friends over listening to music at 10PM at a fairly normal volume and asked us to turn it off. Bare in mind this wasnt a rave or stupidly loud with massive speakers or anything. It was a very normal home hifi and it just sort of set the mood for the room. We were all talking over it. Someone apparently told him to ■■■■ off (I was elsewhere at the time). Bare in mind these are detached houses and again - wasn’t loud.
The same neighbours would very often host breakfast garden parties at 8AM on Sunday morning where they would sit outside drinking and talking sometimes listening to the music as if it was the middle of the day. It really annoyed me how hypocritical they were. In their garden I could hear everything they were saying/doing as my bedroom window wasn’t that far and they woke me up plenty of times. Obviously I never complained because its their choice but yeah - going around telling people what they can do in their own houses is not right especially if you don’t actually share a wall and people aren’t being obnoxious with sound.
They are also super precious about their lawn. They put up metal fence posts around a specific plot of grass near our house so that people couldn’t park on it. That might not seem like a big deal - but people have to park somewhere and it seemed like a really petty thing to do for very little reason. One of my parent’s friends confronted him once and asked if he should park in front of his drive instead.
And the guy would mow his own lawn multiple times every single week as if he had some kind of obsession with it being a certain length.
Another thing that was weird was they came over once after my parents had been away for a week and asked us if we had all our stuff (expecting us to say no) because they had seen someone come in while they were gone (I had been in and out a couple of times). I always found that odd because if they were so concerned we were being robbed - why did they watch and do nothing - wait a week, and then come tell us about it when it was far too late to do anything about it.
We suspected that our upstairs neighbour back at the condo was a sex worker. She would have one or two male guests every evening and they were always different. And there was always bouncy bouncy upstairs during the visits (you could hear everything). There was one time where we heard her screaming WRONG HOLE WRONG HOLE followed by the sounds of someone being hit a lot and then a young fellow was shoved out her front door in his undies and locked out. It was wintertime.
We had a clique of neighbors that would get together and have parties outside. They waited for nightfall, and then they started bonfires and were drinking and loud until like three or four in the morning. They used to take turns which patios that they were on.
Unfortunately, many times they would leave their young children alone in the house when they walked down to the host house to drink and party.
Edited: I forgot to mention some of them moved, including the worst ones. The worst ones got everybody together.
I had a neighbor who was an old white haired man who came charging out of his house to accuse my dog who did not do this of pooping on his lawn. Another time he was driving behind me at the supermarket and he blared his horn nonstop until I pulled over.
I had a neighbor forever ago who “planted” fake flowers in cylinder blocks outside every spring. She was also the resident crazy cat lady. She was more amusing than anything.
In the same neighborhood, we fostered Saint Bernards. A neighborhood girl once let herself into my fenced yard, presumably to use my pool, and was met with a few very, very big dogs. None of the dogs left the fence, thankfully, even though she left it open. She never snuck back in.
