Who was the crazy person in your neighbourhood growing up?

Well, I had the evil woman to one side of the house that once organized a street meeting to confront my mother about our cats wandering about, when my dad found out he went berserk and when the woman's son slammed the door on him he nearly went through it. Then the woman on the other side was the gossip type, she'd go on and on and on and on and on and on about other people's lives to you. I'd often have to sneak down the path to avoid running into her, she told the people down the road that my father beat my mother till she lost the baby. I mean sure, my father did beat my mother, he beat us all, but that's not why she lost the baby, my mother just had problems when she was pregnant.
Your dad sounds like the crazy person on your street...and the anti cat lady.

I had a convict who lived next door to me that would tell me wild tales of languages he knew, dogs he trained and his feats of strength. He also spent a lot of time outside my house in the dark looking in my windows.
@Allelse Even teh very few other white people in the neighborhood were nice, luckily.
I think he tried to strangle her with a rope? she got away and was able to hide and call the police.

@nonsensiclesnail Just the other day I was down at the cafe and there were lots of different folk with different backgrounds, and the waiters have thick accents but are grand at their jobs. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the place has recently been bought by Lurch. He's this really tall white guy in his 20s who has recently showed up and is always there, helping here and there. Anyway, he's hosting and this angry old white man turns up.

"What's going on with this hole in the roof". Outside of the cafe is this covered walkway where there is a hole in the roof.

"Oh yeah I know, I got onto the owner but he wont fucking fix it, you can't make any sense with him, he's barely got any fucking English". Says Lurch, which was followed by them both slagging off and carrying on.

His chef and his waiters don't have English as a first language, and a lot of his customers are from all around, and there he is going all angry white man.
@Allelse Racists are exhausting, regardless of their skin tone. I often wonder about people like that, using a language barrier as a reason for anger.

Ours were ok. The lonely woman next door kept knocking on the door everyday as she wanted to he invited in for morning or afternoon tea. Her husband was a sailor and gone for long periods at sea. Then she stopped coming in the mornings as she had befriended the baker and he kept her company of a morning!!!
