Tell me about the most bizarre/strange neighbor you have ever had.......

It's my current next-door neighbor.

He didn't like the privacy my tall foliage between his property and mine afforded me. So, he's come into my yard with his power equipment, and cut down my bushes and trees. He's done this 3 times.

I've called the police on the last 2 occasions. They just logged a report on their first trip to my house. The second time, they talked with my neighbor, informing him of the legal issues. So, he most likely won't be trespassing and destroying my property again. 🤞🙏 If he does do it again, I'll take legal action. With the police reports, I've got a good case.

But I do miss all my small trees, shrubs and bushes which kept me from seeing all the junk he has in his back yard. It's really ugly.

I can't put up a privacy fence tall enough to keep me from seeing into his back yard from the back of my house. I'm thinking of planting bamboo at the fence line in my yard. That can grow pretty thick and tall.

That guy has some serious boundary issues.

Kosmo Kramer (from Seinfeld ) type named Eli. We quickly became besties.

My next door neighbor in San Francisco was the kind of person who could turn a quiet Tuesday into a police report and a neighborhood legend simultaneously.

At 3 a.m. he once marched into his backyard wearing a bra, Boxers, combat boots, to “negotiate peace” with a raccoon he believed was stealing his tomatoes out of spite.

He mowed his lawn in perfect zigzags like he was landing aircraft, held full arguments with his wind chimes, and every Christmas decorated his house so aggressively the power company sent someone to check the grid.

Yet somehow, beneath the chaos, he knew everyone’s dog by name, shoveled driveways before dawn, and would appear out of nowhere with jumper cables, soup, or duct tape exactly when life fell apart.

Living beside him felt less like having a neighbor and more like being trapped inside a deeply confusing sitcom written by meth and candlelight.

I rented a flat underneath a guy who was known as an alcoholic playboy in the town. Once I had a friend round and water started pissing in through the light fixture so my mate dragged me up there and after a load of knocking he answered the door surrounded by 3 women all in towels obviously straight out of the bath. He was the loudest.

We've been lucky with neighbors, they've all been normal, decent people. Probably my favorites were the ones who had ducks and a Pomeranian dog.

A crank yanker nextdoor to my first apartment. he'd stand in the window whenever someone would walk by. The cops visited him a few times.

My neighbour growing up used to hose his lawn after rain..
it bothered me

I have a psychopath who washes his many cars like 100 to 150 times a year,

Into our house

I have a guy who lives across the street that is kind of a weirdo.
He hoards food and stuff, in his garage, then throws it all away in other people's trash cans.

That's a question you might want to ask my neighbors.

Current neighbors. Just shot off a firework and landed in my woods. Other side shoots golf balls. Dump yard waste. I'm about to call the police station and figure out what to do.

Well, certainly bizarre anyway. We moved way out in the country, where we could count the number of visible neighbors on one hand.

The most immediate neighbor was, I thought, a lovely person. Betty lived with her boyfriend, easily older than 70; he was totally deaf. Her 35 year old son Lester was impaired due a severe case of measles when he was 3. He worked at a gardening/landscaping business nearby. Betty was legally blind.

Our families bonded. When the weather was too nasty to ride his bike to work, we drove him there and picked him up. Once in a while we’d take them out to dinner. She babysat for our daughter.

One day the Sheriff called to inform us Betty had filed several charges against us, including exploitation of a vulnerable adult, theft and torture.

She claimed we took her son into a dilapidated shed and burned him with lit cigarettes until he gave us his money.

I was shocked to the core. I answered his questions, gave him names of a dozen people who knew us both. He said he’d get back to me. When he did, he said he’d talked to everyone I listed and everyone backed us up.

But since they had filed the charges, we’d have to stay away. We did.

A week later I was talking to a friend who was also my doctor and Sunday School teacher.

He said, “You do know she’s paranoid schizophrenic?”

I did not, but it explained quite a few things.

A man that had OCD tendencies but dressed like a ragamuffin, very bizarre

I used to live beside a crazy old lady from New York who would go on random rants. Once she told me she "punched a mosquito in the face". 🥴

I lived next to a pedophile. I know nothing about him other than that, which shows how mundane everyone else is here

One of my current neighbors is an elderly woman, with her middle aged daughter and the daughter's boyfriend. I affectionately call them "The Weirdlys". I've talked to the mom, but in the 4+ years I've been here, never the daughter or boyfriend. Their yard is an unkempt disaster and I suspect they're hoarders.

On the other hand, they're quiet and keep to themselves.

What and talk about myself. How dare I! I know I'm the one the neighborhood talks about. I'm the reason social media was invented. To talk shit about people like me 🤣🤣🤣

We had neighbors across the street who definitely win the prize. Do you remember the plastic bags that your newspaper use to come in on rainy days? Well they saved them. All the neighbors had cats and dogs around them, but they singled us out. They said our cat was peeing in their yard. So they peed in the newspaper bags and saved it. When they had a bunch of them they tied all the bags to branches of a tree in our yard. He was federal law enforcement and she was local law enforcement. They both needed mental health checkups.
