Let's have a "crazy" neighbor contest!!

[ButtonQuailBoy]

last year Every friday at around 2:30 am my senior neighbors were outside in their jacuzi doing "questionable things" (wink wink) in the middle of the last winter season and the old guy mows his lawn in his underwear w/o a shirt on...I've called the cops 3 times already on them including the time yesterday when his german sheapard ate 2 of my quails...

...Lets just say that chickens juggling atom bombs are less insaine than them)....I don't like them at all!

dacjohns, You don't sound crazy at all.

You are just "good-people" I am sure.

But plz don't tell us what you did in the army either!! Ha

My other response, which doesn't work as good now as it did in the Army, is "If I tell you I'll have to cut off your head and put it in the safe."

My neighbors are great...keep to themselves...and do not bother me one BIT. On either side they are GREAT!! But I do have to admit...EVERY time we see the neighbors EITHER side...they ask me how many chickens I have LEFT!!

I've never lost ONE to a predator and apparently both neighbors TRIED chicken farming and LOST all their chickens to predators at seperate times!!

It does bother me though that they ask this question every time I see them...it is quite RUDE!! NO FREE eggs for THEM anymore!!

Guess they have CHICKEN ENVY!!

Ok, my ex-neighbor snuck onto my place and put a dead baby skunk in my camper. Duh, wrapped in a napkin. I walked to her house to ask her if she saw someone put a dead skunk in my camper, and there was her trash can wide open full of these special napkins that matched the one around the dead baby skunk. We still don't know why she did it, except that she was missing some nuts and bolts upstairs.

THEN right after it happened she was gone for two weeks, and she tried to say she couldn't have put the skunk in my camper because she wasn't at home. Well, the day I found the skunk I saw her at home, as did my husband, and several of my friends. DUH. Most people, if they hadn't done it, would say I didn't do it! Not concoct some weird story that nobody would believe (because we saw her at home!!!).

She also had one glass eye and when she was perturbed, it would spin around in a circle. And bite her lip and spittle would come out when she talked.

She would throw her yard trash over the fence and then say she didn't know how it got there. One day I was walking my dogs up the road and saw her throwing it over my fence, gee, that's how it got there.

And one day she got mad about some holes in her lawn and screamed at me how she was mad that she couldn't throw the pits in her lawn over my fence. What the heck does that even mean??????

OH, and she almost burned down my house by doing a 'controlled' burn on a hot, windy afternoon. I noticed a wall of fire behind my house... They didn't have a hose or even a bucket of water to save their lives. I had fire right at my barn when the fire department arrived, and I was trying to fight it off with a little garden hose. We were incredibly lucky that day. That would be why I am now a rural volunteer firefighter. The FD saved my home from that psycho.

And the psycho - a few weeks later - tried to do another controlled burn during a burn ban on another hot, windy afternoon. Whacked out whacko, she just loved to burn things.

And OMG, the raking. She raked her driveway for at least two hours every day in the summer to get every last little twig. I used to fantasize about walking over with handfuls of twigs and throwing them everywhere, just to make the glass eye spin like the Wheel of Fortune.

Thank the Lord her house sold and she is gone, before I went crazy, too!

I'd have to guess that around here we're the crazies!

But we're not mean! One side of our property is backed up to a small neighborhood and at their association meetings we're often the topic of discussion! (I have a spy)

They're an extremely ritzy neighborhood. Huge homes.... small lots though. The value of thehomes over there are 5-10X more than our home (minus the property) And unfortunately most of them are snooty. We gave up our big home, and working full time plus... to be parents and raise our family. That's what we do now! So that's when we moved here. DH works out of the home... so is always here except for a couple nights a week and for conferences. Most everyday you can find us walking our crew through the woods and to the different ponds/lakes. So they (neighbors) think we don't work or anything! (uh, ok?) Plus the kids have tons of toys/bikes etc in our yard. We have two play structures, ride on toys, blow up jumping thingy... etc.etc..... balls galore. It looks like a playground! Oh wait! I guess it is! (we homeschool) But the neighbors can't stand it! Though they have to look really hard through the trees to even see it. Plus the chicken run now! So glad I have a noisey rooster too! He can't compare w/ the hawks and other noisey birds that swoop over daily, but he sure tries! We don't have a lawncare crew come do our yard.... and we don't have the bug/weed guy come spray because we don't want the chemicals around. And ya know I actually love looking at the wild flowers growing! They come and pick our berries and apples though! (without even asking) But hey, we're the crazies!???? Most of our problems stem from our son w/ autism. There is such a huge intolerance from most all people towards him. It's a pretty sad thing, that human beings lack empathy and understanding of others. As soon as people meet our son, they begin the attitudes and backstabbing etc etc. ("poor parenting"/"all the parents fault"... "he wouldn't behave like that if they did....") If the perfect parents who live over there could only walk a mile in our shoes for a day! Heck, for an hour!!!! Maybe they wouldn't think of us as the crazies!

We have had mean neighbors in the past. We prayed for them! We sent them cards! We send them anonymous gift cards! Nothing worked! We moved!!!

I got a nasty note in my mailbox about an "awful smell coming from our house when we do laundry" that "drives them inside on laundry day" and they had been "suffering for a while now". Plus a bunch of threats of what they would do "if they wanted to be jerks about it".

Turns out they didn't like the lavender dryer sheets I was using - they thought it was a septic problem! Honestly, where are their scent glands!

Being the nice neighbor I am, I offered to switch to unscented and hope that is the end of that.

Oh, and they shot our cat. But I can't prove that one.

Edit to add - we are on 7.5 acres, so it isn't like they are right next to our dryer outlet either!

Because of my neighbors, I have perfected the "Crazy eye" and the 1000 yard glare. I also have what is quite possibly the largest collection of legal paybacks and revenge plots under the sun. I didnt used to be crazy and vindictive, but living out here sure made me that way. I used to have the hardest time understanding neighborhood disputes, and when I would get called to mediate or deal with them, I would always be annoyed, but now I have an understanding of just how difficult it can be to have to deal with people. I never thought that my best friend and ally in dealing with "darn Dan" as we call him would be a biker, but my fearless neighbor fancied himself a big tough biker, and was always wearing his harley t-shirts out in his yard, and he even had the obligatory harley emblem tattoo. So when he kept giving me a hard time, and trying to harass me over my kids, my dogs or my chickens, I finally asked a friend to come over and visit, just to make things interesting. My friend was one who hated bullies, and he knew they guy had been a problem for me, so he was happy to oblige. He rides up on his bike after I called and let him know that the neighbor was home and outside, and you could hear him long before he arrived. He rolls into my yard and I go out and its big hugs all around, as the neighbors jaw drops to the ground. My friend sits on his bike and I start telling him about living out on the place, and I add the caveat that ,"It would be nice if I didnt have such problems with my neighbor", to which my friend asks,"Which one?" and I very openly point to the evil one, and say in a loud voice,"Well that guy seems intent on making life hell for me and the kids!" and my friend says,"Well, I will go talk to him for you, maybe I can change his mind about being a better neighbor." and he started across the yard towards the guy. I dont think he even made it two steps before we both realized that the guy had run into his house and locked the door.
I guess I should add that my friend was a Hells Angel and he was wearing full colors, and even though he was only 5'4, he could be a pretty scary little fella!

The evil neighbor left me alone for years after that.

CritterHill, I have a neighbor a lot like yours.

We have an old tractor that sits on our property, about 150' away from our neighbor's home. She actually complained to me one day that she could smell the tractor, while NOT runnning, on any hot and humid day, and said it's even worse when running. She has to shut her windows because of it. So in retaliation...my DH let the thing run in our driveway, which is only 35' from their house, for about 1/2 hour, and boy did it smoke.

Wierd people out there! I just want to know why it is that neighbors just can't keep to themselves?
