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

[lengel]

I'm both.

One of our neighbors is a school for bipolar kids. This is a rural area and we found that the school doing several things on our property, including farming and horseback riding lessons for special needs children, all without our permission. I went ape on the administration and I'm pretty sure that I'm looked at as the crazy neighbor. BTW, I used to work in insurance and these situations were big bad uglies.

The same school recently had a "runner" who was caught on our property. I'll tell you what. These people are completely nuts. The "runner" was a teenager and the people who tackled him were younger kids from the same school. Then a whole bunch of adults came running across our property acting like they had every right to be there and did nothing other than talk on their cell phones. Eventually they disappeared across the back lot.

How crazy are my neighbors?

Wow, thought I was alone with the crazy neighbour syndrome, glad to find I am not, I too have a "neighbour" across the fields, and for the past seven years she and her partner have endeavoured to make all our lives and anyone else who even passes by her property miserable, I do believe she is a complete lunatic who hates the human race (she should have bought an island if they wanted isolation). BUT at long last and after many phone calls to the police by myself and other people who have been verbally and physically abused by her the police have issued an ASBO order against her, consequently she has not stepped foot outside her house (apparently) the neighbourhood is quiet (so far) and there is not that many of us in this rural community. What we also did was to keep diaries on everything that she and her partner did to us all. One woman even had a nervous beakdown and lost her livery stable business because of this most horrid pair of human beings she kept attacking the horses and their riders when they rode past her house! It took all of us a long long time before the police took action, BUT we got there in the end......Energy and persistance conquer all things, and I think Benjamin Franklin said that.....wise man I use it as my motto for life...........

Okay, now I have a story:

We live on a lake. Yesterday evening I came home and there was a bit of a party going on in our front yard. Several adults, including two women so obese that they could hardly walk, two babies, and several kids. Turns out they're renting a house across the street, and their landlord told them they could swim at our house. To make matters worse, our dock is being repaired, and there are stones, nails and beams all over. I was having visions of one of the enormous women dropping a baby or a kid stepping on a nail and suing us into the stone age. It wasn't an ugly conversation, it was just surreal. "We have permission to swim here." "I'm the owner and , no. Sorry." I called the landlord, but he wasn't home.

Quote:

back in Florida(Eustis) we had a 400pound neighbor that used to mow his lawn "topless" only in shorts.
One day my DD and me came from upstairs looking outside through the big window above the frontdoor. there he was mowing again, my DD stared at him for a few seconds and said"WOW mom, our neighbor has bigger boobs than you"

 

[Rhett&SarahsMom]

Wow. Just wow. See mine are just silly little nuisances. Nothing dangerous, for the most part.

We have another woman two doors down. When we moved into the neighborhoodd 7 years ago there it was a beauitful house.
Nicely kept, landscaped. Woman ran in in home daycare out of it. Well. It went on the market after husband came home one day to find wife in bed with a daycare dad. (mom had picked up her kids and also taken the daycare providers kids because they were all friends.)
It was on the market for 6 months and it didnt get a lot of "looks" Until one day a family pulled up with the realtor and soon enough a moving van pulled in and unloaded. Then the "strange" began.
It wasnt a fmaily. It is one woman. Probably in her 40s.
she hasnt mowed her lawn in the nearly 3 years she has been there. One of the first things she did was put up an arch on the front walk. It leans. Noticeably. I keep telling DH that I am going to just pull it over some night. He says he is going to fix it for her:/
My direct neighbors, the ones that were vacuuming their driveway because of the grass clippings. Are HER direct neighbors as well. So they have taken to mowing the half of her yard that abuts theirs. I think i saw her trimming the shrub the other day as well.. but only one side of it
Then there is a pool. Like I said BEAUTIFUL house etc. Had a pool and a nice deck. She didnt want the pool so she let it sit there half empty for 2 years. GOD it was awful. The smell of the stagnant water. And I am a door away! Then she had someone come in and take it down. Shortly after a green house went in. Which still stands empty BTW. I think she had told someone she was going to grow Orchids. But it is glass, so the glare off the thing is terrible. She has solar lights all over the back yard, which she doesnt use BTW. She told one neighbor that she had 7 indoor cats. Recently told another she has none. She had 2 Macaws. Used to be able to hear them squack 24/7 during the warmer months. Nothing ths year. Are they alive? No clue.
She brought a dog home one day. BIG dog that she can barely walk. Used to take it for walks twice a day(she worked from home or something. One day she decided to just let it loose in the neighborhood. I was in the back yard with my daughter and it came up in the neighbors drive. And stood there watching us. Not panting, not wagging it tail.Not growling either.Just stood there staring. Dog is as freaky as the woman. One dayanother neighbor caught it in his yard and walked it back overto herhouse. He knocked on her front door. Knocked on the windows. She wouldnt come to the door. so he opened the gate and put the dog in the back yard. After that she took to tying it out back on a short leash. And didnt clean it's poo or pee up. So another neighbor complained. Dog officer showed up(I didnt even know we still had one in the city!) Again she wouldnt answer the door. So he left a notice on her door. After he left she came out and got it. Her house GLOWS all the time as well. She has a fish tank or reptile tank in EVERY ROOM. I cna only imagine the smell in there.
One neighbors cat went missing. Another showed up half dead on the front steps of their house. We all still think she put out poisoned food.

She was walking by last week and i had our dog out with us on the porch. He began barking at her and she looks at me and says "Is that your dog?" me "Yes" She laughed and kept walking. I mean really. She has lived here 3 years now. Our dog is out daily. He barks. Why ask if he is OURS? I should have said "No. He just showed up here and I decided to keep him"

Oh. her little car is no longer in her driveway. I have seen her at the commuter rail station at night(8pm) taking the train inbound to Boston(there is no outbound, where we are is the last stop) Yet she told another neighbor she works in a town further west than us. Ah ha. No idea when the last time she washed her hair was. Clothes that match. Ya know. pink flowered shirt, with pink pants.Blue shirt with nearly the same shade of blue.

I think her family wanted her gone, so they set her up here and are paying the bills etc for her. Honestly.. if it keeps up I am going to call social services and have them come and "check" on her. She just isnt "right" I can just imagine the inside of the house being in squalor. Probably dead animals in htere too.

I will so win this game

When my boyfriend and I first moved into our house, the nice crazy lady next door gave us a welcoming please...this present was a old easter basket, filled with dirt, and an onion that had been in the kitchen to long and was starting to grow a little green out of the top.

She also offered us Dinner....which was "only god knows what" brown mixture of something inside of a christmas designed jar in july...to be honest with you I think it was beans...that have been in that jar since christmas!



Yup...that was our welcome present.


She Also approached my boyfriend once while he was working on the house outside, and said "there is a tressure behind your house" He went to see what it was and it was a broken desk some one threw in the alley, she then had him move it into her house, so she could "sell it later"

This same lady wears winter coats in the summer, and wears kids plastic costume jewlrey. I kind of believe she does actual have a mental disoder though so we try to be nice.

Oblio13, I would say put up no trespassing signs, that's what the police told us to do. BUT, I don't know the law where you are, they won't do ANYTHING unless THEY witness the offender on your property. So you can hope they stay long enough

. That way when the police show up they can't say, "but we didn't know". Good luck!
