Weird neighbors..

[TrystInn]

Let's see -

Neighbor to the North is a pot-smoking Dungeness crab fisherman. I really don't care if my rabbits are constantly stoned from his smoking in the shed, the rabbits seem happy and he's quiet. Plus, he gives me several dozen crabs each time he goes in exchange for filling his propane tank.

Neighbor to the West is a contractor and off-Island most of the time. I've hired him for a few jobs and it takes forever to finish anything. But he's quiet, brings over bowls full of kitchen scraps for the birds and rabbits, plus he keeps an eye on the neighborhood.

Neighbor next to him, young couple with an unneutered pitbull who likes to charge people in their own driveways so now we're all afraid of it, no fences of course. They are really nice folks and love our animals, but they seem to be stupidpetowners and loud to boot. Right now they are rocking two black leather couches as a sort of outdoor living room in their side yard.

Neighbor on the other side of him, nice older lady. Runs the local psych center for DSHS. Keeps to herself and very quiet. We like her. We're not fond of her clients who used to visit for appointments.

Neighbor to my South, single mom of two girls, both are "special" in a way that requires psychiatric care. Caught the young one in my house a few times, now I keep the doors locked even when I'm home or out back. *eye roll* Mom is never home. Older teen is in really bad shape, just announced on Facebook she's transgendered and insists no one understands. I try to help out by helping when the younger daughter disappears or the older one gets stranded and needs a ride.

Neighbor to my East, great lady. Runs a doggie daycare from her 5 acre home, so yes its loud but I have 3 dogs (two bassets and a border collie). She's uber-responsible and very interested in keeping us all on great terms with each other. We adore her and have since we first met. I have four roosters and she told me to tell anyone who complains that the noise is coming from her place!

Hubby and I were working on our chicken coop and I stepped behind it (its a big outbuilding) and saw my neighbor leaning over the fence cupping his ear trying to eavesdrop on us. I think I screamed in surprise and he ran in the house. Creeper!

i have some odd neighbors and i guess i can be seen as odd at times. the guy next to us is a old guy who mows his lawn 4 times a week and yells at me because i do not do the same. he always trims our bushes because he likes to see our backyard and then gets upset if he sees something not up to his standards so it makes it a little hard to live by him but he is still an ok guy. the house across from us used to be a renter and the last guy who lived there before it was sold was odd for sure. one day he got in a fight with the mail man because the mailman would not pass out flyers for him and tried to pull him out of the mail truck but luckly the mailman floored it and got away. the guy used wood kitchen chairs as jack stands for when he worked on his car. always had police and debt collectors looking for him and oh he loved to shoot fireworks at our house. i am very happy he is gone lol! but for the most part i have good neighbors. now i have been seen as odd in the past because me and my brothers often make life sized halloween decorations such as a coffin or an electric chair but hey tricker treaters love our house and come every year just to take pictures with whatever we build for the year

Only weird thing I ever saw was a neighbor riding his mower round and round their bon fire at night.

Well let's see...

East: Trees, high school behind them. Not a "bad" neighbor, just have to put up with band practice and football games.

South: Currently a soybean field, house is about 2 lots away from ours. We've never talked to them, but we've waved. Older couple with a lovely garden that I'm totally jealous of.

West: About 5 houses in view, I've only talked to one and she is an elderly lady who will wave at us. Directly across from us is a couple with a teenage/early 20s daughter who has a 1 1/2 yr old and moves in and out of the house. They have two grade school kids who play in the driveway and almost get run over all summer. They make me so nervous. They have a stinkin little mutt who used to come over and "visit" my horses... I chased him out of the yard once with a lunge whip, didn't hit him, just threatened. That's the only time I've talked to her and it wasn't too pleasant.

North: Trees, can't see the neighbor's house. We met some of them last fall when we heard someone crash their truck into a tree. That's the only time we've talked, but they were pleasant enough that if there was a problem, I wouldn't hesitate to go to their house.

I'm not very social. I'm shy and would rather sit back and observe. I was the girl in high school who was called stuck-up because I didn't talk much. That couldn't be further from the truth. Now my husband will talk to anyone, anytime. Go figure.

That doesn't sound too weird what you mentioned in your first post. They sound like they're really private and like being out at night and not during the day.

I've had to live near mentally ill people who do all kinds of strange things. This one guy insisted that his neighbor next door was purposely torturing him with their TV. He was going over and banging on the door next to his. But, the thing was, the door next to him was a storage room where no one lived. He also would go over to my door and jiggle the doorknob. And, I've heard stories about him harassing a lady on the other side of him claiming she was doing something to him, too. He's cussed me off a few times for no reason. Finally, he was evicted, but not fast enough.

Another neighbor near me insisted that gang members were trying to put bombs in his car because he was a witness to some crime. He would check his car thoroughly each time he had to drive it. And, I think he wore a disguise when he went out. I'm not entirely discounting his story, though, because where I live, it's entirely plausible that it might be true.

We are probly the "weird neighbors lol, Were the one's who had a stray chicken show up and lay a nest n hatch chicks.... Had a STray dog show up , and ended up keeping it. have they Overly Hyper ADHD kids running like The energizer bunny all over the place.... Dale Jr and Nascar Refrences Painted all over our car window's with that car window paint... lol.. Need i go on LMAO!!!


but I dont knw any of our neighbors except the ppl across the street.. and that is only beacuse one afternoon someone broke into their house when they were not home.. and the kids who are in HS came home.. and discoverd that it had happened and came running to my house for help..... and we told them that if they ever need anything that were always home..

then they got broke into again (dads' x girlfriend kept doing it) and again they came over to see if we saw anthing. and another time the older sister kicked the ever loving crap out of the younger one.. and i heard it.. ran out to see what the Prob was and Ended up bringing the younger girl home with me to clean her up and call her parents and comforted her.. I only know their last names.

Their Grandparents use to live in the house then moved and they moved in. and i would talk to the Grandparents alot. but other then them I only know the name of 1 other neibor and he's well a stuck up snob and likes to flaunt it
