The people two doors up are fine, but the eldest son is a proper tt - kicked out of the army for being 'thick and violent' which I thought would make him an ideal candidate (not the thick bit maybe smile ) and he is a right bugger - he complains about me washing my car which makes the road messy, complains about my dog peeing and pooing in the gutter as it makes the road smell (obviously I ALWAYS pick up) and never comes out of his house. He is so unpleasant his Mum has now moved out and left him to it!

Last night, 4:00 am, big fight and he or one of his mates puts his fist through a car window and then a brick into the side of another. Police attended and lots of very unhappy neighbours...

Other than that, I think the odd neighbour is me. I do check my car in minute detail about three times a day, I do walk the dogs at odd times of day and night (midnight to 2:00am is normal for me) I do offer random strangers (but neighbours) lifts up the hill to our street and all that gets me is called 'weird'.

Butch lesbian couple next door. One keeps herself to herself and is friendly enough. The other one however... incessantly whinging to us about various issues is getting wearisome, keeps calling our cats into their flat and feeding them despite asking her politely not to do so, over-friendliness going as far as poking her head through our bedroom window for a chat when we're sat in there (ground floor flat but still weird) trying to pass down to me any old rubbish she no longer uses like an old bike pump then inviting herself to use my track pump when I informed her I had said item. Leave me alone crazy woman!
Move.

It's not odd and I've mentioned it in here before but me and my wife do get entertained by the couple next to us having coitus.

Last weekend it was so loud (and they're windows were open) some neighbours actually shut windows as you could hear them going one by one! Fair play to the bloke though, 45 minutes and I'd say she went three times...
Sorry about that!

One of our neighbours have just reversed all the way around the close (which forms a circle) in their Range Rover (badly). Just odd.

I did see one neighbour outside vacuuming the block paved drive with a dyson, other brands of vacuum are available.

Not sure if the Dyson is particulary suited to that particular type of hard floor?

I'm sure I'm going to regret asking, but WHY do you feel the need to check your car in minute detail about 3 times a day ?

Perhaps if the lift offered was in the car people wouldn't think you were weird

Parking, again!

We live in a terrace of 5 cottages, we have a gentlemans agreement that we only park outside our own houses in 'our' own spaces, sometimes guests come over and park over a neighbours space, not an issue as ultimately it's a public highway.....However the women in number 2 is fking odd. She firmly believes the space outside her house is 'hers'. Bear in mind she spends 1 or 2 nights in the house a month (gods knows where she goes the rest of time). Anyway last week the below appeared (and the oven, guess she'll shift that soon as it looks bloody awful)



Rocks in the road which mark the edge of 'her' space, it also worth knowing that the house which the rocks are next too is currently not occupied so parking is hardly an issue. She is also happy for her car to overlap the neighbours boarder so she's got double standards. I've moved the rocks on to her lawn a couple of times to wind her up although not going to confront because, a, I can't be arsed and b, I'm moving in a week or so. My mum is going to chuck them in the back of her car for her rockery the next time she comes past.

I may well have missed a memo on this but apparently there is a trend to install televisions in the garden now - two neighbours at the back of my rear garden have put up brackets in their gardens. One on their extension, the other right up the top of the garden on the fence. On a regular basis they run long cables out of their houses, mount the screens and sit watching TV in the garden. Often at volumes which mean I can't hear my TV inside the house if I have the patio doors open.

One of them also has a kids playhouse mounted on stilts next to our boundary fence, lots of wind chimes and garden lighting positioned so that it shines though gaps in the fence and into my living room.

Surrey

Not sure if its related to the Dog Turd incident (wiped across door handles of my track car the day I washed it)
After I left a rather colourful note - nothing else to report

I hope you brushed them off before the seagulls/pigeons crapped all over your roof!
