with about 8 houses on it.
Just odd, that's all. 
Do you have a problem counting up to 8....or beyond 8.
Or do you get to 8 & can't remember what it is you're counting?
Or is your "private road" many miles long, so long in fact that you've never been to the other end so you're not sure if there are any more houses you could add to the tally
yr post has made me smile lots though
The chavs at No 10 - 3 doors down.
Endless visitors, all hours of the day. Couple live there with 3 kids (2 bed house) plus 2 others who seem to be there most of the time (one younger scrote, one older). Then there's the visitors.
They all seem to behave the same way, they park up outside the front door and just sit in their cars smoking and playing with phones. Occasionally young scrote will emerge to greet them with some sort of gangsta handshake and then will either continue to talk to them standing next to the car or beside them in the passenger seat for up to an hour, then they'll either leave with said scrote or drive off alone. To be replaced by another car shortly after.
This goes on all day and into the early hours of the night, on some occasions scrote is standing between 2 Vauxhall Corsa's simultaneously chatting and sharing fags with the occupants of both cars, at 2 am.
Always the same cars, always the same occupants.
Freaks.

I may actually look like the odd one here but... It's now become a thing that around bin day, some people have taken to leaving their empty bins in the road during the day to reserve parking spaces for when they get home (less parking spaces than cars). The bin men actually put them on the pavement quite tidily so someone is moving them.
When I come back from lunch, I move all of them, not just the one in the space I want. And sometimes as a treat, if I'm not in a rush I'll manoeuvre them out of my space with the number plate bit on the front of the car like a bulldozer. Strangely satisfying.
They probably now do it to wind me up.

I have lived in apartments in Hong Kong for the past 8 years, zero insulation and a compete selfish attitude from the locals. In this time I have had;
Mahjong games going to 3am, dragging chairs and furniture the whole time and then running a bath afterwards (for the life of me I cannot link those 2 activities)
A lady upstairs wearing dutch wooden clogs in an apartment with wooden floors
Another lady holding dance classes for 7 or 8 people in her apartment 3 nights a week, including dragging all furniture to the outside of the room and back
Kids playing football in the apartment
Back in UK my neighbour is a single lady, shall we say of ill repute. She hosts the local hairdresser, road sweeper, pub landlord, gardener and anyone else who is desperate enough (ugly as sin) in her back garden. No joking full kit off and on the job in the middle of the lawn!!!

I really cant complain, not best mates with any of them but generally they are all allright.
Older couple one side who are very quiet and we help each other out if needs be, lovely family to the right.
There is one bloke who drives a bit fast. There are some Christians with a disabled daughter, lovely people but the daughter cant read and they post "Christian Aid Envelopes", once I varnished the hall floor and put a note over the letter box to prevent any deliveries onto fresh varnish, but bless her she removed it and the Christian Aid Envelope popped through onto the floor, I went round to berate whoever did this and a bit like Will in the Inbetweeners on the rollercoaster I stomp round and find her looking at me in a very puzzled manner
We are probably the noisy ones, my middle son makes music and it makes a racket, the dog is a noisy little sod if left to his own devices and when the old chap next door is out he goes and barks at him until I got and remove him.
The lady over the road has a laugh like a Witch/Crow/Pirate hybrid.

Current neighbours are great but this is the first house i've had, prior to that we had flats and they hosted all sorts:
- Noisy sunday morning sex with windows open. Like, a real screamer. Their window faces into the car park for the flat so lots of bemused looks on people getting in and out of their cars
- Took a parcel in for the guy next door. Knocked to drop it off at about 7pm and he answers the door in a silk dressing gown that barely covered anything. There was loads of candles lit and music playing, and as far as i could tell no one else in there. Super-posh w
k?
- A guy hitting golf balls into an upturned umbrella in the carpark. Aimed away from peoples cars but he must have been seriously bored.
- Topless sunbathing. We were ground floor and it backed out onto the communal grass area. Open blinds in the kitchen and bam - tits.
Prior to that in our first flat:
- Religious car washer with a private plate of "steevie G" or similar. Always parked in the same (non allocated spaces) spot and blocked you in if you parked there. Drove his car about once a month.
- Brothel. Red lightbulbs, dodgy men coming and going at all times of night.
- Mobile drug dealer, every other night in a fked audi A3 with a huge 'zorst
- Static drug dealer, got his flat raided at 7am (very entertaining)

Knocked on my neighbour's door to discuss a new fence I was having put in on our boundary. The wife answers (mid 30s) and says she'll need to discuss it with her husband, but can't at the moment as he is asleep in the car. And he was.
Now it's possible that he'd fallen asleep during a long journey and she had just left him there, except that he was in the driver's seat, and had a cup of tea/coffee on the dash. And since then I've regularly seen one or both of them sitting in the car, drinking tea, reading a paper and often with their 2 year old in the back.
Their house can't be that unpleasant surely?

I feel rather fortunate to have so far extremely normal and pleasant seeming neighbours.
We all have driveways for at least 2 -5 cars, there are occasionally cars parked on the side of the road but there is none of the petty behaviour exhibited on this thread fortunately.
That'll just mean you're the nutjob neighbour. HTH We all have driveways for at least 2 -5 cars, there are occasionally cars parked on the side of the road but there is none of the petty behaviour exhibited on this thread fortunately.
Not my neighbours, but my wife's boss's neighbours are members of this particular fruitcake club: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society
Lots of weird robes and chanting apparently...

The couple who live behind my house regularly use the bathroom, safe in the knowledge the frosted glass hides their modesty.
Except it doesn't. At all. Especially in Winter when they have the light on.
He also shaves his balls, whilst standing in front of the sink. Next to the window.

that is funny, but it isn't such weird behaviour as most here. They just don't realise how poor their privacy is.

I used to live in a townhouse complex in SA - these were identical units set out in rows opposite each other, but mirrored.Except it doesn't. At all. Especially in Winter when they have the light on.

The bathrooms faced into the middle, and we would regularly see a couple with arse pressed up again said bathroom window going at it. As the bath was parallel to the bathroom window, I guess they used to bath together and this made them frisky.
In the same complex, we had a couple upstairs from us who would have noisy sex as well. It would begin with him slapping her (judging by the sounds!) and would gradually escalate into full blown shagging, with her screaming and moaning for several minutes. Amazingly, we never heard him. This was made worse by the fact that the windows would tilt open (with the opening at the bottom) and they were right above our (usually open) patio doors! So we heard everything...
