Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
Went to a neighbours house for a barbeque and few drinks last saturday. Picked up a plate, bright and white, thought to myself better than expected for a BBQ.
Noticed a brown line around the edge of the plate, thought it was a pattern, turned it over and it was brown, tacky and greasy.
The hostess saw me looking.
"Yes" she said, "no point washing the side you don't eat off"

The middle aged man who lives two doors up from me seems to make short trips in his car throughout the day.
The majority of these trips seem to last no longer than ten minutes except for his regular evening trip which tends to consist of him leaving at 19:50 and returning at 20:10 on the dot.
He also only washes his car when it rains; a few nights ago during a particularly heavy downpour he was washing his car and then rinsing it off with a watering can - most odd.
His girlfriend is similarly odd and refuses to acknowledge anybody on the street when walking past even if you wave and say hello as she walks past your garden

I have a neighbour who does just the same in terms of short trips, seven or eight a day, out for 10 minutes and then back.The majority of these trips seem to last no longer than ten minutes except for his regular evening trip which tends to consist of him leaving at 19:50 and returning at 20:10 on the dot.

As for washing his car in the rain, do you live in a hard water area? I have heard of people wanting rain water to rinse the car, especially if its a dark colour.
We've just moved in to a small close.
Our next door house on one side consists of a family of 4. All blinds are always down (even today when it's dull and cold). The mother will not take parcels in for anyone else, so the postie makes her drive 10 miles to the sorting office to collect! When we take parcels in for her (I work from home) she sends her kids to collect them (they are addressed to her).
On Saturday we held an open house drinks party - she didn't come. Kids and husband are lovely.

I'm guessing she has a phobia or two.Our next door house on one side consists of a family of 4. All blinds are always down (even today when it's dull and cold).

Last night there were some foxes doing what I can only describe as f
king screaming as loud as they fking could, this woke me and the mrs up at 2am, after a few minutes oft his hideous shrieking I shouted as loud as I could "shut up"
This got shouted a few times, with the mrs telling me to stop, in reference to my favourite saying in an inbetweeners film I yelled grow up at them a couple of times as well. My mrs was telling me the neighbours would recognise my voice and wonder wtf was I doing yelling at foxes at 2am.
Anyway this went on for a while, genuinely winding me up I told her to tell them to shut up and next thing my wife is yelling shut up at them
The foxes carried on, I got the wife to shut the windows, shut the blinds and then put a pillow around my head to dampen the shreiking.
So last night without a doubt I was definitely the neighbour doing odd things

Old neighbour of mine did the same. He was pretty fine with it and his clients tended to be uni students etc and it was only pot so wasn't too bothered.

Our neighbours opposite - normal-looking couple, late 30s at a guess. Nice house, one car (quite old Pug 206). Never go out to work - in the traditional sense of out in the morning back in the evening - and in fact only seem to go out together.
I'd assumed they didn't work because of not needing to somehow, but then they mentioned 'clients' in a conversation with my wife. She doesn't like tp pry, and they don't chat often, really keep themselves to themselves as a general rule, so no more info than that. (I'd just ask them, but that's me)
Drug dealers? Assassins?
The truth is probably quite mundane....

Hi, first time poster (in this thread)
I have a neighbour who feels the need to tell me everytime I'm going out that his motorbike is much faster than MX5, which I am obviously hugely aware of anyway, without having the same conversation repeated everytime I am about to pull out of my drive. He makes sure he gets in that his bike would "Wipe the floor" with my "sports car" every time we have a conversation.
It like he gets a little buzz from saying it to me.
Wierdo.
