Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
I would kill for some low grade nutty next door neighbours rather than the 2 window licking, helmet wearing fktards we currently have to put up with!
I’d even take the loud shagging ones over these 2 muppets!
Started off well enough, doing up the house after it was left empty for a decade. Kept it friendly and always kept the noise to a minimum. They even let us use their garden waste bin.
Then it all changed when they found out we were moving in ( I think the clue was us working on the place for 2 years before it was habitable). Here’s an extensive but not complete list of their attempts to drive me insane: Verbal abuse, property being damaged, threatened with a knife, talking to the dog about us, letting the dog bark at us constantly, telling tradesmen they were going to damage our house, smashing a small solar panel, letting another trade put a fence post up then hacking it to pieces with drills, saw and fire. Ripping off supports affixed to the to damaged fence post and stealing them. Stealing our bins and reusable bags. Driving over our alleyway in their 4x4 during the winter when they have no actual need to be driving on it ripping it up to the point where we can’t drive over it. Dumping rubbish directly behind our house, throwing dirty water from their back door onto our garden, cutting our rose bush back by putting cutters through the fence to damage it.
So far the police have issued them with warnings to them, fined them, visited them on several occasions, and now we are going court due to trying to attack me for no reason at all.
The best bit is even though the son lives there and parks his car in the garage every night, they both deny he lives there!
And why are they doing it? Who knows! Even the police cant get a decent answer out of them.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread, and the one a couple of posts above about the bloke playing low volume Italian music to his pigeons actually made me laugh out loud.
Anyway, I though pistonheads were the wealthy investor type demographic? You don't get neighbours like some of these in affluent areas
I must live in an affluent area as I don't have any weird neighbours, one is slightly odd, I really made an effort to say hello when we moved in, just to be met with a strange look each time. I eventually gave up when he turned up at my door asking for a quote for his patio.
Anyway, did the job, they were a little off but reasonably pleasant. They seemed happy, paid etc. the next Christmas I get a card off them telling me how happy they are and how they enjoy sitting out there on it.
Still now I just about get a nod of recognition when I see them. I guess they maybe shy perhaps.

My new neighbour is a really nice bloke. However one strange (but amusing) thing I have seen him do on a regular basis is to run from one end of the garden to the other, about halfway he will jump, pirouette and fart all at the same time in midair. Strange but amusing
Made me chuckle. Would love to have him as a neighbour

Having the windows open knowing full well the rest of the flats can hear them.
Next time they're at it, when they finish why don't you shout "NO!!! NO!!! Don't stop, I've not finished yet, keep going!"One side revs the guts out of the car when driving off the driveway. I hate to think how many clutches he has burnt out.
The other ones are really odd. They lock the door every time someone goes out, even if they are just getting something from the car on the drive or speaking to someone on the doorstep.
Then they have to knock and acknowledge who they are before someone inside unlocks and allows re-entry. Maybe they work for the KGB?
I just imagine this "Halt! Who goes there, friend of foe?"

I thought the "asking for a quote for his patio" was entirely random and the weird neighbour thing... rather disappointed this it your line of work Anyway, I though pistonheads were the wealthy investor type demographic? You don't get neighbours like some of these in affluent areas

There is a bloke who walks around Raynes Park, South West London holding very elaborate signs calling for world peace, stop Global Warming etc. The only other time you see him is helping his 100+ year mum walk around on a walking frame. See him all the time and would love to know his story but I'm afraid to ask!!!
