My old neighbour was a raging alcoholic with some pretty serious mental health issues. Things I saw him do:

1. Abuse the goldfish in my pond. I mean literally leaning over the fence screaming "You think you'rs so &*^$ing good, swimming up and down, you come over this side of the fence and I'll &^%%ing have you!!"

2. He would sit in his car, in the garage and rev the absolute hell out of it. One day he knocked it into drive and smashed it straight through his garage door - from the inside.

3. He would order a taxi, forget he ordered it then come out and scream at the taxi driver waiting outside his house for "spying" on him.

4. One time the cops had popped around to see my flatmate to get a statement about an incident at her work. He saw the car out front, assumed we were complaing about him, and took to it with a cricket bat.

Sounds fun. The goldfish thing has me laughing in the middle of my office.

My neighborhood is an interesting one, I can't wait to move.

1. Left (first house), neighbor's wife is nuts, she went to spas and bought expensive stuff and her kids were wearing rags. The kids were our friends and I babysat her daughter free for about 2 years until she got jealous she was chatty, learning english and loved being in my house. She got into some sort of religious cult and decided to leave her husband on Jan 1st, taking out all of the furniture. About a month later she came back, without furniture.

2. Left (second house) A woman used her backyard as a rental property and all of a sudden the whole street was full of trucks carrying lumber (yes, lumber), also her husband had some sort of shady businesses or some really bad luck that the house was raided about 4 times by cops, caught fire twice, was demolished and rebuilt, about 2 people died in it as well as it held huge parties and a funeral (his funeral). Also she had a bunch of angry rottweilers who loved lo be out in the street leash-less; one of them bit my brother and the lady came to us demanding money to pay for the dog's trauma (not even joking). ATM she's flaunting $$$ but she does not work, expecting another raid soon.

3. Front (first house) woman with young daughter, no husband but from wealthy family was on the mission to set up the daughter with the best man possible, since the girl was a looker but not much of a thinker. All of a sudden she went on a trip to the US and was expected to return in a week, that was about 8 years ago. Turns out girl ended up pregnant from the worse guy, dropped out of university and started renting out the house, now all of her tenants are leaving her since she was spending the rent/utilities money on booze; left her kid alone at the house without food and their power/water/disposal services were being constantly cut off.

4. Front (second house) is a house about half the size of mine but somehow a complete family lives there per room (about 20 people live in the house), they all have cars and park them EVERYWHERE. If there is a birthday/funeral/holiday/prayer circle it is awful since they clog up the street. Parents were hard working people who broke their backs giving them education and proper things and now they are all a bunch of brats raising brats.

5. Right (first house) are apartments, usually families switch but 2 have remained. One is a former nun and a priest that met through their preparation, 3 kids, 2 are great 1 is a complete stoner. The other family has a husband who has had the same job since the beginning of time, and was good before but now not so much.

7. Right (second house) family of four, humble parents, hard working. Somehow the daughter thought she was too good for her family and she started asking for ridiculous amounts of money and impossible presents (trips, a super expensive phone, a car, language lessons, violin lessons), that the parents bought either way; she never took one class and she sold all of the stuff she was gifted. She requested a private university and the parents fought and paid for it, she didn't even enroll; parents went through some financial struggles and started renting out rooms and set up a store but she kept taking the money and abusing her sister in law. Got pregnant of 2 different (married) guys and left her kids in the house. Kicked parents out of the house. Father passed away, mother became ill and was left under daughter's care, she had already recovered but passed away later on from malnutrition. Sold the house, rents out one of its rooms. The son is a good guy, hard working, loving wife and 3 kids (despite 1 passing away), somehow he ended up in the middle of a fight of some relatives and the police arrested all of them, his record went to the gutter and he can't find a job.

8. Back is a rental property, with 2 teeny tiny rooms. First there was a couple, then their 2 daughters, then the grandmother, then a cousin, then a sister in law and her 2 kids. They are some sort of hoarders.

Yeah, I'm not much at home; did I mention that?

The next road over is an older woman that just retired last year. She has decided her new job is to be the caretaker of all the wild cats in our neighborhood..... She has created a cooler city for the cats in her front yard (have ya ever heard of taking the styrafoam coolers, turn them upside down, cut a door out, and then you have an instant cat/small dog house)..... If it was 1 or 2 during the winter it may not seem so strange.... but we are talking year round cooler city! Rows and rows!

That is actually quite nice, I can't imagine the smell though. Cat urine is hard to clear.

I'm going to spare you all my craziest neighbor story.

But, I have a neighbor situation. The people in the apartments across from me left a note on my adjacent neighbors door telling him to stop throwing cigarette butts on the ground. Then he left an angry response on the ground between our apartments. The neighbors that left the original note moved away. But, the smoker neighbor is a huge grump to me now. I don't even want to try and correct it because I don't want to talk to that grump now.

My neighbor is one crazy *kitten*. She ripped down part of our fence before in front of us, and proceeded to start a fight about it lol. She ran away from the cops trying to talk to her about a few incidents. She hit someones car with her car, and just sat in her car refusing to come out till the guy gave up and left. She throws out all her trash from her car all over the street. Never picks up after her dog.

Basically shes quite the gem.

I think I have been that crazy neighbour.... when I was a teenager, my family had a barbeque, and my family is kind of cursed in that every time we have a barbeque it rains (well maybe that's just how it is in Britain lol...) - and my family will insist that barbeque food *must* be eaten outdoors, no matter what the weather.

So there we are, in torrential rain, total downpour, eating a full barbeque meal at the garden table under the "sun" umbrella (which didn't offer adequate protection from the rain and we were getting totally drenched, although we were managing to keep our plates from getting flooded).

Anyway, our neighbour comes out of her house, dressed in a full sou-wester, plastic mac and wellie boots shouting after her dog... She stopped and just looked at us and then said "Well I must say, that's very British!", grabbed the dog and ran back in.

My own stories of crazy neighbours....

well the first place I lived in after leaving home.... shortly after moving in I found out that one of the neighbours had been tried but not convicted for a series of notorious murders; the police had screwed up the evidence and he had actually confessed but it couldn't be admitted, and no-one else had been tried for this crime. As in it's likely that he did it but the police couldn't prove it.


Totally different kind of crazy.... when I lived in Saudi Arabia, one morning I was awoken by the sound of a chicken. Went into the back yard. There, indeed, was a chicken. Chickens do not live wild in Saudi Arabia, and our apartment had a ten foot high wall all around it and this chicken couldn't fly so it was a complete mystery as to how the heck this bird had got there. A bit later, there was a knock on the door. It was the upstairs neighbour asking if we'd seen their chicken. Turns out, they kept chickens (in their upstairs apartment!!) and this one had fallen out of the window and that's how it got into our back yard.

My neighbor has been arrested about 5 times in the last 6 weeks, lol

I think I've been to your neighbors house.
We get folks like this all the time.

My neighbor.......he's 81yrs old and a few weeks ago I watched him stalk his 80yr old wife with a water blaster water gun. Soaked her from head to toe. My Wife and I laughed for an hr straight. I was also told not to get any stupid ideas.

I was on my second-floor porch at my old apt. and something caught my eye in the window next door. My neighbor was washing dishes and her husband was knelt down behind her, pulling her pants down just a few inches and was kissing her butt cheeks!

what's weird about that?

this crazy *kitten* chick that use to live across the street from me once ran out side butt naked while in the middle of fighting with her boyfriend

Right now all my neighbors are cool. Pretty sure we aren't the crazy neighbors because they invite us to stuff, and stop us in the hall to talk, and etc.

Previously, however in another place I lived, I one time came home from an early morning trip to the market with my baby (now my kid) on one arm and the bags in the other. My neighbor who I thought was blind or partially blind due to the way she walked and how her gaze was, seemed to suddenly try to push me or my baby (?) over the railing from the third floor where we lived.

I went in my door after we crossed paths (the keys were shaking in my hand like a scary movie) and when I looked thru the peephole, she'd circled back and came up to stare in my peephole backwards. So I woke my kid who was on the couch told him what happened and drove to hubs work. He was as shocked as I was and came home to talk to the building manager about it when he was off. We all were puzzled and I admitted it was so shocking that by the end of the day I was questioning whether it had happened like it seemed.

In the weeks that followed hubs kept informing me that she was odd, and walked oddly and etc. I kept saying, perhaps she's blind. More than she thinks? He is around the public a lot and insisted that was not it.

One day as I walked out back (our building had a walking path) she had an umbrella for some unknown reason...and crossed over the dog lawn to my side of the path and took a swing at me? the baby's stroller? I wasnt sure what? So I directly stopped her as she passed me and demanded she explain her behavior. She denied it and the look on her face I beleived that she beleived her own lie. So I went to the building manager and they sent the maintenance guy who went running. He came back saying "yes, she is denying it and beleives YOU had an eerie conversation with HER!" I could understand why if she honestly did not recall doing it due to some kind of psychosis or whatnot. They did remark how odd to be carrying an umbrella that sunny day, and that they saw her head down the hall significantly after I'd been walking back there that day.

My car was keyed that month.
There were strange sounds that month.

Eventually she was caught lunging at a family with a baby directly in front of the manager's office seen right through the giant windows. The family was all present including the father and with so many witnesses they immediately made a police report and informed me she was moving out of her apartment as "suggested" by them.

A week or two later I had to go to the leasing office to ask..."Remember when you said she was moving out of her apartment?" Manager: "yes". Me: "Well why did you guys allow her to move right next door to me on the OTHER side of my unit?" Manager: (jaw drop) What the Hell!?

I kid you not, the apartment manager was so shocked she actually broke professional protocol and cussed right in front of me and then stood up and paced profusely in sheer anger that, that had happened. Me, "I saw her today as I left my apartment and I thought I was going crazy when she was coming out of the door next to mine on the OTHER side from where she just lived. It was a twilight zone moment." Manager checked her records and when she saw the unit she'd been assigned right next door to ours, that's when she started pacing. She seemed to get flushed a little too. It was an awkward as all get out situation.

She let me stay in there and opened a room usually closed by that time for me to wait in until my husband came home so I would not have to go back alone and be in there alone since we were now at our wits end as to what we were dealing with.

Next day they told me they "handled" it by contacting her parents who'd rented the place for her and they'd agreed to do things outside the ordinary to remove her from there since she had some mental condition which was of course none of my business. No matter though, now we were all certain she was gone and management said they personally watched her leave.

We continued living there for years and everyone else was nice. Except for the new crazy lady couple years later who rollerbladed on one skate in a bikini top even in the winter even at her advanced age and with her tiny white dog. When her dog tried to bite me and then subsequently my kid, I had her removed from the building too. By now they knew I don't cry wolf, and I can spot crazy. This time around I trusted myself much more. They told me later this lady had a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom unit full of crazy that made it easy to evict her. I thought that was a very funny way to put it.
