Title: neighbor stories
Post by: chum1 on December 20, 2011, 06:12:44 PM
category:  weird

there's a fortyish german dude who lives across the street from me.  he has a wife.  i know this because i see her one or twice a year.  i also see her car leave their garage every couple weeks and i suspect she's driving it.  the rest of the time, she's inside the house.  thus, she is inside the house almost all of the time.  the german dude also has a mother-in-law who i've met.  she arrives every friday morning and departs every monday morning.  but let's focus on the star of the show.  the german dude, like his wife, definitely does not have a job outside of the house because he's almost always home.  we wave at each other intermittently.  i've never really met him, but i was around him once when i was trying to help a neighbor girl find her mom.  i told him what was going on, he said hello to the five year-old girl, and at that point i could tell that the conversation was over.  anyway, he has two german shepherds and a bizarre ritual.  every morning, he walks out to his suv, opens up the back, walks back to the garage, gets out a ramp for the dogs, places it on the back of the suv, goes back to the garage, does some crap, comes back out with the dogs (unleashed), leads the dogs up the ramp one at a time, takes down the ramp, does some more crap, and, well, i'll just stop there.  i'm leaving out lots of little, meticulous details, but this whole process takes about twenty minutes and he does it every day.  in exactly the same way.  every day.  so, then he drives off with the dogs, comes home after half an hour or so, and does the entire process again in reverse.  i mean, is it just me or is this kinda peculiar?

The dogs must be really old or something.   German Shepards can jump, right?

Ya, but to make this fun, he should totally make it be obvious.  Be out there in your drive way in the waiting for the German to take off, then ride his ass...

'member in Groundhogs Day when Bill Murray's character got everyone's routine down so well that he could save lives and take those bags of money and things like that?

I think there is a lot of potential here Mr. Chum1

Bout 2 years ago, my completely drugged up (meds, not narcotics) neighbor decided it would be a good idea for her to mow the lawn, even though she can barely walk after a dozen or so spinal fusions. Anyways, I'm on my back deck grilling exotic meats and I hear a blood curdling scream from the front yard. This hooker decided to put her hand under the mower to clean out a lot of wet grass, aaaaaaaand there goes 3 of her fingers. Except I only realized her fingers are gone when I had to help remove her yard work gloves and they remained in the glove. I ruined several nice towels of mine sopping up blood waiting for the paramedics. Pretty much ruined my life. Go cats.

Go over every day and offer to buy his house until he puts the sign back up.

Take pictures and post them here.

Do this every day until puts the sign back up. 

Every time he takes the sign down, immediately go over there and offer to buy his house. 

Repeat the process when he takes it down.

????????????

Profit.

My former neighbors used to let their dog out into the front yard to take a dump even though they had a fenced back yard.  Of course it was always in my yard, not theirs.  I let it go for awhile over the winter because it I didn't have to mow and I was never outside anyway.  Finally I scooped it all up into a grocery bag and dropped it over the fence into their back yard.  Never had a problem again.

Maybe that's Mangino's house and he is announcing that he is removing his house from the market in case anybody is thinking about buying it.

My dad has done this, I was about 8 or so and the riding mower kept getting clocked and he hopped off (before the battery was cut off by getting of the seat) and stuck his hand under to unclog it, lost the tip of his shazbot! you finger.
Anyways back to weird neighbors, we have a blue heeler and the neighbor behind us got tired of getting barked at when he would stand in his yard and threaten the dog with an ax so he poured his urine along the fence line to "mark his territory". Needless to say the dark pissed there and marked her territory and still barks at him. We later found out he spent 12 years is jail for killing a guy in a bar fight.

I lived next to these old people growing up. When I'd get home from school before my folks got home I would go to their house for a while. The old lady would usually fix me a snack and the old man would get me a Shasta Root Beer; He would drink cream soda. Anyway, after my snack and Shasta I'd usually lay down on the floor and watch about the first 10 minutes of Leave it To Beaver reruns and then fall asleep. The old lady would cover me up with one of those afghan blankets that she knitted all of the time. The old man and old lady were also my grandparents.

neighbors to the north of us are a couple with a baby.  we only know about the baby because boxes that baby furniture comes in began showing up next to their garbage.  they have lived in their house for about 4 years.  I have seen the wife maybe 3 times (could be dead for the last year or so though as it's been awhile).  the husband will walk by me to get his mail or something and I will say "Hi Nathan"  (I learned his name from the gardening neighbors) and he will keep walking while stairing at the ground and not say anything back.  the retired gardening neighbor (Bob) told me he thinks there is something up but wouldn't go on record as to what he thinks it is.  it's like Bob doesn't want to say the words "serial killer" out loud but wants me to think it.

The family across the street is Afghani. There are two sons and maybe two daughters (tough to tell for sure; always in hijabs). There is also potentially grandmother. Also, one of the sons is married and the wife lives there also. They have about 6 cars, but none of them in the two-car garage b/c it is apparently full of the medical equipment the father sells. Anyway, the oldest son (Ahmad) immediately introduced himself when I moved in and started borrowing my crap. Then, he started sending texts in the evening. Stuff like "Hey, you left your garage door open." Seemed weird but ok at first. Then I bumped into him one morning on the sidewalk and he was all "oh, didn't expect to see you so early this morning. Seemed like you had a late night. Your TV was on until 4 am."

Bought more curtains that afternoon.

Had a neighbor that would drive home drunk every now and then, and would park his car in his yard. He'd make it about halfway out of his olds 88 and pass out with his radio blaring and car still running. He'd still be there in the morning.

Neighbor  couldn't get a window A/C unit out of a window (not sure how/why). He tied a chain around it and pulled it out with his truck, then boarded up the hole that it left.

He also dumped a huge pile of sand in his front yard, not sure what for but it sat there for over a year, and got nasty.

So I live in an area of Overland Park that is rumored to have a thriving swinger community. I've heard they mark their houses with a large white rock in the front yard, but I've also heard they use gazing balls.

Anyway, shortly after learning about this, I notice my next door neighbors have this big white rock and a purple gazing ball in their front landscaping. I've only talked to the wife twice, and I don't know the guy very well, but he's always outdoors working on his lawn (he's that prick who has the best the lawn on the block, but he's also pretty nice). So I go up and talk to him about his lawn for a while, and then I decide to just ask him point blank. Hey, I noticed you have this big whtie rock and that gazing ball. Might seem like a weird question, but are you a swinger? He kind of looked at me funny and said no. But the next day, the gazing ball is gone from the front yard. He still lets me borrow tools and stuff, though.

Neighbors to the west of us are black. All of our other neighbors are incredibly racist and hate them.  Last year around late Novemer the starter went out in their son's car (he doesn't live there, has his own family and lives somewhere else in town).  So the car sat out in front of their house all winter until he could get around to getting it fixed (he had another car so no biggie). Lady accross the street from us wanted to report them to the city for having a broken down car out in front of the house for so long...our conversation went something like this:

Her:  I called the city on them, that car has been there forever.
Me:  Ya, I think the starter went out or something.  I think he was waiting for the weather to warm up so he could fix it.
Her:  Oh, i just assumed he was in prison.
Me:   :horrorsurprise:

I don't know much about swingers (LSIQ), but I imagine they won't just admit it when being asked point blank.  You probably have to use some kind of swinger code, like maybe mention you were thinking about getting a nice white rock or gazing ball for your yard too and were wondering where to purchase one.     :dunno:

He must have been the 1 guy on the block that genuinely enjoyed having white rocks and gazing balls on his lawn, and you just ruined it for him. Can confirm this swinger culture though as my friend used to have a summer job mowing lawns in said neighborhood and one time he saw a 'party' through a window.

Also can confirm.  My old boss bought a house in similar neighborhood when he moved here from east coast. First lawn work he did was had all the mulch replaced with small white decorative rock.  He eventually had it all removed and replaced with something else because he was uncomfortable with the attention it brought.

A lot of you guys live in really shitty neighborhoods.    Nothing really weird really happens in my neighborhood.... and everyone is pretty clean/nice/not weird.  I guess that means I'm the bad person.   

Although the weirdest thing I know of, I have a neighbor that is a genuine "ghost hunter"   she runs ghost hunting tours in wichita from a party buss.  Not that weird to me, but maybe for some of you.

So most people have a regular routine.  They leave for work at a certain time, get home at a certain time etc and so forth.  My neighbor (white male, 28) has no discernible routine at all.  His garage is full of bricks and paver stones so he parks outside.  Sometimes he is home all day and all night.  Sometimes he is gone all day and all night or sometimes a mixture of the two.  There is no routine at all.  And for some reason this worries me.  My other neighbor is 75 years old and mows everyone's yards for them because he's bored and doesn't want to be in the same house with his wife.  And his name is Larry King, so he's got that going for him.

Instead of asking him point blank if he was a swinger, why wouldn't you just tell him that you noticed his wife outside the other day and thought she reminded you of a girl you once knew?  A cute girl that you use to have great sex with and stuff?  You just missed out on banging this guys wife Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

House across the street from me has 3 boys that age somewhere between like 11-16.  During the mowing season, I always saw the dad mowing and never any of the boys.  Just took it as typical O.P. entitlement crap.  Then one day I'm sitting on my driveway having a beer one afternoon and actually see the dad trying to tell the youngest kid how to mow.  (wouldn't think it would take much of an explanation right?)  Anyway, after this kid cuts two swaths of lawn, the dad comes over and starts yelling at him.  I mean it's bad crap like, "You dumb ass you need to keep the lines straight.  Why don't you rough ridin' listen you moron."  On and on he went.  Dropped the f bomb several times to the point where I wanted to go over and kick this guys ass for being such a prick.  Well, I didn't and literally the next day I happen to see this boy screaming at his mom while she's trying to leave.  She gets in her car and screeches out into the street. :driving: (ftp://:driving:)  The boy picks up a football and heaves it right at her window.  Nothing breaks and the mom keeps on driving.  Made me feel better about not saying anything because the family is obviously mumped up and way past the point of fixing.

Neighbors across the street from me are an older couple around 75. Their grandkids would come over all the time during the summer and swim in a little blow up pool in the back yard. They have a driveway that goes around back and about once a month the kids would get loose and run around the front yard naked.

Neighbor across the street has 2 high school age kids and then.........a real little one who is probably 3 or 4, at what point does this kid figure out he was an accident, and then does he he go crazy or just consider himself lucky, also they are hawks so it explains why they weren't smart enough to figure out birth control

Neighbor across the street doesn't water his lawn and only mows it about four times a summer.  He will let it get about 10 inches tall and then he tears into it with one of those old timey push type rotary mowers.  Dudes lawn is tiny but it takes him about four hours to mow it.  Guess he doesn't want to buy gas or something.  :dunno:

A couple of years ago my neighbor had apparently abducted her children and then moved in to the house next door to me with her mother... you know... to lay low and hide out. Then the baby-daddy came one day and threw rocks through her windows and called her bad names. Then the police came and arrested her and took her babies away from her. It was sad, but she was also a complete mess, so it is what it is.

i think german shepherds often have bad backs or hips or something.  that's probably your answer right there, chum1.

Yes, confirmed.  German Shepherds usually have horrible hip problems as they get older.  It is also fairly common for them to tear their ACL(s).  They wouldn't be able to jump into the back of an SUV.

So I live in an area of Overland Park that is rumored to have a thriving swinger community. I've heard they mark their houses with a large white rock in the front yard, but I've also heard they use gazing balls.

Anyway, shortly after learning about this, I notice my next door neighbors have this big white rock and a purple gazing ball in their front landscaping. I've only talked to the wife twice, and I don't know the guy very well, but he's always outdoors working on his lawn (he's that prick who has the best the lawn on the block, but he's also pretty nice). So I go up and talk to him about his lawn for a while, and then I decide to just ask him point blank. Hey, I noticed you have this big whtie rock and that gazing ball. Might seem like a weird question, but are you a swinger? He kind of looked at me funny and said no. But the next day, the gazing ball is gone from the front yard. He still lets me borrow tools and stuff, though.

Instead of asking him point blank if he was a swinger, why wouldn't you just tell him that you noticed his wife outside the other day and thought she reminded you of a girl you once knew?  A cute girl that you use to have great sex with and stuff?  You just missed out on banging this guys wife respect.

Yes, but my wife is much younger and better looking than his wife, so why would I want to swap?

Another neighbor pointed out that our next door neighbor hadn't been home in a few weeks.  After a few more weeks we were contemplating calling the cops when he came home, mowed his yard, and left again.  Haven't seen him since.  That was in August.  

* question.  Does BSAC have any experience in adverse possession cases?  BSAC?

I live on a property with 4 units. Last week, our compost bin went missing (it's like a recycling bin in california, everyone has one.) There was actually a box sitting on the compost bin because it was trash day and the recycling bin was at the curb. The next day, I try to take out some compost, and don't see the green bin in our fenced-in courtyard where we keep our trash. I looked all over. The box that was on top of the compost bin was now in my recycling bin. Called the trash company. New one was delivered, but there was an extra one left at the curb from our neighbors. So a neighbor opened our gate, went into the back corner of our courtyard, put some cardboard in the proper bin, took our compost bin, used it for a week, and just left it on the curb.

I have the same neighbor. County appraiser (or someone like that) came by and wanted to ask us about the "abandoned" house next door.  was surprised to find out someone actually lived there. We have meth heads across the street, a 70 year old neighbor who likes to comment about my wife's breasts (to my wife). Another neighbor that asked my wife if she would have an affair with him (and then got kicked out when his wife divorced him when she was told what happened). The guy that gets DUI's in the middle of the afternoon. and a preacher.

He's lived there for 20 years now & has managed 3 failed marriages, Painting a ginormous cartoon styled rocket ship on the side of his garage, Painted every square inch of 3 seperate 20-30 foot tall Live trees - one blue, one red, & one green & reports all of the neighbors in the area for various incidents like trespassing, loose dogs, etc.

The Retired Engineer:

An embattled relic from the cold war, this engineer is the authority regarding any engineering matter that mankind and our woefully ignorant HOA may face.  City engineers and workmen who put in a sidewalk were subjected to the pea gravel debate of the century -- our HOA would have proper pea gravel or there would be hell to pay.   A Jewish synagogue was built behind his lot, the engineer surveyed and measured water drainage rates and the design of a retention pond and complained numerous times of the malfeasance created by those damned Jews.  He walks around the temple property weekly to survey the damage created by water drainage from the parking lot.  The house that is vacant and waiting to be sold; the engineer categorized and identified numerous invasive weed species and complained to the realtor.  Heard a rumor that he was measuring the grass height with a ruler as well.  Before this house was vacant our beloved engineer decided to sue the home builder, construction company, and HOA because the house didn't meet the minimal square footage (probably off by 200 - 500 sq ft) as determined by a survey of the 1.5 foot thick binder that is 'supposedly' the covenance which governs our beloved HOA.

So the guy is a fighter pilot who retired from the navy/air force and who used to park his helicopter in an empty lot behind his house until neighbors complained.  The guy is legit and was Top Gun back in the 60's.  Unfortunately now he is just batshit crazy and loves to fight.  He won't back down.  The HOA meetings are miserable.  The old codger goes on-and-on at the HOA meetings over every damn engineering matter imaginable -- he makes the same damn complaints every year.  The HOA just cuts and pastes his comments for the yearly newsletter/meeting minutes.  During the last meeting he finally provided some new information when he started going off about having to kill a commie. "It was either him or me, and I'm sitting here; aren't I" was the statement that finished the story he was telling me.



The NBA Baller:
 
Welcome to never-rough ridin'-never land.  I always thought it would be cool to have a pro (now retired) athlete as my neighbor.  Would lil cracka' learn to play ball from a guy who was in the LEAGUE?  Wonderful stories of other baller neighbors who were sent gift baskets had been rumored, could we be receiving a $$$ gift basket too?  Just imagine who would be stopping by his house? Other ballers, celebrities, a cadre of hotties?  HA! The only fairy dust this jack ass sprinkles goes up his nose or is burnt up in his bong. Wish I could win the lottery and spend all day getting high playing video games, and all night going to the bar/club.

This third-string baller hardly ever saw time in the rotation and was let go (retired) for smoking the ganja after 3 or 4 years in the league.  His scouting report describes him as a big, who, if he possessed a better work ethic and more maturity would have been a serious contender. Yet, the mid-twenty year old has a home that is 1.5x larger than mine and it's paid off.  My wife and I have multiple college degrees, which is wonderful because we'll need these credentials to spend the next 30 years paying for our home.  In the mean-time you would think the baller could take care of his lawn and quit knocking up the baby mamas. Especially the lawn, hopefully the engineer doesn't notice the decrepid state of disrepair.   Oh and the only parties he throws are for his entourage of loser, co-dependent friends who have latched on to his purse strings.  It's like a f'n frat party over there all the damn time.  Oh and his home was always being broken in-to; dumbass had his personal information on the net.  When he was playing ball, thugs would look him up and decide to go fence the NBA players house.



The Lesbians:

Great couple of wonderful gals.  Although they are in their 40's, they're still kind of hot.  Both like beer, we see them at a microbrew all the time.  They give out lots of candy to the kids for Halloween.  And they let me use their snowblower last year.   Wish we could get rid of the other losers and get a few more lesbians.

Other ballers, celebrities, a cadre of hotties?  HA! The only fairy dust this jack ass sprinkles goes up his nose or is burnt up in his bong. Wish I could win the lottery and spend all day getting high playing video games, and all night going to the bar/club.

This third-string baller hardly ever saw time in the rotation and was let go (retired) for smoking the ganja after 3 or 4 years in the league.  His scouting report describes him as a big, who, if he possessed a better work ethic and more maturity would have been a serious contender. Yet, the mid-twenty year old has a home that is 1.5x larger than mine and it's paid off.  My wife and I have multiple college degrees, which is wonderful because we'll need these credentials to spend the next 30 years paying for our home.  In the mean-time you would think the baller could take care of his lawn and quit knocking up the baby mamas. Especially the lawn, hopefully the engineer doesn't notice the decrepid state of disrepair.   Oh and the only parties he throws are for his entourage of loser, co-dependent friends who have latched on to his purse strings.  It's like a f'n frat party over there all the damn time.  Oh and his home was always being broken in-to; dumbass had his personal information on the net.  When he was playing ball, thugs would look him up and decide to go fence the NBA players house.


Take it easy super-tuck.

Yeah, no kidding. Cracka is on pace to become the engineer he is complaining about. I would recommend moving away to some place without an HOA if you are concerned about the engineer's bullshit, but his level of nosiness leads me to believe that he needs an HOA.

So our neighbors have a daughter the same age as our son, so we go to the park and stuff.  She usually wants to hold his hand so he lets her for a few seconds then leaves her wanting more.   :gocho:

Also have asian neighbors who like to put their bird cage outside so they can get fresh air.  They also grow all their plants in pots.

Several neighbors also have literally nothing in their garage but cars and trash bins.  Not sure if poor or just super tidy/anti garage clutter?

Update on German guy: 

A couple weeks ago his SUV broke down.  I know this because I saw the tow truck bring it to his house and drop it off on the driveway.  I was like, "Oh, he's going to fix it himself," but he hasn't touched it.  So, I know what you are wondering.  WHAT ABOUT THE DOG ROUTINE!?!?  Well, he still takes the dogs out every day.  In his wife's Altima.  The dogs completely fill up the back seat and have to duck down because their heads touch the ceiling and it's a pretty rough ridin' hilarious sight.  I don't know about the routine, though, because the Altima gets parked in the garage.

Hope I didn't post this already.  Remember two winters ago when we got a ton of snow?  Well I came home one night and someone had snowblown (weird word) our drive.  My wife told me the neighbors did it so I went over the give the guy some cash.  He refused, said we were neighbors, bla bla bla.  So I went and got him a couple cases of beer (I knew he loved his Bud Light).  I showed back up and made him take them.  The following spring I found out he and his wife were separated, that he was an alcoholic, and now the house has been seized by the bank and every week a crew of Mexicans shows up to mow the weeds.

I worry about my home value though.  :ohno:

When it was getting really rough I guess the wife and kids "went to the lake" (went to go stay with relatives).  Middle of the day he came over and asked me to help him look in his house for his cellphone because he was nearly deaf.  Call, listen, call, listen, walk around, call, listen, nothing.  House is a dump, beer bottles/cans everywhere.  He then asks me to drive him to the gas station because he had walked there (drunk) and maybe he lost his phone on the way.  Do that, nothing.  BTW, he's wasted this whole time.  Then a few hours later he calls me and I answer and he's like "who's this?"  Tell him it's me, he says "who?  I see a lot of missed calls on my phone from you."  I say "hey it's me your neighbor remember you lost your phone?"  And he's drunk and embarrassed and that was the last I ever saw him or talked to him.

Do you think he cleaned your driveway thinking it was his because he was completely crap faced, just got in a fight with the wife about being crap faced again, and took to the drive as an excuse to get away from her for 5 lousy minutes, only to work through the snow and realize he just hit the wrong drive, then went inside and used the fact that he was a good guy, and look what he just did for a neighbor for nothing, as an argument to tell her to go eff herself that he isn't a monster or anything, and that it was just a few beers and that she needs to lay the hell off and quit talking to her sister so much?

Also, if you gave him the cash, she would have just gotten half of it.

I have an old man across the street who comes outside in his robe everyday at 7:45am to get his paper. He seems like a baller.

Neighbors on 1 side have a 8-10 yr old girl who likes playing soccer alot. Sometimes I will find soccer balls in my backyard and throw them back in their yard. They also have a lab that I picked up from the vet one time when they were out of town. I occassionally play fetch with it from over the fence...but only for less than 5 minutes...I was informed that it has a bad heart and if you play with it to much it can have a seizure.....

Neighbors on the other side are about 30 with a newborn, I never really talk to them but they seem nice  :dunno:

Situation- Tell tale heart.

Old lady named Jean is in a cul-de-sac in the neighborhood.  She will open her garage door and sit in a folding chair with two or three folding chairs and a table next to her.  Other old ladies come sit with Jean as she holds court and describes every single goings on in the neighborhood.  Jean is not shy about inviting people walking to come by.  Every time I am walking the dog and stop by the following happens: 1) offers dog an enormous dog treat 2) my dog eats it too quick and does this hyperventilation thing 3) Jean says we should get that checked out by a vet, did you know your next door neighbor is a vet? 4) Jean says she goes to church with my mom, invites me to attend church 5) Jean mentions the weather 6) Jean says she has an email she got once that she printed out and hung in her living room that says "When God was creating the Earth he had created all the mountains and valleys and oceans so he set out to create the most peaceful, beautiful place.  It had blue skies, golden prairies, lush green meadows and the nicest people you have ever met.  Then he put Missouri to the right, Oklahoma below it, Colorado to the left....hahahaha."

I now walk my dog directly out the back door to avoid Jean and then when I occasionally feel guilty about it I consider how awkward it will be if I go stop by at this point after ducking her for a month and a half.

My son and I were awakened during our afternoon nap this afternoon at around 4:30.  A police officer was at the door and there was a fire truck with about 4-5 readied firefighters gathered around it.  Apparently, the guy two houses down, who is a war veteran from Korea or something (I don't remember but he is super old), had about a pound of live dynamite and some other explosives stored away in his garage. 

I don't know how long they have been in there, but apparently the officials decided now was the time to get rid of them. They sectioned off the block, had the neighboring residents evacuate the area and took the bombs out to some recreational park (like baseball and soccer) and detonated them.

While we were evacuated we went out to eat at a local restaurant.   When we were done and getting into the car to head home we heard a loud "boom" off in the distance.  All the cops and stuff were gone when we got home.

we live on the 5th floor so this was kind of strange.  thought maybe there was some kind of serial killer using adorable bunnies as his calling card so I moved the bunny over to the door to the apartment across the hall.  later that night I saw that it has been moved by that neighbor over to another door down the hall.  next day it was gone.  no idea if the serial killer thing is true and one of my neighbors is stuck in some sort of bunny rabbit themed saw movie or if they just decided to adopt it.

we live on the 5th floor so this was kind of strange.  thought maybe there was some kind of serial killer using adorable bunnies as his calling card so I moved the bunny over to the door to the apartment across the hall.  later that night I saw that it has been moved by that neighbor over to another door down the hall.  next day it was gone.  no idea if the serial killer thing is true and one of my neighbors is stuck in some sort of bunny rabbit themed saw movie or if they just decided to adopt it.

i'd be more concerned about what appears to be a random human leg just inside the apartment but who really knows.
It's a lamp.

My quirky (and awesome) asian neighbors once left their dog outside while running errands. When it started raining, some corncob called animal control. Upon arriving home, they were met with an animal control officer who ripped them a new one. The wife jokingly says to animal control "it's okay, we're just fattening him up for thanksgiving anyway" and was met with the biggest :horrorsurprise: face ever. Probably my favorite neighbors.

I was leaving my apartment around 9pm and my neighbor across the hall has her door wide open. She is terrified. I see a bat circling in her living room and offer to help her get rid of it. I get a clothes basket and head over to corral the little guy. When I get there, he is nowhere to be found. She thinks he came in from the attic through her bathroom vent. We are in there trying to see if he's up there and I just casually glance around the room and she has some dirty undergarments on the floor. I immediately look back up at her, and she's like well, I'll worry about it tomorrow. Awkward.

Anyway the next day, I chased the bat out of her apartment, into the hallway, down the stairwell and out into the night air. Big brown bats are adorable.

I got home one night in college and just walked in the door when one of my roomies goes "You know those neighbors down the street that we don't know? Yah, good deal."  I guess he was sitting in the livingroom and two chicks came to the door in hysterics.  All he could get out of them was "We've tried like five houses and no one is home, we're so glad you're home *sob"  "Come with us we need help *sob sob."  etc.

The whole walk down there, they won't/can't tell him what's happening, he's thinking that they murdered someone and want him to help chop up the body or something.  He walks in the house and he counts six cats, a couple of dogs, a ton of rando cages (some empty), and one fish.  They lead him into one of the rooms and there's a dead gerbil/hamster (Chewi) in the middle of the floor.  The one chick explains, finally, that one of her snakes (Charlemagne) escaped from its cage when she was at school and caught Chewi, only Charlemagne was too small to actually be able to get Chewi down so Charlemagne couldn't swallow Chewi completely.  She was able to get Chewi away from Charlemagne.  They asked my roomie to pick it up-they just couldn't touch their "pet" when Chewi was like this  :bawl:.  He asked for a couple of grocery sacks, double-bagged his hand for safety, picked it up, threw Chewi in a box that they had ready, which was complete with ornate decorations and its name.  He didn't say a word, turned, walked out, and left.

We ended up never talking to those neighbors again.

I've always wondered if they were on an episode of "HOARDERS: Animal Edition."

Thank you all for your stories. They have made my evening.   :lol:

My neighbors are all really nice. One guy across the street has a pool and smokes cigars by his pool every day. That's about as weird as my neighbor stories get.

Oh and one of my other neighbors is a pretty avid home brewer. One time he let me taste one of his latest batches.   :drink:

So the girl across the hall texts me today to ask if I want to know a secret. I tell her sure. So she says that she creeps on me a lot. I ask how is that. She replies an hour later with: "so there's this thing...its called a peephole...I like to look out it a lot. And your apartment is right across from mine. so I creep on your booty when you walk out."

Why the eff would you tell someone that?  :sdeek:

Sd_K did not say "hot" girl across the hall.  I think he would've specified if this was the case.  This is not good, living next an ugly girl that constantly wants to sex you.  When you bring home attractive girls, you now have a cockblock as a neighbor.

I live in an older neighborhood with old people on all sides. The lady to the west stops by at least once a week with some story idea that the media should do a report on. It's usually stuff like garden worms or her knitting circle making dresses for African children. It really irritates me because she always knocks on my door when I am either just getting dressed to go to the gym or when I am in the very middle of cooking dinner.

Not neighbor related, but like in the early 2000's the mechanical engineering computer lab was just this little crappy room.  Sometimes I'd be in there way late and there's be a group of three or four Indians or Pakistanis.  Even after two hours I couldn't figure out if they were speaking English or a native language.

Last year around Christmas, my brother and I were driving over to our grandparents house to pick something up. It was night and hardly anyone was out driving. As we were pulling up to their house the cars headlights flashed inside their neighbors front window. We both notice that it's a blanket that is moving up and down very quickly. 3 seconds later we park the car in front of our grandparents house, and both of us go "Were they having sex?" Was confirmed when the next day we stopped by the house and their neighbors now have a large black board that covers the bottom half of their front window. Still haven't met them, probably never will.

I spotted these two police cars outside.  So, naturally, I've been looking out the window, trying to figure out what's going on.  The cops are inside the house of a 40 year-old divorcee who has two kids, ages 7 and 11.  She's a biking enthusiast who likes to say "awesome."  She says it A LOT.  The cops were in the upstairs rooms shining their falshlights all around.  Looking for clues, apparently.  What the hell is going on over there?  Any guesses?

So the "looking around the place with flashlights instead of just turning the lights on" is a real thing? I thought movies/TV shows just did that so the mood would be right.

Are the kids involved? Maybe child negligence? That's a long ass process so I doubt anything would happen anytime soon, if at all?

she's a divorced mom who is having a hard time dealing with her kids by herself.  dad is out of the picture and she's single.  the kids, without a paternal influence have begun to act up and have probably done some damange inside the home.  mom, in an effort to bring some civility into the household, has previously threatened to call the cops if her older son didn't start behaving himself.  well, he didn't behave himself.  he's caused some damage to the house, or his brother.  mom called the cops/filed a complaint.  enough is enough, she said.

Maybe it was some hoarder who hadn't been able to walk across all of his crap to get to the fridge for 7 years. He finally gets his life in order, opens the fridge and sees an ice-cold Bud Light waiting for him. He pops it open, starts chugging, and then starts vomiting uncontrollably because the beer is 7 years old for Christ sakes. Then in a fit of insanity, he starts running around outside screaming and then heaves the bottle in the general direction of BF's house.

Pulled into my apartment complex last night after working out and there was this large girl(hello mississippi) standing in the parking lot with her arms up yelling at something.  I was all like oh man what is going on up in this place!  So I get out of my car and there is this dude in a truck just laying on his horn for a good solid minute straight. The lady that was all mad went back inside.  The lady downstairs had her son go over to the dude in the truck and see what was going on.  Apparently some rando parked in this dudes parking spot and he was in the mood for NONE OF IT.  This had apparently been going on for about 15 minutes and the dude had woken up anyone that was asleep and interrupted everyones dinners.

The son came back with the report that the crazy dude in the truck was going to ram the car out of the way.  Good thing there is a cop that lives in the complex and he came over and calmed the dude down.  Ten minutes later a tow truck showed up and yanked that car up and drove off.  Two spots down there was an open spot that the dude could have parked in but he reallllllllllllllly wanted his spot.

According to researchers at the University of Denver, couples who lived together before they were engaged have a higher divorce rate and lower marital satisfaction than those who waited until they were married, or at least engaged, to shack up.

Couples who play house pre-engagement are especially doomed for failure if, as many people do, they live together before marriage as a means of testing the relationship. Word of advice: if you feel the need to test your relationship, you probably already know something's wrong with it.

But researchers think this is where another factor comes into play. Rather than treating cohabitation as a profound and lifelong commitment, couples treat it as another stage of dating. So they're quicker to agree to do it than they would be to marry. But once they're living together, they find out breaking up can be next to impossible. Financially they adjust to having just one rent and utilities payment, and all of their stuff is there. A sort of inertia sets in.

After a few years of this, everybody in your life starts pressuring them to get married and they do it, because "that's just what people do."

I had two sets of neighboors.  One was a teacher who ended up moving out when him and his gf got married.  The other was another teacher who lived with his lady and when the other guy got married she started pressuring her bf to marry her (at least that is what my weird neighbor, with multiplepersonality disorder, who lives between them told me).  I guess he didn't want to get married because a month or two later she moved out.  Two months after that he moved out too. 

Now I only have the crazy neighbor, a new teacher (who I think is banging students) that moved into the other teacher's house that got married, and some new guy that I haven't quite figured out yet. I did see the new guy using a leaf blower while smoking a cigar the other day, so maybe he is cool.

Category: Crazy

I'm woking in Fresno. Wasn't sure if I wanted to rent an apt right away, so instead I rent a room from a motherly old woman. Nice enough place in a nice enough area.

One day after work she comes knocking at the door: "wTw, come outside. HURRY"! I'm thinking one of her dogs got run over or some other silliness. I head out the back door and see her standing on a stepstool, peering over the privacy fence.

Immendiately, my spidey sense begins to tingle

"What is this crazy old battleaxe doing"? I think to myself. Suddenly, I see a shadow move past the garage on my left. At least I thought it was  shadow. I look again, but it's gone. "Hmmm".. Anyway, I head for the fence and look over the top to discover:

11 heavily armed Fresno PD SWAT team members with weapons drawn down on the house directly behind where I live. They are so close I can read the engraving on the rather large handguns that are pointed at the house behind the one I reside in. And the shadow I saw was another officer moving quietly around the side of my garage to draw down on a side window of the house.

"VICTOR SIFUENTES (I forget the real name) COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! THE HOUSE IS SURROUNDED! IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, WE WILL SEND IN THE K-9 UNIT, FOLLOWED BY THE SWAT TEAM"!!! (Repeated 9 times per department protocol by bullhorn).

So I see this action and I immediately move away from the fence and head back toward my room. The landlady is still standing on the footstool, like a kid looking though the knotholes to watch a baseball game at Ebbetts Field.

After calling the guy out 9 times, they send in the dog. And then the SWAT team follows. Thankfully it was empty. As the streetshow was wrapping up, the neighbors are all milling about. And in Fresno, the demographics are a little different than here. It's about 60% hispanic. And again, the ENTIRE neighborhood is out watching when my landlady says to the SWAT team leader: "You should check that house over there too. These guys here and those guys there, are all in cahoots*.

Immediately, my spidey sense tingles again as all the neighbors begin staring at my landlady. Some of them are rather shady looking. (If you've ever resided in Fresno, you know what I mean.) Quickly, I slink back to the house and decide to sleep on the floor that night with my matress covering me in the event somebody straifs the house with an AR-15.

Turns out the guy they were looking for was a Fresno Bulldog gang dude, who shot six people at a party the previous October. Not a nice guy at all.


*Cahoots = In it together.

Oh F no. She was really old. Dumb too. Nice enough old woman. I made sure very few neighbors saw my face that day. And it wasn't a bad neighborhood. I lived in an area called the "Tower District". Seriously, Fresno is/can be a dangerous place. It was the first city that I learned not to make eye contact with people in cars at intersections. There was a spate of murders that happened in that city when people thought somebody dissed one of the "eses" in another vehicle.

And it's a city that really has no ... how to put this... "transition" neighborhoods. You can go from a very affluent neighborhood to the barrio in matter of two city blocks. So the ne'er do well population isn't confined to one area. They are spread out over the entire city. It's a crazy place for sure.

I don't have any neighbor stories. All my neighbors are great because they keep to themselves for the most part. One neighbor allows me to park my boat in his yard. He's my favorite neighbor.  Another is quick to pay if our shared fence needs repair. A couple of lesbians moved in across the street about a month ago.  I'm giving their friends a grace period about parking in front of my mailbox on Saturday mornings and rough ridin' up my mail delivery. I will think of some passive-aggressive way to retaliate if it continues much longer. I don't know what will get my feathers ruffled after August when there will be no Saturday delivery.

When I traveled out of Fresno, I went to LA, SF, SD or to the mountains. Never stopped in Sanger or Visalia or any other place I wasn't familiar with.

I think Sanger is like a barrio in Fresno now.  Used to be separate town.

I don't have any neighbor stories. All my neighbors are great because they keep to themselves for the most part. One neighbor allows me to park my boat in his yard. He's my favorite neighbor.  Another is quick to pay if our shared fence needs repair. A couple of lesbians moved in across the street about a month ago.  I'm giving their friends a grace period about parking in front of my mailbox on Saturday mornings and rough ridin' up my mail delivery. I will think of some passive-aggressive way to retaliate if it continues much longer. I don't know what will get my feathers ruffled after August when there will be no Saturday delivery.

Your neighbors are great compared to mine.  I built a privacy fence last year and neither one offered to help pay for it.  The guy to the south offered to help me once when I was setting the posts then never showed.  The old lady to the north of me wanted me to put lattice along her side so the garden she keeps would still have enough sun shine but never offered to pay for anything.  Screw them both I just put regular cedar plank all the way around and encroached on the boundaries a few inches.  The old lady motioned me over to the fence a few days after it was finished and asked me if I could put a hinged peek hole on her side because she liked watching my kids play in the back yard.  I told her "I'll see what I can do."

Yes. 

The best reason why is so that you have some control in what the new barrier on your property line will look like.

Generally, the fences are built along the property line and belong to both homeowners. At least in the case of subdivisions where the builder put the fences in before selling the house.  If you have a house with no fence, I don't think you should expect the neighbors to want to contribute to your privacy fence unless they're planning to build a fence around their yard too and want to share a common fence.

In my case, I share a fence line with three neighbors. If I wanted to replace my entire fence with something nicer, taller or just newer, I would likely ask all of my neighbors if they wanted to contribute to their share of the fence line. However, if they don't have the money, don't want to spend the money or are completely happy with they current fence situation, they are not legally obligated to contribute.  Some HOAs might require them too but mine does not. 
Title: Re: neighbor stories
Post by: Mrs. Gooch on February 08, 2013, 01:11:00 PM
I don't think you can expect neighbors to contribute to building a new fence when they didn't have or want a fence - although it doesn't hurt to ask, I guess.
But if a common fence is holding in their dogs then they definitey should contribute to upkeep.

I liked it there. Enjoyed being able to ride my bicycle almost any day of the week. Well, almost. When I first arrived, my car was still back in KC, so I rode my bike to work and home every day (about 30 miles). Rented a car on the w/e if I needed it. One Saturday, I rode my bike up to the WalMart on Herndon.

As I was getting ready to chain it, this big ese walks right up to a bike that's chained next to mine. He takes his bolt cutters and chomps through the chain, picks up the bike and starts to walk away. In broad daylight. At a Walmart. On a busy Saturday. As he walked away I said "Man, you're a good union thief, working on Saturday and all". (spidey sense begins to tingle as I know I should have said nothing). He said: Yea, And I'll be back to get that one. Points at my $1600 bike and only mode of transport until my car arrives. I unchained my bike, rode home and took the city bus back to WalMart. (another fantastic place to see first hand Fresno crazies up close).

I talked to the Police about it. They said bicycle theft is "rampant and we can't stop it". The detective I spoke to over the phone said "Never leave your bike unattended. Even then they'll walk up and jack it from you at gunpoint. So be extra cautious in suspect neighborhoods". Not erxactly a ringing endorsement for the city, but I took the advice to heart.


Fresno is also the stolen car capital of the country. The actually put the faces of the "Top 5 car thieves in the Fresno" on the front page of the paper so folks would know who they were. Had their pictures in the paper and everything. The jail was too crowded and they determined they weren't violent offenders so they let them out early to make room for violent criminals.

I live in a townhouse and the girl that lives on the other side has had all of her lights on since we got back from Spring Break.  I put in some long hours at school and so do my roommates, but we've noticed that we've not seen her in a long, long time.  The other day, some one came and put little coupons on everyone's doorknob going into their house.  Hers is still there.

We share a back deck, and we've peeked in through her back door (that has a window on it) and there's clothes thrown all over the kitchen.  It's been like that for at least a week. This chick supposedly goes to school with us, but we never see her there.

what if she's dead in there?

Maybe, but if the model train guy moves in next door, what can you get out of it? A demo at best. "Oh sweet mountain range scene bro, I bet that took lots of work."

Since we're name dropping...awhile back I was neighbors with Ross Gload. Yes, that Ross Gload. Former WS champ and Royals legend Ross Gload. Any who one night I was pretty pak'd and came across a malnourished but friendly cat. Being the animal lover and Good Samaritan that I am, I decided to take the cat as an addition to my family. As I mentioned I was a bit pak'd so after securing said cat I attempted to open my door and let the cat in. In a frantic turn of events, the cat bolted towards future Royals HOF Ross Gloads rental house. Upset that I may lose this feline beast I went after the cat only to apprehend the cat in Ross' front yard. Ive had the cat for 5 years now and from that faithful day a long time ago, I will always be a fan of Ross Gload.

i don't know about her car.  we just have a big parking lot and i've never noticed which car is hers.  i don't know her name.  she's a blonde gal.  at least a few years older than myself.  big frame. 

we haven't seen her for a long time.  it wasn't until i noticed she hadn't picked up the note on the knob and then peeked in her window that i started getting pretty weirded out.
Pro tip: order a pizza and get it sent to her address.  If no one answers grab the pizza guy and say you accidentally put in the wrong address.  If she comes out you do the same.

how is this better than ringing her doorbell yourself?
You don't look like a creepy weirdo.

Plus you get a pizza out of it.

Hard to see from this angle, but this is her kitchen.   The door has a window on it.  The thing blocking the window is the door to her washer/drier.  The clutter in the middle of the room is clothes/boxes.

I'm pretty sure she's dead in there.  But there's nothing we can do about it now so we might as well all stop worrying about it.

No pictures of anything to Dlew peering in windows taking snapshots.  Really upped his game on that.  When they find out she was murdered Dlew, they are going to blame the person who was taking pictures peering in her windows.

One of my neighbors is insanely fat.  I think I've talked about how I know I'm sort of an bad person so my diminutive sensitive side kicks in overdrive and says "well maybe he has a thyroid condition." And then you see him at the grocery store buying two gallons of ice cream or a cake or a plastic tin of cupcakes.  Poor rough rider is going to die young.

When I left for work he was standing at attention in front of the front door wearing a backpack and holding a pair of shoes in one hand, still dressed in only his underwear. I have no idea what was going on.

About 5 years ago our neighbor threw a huge party. He has a few pretty large ones every year, it's not usually too bad unless the weather is warm and enough people venture onto his deck in the early morning hours. But this night there were probably twice as many cars on the street, and the volume was much louder than normal. The next morning I notice the party is still going on, and there is a tour bus parked in front of our yards. Turns out it was the band "Blue October."

So I live in an area of Overland Park that is rumored to have a thriving swinger community. I've heard they mark their houses with a large white rock in the front yard, but I've also heard they use gazing balls.

Anyway, shortly after learning about this, I notice my next door neighbors have this big white rock and a purple gazing ball in their front landscaping. I've only talked to the wife twice, and I don't know the guy very well, but he's always outdoors working on his lawn (he's that prick who has the best the lawn on the block, but he's also pretty nice). So I go up and talk to him about his lawn for a while, and then I decide to just ask him point blank. Hey, I noticed you have this big whtie rock and that gazing ball. Might seem like a weird question, but are you a swinger? He kind of looked at me funny and said no. But the next day, the gazing ball is gone from the front yard. He still lets me borrow tools and stuff, though.

He must have been the 1 guy on the block that genuinely enjoyed having white rocks and gazing balls on his lawn, and you just ruined it for him. Can confirm this swinger culture though as my friend used to have a summer job mowing lawns in said neighborhood and one time he saw a 'party' through a window.

Also can confirm.  My old boss bought a house in similar neighborhood when he moved here from east coast. First lawn work he did was had all the mulch replaced with small white decorative rock.  He eventually had it all removed and replaced with something else because he was uncomfortable with the attention it brought.

Friday morning I was awoken by a kcpd officer knocking on my door who was doing a wellness check on my neighbor. She said that his work had called in that the guy had been sick lately and hadn't shown up for work and they couldn't get ahold of him. His truck wasn't in the driveway either. This dude is very much a work and home hermit kinda guy (but nice). Mid to late 50's, single. Didn't see him come home at all this weekend. Starting to feel like something bad has probably happened  :frown:
