Ok we have had these neighbors move to the neighborhood that never bother anyone but it is funny to me to be outside and see the guy doing is "Karate Kid" routine every evening. At least that is what we call it. I mean we see the whole wax on wax off deal and he does like a circle dance or something and it is just all too interesting to watch. (Oh especially with his shirt off LOL NOT )

All the kids get a kick out of it.

I have no strange neighbors My landlord lives downstairs from me, he travels alot so he is never home, on the left is a garage (some of those guys are HOTT!!!! ) and on the right is a family but I only see them going in and out of their house and up until yesterday I never knew 3 kids lived there. The kids are always inside. Across the street is a car dealer so I see a few employees in the morning and when i come home, we just say hi and thats about it.Behind us is a nice family they always say hi when they are outside

We have a lady that lives up the road (we live out in the country), and she takes her prayer rug to the local Baptist church parking lot, faces east and kneels every morning...... I've always wondered why she doesn't do this in her back yard at her own house???

Mine aren't that strange, but 2 of them have surveillance equipment all over their property. One thinks the other killed his dog and the other thinks the first guy turned him into the DEP and on and on we go. They are both nice guys to me and I don't want to get in the middle of anything having to live by them, but they just can't get along! That is the weirdest thing in my corner of town.

My strange neighbors have 3 adult daughters all named Mary and one son named Joseph.They have religious figures in all their windows and in their side yard, sleep all day and come awake in the evening. They do their yard work like trimming hedges after dark. They never cause any trouble but they certainly are strange.

I don't really have any exciting neighbors. The people behind us with 3 loud obnoxious kids that paly and scream all day and evening are probably the worst. The other behind neighbor is our mechanic, no problem from him, the guy directly across the street is a bank president, nothing interesting, the family that lives next to him never come outdoors, I never see the lady or the kid unless they are going to and from the car (at school time) and the guy only comes out to mow the yard. Then my direct next door neighbors on either side are retired widows, after that the Baptist preach and his family and the other direction a vacant house, then a Methodist preacher (not in our town but another surrounding town).

Our one neighbor used to fight with her hubby then when he left her friend would come over to console her. The one before them went out on a stretcher and we never same them again.
In TN, the couple on the corner separated (he was cheating), got his girlfriend pg, then moved with her into the same sub his wife lived in. Now the whole sub had 6 streets so they would see each other often.

One neighbor's kid had a laser pointer he would shine in our window. Like in the movies where you are sitting there and see a red dot on your forehead seconds before the bullet hits you.

These neighbors aren't too strange. A bit odd, but nothing too bad.

When we were first married and lived in a different town we had the neighbor everyone talked about. I loved hearing all the stories! One Saturday morning we awake to the sound of a vaccum. I looked out the window to see my neighbor, picture this:

- she's 6 feet four inches tall and thin
- she's wearing a long white flowing night gown and robe
- she's on the roof vaccuming the leaves from the gutters!

We still laugh about it!

Flavor Flave is my neighbor, nuff said

He's actually a really nice guy, not at all like the person you see on television. He's always God Blessing all of us and takes the time to talk to the star struck neighbor kids.

We also used to have a lady on our street that now, looking back, I think might have been schizophrenic. I remember one year we took the kids Trick or Treating at her house and she opened the door a crack threw out some Christmas wrapping paper at the kids and slammed the door. She did lots of other strange things, but that's the one the comes to mind first.

Flavor Flave is your neighbor ??? WOW! Does he wear a huge clock around his neck while getting the mail, taking out the garbage, and/or mowing his lawn? LOL.

The previous owner of the house next door to us, a 60+ woman, used to weed her garden out back in her panties and bra. And she wasn't at all shy about it......too funny.

We have a funny neighbor that we all love to peek out the blinds to watch his EVERY DAY routine. I think he's got some obbesive disorder.

First he will come outside to his mailbox, open it & shut it, open it again & stare inside for a minute. then he shuts, then opens, takes the mail out. Does the open/shut thing a few more times & then proceeds to rock back & fourth while starring inside the mailbox. This whole process usually takes 4 to 8 minutes.
Then
He walks out in the street in front of his house & picks up ??? were thinking stones & he throws them to the other side of the street he makes several trips back & fourth (about 5 minutes)
Then
He has a huge RV outside, he proceeds to go over every inch of this to "look" at it. He gets a latter to look on the roof & then crawls under it. If it's later at night he has a flashlight & does this. (This usually takes about 30 minutes)

Now this happens EVERYDAY, sometimes he will do the RV thing a few times a day.

My sister has a neighbor who won't bring in his newspaper until he's finished with whatever one he happens to be reading currently. That means he usually has about 30 papers in his driveway. He's a little behind on reading them, I guess.

She has another neighbor who blames some landscaping she had done on his problem with flooding in the basement, even though she had the landscapers install a special underground system this that takes any excess water down to the grate in the street. One day it was *pouring rain* and he came over and knocked on her door to say, "I'm soaking wet. Where is all this water coming from?"

Yep, he really does wear it all the time.

Our neighbors raise goats (just as pets, maybe for some milk, not sure). When one dies, they have it stuffed and they keep it in their living room. They are extremely unfriendly and refuse to look up or wave when we're outside. Very odd!!!

Um, I think I AM the odd neighbor. I get home from work at about 1am and I do my chores than. It is not unusual for me to be doing things in the yard under the lights. I wash and clean vehicles at night, work in the garage, all kinds of things. And this last month after chores were done we would turn out all the outside lights and lay in the loungers and watch meteor showers and the eclipse. So I'm sure my neighbors think I am the strange neighbor.

Definitely amusing, and he most likely does have OCD, but I kind of feel sorry for the guy. Imagine these routines taking over every aspect of his life. It surely must be exhausting for him, but he probably can't stop it.

OMG refundsrus are you serious? Is it legal to have 55 cats where you live...some kind of shelter or animal sanctuary maybe? WOW

where I grew up had a next door neighbor about my age...when we moved in she was 6 years old starting 1st grade and she STILL drank from a baby bottle!! she was the baby of the family & the parents just let it go! til it was time to go to school ft..

ok and the mom of the bottlefed 6 year old, was a stay at home mom...she spent lots of time bathing and dressing their dolls and fixing the dolls' hair. She used to get annoyed sometimes when we would actually play with the dolls because then we would mess up their hair and stuff...she liked it when there were about 20 dolls lined up neatly and nicely on their couch with starched little outfits!

Currently, we have a neighbor who will not set foot outside her house...once in awhile she will climb into her car with the garage door closed, start up the engine (still with the door closed) drive her car 10 feet to the end of the driveway, reach into the mailbox for the mail, drive back up the driveway into the garage, close the garage door and then back into the house from the garage entrance..there is no setting foot outside the car or house...ack..

oh and we used to have a mrs kravitz back east...would stare thru her curtains..when I moved in she came over and introduced herself, and told me she already knew who I was since she had gone through my mailbox....!!!!

thankfully 99% of my neighbors are wonderful friendly NICE people now.. it's just the weird ones you tend to remember, huh

Only had one really strange one that DH told me about. His one neighbor use to howl outside every full moon. Didn't believe him until I moved in when we got married. Yup....he was a little strange.

I have no neighbors within 5 acres of my house.

I have a few stories to add.
When I was growing up we had one neighbor for a few years that lived across the street. He was an alcoholic. His favorite pasttime once he was drunk was to mow the yard. He would be so drunk that once his lawn was mowed, he would mow the neighbors yard. We really didnt complain about him too much....lol
Another neighbor we had : we lived in a duplex and there was a man and his teenage son who moved into the other side. We were pretty sure they were not "good" people. A murder happened in town where a man was shot then put into his car and the murderer set the car on fire. Guess who the murderer was?

On a diff note about my dads neighbors - he lives next door to the towns notorious cat lady. At least 100 cats. When it is feeding time you can see the cats climbing down the roof, running down the street back to her place, climbing out of open car windows...its a total freak show every night at 5 pm. I did get a mean streak and snuck over one night and put a bumper sticker on her car on night that said "I love Cats! They taste like chicken!" lol. Mean - but gave us a good chuckle because that bumper sticker stayed on her car for months undetected by her.
My friend has a neighbor that we joke about on a daily basis. He is a police office and in the military. We have NEVER EVER seen him wear anything but his police uniform or full out army garb - camo, face paint, the whole works! Even on his days off! He is really paranoid too. Some kids toilet papered his house and he set up camp in his yard for weeks afterwards to try to catch who had done it. 3 am in the morning he would be hiding on the roof like a sniper determined that if the kids came back he was going to catch them. We prayed those kids would not return - lol.
On the lines of odd neighbors I think I will start a tread on odd co-workers. LOL

One of our across the street neighbors washes one of his two cars or his truck almost every day.
He doesn't wash his camper quite as often, but he does keep it very clean altho he rarely uses it!

I have been laughing so hard for teh past few minutes.but one question .where the heck do you all live?
I just have regular people as neighbors......

but years ago in Connecticut,we saw a guy,nice guy,, move into an apartment 2 doors down from us without any furniture or boxes.we really thought it was odd.few month later,we open our door,and saw tons of cops in full gear.DEA agents and the whole nine yards.they were arresting a people who were part of a drug ring not far from us..the nice guy without furniture was an undercover cop..

All my neighbor are really nice. One set is gay but they are very nice people.

The weirdest thing I can think of was tonight, at about 9:30pm, I had to rinse off my car. DS1 wrote "You S**k (DS2)" on it and I wanted to wash it off before DS2 saw it. Then I decided to water Next Doors trees and grass, they moved last week and the house will be up for auction and I want to steal their trees (little palms planted earlier this year).

Oh my gosh! I'm dying here! These are hysterical to say the least!!! We have a few quacks for neighbors too but we have a few acres so it's not so bad, no funny stories to tell just ones that make you steam.

Keep the stories coming, I haven't laughed so hard in forever!
