i used to live next door to this guy. he'd go to canadian tire all the time and steal fishing lures, then sell them to the kids in the neighbourhood. he also hit on my mom a lot. i have a table he was going to throw out that i used to keep my computer on.

[Krazy]

I had a neighbor that stole a backhoe from a nearby construction crew and drove it around doing work for random people (whether this work was asked for or not, I don't know). Until the police arrested him like 6 hours later. He had also set his barn on fire and shot himself in the stomach (lived) previously.

Ok i live in a little village which has the average age of 70-90, me and 1 other family are the only people below 60 here.
So when i used to do late night Dynamis with my old LS, the retired couple across the road a few doors down used to leave the house at around 3am for hell knows what reason. By the time id noticed the lights on across the street they were already in their car and pulling out of the driveway.
Eventually after a month or two of noticing this behavior i decided to go afk during the event just to watch their house, making sure i had all of the lights off here to not raise suspicion.
To my horror, the old man came out of the house first, wearing a black leather corsette with red laces, leather chaps and black leather knee high boots. Then his wife followed wearing a shiney black plastic tuxedo with pink bow-tie. From the looks of it they were going to some sort of Rocky Horror Picture Show party or something, ive never really asked them about it and to this day if im up late ill always take a peek to see if theyre doing anything funny.

LOL what village do you live in, assuming it's in Derby like you have listed. I live in Derby too.

I'm like Steve-O, that's how I treat my neighbors.

When I lived in the South Side back when I was twenty, we lived right on the strip. There was a witchcraft store right next door to us in the next building. The owner lived on the third floor of that building. We happened to live on the 3rd floor of our building. It was around eight o clock at night when my buddy Stig(yes Stig is his name, he works for Midway games as a programmer) and I head up to the loft. So we're all hanging out with some of our friends drinking when our one buddy Kenny walks by the window and just kind of starts whispering frantically.

"Get over to the fucking window! You need to see this!!"

So naturally we all go over to the window to see what's happening. Of course the owner and his "coven" were up on the roof doing some fucking ritual. The old guy was standing stark naked with about eight or nine people around him chanting shit. There was this one chick that was involved that worked the front counter at the shop. Just disgustingly hot imo, she should have been on Suicide Girls's site.

They kept it up for about an hour and then kind of dispersed except for the old guy and some really fucking skanky chick, who then proceeded to have sex on the watershed thingy. That was pretty nasty.

Though as a result I was walking back to my place about a week later when the counter girl started flirting with me. Took her out a few times, slept with her a few times. Turns out she saw all of us watching and decided it was a good opening for her and I to talk. Which was ironic because I was thinking of it along the same lines. She was a freaky chick. Good times.

I have a hot tub and I could never imagine it making enough noise to wake my neighbors.

When I first moved into my place there was this very old women living next door to me. We met and talked during the first week and I never saw her again for a few weeks. Finally after a couple weeks I begin to worry so I went and knocked on her door. She never answered so I crawled through the window only to be hit by what I can only describe as the worst smell in my life. She had rotted into her own floor, while her cat stayed alive by eating her.

Now I would love to be able to tell my new neighbors the story but it just doesn't seem right.

I see, I live just like five minutes outside the 'city' although Derby is more of a town tbh, lol.

When I was 12, I was in my backyard and noticed one of the panels was broken on the fence around the house. I went over and saw 3 guys outside smoking and a shit load of marijuana plants in the backyard and on the deck. I climbed on my roof later that day and counted how many they had, around 50+ full grown ones, 20+ sprouting and some weird looking ones on the deck.

They had people go over and buy whole plants regularly and always played loud music and smoked. Eventually the house become abandoned and has been like that for the past 5 years. The front yard grass looks like a rain forest and the back yard is a jungle. Couple of my buddies go and smoke in the back yard.

[Plow]

No, sadness. The car didn't deserve that.

Seriously, rather the guy was a douche or not what happened there was an absolute tragedy and if you don't support going to war with cavemen for inventing fire as a result, you're just unamerican.


So I live in the boondocks, nearest neighbors are a little less than a half mile east and west, there's nothing for a mile+ north or south. (driveway runs into east and west road)

There's this like... farming family that occupies a large part of the 1 mile square south of us. One of the "middle" kids (50ish) lives about a half mile east of us, has like 8 kids but the youngest 2 are like high school. From there, a little ways east to an intersection, and then about another half a mile south, there's that guy's brother and his family, right next door to the south of them is the old original guy, and next door to the south of them is one of his grandkids.

Annnnyway, directly across the street from us they have a cow pasture, and they use 4 wheelers to "round them up," like people used to use horses for.

Well, one day our lawn trailer went missing. Piece of shit little thing that attaches to the back of a riding lawnmower (or 4 wheeler, apparently). We couldn't figure out wtf had happened, had no idea who would even want the damn thing.

So one day, we're heading out shopping, and on our way... golly gee, that looks an awful lot like our lawn trailer sitting in the damn front yard of the house around the corner.


We went and asked about it, and were explained by a very angry county boy, with an absolutely scared shitless kid behind him, how his kid said "they got it from their friend."


On the one hand, fucking little bastards. On the other hand, knowing how things are around here, poor kid prob got the beating of his life over that shit.

If there's one thing people whose livelihood depends on how well they can take care of their property know, it's that you DO NOT fuck with your neighbors' shit.


But anyway, I lol'd at stealing shit then leaving it sitting in your front yard.

My neighbours used to bitch about me and my friends skateboarding in the middle of the road, untill we stopped to pursue other activities (drinking, going out, etc.). They would always complain about the noise and how it was dangerous to ourselves and oncoming traffic. So lately they have taken to playing football (soccer...) in the streets. I saw them playing the other day, when a car came rushing up the street. They all hit the deck, but their football was well and truely squashed under the weight of the oncoming car.

I couldn't help myself and went down to warn them of the dangers of playing in the streets.

In terms of me being a shitty neighbour, I can remember many nights when they'd threaten to call the police on us because we were outside partying. And when we first got our dog he used to love being inside, so whenever we put him in the kennels outside he'd freak out and bark solidly for about an hour, and our nextdoor neighbour threatened to kill him. I did the neighbourly thing and told him to fuck off and closed the door on his face.

[Ace-o-fire]

not so much what my neighbors would do, but more or less what i would do.

i would change middle of the day with all the windows open.

i also shot a deer when i was 17 in our yard, and produced to clean it in our garage in the middle of the afternoon with the door open.

getting drunk and passing out on neighbors porches.

let me call my brother he'll have some good ones.

Nothing wrong with being naked in your own home, it's not your fault everyone has voyeuristic tendancies.

edit: holy shit this reminds me of a story my friend told me.

He used to have reasonably thin curtains, which meant that you could see whenever there was light in the room. He told me that frequently he would turn all the lights out in his room, except for his computer monitor, and he'd get his "groove on". However, he said, one day he got an anonymous letter from a "concerned neighbour" about his masturbation habits, suggesting that he should invest in thicker curtains that don't cast a shadow of his entire upper body, sitting at a computer, getting a groove on, on display to anyone who happens to look into his window at night.

O: more midlanders <3 (Nottingham here but I go to uni in Derby !)

I don't really have any strange neigbours. Only got one house near us, and they're like stupidly rich and are always on holiday or go to their second house. Met them like once.. Though their dog always barks at me ): Some of these stories are great though <3

[Ace-o-fire]

Ah i forgot about this.

so i use to live in north nj, and alot of the land around my house was swamp area. One spring a , spring came about in our back yard, we had a literal pond in our back yard and it was none the less shitty since i love using the back yard and so do my parents for entertaining. so my parents go to the township to apply for a permit to do construction to lead it to our street gutter to run in to. and it turns out out back yard is classified as "Wet Lands" (no shit right?) so my parent then hire a landscaper whom we've know for like 10+ years. so he know's he cant dump in on the street or we get fined, so he decides to dump in into the yard next to ours who is down 3 feet in elevation. so we do this and the guy cant figure out why he lawn is so swampy, and the heath department comes out and has to seal off his back yard and spray the whole thing for mosquitoes for the whole summer and the got charged some fines for having open water out.

yea my family is kind of dick.

Hi, welcome to an internet messageboard. The internet is where people usually communicate in a way that is more relaxed and slightly different from how they usually communicate in real life. Also, I'm sure my text was also not the worst case of internet run-ons you've seen. I've taken numerous english and writing intensive classes. The lowest grade I received in any of those classes was an A- so I think I'll be fine.

Anyways, I fixed a spelling error for you and the wording throughout your sentence is a bit awkward. I've taken the liberty of showing a way it could be fixed. In the future, try reading out loud anything you have written if you are unsure of the wording because it really helps spot where the sentence gets awkward. I guess maybe we should just trade our english professor's emails since we both clearly need a refresher course or maybe people in glass houses shouldn't throw black kettles at other pots?

My neighbor was arrested a few months back for removing the caps from the tires of cars that were parked on my block. He's probably in his 50's and lives with his dog.
