'The weird things neighbours do' thread

Neighbours. Let's face it, you're extremely lucky if yours are normal, considerate and friendly.

Most neighbours tend to come from other planets and do all sorts of weird things. Share your own tales here so we can make light of the situation and have a chuckle at the weird things neighbours do.

One night my neighbour and his GF were arguing, and he started smashing windows. I called the police, who knocked on his door and asked him what was going on. He said "It's not a crime to smash your own windows, is it?"

When they asked him his name, he said "I'm pr ick, and this is wa nker!"

That's crazy!!! in my experience, our neighbours tend to act weird when we've bought something new. My neighbour actually stopped speaking to us when we got our new car last year. It's weird. She just ignores us now!!! :j

Our immediate neighbours are lovely, but there is an odd one over the road and a few doors down...

They had a block paved drive laid last year, they never park their car on it and his wife polishes it every week They also phoned the council when a lovely couple moved in next door to me. They were having a new kitchen delivered so a big lorry was parked outside delivering the goods. The next day this poor couple had a visit from the council saying they had a report that someone was running a 'Kitchen Distribution Business' from this address! They had received a complaint from a neighbour. It wasn't any of the other neighbours and we looked over and there were curtains twitching at his house

The police once turned up in my mums street in a 'riot' van. They had been told by the woman over the road that there was a 'wild party' next door with people everywhere and it was getting out of hand. The party was for mums neighbours 5 year old son, he had invited some classmates over for his birthday and they were having jelly and icecream!

A neighbour who we were quite friendly with had a cat that died. I knew how much the cat meant to her and, being an animal lover myself, sent her a little 'sympathy' card, with a copy of the rainbow bridge poem. She has never spoken to me since, and now averts her eyes when I walk past her in the street, ignores me, or crosses the road to avoid me. If she our eyes do meet, she just gives me an evil look!

My neighbours are very weird. They are no trouble at all, and after the neighbours we've experienced who were dreadfull, these neighbours are abnormal. (No, we're not bad neighbours either, and we get along just fine with the ones we have.)

It's a matter of perception. She probably thought you were being sarky. You can't help how people perceive things, we don't all think alike.
That was very kind of you by the way, something of which, she may have little experience so she read it wrong.

I had a neighbour who would borrow anything and everything. Her son came round and asked if he could borrow a dummy for 'our Peter' as he couldn't find his. 'Our Peter' was 7 years old! I was so gobsmacked I handed one over.

She would regularly ask for toilet roll, in the end I told her I didn't have any myself but had some spare woodchip wallpaper she could have.....

our old neighbours used to cut the hedge between our houses.....at 11pm at night!
