To think the neighbours are odd

[FlowersAndShit]

Neighbour who we call 'busy bob' because he can't keep still, is standing in the freezing cold furiously washing his car. His wife has just come over to boss the shit out of him help and went inside the car and is still sitting there watching him furiously wash the new car. WTF? She's just sitting in there...

On the other side, my nice neighbours are sound. They work hard all week so go out and get drunk on a Saturday - fair play to them, we think. We once looked out of the window at night to see them playing on our kids' space-hopper in the front garden (He's in his 50s, she's in her 40s). Seriously love them. They often over order takeaway pizzas on Saturday night when drunk. By over order I mean they order an extra two entire pizzas... And will knock on our door and give them to our kids.

Not a neighbour exactly, but in my previous address there was a woman that used to take her dog AND PARROT out for a walk each day past our house.

Our current area has something like a 15% gypsy population. We live opposite some who have broke with tradition and moved into a house. One tradition they haven't broken though is a love of horses. So, imagine if you will, the sight of a end-of-terrace in a big estate with a small back yard and a horse just eating some grass under the washing line.

Good grief OP, I'm surprised you found time to post this nasty little observance whilst standing by the window twitching the net curtains. [Grin]

Have a instead. You're not worth a biscuit.

Oh my neighbours are all very nice and boring... I'm thinking now maybe we're that odd amusing family on the street

Foghorn leghorn and skeltor sound disgusting 'interesting'

My old neighbours use to throw nappies and food behind the back wall of their garden. I used to see them doing it from my bedroom window. No idea why. We all had bins! Then when they were moving i videoed him covering it with a massive bit of cardboard and stomping it down. They were renting so i called the agent and warned them what was lurking and offered them the footage. They didnt want it, just came out and cleared it all away. I hope they charged disgusting neighbours for it.

There's one chap in my street that we've nicknamed 'pornstache cowboy'...

Oh dear.....seems that somebody has recognised themselves! Speaking of biscuits mmmm biscuity loveliness.

Erm...where was I. Oh yes.

My neighbours are Polish. He works seemingly non-stop and she is SAHM to their 4 children .

Really lovely family.

Except when he's had a drink and kicks off. He yells and screams and trashes the house, then goes out and starts yelling in the street. Usually there are other adults present.

It's quite annoying for 2 reasons. 1: it keeps me awake and 2: I've not got a bloody clue what he's yelling about.

Brian, I never wash my car and I don't have a partner.

Crunchy loveliness!

And Brian, those poor children having to live with that.

I think child protection is needed at the very least.

My neighbours are all normal and polite.
Oh dear, it must be us!

Neighbours eh;?. Enjoy!

A wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours
But they make it very clear
They've got no room for ravers
They stop me from groovin', they bang on me wall
They've doing me crust in, it's no good at all - ahh

My first thought was they'd had a body in the car and are getting rid of forensics. But in fairness, I am a bit of a drama queen.

Are old neighbours were a very odd mismatched couple. Him in particular, he would spend ages doing certain things like trimming the hedge with tiny clippers while the grass was almost knee high but the one that got me was one winter. It had snowed really heavily one afternoon. People stuck all over the place, the wife had ended up leaving her car some distance away and had to walk home. The following day everyone was at home, we spent hours digging out our drive and then the little cul de sac out into the road. They went sledging with the kids, fine. Then lateish on she comes out if the house and starts digging their drive. She says she has to get this done before she walks the two miles to fetch her car. Oh and me say wel"lol do your drive and you go for the car as it was going to be dark and where the car was left was unlit and quite lonely. Off she goes leaving her husband in the house with the kids so we start digging their drive. After about ten minutes he puts the outside light in so we could see better while he sat in the front room watching TV!!

Our neighbour was a nice quiet chap- if a bit fond of the waccy baccy.

We quite liked him until I read on the local news site that he was sentenced to two years for distributing images of child abuse.

Maybe they are selling their car tomorrow, or giving the MIL a lift somewhere?

My neighbour on one side used to care for her aunty: when I first met them, I mentioned that if they ever needed a hand, just to bang on the wall and I'd nip over.

One night, around 2am, there was frantic banging, and much screaming: "Oh Lord, Oh Lord" etc I went pelting round in my jammies, because I thought the elderly lady had fallen or something (she wasn't mobile, and niece couldn't lift her alone) - I hammered at the door, and heard aunty calling me to come in: she was tucked in bed, safe and sound, and surprised to see me. I explained about the yelling and the banging: "Oh, don't worry, she's just doing one of her exorcisms..." (Turns out that whenever niece has had a night out - couple of times a month- she comes back and has the urge to get out the holy water and the crucifix: aunty's in a home now, so at least it no longer bothers her...)

The other side is one of the LA houses on our road: tenants change really frequently, but at one stage, I thought there must be a house church there - turned out it was a brothel...

Oh I wish I had slightly batshit but amusing neighbours. Unfortunately mine are cunts of the highest order. The ones on the other side are nice, and thankfully normal.

I love the space hopper neighbours

definitelybutter Did anyone else look at the title of the thread and wonder if it was about them? - yup & that is why I opened the thread.
I'm pleased to report that it is not about me & nor are any of the other comments thank goonness

Did anyone else look at the title of the thread and wonder if it was about them?

Absolutely - it wasn't, but I suspect we are the odd neighbours in our street - or at least our little bit of it.

Our attached neighbours are a lovely couple, both retired, no children or pets, but put up with the noise and activity from our house, which is tiny, but houses dh, myself, three dcs (one of whom has autistic meltdowns) and two large dogs (one of which has the howly version of separation anxiety, but is never left home alone, because we like our neighbours too much to upset them).

Neighbours on the other side are another matter entirely, that I can't go into for fear of being outed. We we actively avoid each other, despite our drives being joined together, which is probably for the best.

Elendon, yes, they probably do.
