Oh, those crazy neighbors.

[smearyllama]

Well, right as I'm posting this, I'm hearing discharges from what sounds like a hunting rifle from the woods behind my house. It's really putting my dogs on edge.

It's stopped for now, but it'll probably be back soon.
I'll edit in any updates about the hunters.

Edit 1: At around 10:35, they started up again. Then they stopped a couple minutes later.
So. anyone else have crazy neighbors they want to talk about?

 

[EeveeElectro]

Ours are all potheads.
I usually wouldn't mind, but I've seen them smoke in front of their little boy a few times.

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

My downstairs neighbors always fight.
Just recently, however, the guy decided to go blow of steam by chopping down a tree out in front of the apartment. I live on the mainstreet in my town, so needless to say, he attracted a lot of attention, and got crazy looks.

 

[Westaway]

Do you live in the English country? That sounds like my cousins.

 

[silver wolf009]

Well some of my neighbors refer to themselves as rednecks, and when the pool got closed they filled the backs of thier trucks with water and declared the new pool open.

No, I live in Virginia. The weird thing about Virginia is that just down the road from a nice housing development, you can see people that look like they should be playing dueling banjos on their porch.

The neighbor to my left is an older gentleman. A P.O.W of WW2 and he's a cool dude. To my right is your normal family and i sometimes see their kids playing in the backyard. Other than that not many of the neighbors are out because my damn neighborhood is very quiet.

 

[WanderingFool]

I have a real ***** living next door. My mother actually had a fence put up a couple of years ago just so w didnt have to look at them. The husband of this ***** is an okay guy, but the woman...

That's disturbing yet incredibly hilarious. Any chance someone dove into the "pool"? Hopefully skinny-dipping was discouraged.

OT - my neighbors are procreating Republicans - pretty damn crazy, and scary.

About how bad is bad enough to put up a fence?

 

[Mr Shrike]

On my left I have the most annoying chav family imaginable. 5 children, all of whom ***** and whine every night. They hold parties till 4 in the morning damn near every weekend.

I get my own-back by playing my drums really loud!

To my right is an elderly woman. She's alright.

Ugh. My sympathies.

Elderly people are usually pretty chill, which is cool.

Your avatar is amazing, by the way.

Call social services. Now.

You have a duty of care.

If you're in Australia, you're legally obliged to contact the Department for Child Protection.
Not sure about legality of your local area. Morally you should feel obliged.

Edit:

OT: I live in a unit complex so, the people directly left of me are quiet, I'm pretty sure it's just one chick. The other side is one chick who's always out, she occasionally has a couple of people over for a study group by the looks of it. The guy accross the hall from me is nice, I met him today. Upstairs is a foreign couple, they always have delicious smelling food and nag champa incense on.

Hmmm,
1: had dogs that kept taking dumps in our yard.
2: Complained when we were getting the roof done because the the scraps that were falling on OUR part of the yard.
3: Tried to tak my parnts to court becaus of a little Jack Russel my mothr baught for my little brother. I dont even know WTF that was about.
4: Tried taking us to court a second time because we were building an addition to our house, in this case it was a front porch, which near every othr house on the strt had one.
5: Complained again when we had the siding takn off and replaced while building the new addition.

Honestly, I think the woman is just spiteful...

 

[similar.squirrel]

Used to have a juvenile delinquent and his schizophrenic mother, but they've gone their separate ways and the house is now inhabited by the sister of the old lady that lives on the other side of our house.
The mother and son duo used to be fun. Lots of shouting and stuff.

In my student house, we've got an old woman who apparently hates parties [we've never had any, so that can't be verified] and a family with a conservatory in the back garden.

All in all, pretty mundane.

 

[Eggsnham]

To the right I have a family whose father is from the Netherlands, and whose mother is American.

Their kids are alright, but they're pretty young.

To the left of my house, I have a two person family who are really quiet and borderline reclusive who have a cool dog and an even better sportscar.

I don't know them, but they seem alright.

 

[Bernzz]

Not anymore, but living behind me was the most miserable old fuck I've ever met.

Elderly people are usually pretty chill, which is cool.

Usually, yeah.
The dude behind us was a really old German guy. Every day, he'd stand on something to see over our fence, which would set our dogs off barking and growling at him.
He told us to shut them up. He, looks over our fence, and tells us to shut our dogs up.
He soon began to do it all the time, JUST to provoke our dogs. Then one day, he thought "Fuck this." and while we weren't home, got an air rifle and shot one of our dogs in the shoulder.

He's not living there anymore. I hope he rots in Hell.

 

[Marter]

Had drug addicts live beside us for a couple years. Constant yelling, as well as them bringing over people who...let's just say, we didn't want near our house. They caused property damage, and we called the cops on them several times.

When I've seen them smoke it, they've been outside but the child has been sat right next to them. Someone said because they are in the open it doesn't matter, but of course it does.
I'm hesitant to get involved as I wouldn't want to tear a family apart at all. Although thinking about it, I haven't seen them in a couple of months so maybe another neighbour reported them and they had to move elsewhere.
Where I live isn't the best place for people. Although my boyfriend did manage to get environmental health to shut down a pizza place for putting hair and saliva into his meal.

 

[Blemontea]

WE have neighbors whose house has been foreclosed for a couple of months now... and haven't left. plus the dad is a redneck who thinks loud trucks=Big Balls. so apparently he has balls the size of basketballs with the sound of his truck.
