Who Has The Strangest Neighbor?

[Footballjoe]

The lady that lives directly across the street from me is rumored to be a "witch." About (2) yrs ago she had a bomb / hurricane sheltor installed off her back door. You can see the tunnel going into it. Last year she had Shutters installed. These look like the kind you would find on a commercial building to secure it. They are kept closed and completely seal off any light. The past few days she has had a contractor working in the back of the house. Heavy duty equipment back there. Not sure what they did.

 

If for some reason you do not hear from me for 3-4 days, please send help.

My 80 year old neighbor told me she crapped in the cat litter box for 4 days while her plumbing was out.

 

Tell me...how does a conversation even begin to warrant disclosure like that and how does one follow up with a response?

At 80 years old you ask her if her pile was larger than the cat's.

Did you ask if she was using the scoopable litter?

Oh I am quite sure that would have been my response at the moment as well.

I used to have this old guy that live next to us when I first got married. mid-60's probably.

 

He never threw anything away. His backyard was cluttered with junk. So was his front porch. As the years went on, it got worse. City made him move his old Vette and van out of driveway since they were not plated. He bought one of those aluminum carports, partially erected it in the backyard, and parked his vette in it. He cut off the roof of his mini-barn because he had "some experiments on wind generated electricity". He would buy big expensive toolboxes, put them half-way together and then leave them sitting in the yard. He built a makeshift craps table in his driveway to practice rolling dice. He would disappear for weeks traveling to indian casinos. He bought a huge metal lathe to round the corners off of dice, and claimed to have orders to fill from the Sultan of Dubai. I was cutting the grass one day, and he asked if I wanted to see the inside of an engine. I said sure. He had taken his Saturn's motor apart. A few days later he had a new car because his old one "quit working for some reason". I used to go talk to him when I was bored. Dude was nuts. When he finally died, his kids took 13 dumpsters of garbage out of his house. It smelled awful. Trash piled to the ceilings with a winding path through the house. Crazy.

Funny this thread pops up today. About 11:30 today, when I was getting around to leaving the house I noticed what appeared to be a mentally challenged lady (no, I don't live near Perch) was walking up and down the street. She crossed the street, and walked to our neighbor's house and started rummaging through their recycling bin which they keep next to their garage. We have a window that looks right out to that area, so I was watching what the hell she was doing. She pulled out some newspapers, and proceeded across the street, apparently to do the same thing over there. Then she started towards the corner house across the street, so I called 311 (our city information line, who transfered me to 911). She ended up going into the house and a car drove up about 30 seconds later and picked her up and left. Guess she may be the mentally challenged daughter of the old folks that live across the street. The cops were lazy and didn't show up in time. But still...

2 houses down from me 2 people moved in about 6 years ago. Good looking couple in their late 30's early 40's. Come to find out they are both cops for the city I live in. He's a major crimes detective and she's a patrol officer. Well over the years they really haven't been friendly, kind of keep to themselves hardly ever wave if I drive by or am out for a bike ride. They are like that to my wife. She walks the 'hood with our dogs and they are pretty cold. Well one day last year they knock at our door. They are having a big party with a band and tons of food and booze and we're invited. So we go thinking its gonna be a bore. Oh hell no. It's a full on raging party with almost everyone from our neighborhood and TONS of cops. Regular police, state troopers, sheriff deputies, the works. It's crazy. People all over doing shots and f'ing smoking Josh Gordon, the band is some killer cover band. We finally crawled out of there around 5:30 the next day. Took me 3 days to recover. Easily one of the best parties Ive been to since I was at the U.

 

I would never of thought of them that way and Im pretty sure they're swingers too.

[JoJoTheWebToedBoy]

You know the old saying.....

 

If you can't identify the Weird Neighbor........ It's probably you.

[Gopher]

you didn't draw down?

so hard my cat started looking at me funny.

[I Like Soup]

Holy poopy.

 

I have Grunge down the street from me in that darkened corner...'nuff said.

I believe I've got you all beat, though this is more of a "crazy and vindictive bitch neighbor who stalked and harassed me for a year" story instead of a "strangest neighbor" story.

 

My wife and I moved to a new area 3 years ago and began redoing our outside landscaping -- planting trees, shrubs, flower beds, etc. Before long it became apparent that there was a significant cat problem in the neighborhood and our yard became their preferred place to crap, due to all the fresh mulch. After a few months of removing pounds of waste, I looked in to solutions to the problem. As the cats did not appear to belong to anyone and appeared underweight and sickly, I began humanely trapping them and taking them to the local SPCA. Over a period of 2 years, I brought in about 40 cats. A few neighbors saw me with the traps and thanked me over and over, and two of them helped by setting traps in their own yards which I would collect and take to the SPCA.

 

One day a woman approached me in my back yard and threatened to kill me for trapping her cats, claiming there were cameras recording me killing cats, and said she lived with a police officer. In the ensuing weeks she went door to door claiming to be with the SPCA and asking neighbors if they wouldn't mind mounting cameras on their property to record my activities. She claimed I drowned cats in a pond, threw them off a bridge, and slammed them on the ground. Later she vandalized my truck, causing $1000 of damage. I filed criminal charges, and she immediately filed charges against me, for assault, destruction of property, and cruelty to animals.

 

In talking with other neighbors and several police officers, I learned that she is notoriously batsh!t crazy and keeps dozens of cats and dogs in her house. She also is known as a compulsive liar and a huge whore, cycling through boyfriends every few weeks, some of whom filed for protective orders. Ironically her preferred partners are police and sheriff's officers, I assume because they protect her or give her some air of legitimacy for a while. To give you a mental picture, she's 37, very petite with blondish hair and fake jugs. The few times I've seen her up close, she's had huge bags under her eyes which I assume are from days of being awake and high on something.

 

I checked public records and found that she has had a history of court action going back to the age of 18 -- lots of harassment, assault and similar charges against her, then charges by her filed in retaliation. One case was interesting: according to the police report, one night outside a bar she pulled a woman out of a car and beat the crap out of her, and several people had to pull her off of the woman.

 

Long story short, all charges against me were eventually dropped but she still made our lives miserable for about a year. At one point she planted a dead cat on our front porch, took a picture of it and called the SPCA. I guess we were fortunate she is so obviously stupid and crazy, so that her accusations were not believed by anyone, but it still took a toll. A positive aspect of the whole nightmare is that I read some really good books on how to deal with psychopaths and stalkers and I learned a hell of a lot about such people and how to handle these situations. I'm still fascinated by the fact that some people are simply born with no conscience and are so adept at lying and manipulating others. In the end I've come to pity the woman -- what a pathetic life.

I would've made electricity for the entire world with nothing but my Vette and a hole cut in a box if it weren't for you danged nosy kid neighbors. Of course, the FBI killed me when they realized I was close.

For some reason, this part made my pants unusually tight.

She looks like a crack whore but knows how to dress and do her hair. She would not get my attention on my worst day but obviously knows how to attract the Cletuses down here. The criminal complaints and peace order petitions filed by her ex-boyfriends and their relatives are a fun read. Here's a snippet:

 

I have been date #### ##### since May 8 2008, never lived with. Extremely jealous is #### on or about 3rd fri in may spit in face at concert in Camden (Tweeter Center). On sat, 26, 08 she punched in face on trail back to her friends house about 11PM, gave me black eye and threaten to brake windows in car. On sat, 8-16-08 while at the bar she poured beer on me and threatened to hit me with bottle when tried to stop from drinking. I made call for ride (left), 15 minutes later pounds of door of home, tries entering window, I call police, they take home. Next day go to boat no keys, no portable radio. Get call from her acknowledges involvement and varified with other sources.

 

Broke-up with that day non-stop threats of harm to me, my daughter and sister since.

 

It goes on and on, talks about how her new boyfriend is threatening to slit his throat and so forth. Poor idiot sure put up with her for longer than most would.

[matt770]

Okay I'll admit it...I did hit that a few times.

[MikesVikes]

Friend to 80 year old neighbor: So, how are you doing lately? Any bowel movements?

 

80 year old neighbor: Well some bad news there. Yes I have had bowel movements, but my plumbing is out. Luckily I have a cat and a litter box large enough for more than one cat. I've been crapping there until the plumber shows up. and yourself?

[CaP'N GRuNGe]

[matt770]

LOL

 

Seriously?

 

 

It's cold and rainy, and the TG is boring today, other than the bogus boy-in-helium-balloon story. No, I did not hit it. I generally only dole it out to my lovely wife and ol' palmy here.
