Had a neighbor who always picked up trash on our street. Great, except dude liked to run the hose over them and hang them up to dry. Bottles, paper, clothes, food, cigarettes, you named it. After drying the stuff out, he’d throw the stuff away. —LederhosenSituation

I lived in a rural area for a few years and my next door neighbor showered her son naked in the backyard with a hose, no curtains or anything. That wasn’t the weird part. The weird part is that she did it until he was 13. —EsQuiteMexican

I live in Michigan. Most winters we get a lot of snow. The house next door has never had the brightest people living in it. Woke up one day to the fire department parked in the street. Apparently my neighbors thought they could save time shoveling snow by just covering their driveway in gasoline and melting it. They would also burn trash all the time. —BryBry_Bebo

My neighbour looked over his fence, looked at me straight in the eyes and said ‘the last time I looked at somebody like this, they died a week later.’ After that he just went back to his business like the conversation never even happened.
I was about 8 when he said this to me! So I spent the next week living in fear. —onefortysevenone

Mine sits in his hedge watching my husband and I working (we run a farm) and then he copies what we are doing. He wears camo and thinks we can’t see him! —frenchcaptain

Back in the ’70s and ’80s, my aunt had a neighbor who was a longtime volunteer at the local blood bank. I doubt this would be allowed today, but back then she was allowed to take home the old, expired blood which would otherwise be thrown out. She used it as fertilizer for her garden. You’d see her out on sunny days, on her knees, with a big sun hat and gloves, cheerfully working human blood into the soil around her roses.
Her roses, you’ll want to know, were magnificent, as were the rest of the flowers in her garden. —HarryBridges

He likes to play his violin in the small forest between our houses in the early hours of the morning. Scares the f*** out of me. —BiggieSmalls

My bedroom was on the side facing the street and at least twice a month the neighbour across the street would end up sleep walking naked in his front garden. I’d get woken up by their blinding lights coming on… Very confusing. —iamgregreg

We live in an older neighborhood with chain link fences. You can see pretty much everything in the neighbor’s yards. We have one neighbor who feeds stray cats and he’ll stand in the back yard every evening and call them to dinner.
He’s a big man with a huge belly and he stands on his back porch in his boxers calling the cats by name. ‘Here Fat Boy! Here Cry Baby! Here Big Momma! Kitty kitty kitty!’ In this really high pitched call. It lasts about 10 minutes and due to some weird acoustics it sounds like he’s right outside my window hollering for the cats. I peek through the blinds and there he is in his underwear on his porch calling the cats. —metal_rooster

My neighbor regularly sits in a chair in his garage and… just sits there. For hours. And it’s not like his garage faces the street so it’d be comparable to someone sitting on their porch — his garage faces my garage/house so that’s pretty much all he has a view of. He also has a back porch which faces his backyard and woods, but he never sits back there.
He’s a pretty nice dude and I’ve pretty much gotten used to the obligatory exchange of ‘Hey’ when he’s there when I leave the house or get home, but for the first few months I lived here it’d really creep me out that 9/10 times I’d go to leave or pull in the driveway he’d just be there, facing me, sitting in a lawn chair in the middle of his garage. —dazasm

I live on the second floor of a two-floor apartment.
I was outside, walking down the steps to the ground, when my next door neighbor just walks outside and throws an entire plate of spaghetti over the side of the balcony onto the bushes below. I looked up at him like ‘WTF?,’ and he just stared at me and said, ‘I made too much spaghetti,’ then walked back inside. —ursois

My neighbor my freshman year of college was a nice enough dude, but sometimes he would sit in complete silence, with his eyes closed (meditating?) while slowly eating a whole banana. Whole as in: with the peel on. It was unnerving. —soomuchcoffee
