20 of the Weirdest Neighbors People Have Ever Had

Ah, neighbors: You can’t live with ‘em, you can’t afford to buy an abandoned farm in the middle of nowhere. Thanks to pop culture and local neighborhood Facebook Groups, we’re all familiar with the archetypical categories of “bad neighbors.” The unskilled musician. The careless pet owner. The ugly naked guy. We should all aspire to such impressive levels of self-unawareness.

Some neighbors, however, go beyond “yippy dog.” They actively terrorize you, commit actual crimes against you, or worse still, they’re just weird. They’re always in sight, doing things you can’t explain, and for reasons that are incredibly obvious, it’s not like you can just ask them. All you can do is theorize on the internet. 

That’s why one Redditor asked r/AskReddit, “What strange things do your neighbors do?”

not_a_turnip 8y ago They stole my garbage can. Like, the fuck you stealing my garbage can for?!?
SaltyTonko 8y ago My neighbor has a bush they trim to look like a penis.
Jjhillmann 8y ago My neighbor plays guitar and sings to his parakeets on a daily basis.
ProgressiveHeathen 8y ago I live in an apartment that has at least 50 people and I've only seen 5 of them ever. In one year.
publicbigguns 8y ago Не likes to come over and stand in my yard and watch me do yard work. Не says God I love watching you work to me every fuckin time, and yes he says it just as creapy as it sounds.
drcatlove 8y ago They roll around in their shallow, backyard pond in the summer time like basking seals. It's a father and his three middle aged children.
JustPassMeBy 8y ago They have this GIANT Cubs sign that lights up the block. Truly annoying. It's on every single night. The day the cubs won, that light never came back on. Seems weird to me.
makalo410 8y ago Our neighbors only greet our dogs, not us. It's getting to the point where we hear them calling our dogs names from outside when our dogs go to the window.
TheElectricCO 8y ago My downstairs neighbor has security cameras everywhere. However, they're all pointed INSIDE her apartment. I don't know what she's monitoring.
DaCyberpanda 8y ago Was drunk as fuck, started sawing a big branch of a tree we have in front of our building while screaming on top of his lungs I'M A FREE MAN. Then proceeded to get his ass beat by another neighbor who wasn't having none of his shit.
 8y ago Before their sprinklers were installed, my neighbor would walk outside and water his grass at precisely 5 o'clock every evening. Didn't matter what the weather was, so once or twice I looked out my window to see my neighbor outside in pouring rain with his hose, watering the grass.
Yankeeinthesouth 8y ago The mom stands on our shared patio and watches her two kids bang on the glass door to make my dog bark like crazy. They bark back at him. Then she pretends to not speak English when I bring it up.
ragicaevah 8y ago My neighbor across the street, mid-60s likely widowed, walks his cat on a leash. The best part is that the cat genuinely seems to enjoy it. Tickles me to death every time I see them.
 8y ago They're not my neighbors anymore, but every year at midnight on New Year's they would come outside and sit in a circle with a sparkler thingy in the center. They were completely silent, stayed there for about an hour, then went back inside. I was always too afraid to ask what they were doing and why.
julieboebooley 8y ago They always mow their lawn in the middle of the night, even during winter. Weeknights, weekends, doesn't matter, if it's several hours after dark that's when they mow their lawn. Even in December, in New England. It baffles me.
padmaeamidala 8y ago My neighbour regularly plays the drums loudly at odd hours, but worse than that is he sometimes plays jungle noises and Halloween music out of season. He's also got a headless false torso on his house that faces our backyard
BrokenDreamsDankmeme 8y ago . Edited 8y ago Well back when I lived in New Mexico, we lived next door to the former mayor of our tiny ass town. Не would regularly go into his yard with a rifle, and shoot squirrels out of his tree. Eventually he got tired of that, and torched the tree. Edit: I lived in Roswell and this was about 12 years ago.
noname_uncovered 8y ago They spend hours playing guitar and singing the same few songs over and over. They're all popular songs from the 90s/early 2000's, but they only speak portuguese. So, it's a group of Brazilian dudes just sitting around singing things like Genie In A Bottle.
 8y ago She steals people's cats if they get out. And she says weirdly ominous things to me from over the fence when I get into my car like you know, if your house caught on fire you would probably only have three minutes to get out or My Nova is built out of better material than your car. If happened to hit you while you're backing out, I could kill you and your son.
Made_you_read_penis 8y ago I live next to a Rastafarian priest, so they have an extensive greenhouse and frequent yet subdued parties. Not going to lie it's pretty fucking awesome.
