Weird neighbors...

you tie with mykl. strange in both case to get a pair of peculiar neighbours, one oddball you can understand. i suppose they pick the oddness up off each either and keep mutually reinforcing it until they are both very strange, in the same way. i think the bowl might have been to save water, don't get the germ phobia though.

Not sure about neighbors, I keep to my self most of the time I am however (according to hubby) weird and he said neighbors think that way too I don't like living in a house with open curtains I don't mind opening windows or doors, but I don't like open curtains hubby said the neighbors think I'm serial killer or we are both killers ... and once our neighbor said he thought I 'disappeared' because I don't mingle I told him that I won't live my life (in my home) the way other people want me to if they think I am serial killer that is perfectly fine, at least this way my home is safe from burglars etc because they know I will find them Someone (I don't remember who)thinks I am some kind of mafia or something (at the time I was Catholic) well that's even better, I wouldn't have to deal with delays when I order anything for my home business indeed, there is bright side in everything...

sounds like you might very well win - tho if they were allergic - or had a child who was a bubble baby type, they might have an explanation...

I will send you the number of my psychiatrist. Please get some cloves on and give her the number, okay. That is so freaky. You win a packet of powdered water. TATA.

Is that really true? That's really weird. I can see some neurosis there. What's in their minds? No one will ever know since they never talk to anyone. Let reality TV get to the core of this story by featuring the couple. I'd surely watch it.

oh. i think they should get the prize~ lolXD they were probably anti-dirt freaks... wrapping the house with plastic to keep the dust from sticking... wearing surgical masks and gloves...maybe for the same reason... cutting grass with scissors...o_O...and watering the lawn with a bowl...as cost-cutting measures... ugh, it's hard to explain why they do what they do. but i guess that's exactly why they should win the coveted weirdest neighbor prize;)

Oh my..Well, we were probably the ones thought of as the weird neighbors..We didn't have a lawn mower a lot of the time growing up and my step-dad made us use a sickle to cut the grass down. and once as punishment my step-dad made my brother use scissors..

I would have to say you win the weirdest neighbor prize, on the plastic wrap house alone. I have seen a house before that was completely surrounded by trees. I always wondered what would happen if a tornado would hit that area. At the same time, I have been surprised one hasn't. I think every neighborhood has to have one person that has to be in everyone's business. I think there is a rule about that sort of thing. A house that is wrapped in plastic. I wish you had pictures of that one. Maybe they couldn't afford a lawn mower, so the wife had to cut the grass with scissors. Just a thought. I don't own a weed eater, mainly because I have broken 2 already. I do my edging with scissors, a trick I learned when I lived on base housing. Will be getting one though. Hum, watering the lawn with a bowl of water. That would take forever and be a pain in the butt. I keep a container to collect the water that drips out from the ac, then I put it into a bucket. I then use a watering can to water my plants. With the price of water going up, I can't afford to water my lawn all the time. So, I don't water it all the time, nor will I use the water I collected. With them wearing gloves and masks all the time, they didn't have to worry about talking to anyone, because no one probably wanted to talk to them either, lol.

Yup! You absolutely do get the prize. I can't imagine feeling very good about living that way. Surely everything was in perfect condition, but it doesn't sound the least bit comfortable.

We have a few annoying neighbors one who is still insisting that my female cat got her other neighbors cat pregnant! Yeah you read that right plus our girl is fixed. They are weird though too with their lawn/ Everyday using stuff to keep it perfect, even spraying it with some kind of aerosol can of god only knows what but she get's on her hands and knees and crawls around the yard with this can. Your old neighbors sound as if they have severe OCD a=and possibly Skitsofrantic disorders. We lived next to a gay couple who the one was OCD and he always wore those yellow gloves to do dishes with and a face mask. They where open about it though and where very quite so I never thought it too weird I guess. Though the apartment wasn't covered in plastic wrap!?

Ok, you definitely win the weirdest neighbor prize! I'm assuming there were no kids living at that house? Unless they were in the closet wrapped in plastic or something - ha ha. Hmmm - can't top your neighbors. At our other apartment when my daughter was a baby, we'd go on a nightly walk after dinner. Every night, there was this scary wispy Asian woman in the next building who would stand near the street and just STARE at one spot in the sky for like 15 minutes. No fail, she was out there same place, same time, staring at the same direction every night. She never said hello or anything . . . she was a ghostly figure and just freaked us out. I'd rather have weird neighbors . . . I've had more of the annoying kind!!

Although we have some weird neighbors, yours wins! Wow! The neighbor to the south of us is going slowly senile. She accuses the neighbors on both side of her of trespassing and steeling from her. She called the cops on her neighbor on the other side of her of steeling her dirt! She had a tree taken out to make room for the fence leaving a huge mound of dirt. It rains and the dirt washes into their yard. She lowered the grade on our side and didn't put in a retaining wall. Our water is draining onto her property, creating unsafe ice patches on her front lawn and sidewalk. For this she yelled at my children. The neighbor to the north gets boozed up and calls the cops when we trim our bushes near the property line saying we are "destroying her property". My mom had a guy move in next door and lived their for a couple of years. He ran a "house of ill repute" "Ladies of the evening". Cops were called there all the time.

hands down, you're the winner... and i thought my neighbors were weird, this dude used ask me everyday if they could have a guava fruit and he always complained about the fruit being this bitter. why would he come back everyday just to complain? and he was eating the... what's opposite for ripe? unripe? well you get the idea.. but still, them neighbors of yours are the winner. maybe they're just neat freaks and try as much as possible to save water. :)

We had a serial killer as a neighbor once...thing is he was a nice and caring man bt wat he did at night was somthing else...We later found out he has been doing that for 16yrs and he moves a lot.Also in those places people just go missing after some time.Weird to greet that neighbor every morning rite?

Nope, you win. I wondering why though. Do you have the answers?

I... uh... Wow, you sure do win the first prize on this one. I think I saw that kind of family in a cartoon or something but I guess fiction is not far from reality sometimes. I have a neighbour that when gets in a fight with her husband, screams like a banshee (literally). I once thought he was putting a knife in her, but that's just my wild imagination. Other than that, normal people. Who knows, maybe I am the weird neighbour...

Yes, you win the most weirdest neighbor in the entire world! They must have been highly immuned for them to be able to wear surgical masks.. I have never seen something like this before. Really weird!

Yep, you win! I think they would be listed as 1) either incredibly cheap and didn't want to invest in a lawn mower or hose. or 2) Obsessive Compulsive.. No I live with one of the latter and she will spend hours bagging up garbage. or cutting the rasberry vines down "WITH SCISSORS" into 6 inch lengths so they will fit in the lawn and leaf bags - Yes she has done this And then she brags to everyone how she spent weeks cleaning up the back yard! UM, I wouldn't be proud that it took you WEEKS to do what any normal person could do in a few hours time! I think I win for weirdest roommate though.. I have more stories... but I'll save them for another time- I don't want to overwhelm. :-)

Dawn- Wow. It sounds like the last may have had some issues such as OCD or such. I can't say I have had anything that weird, but I've had some weird ones in the past. At our last place we had a neighbor who would have these late night slam events. Our living rooms were the walls connected and we'd hear him yelling and slamming things around and against our wall. One night he slammed so hard that our items on the wall came flying off. I heard a woman moaning, so I called the police who later stated they searched his entire apartment to find nothing! I am still suspect because we saw him move out, and he had a blonde girl throwing bags over the balcony. I had a neighbor, a very long time ago, who used to like to let herself in my home. It annoyed me to no end! My guess is it was cultural, but I finally had enough and told her to stay out of my home. Namaste-Anora

Hi Dawnald!. I don't really have a weird neighbor because we tend can not live alone because there is a certain occasion we need their help. We are not to individual, the side effect is a gossip because every one want to know others business. The most unpleasant is a few snob neighbor and controller person. So I can say I never see any one who wrap their house with plastic . Whats wrong with over grown a three isn't it good for environment?.
