Who is the craziest person that lives in your neighborhood?

Asked by ReadingHouses (110points) January 23rd, 2016

For me it’s a guy who thinks his car is a Lamborghini and always shows off his ‘new’ car.

It was the guy who lived across the street who referred to himself as “the cult leader”. He wasn’t crazy, but very eccentric and the neighborhood has been a great deal less colorful since he sold his house for a king’s ransom. I still see him around the city every now and then confounding the tourists. The chamber of commerce should pay him a stipend.

It’s a toss up between my mother in law and the guy next door who beats his pregnant girlfriend.

I’m in flux right now, but in my last neighborhood I think the craziest person was me! Lol.

We have a hoarder who compulsively checks things like the mailbox and garage door.
We also have a couple who basically live in the garage. Couches, tv, christmas tree and all. They are never in the house for some reason.

I have a woman who thrives in mindless gossip and boasting about her son. She thinks she’s some kind of God and knows everything. She really love a crowd and hours of gossiping. And her voice is so unpleasant to hear. Whenever she starts chatting I just want to scream from the window “please just shut up!”

My old next door neighbor who after hanging out together and going to 9 years of their summer parties, he screams at me to keep my stinking Jew kids off his lawn. That son of a bitch is lucky to still be alive and I am luckier to no longer live next door to his sorry ass. Bigots and Anti Semites are pure scum.

Probably me.

The last place I lived, it was the guy who lived below me. One morning they were drilling on the street outside. It woke me up, so I went to the window half-asleep and yelled “shhh!” in one of the interims. It kept going, and later I heard the guy below me yell “SHUT UP! MY WIFE AND I ARE TRYING TO HAVE SEX!” Oddly enough, it stopped shortly after.

There’s a few of them. Directly across from me is a crazy religious couple who, whenever they got the opportunity, would come over to talk about how Obama is an evil Muslim. They got kicked off the property for that one. Old or not, that just doesn’t fly.

Directly behind us, however, are where the truly strange things go on. When they first moved here, they seemed completely normal. Both teachers, happy, good relationship, the woman eventually got pregnant. Last summer, however, the woman ran out of her house completely naked, screaming bloody murder, and ran up to a neighbor’s house banging to be let in. The police were called and came out in huge numbers (someone said something about a gun), their kid got taken away. The woman’s brother also lives there and he creeps me out pretty badly. I hate the way he cusses at their dogs, and he flipped out last summer when the hose wasn’t untangling how he wanted it to. He walks around sounding like he’s about to murder someone all the time. He also goes into their backyard in the middle of the night with a flashlight doing who knows what quite a bit. What makes it really creepy is that multiple neighbors have seen someone carrying a flashlight in other yards, including ours.

I have now changed my mind about the names of my family and my location being posted on Fluther in the event of my death. :P

I currently live back in my home town that is home to way too many meth heads.

Let me find out if someone from Fluther lives in it ~~~

To know that, I would have to know the neighbors, and I don’t know them.

After thinking about this for a while I can’t come up with anyone who is crazy. That can mean there aren’t any or it’s me. I favor the former.
Two neighbors have “quirks”. One does not believe in lending anything under any circumstances. He will come and actually do the work but not lend you the equipment. He expects the same treatment. Frankly I’d rather just lend the generator to him.
The other guy had a stroke and now makes poor decisions that usually end up needed a lot of help. stuck car in driveway or road, stuck chainsaw, stuck mower, etc. I wouldn’t call it crazy but a stranger might..

Nobody who lives here, only the occasional passers by.

There is a guy who rides his bike at all times of the year. He usually carries a long stick with feathers dangling from one end while he’s out riding. He’s always shouting something (can’t make it out). Makes me think of Mel Gibson’s character in Braveheart about to go into battle.

In my partner’s neighbourhood there are a few colourful characters. We have names for a few. There’s LT (long talker), who once he spots you, will do his best to attract your attention, then invites himself over and complains about his horrible life for a good hour. He also looks in your windows every time that he goes by to see if you’re there and waves to you.

We have CLT (Canadian Long Talker). Another one who wont shut up when he gets you. He’s a Canadian guy who own a cottage across the street from my partner. He is like the neighbour from Home Improvement, often peering over the fence, wanting to talk. He’s done this a few times while my partner and I were in the hot tub. Creepy. He’s been over at 11ish at night, knocking on our windows and doors. Late one night we were out in the garage having a ‘bit of fun’ and he came onto the property looking for us. I could see his shadow go by the garage window. The guy is 20 years older and we have no interest in hanging out with him. He would remind you of Ron Burgundy looks wise and the fact that he has different ladies over all of the time.
