Geezzee where to even begin ?
We had one set of neighbors that lived directly behind us that spoke to us maybe twice in the 8 years we lived there, no reason why. We'd see them talking and walking with other neighbors all around us, but for some reason only spoke to us when A- their tree removal contractor lost control of a tree they were having removed and it knocked down two sections of our privacy fence and B- one time the power was out and he asked the kids how long it had been out.
The wonderful family across the street had to move out of town, they were just really great people. Super easy to get along with, kept their house up, were polite and nice and caring, but not nosey or busybodies. They tried for a good long time to sell the house, but it just didn't sell and they had to turn it to a rental.
Renter A - a deranged family of multiple layers...the mother who claims she was a court reporter was a significant chain smoker who has her office set up in the garage and worked until 3 or 4am, with the garage open and bright light on, never ever ever paid attention to her kids, other than screaming at them for even being present, the kids would run up and down the street all day, wearing the same clothes for day and day, would beg for snacks or to come inside and play. My kids couldn't take it anymore, they could never play outside without getting bombarded by these kids. She would constantly have all kinds of people/cars in,out,in,out, but she herself very rarely ever left the house. Her oldest child was middle school aged and was some level of special needs who rode the regular bus with my daughter, one day he wasn't on the bus, before my child could get half way from the bus to our home the neighbor went charging up to her screaming at her "wheres my son !, why isn't he on the bus, where is he !" I had to make a beeline for the mom to cool her jets and stop screaming at my daughter, that she should be calling the school, not screaming at my kid in the middle of the road. Then one time they set up a pretty large soft sided swimming pool, which are not allowed by our HOA. Homeowner tells her to take it down, so she moves it into the garage ! Fills it back up full and within a week one of the kids wrecks it, knocks the side over and floods the garage, thank goodness our garages were poured with 3 foot cement forms for the footings. Worst of all they had a poor poor dog they did not take care of. Well, they did at first, but within a few weeks, they had him tied up all the time, also not allowed by HOA, then it progressed to the point where she had him tied to a tree on the side of the garage all the time, then the dog started getting aggressive (not his fault) because it was tied up all the time, the poor dog dug a huge pit on the side that it laid in. When they would feed it, they would just dump a bag of dry kibble in the sand pit, but then it would rain and bloat up and would stink to high heavens and swarms of flys. I had to call animal control 3 times over several weeks and they finally took the dog.
Renter B - we thought they would be better since the home owners personally knew the renters. what a dog & pony show those people were. again, seemed normal at first, until we found out the husband had done prison time. He had a son from a previous marriage, that he had on weekends. well I should say that loosely, because any time he was at his dads house, he was actually at ours. He would come over at 9am and want to stay for hours and hours and his dad couldn't give two hoots about it. There were several times where we would have to be walking him back home at 9:30-10pm at night because he just would not leave. We'd be knocking on the door for him to go inside the house, you'd hear the door unlock but no adult open it, he'd just walk in and shut the door. One time they had left the house, and left the screen door propped open and they front door wide open. I thought maybe they'd be right back, hours later it's still open and their dog is running up and down the street. I call the non-emergency police, hoping nothings wrong, or somebody hurt. They come about an hour later, check all over the house, no sign of anyone, it's been pouring rain for hours, the police find the dog, put him in the house, and lock the handle and shut the door. We did not see a single person or car for 2 more days, which means the dog was locked inside the house alone for two days. Then the husband and wife had a huge blow out fight, where the husband of the house to the right came over to confront him that he had been sexting his wife ! Husband of house one to the left intervenes (he's LEO, calls for back up) Husband of rental house goes psycho and takes his wedding ring off, throws it in the retention pond behind house, then locks himself in bathroom, swallows a bottle of pills, by time Police get there, they have an ambulance on the way as well, get him out of the house and pump his stomach on the front lawn......they separated for awhile, but got back together and she got knocked up and they now have a baby. Homeowner had to evict them
Pretty sure my kitty corner neighbor is dealing. Cars come and go quite a bit and they never are there longer than 5 minutes. He also is great with the ladies, each one lasts about 6-9 months and ends with a screaming match in the front yard. Usually complete with clothing and belongings flying out the front door too.
