What about your neighbors?  Good ones?  Bad ones?  Weird ones?  Do you have a favorite story about one?

I have this weird old guy neighbor who has this butt ugly dog named Babe and it is sooo annoying! It will bark at everyone when it is outside. I started to chase it before, and I also threw an apple at it.

They didn't die...but...\nI used to have neighbors who, spring through fall, played annoying ethnic music really loud all day, every day. One day I was leaving and they had the music on and I said loudly "I wish they would just GO AWAY" and when I came home 2 hours later their house had burnt to the ground.

Yes.\n\nSeveral years ago I rented a two bedroom house on a golf course.  I wasn't impressed with the location -- I needed a house I could afford that would allow large dogs, and this was the place.  The house was old (built in the 40's), in an old section of town, and had several things wrong with it, including a landlord who took my first, last and security, assured me that the roof didn't leak (the shingles looked suspect), left the country after depositing my check and when it rained a few days later the roof in my bedroom poured.\n\nAfter things started settling down in the house I started having dreams that someone was berating me in German, a tall, slender old man.  These dreams were right around daybreak.\n\nThe man in the dreams was very adamant, very unpleasant.  Finally, I woke up during one of his tirades, and he was standing next to my bed!  And going on and on and on!  \n\nI hadn't taken any German classes since one semester of German 101 with a thoroughly obnoxious teacher several years before, so I could identify the language but not what he was saying.  But, since he had established contact there was no getting rid of him.  I saw him every morning, and although I couldn't see him outdoors, I could hear him while I did yardwork, and especially when I trimmed a tall hedge that separated the boundary of my rental home from the city shoulder right of way.\n\nOne day I visited my neighbor across the green.  She was a senior, and had lived in her house forever, so I figured she knew everyone who lived there.  Margaret knew immediately who I was seeing, a previous owner of the house.  He had been strict, and very mean -- and a wife beater.  I don't remember his name, but that his wife's name was Jean, and she would not leave him.\n\nMargaret told me he was a demanding person who expected everything kept immaculately, would never have allowed pets in the house (she thought that was the reason I was seeing him, my large dog and cat and bunny were all indoor pets) and as for the hedge...Well, whatever plant the hedge was had long branches that when left to grow naturally fell in graceful arches, and I trimmed to cultivate that growth pattern.  This man was known to pull out a ladder and stand on it with a chain saw, and he cut that hedge boxy and absolutely straight, even using a level on the top.\n\nMargaret finished by telling me that I would not have liked him.\n\nTraditionally, you tell these beings that they are dead and ask them to return to the light.  Because I was furious that he beat his wife and got away with it, I gave him grief.  He railed at me in German, I projected my loathing of him in English.  The pets stayed in the house, and we argued over the hedge.  In the end, because I have a body and he doesn't, I won and he left.\n\nNot a scary, hair-raising story, but there it is.

I have taken a complete homeless stranger to breakfast, coffee, and conversation...That was five years ago. We still talk, he is no longer homeless, and he is not a stranger anymore...he has become one of my closests friends:)  It is unique for me because normally I am a stand-offish kind of person.

My brother-in-law. Always ranting on about something, and then finding out he is totally, and completely wrong.\n\nHe actually owned a bar for a while. But no one really wanted to go. Wasn't the coziest or friendliest place!

one time when I was living in an apartment, I had the neighbors and the guy upstairs all pounding on the walls and celing. I think that I was just a little to enthusiastic.... some people just get jealous when they are not getting any

No, but my downstairs neighbor is an as*hole, so that sort of counts, doesn't it?  I mean, that's pretty scary - a 5'10" as*hole - and it's under my bed.

wow someone else who notices this!\nI read an artical about how neighbors are not really neighbors any more they just live next to someone!\nthey polled some people somewhere! Iknow not really relable but anyway~\nthey say that over 60% of people don't know there neighbors name! \ni guess they had it right in the ol days  more friendships! \nBut there is always that execption! and from my view I don't talk to strangers but i work in Detroit I'm female with no body guard I don't think the ratio is good for me to go up to strangers and talk to them!\neven helping somone on the side of the road! again i'm playing the female card! \nBut now with most peoples mindsets they look at you like a wacko or someone who is drunk when someone approaches another!\nso i feel you to a point! but maybe if the world were not so evil then i would feel at ease talking to other peeps!\nWell \nMad luv!~

There was a day in America when people greeted new neighbors with a basket or card. Invited them over for dinner and so on. Now even in small ND or MT communities you can live there for years and not know the person next door.\n\nI would like to see folks treat each other as they would like to be treated, Forgive others who wrong them, feed the hungry with the extra they have.When they go to the closet and see an extra coat, stop and think if they know someone who may need it rather than toss it in the trash.\n\nI would also like to see the local church open the doors all night and have huge signs pointing to the refrigerator, cupboards, and dishwasher. Telling any who come there to eat all they can, clean up their mess, and donate back what they have used when the time comes they can.\n\nI could go on....\n\nGreat Question\n\nPeace to you and your home,\n\nBondservant

it is quiet and all of my neighbors are old people...except for this one REALLY CUTE GUY!!!!!!!!!(and when I checked out the neighborhood, he said that he wished that I would be his neighbor...and wished me luck....so...who knows????) \n\nno, that is not why I moved in...just consider it a bonus, though\n\nI think I may need help one day and he will be the only person that will be able to ask for help... I wonder where that will lead????...
