Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 We have some real doozies here too. On the right are a big family that share a duplex. Their kids are the worst kids on the block, but they watch my kids like they’re felons. They smile at you then talk to the cops and anyone who will listen about you. On my left in our rented duplex is this …… guy. I caught him watching my kids in the kiddie pool thru the fence last summer in his bikini. I caught him fighting my little terrier with his muzzled German Shepard through our fence. He used to listen for my door to close and come out to say the same nothings he said every day before just to keep me standing there, nodding. He used to live here so I am still looking for the trap door into the hole in the basement where he kept his captors. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Are you serious? Geez, there sure are some real nuts out there. We have a family on the second floor under us that has made living here a living hell. Talk about white trash. The mother uses the "f" word with every other word out of her mouth. They have a little boy, he's about 4, who swears like a sailor. He looks right at you and says, "F*%k you". It's unreal. They also have a 16 y/o boy who is into Marilyn Manson and wears red contacts. He steals like crazy. They were stealing cable from us, and we think they are doing it again. We called the cable company to report it, but they told us that the first time someone steals cable, it just goes on file. Only on the SECOND time do they get in trouble. Doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. We already called and reported it again. These people leave dirty diapers out in the trash cans, so since they have moved in, rats have come into the yard. It's so gross. The little one poops on the floor like an animal, and plays with his poop. I wish they would move, and soon. They make SO MUCH noise, you cannot believe. Always, always banging, screaming, or fist fighting. ~*Kerrie*~ Re: Re: Normal neighbors we had neighbors living above us 3 years ago who took us to small claims court for 2 months' rent because they claimed we were cult members trying to poison them with air freshener.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 actually Kerrie, we were in a similar situation with our psycho neighbors. They used to leave their garbage in the common hallway of our house with dirty diapers in it. One night the smell was making our living room unbearable, so we sprayed air freshener -- in our own living room, mind you. But little did we know they were listening at our door. The next thing we know, they had called the fire department to investigate our poisoning.. LOL. The firemen didn't even bother to knock on our doors. It was easy to gather that the man upstairs was a bit loony just from talking to him for a few seconds. --- Kerrie wrote: > Are you serious? Geez, there sure are some real nuts > out there.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 That's unreal. I can't believe someone would do that. What a waste of the firemen's time. I hate those kind of nosey neighbors that listen to everything you say and watch every move you make. That's how it is here. My landlady is the type who watches everyone who comes in and out of the house. I can't have anyone over without having to hear from my mother the next day who I had over, what time they came over, and what time they left. If I go shopping, I have to walk by her window (she's on the first floor) and put the bags really low, or else she jumps to these really wild conclusions. I should tell you though, my land lady really is crazy. I'm not just being dramatic. She has major mental problems and it on tons of meds for it. She also has Parkinson's, so she is always shaking really bad too. My mom takes care of her, kind of like a home health aid. I could tell you some stories about my land lady that are unbelievable, for sure. She's just nuts. She's super, super nosey though. I get lots of packages from stuff I buy online since I hardly ever leave the house and she asks my mother if I have drugs in the boxes. Some of the boxes are really big. Who could be on that many drugs, lol? She once accused us of making drugs in the bathtub cause we wouldn't let her son come up and look at the bathroom cause I was in the shower at the time. Talk about a total nutcase. I avoid her at all costs. ~*Kerrie*~ Re: Re: Normal neighbors actually Kerrie, we were in a similar situation withour psycho neighbors.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 It gets funnier, . One of the things they told the magistrate when we went to court (and by the way, the dude actually made up last names for us because he did not know what they were, yet we had to show up anyway!) is that we were purposely leaving our front door wide open, in the hopes of murdering their infant daughter. Somehow, this child, who was not even old enough to walk, according to him, was going to unlock and open their front door, walk down the steps, open the big heavy storm door, open the screen door, walk down MORE steps to the front walk, walk down the driveway, and into the street into traffic. and yes, they did lose their case. And were evicted shortly thereafter. but you really should have been there to hear him say, " your honor, they are in a cult. A CULT I tell you!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I'm so sorry for all that you have to go through. I guess I should just consider myself lucky. The young man across the street was dealing drugs and obviously using them, but has been pretty good lately. Believe it or not.... no word of a lie.... he acts up around a full moon. His mother has power of attorney over his medical records and medications, so what does that tell you.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Yeah, mine is always here except when my mom takes her for a ride once in a while. She doesn't miss a fart either. She even keeps tabs on all the neighbors, including my mom. She is the type who will pump you for information too. I hate that. Like I said, I avoid her now. I used to go down and talk with her cause I felt bad for her cause she never gets out, but you know what? Neither do I! Lol. After I found out how she gossips about everyone and makes up these crazy stories and tells people, I had enough. No one likes her, she has no friends because of how she is. She really is a sick woman. It's sad. Now I just pray for her. ~*Kerrie*~ Re: Re: Normal neighbors Kerrie, what a nightmare!!We are actually blessed with a wonderful landlord.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I've got lots of drug dealers around here. It's a bad area now. It's wasn't always like this. It used to be just older Irish and Italian people. Now it's all Hispanic or African Americans. I'm not saying they all are drug dealers cause I'm not prejudiced at all, but the ones who brought the drugs to this street are the minorities in this case. The white people are just as bad too. We have crack dealers next door to my mom. It is awful. You got my moms house that's all perfect and clean and next door this filthy house that has cars pulling up at all hours and drug runs and a backyard with an old mattress and all kinds of junk. I would hate to live next door to them cause my parents hear lots of strange things happening there. I'd do anything to move out of the city. ~*Kerrie*~ Re: Re: Normal neighbors I'm so sorry for all that you have to go through. I guess I should just consider myself lucky.

I can hear EVERYTHING that goes on in the 2nd floor's bathroom. I bet they can hear us too though. I don't know what is going on down there, cause they are ALWAYS in the bathroom! The whole family together! Everytime I use the bathroom, there they all are. It's giving me a complex. Now I have to run the water just to pee, lol. I'm afraid they are listening so they can report back to the land lady. It really would not surprise me.
