I think every street has a resident idiot neighbour in it surely?.
You know that thing some folk do when they are pulling away from someones house in their car - they peep their horn in a sort of "Goodbye, I'm off now" type deal?. Well our neighbours do that. She pulls out the drive in her car and peeps her horn to say "Buh-bye". She does the same when she gets home. He pulls out the drive in his car and does exactly the same. Even at 5:00am when he sets off for work which is nice. Every morning. Without fail.
The strange thing though?. They both still peep their respective horns when there is only one of them at home. So he'll come home and she isn't in yet he still pulls into his drive and as he approaches, the horn gets "peeped". And vice-versa. Same when they are leaving an empty house. "Peep-pe-peep-peep" as they pull away from a house with no bugger in it. Bizarre.
I've started doing it now when I leave my house in the car and if they are in earshot, just to annoy them.

Fat, minging horny neighbours to be precise. Forgot to mention the other strange thing he does which is actually rather disconcerting is wears nothing but Speedos and clogs when he is at home. I've seen him out washing his car in October wearing this apparel. Worrying to say the least.

Nice older Turkish couple to the left, drug dealing yardies to the right. Seeing some Romany scum as well moving in down the road. Times are getting interesting.

One side of me is a chap who works shifts so I don't see him much but is fine and we have a chat when we see each other. We keep an eye on each others places and deal with the bins when the other is away normally.
The other side is currently a large number of Polish people with very little English but they are reasonably quiet (given the number of them and size of the house) and they seem pretty friendly. Before them I had a right psycho ***** from hell who spent 6 months complaining about non-existent noise and generally being a pain in the bottom; when she left it was celebration time ...

The other has a little jack russell who likes to bark at nothing but he's called Dave so it's all good.
I also get on with all the folk at the back of me & the ones tuther side of road.

Both sides are fine really...one side is a fairly old couple (both between 65 and 70). The bloke is nice and the woman is a bit weird and off, but inoffensive. The other side is rented out to 11 people apparently!! They are mostly polish I think and all work for the NHS. It's a bit weird though...there's 4 of us living in this 3 bed house, and there are 11 next door. No idea where they all sleep, poor people! I think there's also a child living in there, which can't be great for him, and maybe some other children.

My mum's neighbours have always been a bit weird.
The woman, during the summer, cuts the hedges between the two gardens literally every 2-3 days. It's like she's obsessed.
One awful day about 5 years ago I looked out of my window as I opened the curtains and saw her sunbathing in her back garden, topless.
She was in her mid-60s.
only know that now because a few weeks ago there were pink 70th birthday balloons all in their front windows.
They do go off walking a heck of a lot and she was a physio, him a police officer, so they were in good shape when they retired and have continued to do so but still, you don't want to be seeing 60 year old boobs when just innocently looking out of your window
The old lady on the other side moved out about 4 years ago now - she was 96 when she moved out and a guy bought the house, did it all up, whacked an ENORMOUS extension on the side, then spent most of his time at his girlfriend's, leaving his two yapping Border Terriers locked in night and day howling and barking. When we and his neighbours on the other side complained to him, he left us a key, told us to let them out into the garden if they were bothering us 
After about a year of this going on morning, noon and night, (he even went on holiday and left them, asking one of his mates to come round and feed them) he eventually caved in to all our complaining and gave the dogs to someone else.
Now he rents the house out to a woman and her three kids - so my mum and dad's lovely quiet garden (which they just finished doing up, new decking et al) now has a constant soundtrack of kids shrieking as they bounce on their enormous trampoline and they are always knocking on the door to ask for their ball back

One I've seen three times in ten years, the guy opposite is forever doing something in his garage or has a wheel off on his car (seriously, almost every weekend his front wheel is off ??? Nice guy though).
The other one is a total weirdo and kicks my cats, at some point I'll go looking for payback so I hope he leaves soon.
The guy further up the road is awesome, as are his neighbours.
