Weird Things Your Neighbours Do

So, not necessarily talking unpleasant or offensive, what do your neighbours do that you find weird?

First is guy opposite who has a double drive but parks his car in a visitors bay.

Second is the bungalow behind who despite living in rural Northumberland, surrounded by farmland and woodlands have a garden filled with plastic tat. Fake palm trees, flamingos, lizards. That kind of stuff. Totally not in keeping with the village etc. None of it matches though. The fake palm is next to a fake box for example.

I regularly talk to my dogs in the garden, so I'm probably the weird neighbour

I think you're OK, until they start talking back. That's when you need to worry.

or you realise you're talking to a dog that's not around any more (it took me years to get out of the habit of asking him if he wanted to go in the garden whenever I opened the back door,).

Well, as I was pulling in to my drive last night, driveway man pulled his car out of the bay (which is literally in front of his house) on to his drive to load something in from his garage.
He then drove back off his drive and in to the visitors bay

:confused:

has he had a brick paved driveway done on the cheap? Ive seen a couple where its started to sink a bit where the wheels go, maybe he's worried about that

Brand new car, brand new house.

Out of interest how does a camera stop bricks getting nicked?

Visual deterrent.

Holy threadomancy!

Something today made me remember this thread. Our (completely) deaf neighbour has just put up 2 sets of windchimes outside their house. Why? Nobody knows, but another neighbour pointed it out to me as he was killing himself laughing.

People are so weird man!

Not really weird but our neighbours seem to live off Domino’s pizza.

The other week they had about 8 pizza deliveries. One every day and twice on Saturday. Their recycling bins are stacked with empty pizza boxes. God knows what their insides are like.

I imagine cheesy and delicious.
