Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
Sure there are some good stories on here.
He's passed away now, but a few years back we had a neighbour who'd use his astra once a week to go shopping then use the bus for anything else
Every morning around 7 he'd get the astra out of the garage, reverse up the large drive and park it on the road out side his house. Then around night fall he'd go out and put it away.
If you had friends arrive after dark, if he spotted it, he'd often get the car back out and park as close as he could to their bumper, if they were parked outside his house
Was a lovely guy, just seemed to like his spot. I was always hoping someone would abandon a car in his spot to see how he'd react

Apt username...My neighbours son (40ish) comes to visit fairly regularly, all he does when he is there is walk up and down the front path, for hours. He will get to the front gate, look right then left, walk back towards the house.....then repeat.
Most bizarre to witness, I think he is a bit mental, poor bugger
Start burning garden waste on a Saturday afternoon despite being at home all week to do it and living next door to a busy pub with a nice pub garden full of people eating and also next door to my house with windows, doors open and washing on the line.
To make matters worse I live next door to my parents. FFS

One of my neighbours waits for me to start doing jobs in the garden then without fail leans out of his upstairs window and shouts that he has a <insert name of a tool for a job I'm not doing> I can borrow if I want.
Last night he wanted to lend me a breaker bar to tidy up the edge of the lawn (I was using a lawn edging tool at the time).

Which part do you find odd? My 86 year old neighbour gets his crappy Chinese 125 bike out to go get the paper in the morning. Both he and his wife have cars, and there's next to no traffic, but he still puts on a sturdy jacket and gardening gloves and gets the bike out of his garage. (Don't get me wrong, I'm all for not giving up and if it was worth riding I'd applaud him, it just seems daft.)
Empty the entire contents of his house into his back garden.
Chop down every tree and plant and chuck that onto the pile too.
Start knocking down the boundary walls.
His wife left him and he went a bit doolally.
Unfortunately we are trying to sell our house - difficult when it appears we have Mr Trebus living next door.

I live on a narrowish, private road with about 8 houses on it. two of my neighbours are locked in a battle with each other over car parking:
they can only get their cars (2 per household) on the drive in line. because their houses have land that is pie shaped (so narrow part on the road, then fanning out) they struggle with road parking and of course when they have visitors its worse.
they both obsessively try to pinch parking gaps and park badly to cause problems for each other.
I watched one of them get a string line the other day, pin it the house fascia board, walk down the garden with it, to establish the exact centre point of the hedging line.
and then pin a private property sign to a tree in the garden.......... like its not bleedin obvious two cars parked on a driveway in a domestic setting are not on a private property.

It sounds like we all have similar neighbours.
I have the same problem as the OP. Angry neighbour (with an Astra) likes to defend his territory by parking his car on the road outside his house, generally when others require parking on the road nearby, leaving his garage and double driveway clear!
He also likes to whistle on his way home from the pub each night but his speciality is creating as much noise as humanly possible when putting wheelie bins out, again after returning from the pub around 11.30pm.
Poor bloke obviously has some anger issue, with my next door neighbour I think but he's not in the best of health so the spells he has in hospital make our life easier.
