I was driving down a small road in an estate recently. Near the end of it there were two cars parking on the road either side with maybe just enough room to squeeze a car through. The rest of the road both side empty. There was a kid sitting on the wall beside one of the cars. I got out of my car and ask the kids did she did her parents own the car. Then a man came out of the house and told me to ask the guy across the road to move his car!! Some kind of war. I just got in the car and drove it through the gap. About an inch either side...

Handy lads if the fire brigade were ever needed for houses down below their own!

My neighbour sometimes cuts the grass when it's dark. Torch on his head. Also does noisy outdoor work at inappropriate times. Cutting sticks, strimming, power washing, early on a Sunday morning. Spends about 2 hours every Sunday cleaning his car, there doesn't even be a mark on it. We call him "the man who can't sit down" to the tune of The Script song.

Use to work with a chap that use to cut his grass at night, and measure it with a ruler afterwards, he was also bipolar with possible borderline personality disorder, a dreadful condition.

Isn't that counter intuitive, won't the grass be damp from the dew?

There's a lad in the corner house on my road, his front garden is probably 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and the sprinkler throws water about 15 feet down and 8 feet across. The entire footpath is soaked.
On Saturday afternoon someone had moved it to in front of his door.

Sprinkler for grass in Ireland?

I've seen them the odd time.

Occasionally my neighbour sends me photos of my own front garden. And photos of her dog. Not even doing anything unusual or cute, just sitting there.

Gotta say, I sometimes pity the dog.

GreeBo · 21-05-2018 11:10AM

I've used one during the summer, we can go a couple of weeks without rain during a good summer and grass will burn.
Also, if you have over-seeded its required.

This very large family live directly across the road from my girlfriend. There's a girl of about 11 or 12 who seems to be autistic and spends an awful lot of time outside their house on the street holding up an I- pad and dancing along to something she's playing on it. She or the rest of the familys not causing any trouble or anything but she's directly facing my OH's living room and if you're sitting down watching the telly or whatever it can be disconcerting with this constant movement in your eyeline (she tends to bop up and down waving her free arm in the air). I usually end up drawing the curtains after a while though it doesn't seem to bother my OH as much. The family are kind of strange, one of the older daughters and her partner plus their two very young children are always at this house any time I'm there, you know because they go outside smoking every 20 minutes or so. I thought they were living there but my partner says they have a house of their own from the council somewhere nearby yet they spend a huge part of everyday at this place. As I said they're not causing trouble but they're a strange bunch and the girl dancing can be very annoying. They have a car but they never seem to go anywhere either, they're just always there.

Bet you're an Arsenal fan OP, voyeurism ain't right it's wrong wrong wrong

Used to have a neighbour that didn't mind walking around naked.
And I could never understand why they couldn't move that headboard just a little bit away from the wall!!!!

My weird neighbour -

Man in his late 40's. Lives alone with about 10 cats. None are neutered and make lots of noise when in heat. His house looks derelict with wildly overgrown front and rear gardens which he thinks looks like the Botanic Gardens. When we moved in over 10 years ago, the net curtain in the rear bedroom had been ripped at the bottom by the cats. Gradually over the years it got smaller and smaller until there was just a 2 inch strip left at the top. It stayed like this for some time. He is the first owner. He never put a floor down in the kitchen. Its still the bare concrete. He made a hole in the wooden back door for the cats to come and go as they please. His curtains in the front living room have never been opened. His gutters are overflowing. His garden walls are cracked from the roots of the large trees and about to fall down.

We had walls built to divide the gardens years ago. A couple of years later his goes mad at me saying the wall isn't straight and THIS will affect the resale value if he wanted to sell!!!!!

There's more, but this will do for now.

Cuddlesworth · 21-05-2018 11:43AM

Seems less like a weird neighbours thread and more like a Irish Mental Healthcare failing thread.

My pet hate is people parking in front of my house...but wouldn't go to that extreme.
Why did you park there?

I'll go with park opposite my driveway. Pain in the glutes trying to reverse out and always be aware of their car right in the reversing line.

Title says it all . And let me kick this off.

I recently moved in to new area ( 3 years agoo ) . Off the city grounds nice quiet row of houses. And since then i just cannot stop amusing myself with my strange neighbors next door. Granted that now its starting to get ditruptive and i do not know even how to approach the problem. My neigbours are loveley irish couple in their early 30s have a beautiful child little girl lets say about 5 or 6 years old. Male leaves every morning like clockwork at 5.45 am . 7 days a week and comes back at exatcly 4.25 pm . i do not know how he times it so specific. But anyway . woman remains home with the child she drops her off and comes back thats monday to friday. Then like clockwork next car pulls in male in big bmw .... And then it starts . at first i thought there was fight between her and this male untill .....
I realised it was some sort of pleasurabe activity. One can only wonder what sort activities took place. After very long activity could hear shower going and after man gets in car drives off and womans partner returns home with the child . THIS HAPPENS monday to friday. Lady must be exausted .

What's her address?

I was in a Civil Defence fire appliance a few years ago en route somewhere, we came across this very situation, we couldn't get the Dennis through. Ended up with the six of us lifting the car out of the way!

Aren't you allowed to just barge through? I heard from a friend in the Ambulane service that this is what they're trained to do.

I dont think even Ambulance drivers can barge through a couple who are going at it, even if she is a cheating whore! :eek:

Ah now....that's jumping to conclusions a bit no?

Could be any number of other explanations besides her cheating, she could be a massage therapist or work from home dominatrix?

OP I think it's time you get a bit closer to your neighbours, you need to invite yourself over for tay or dinner and try to get the tour of the house.

Keep a good eye out for any unusual ornaments or furniture.

I just want to know how to aproach this without not putting my foot in to couples relationship or what ever else they are doing on the side

Just make a very loud phone call to a friend and start laughing. When their noise has stopped. And before the showers.
If they can then hear you...etc...etc.

Simples

Probably unaware you're there tbh
