My neighbors are so freaking wierd!

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and the lady who lives next door is cutting MY grass on her new riding mower. Let me clarify...my grass wasn't insane high or anything, I cut it once a week. I have my own mower(s) and had actually had a conversation with her a few days earlier where she had asked if she could cut it. To make a long story short I told her that it was part of my routine to cut it once a week on my own rider and thanks anyway.......too freaking weird , but let me continue.

Every few weeks they have taken upon themselves to bring over this huge bunch of strange food items for us. One time a giant case of hot dogs. Probably 200 hot dogs. Another time they brought like 5 packages of ice tea bags and a similar # of jars of salted peanuts. Every time its some really strange combination. In spite of our protestations , they continue to bring these "gift bags" as if we were poor and starving(for foods that don't go together to boot) ......

The little girl who lives there plays with my kids. She will come over and just walk in the front door. The little boy across the way does too , but thats another story......anywho. If my kids are doing chores then she gets upset if we don't let her come in and help them clean house. Its really wierd , as if she doesn't comprehend the word no. We tell her the kids will be out later when the chores are done. I will walk out to get something outside and here she sits on the bench out front ,HOURS LATER.....

I just went out the back door just a minute ago and the lady is sitting in the chair on my back porch crying. I am like "whats wrong?" ...she says her dog has run off. Less than five minutes ago she was at the kennel(fence in her back yard) with her dogs and one took off from her. Instead of actually going to look for the dog , she walks down to my porch and goes into histerics about her "missing" dog.She didn't come knock on the door or anything. I was like "what do you think , its gonna come to my house?" So she mopes off around the corner of the house like the world has ended....

This is a small sampling of the wierd that happens over there every day. These people have to be from another world! There is no other feasible explaination......

I dont have that wierd of neighbors, they just mow the lawn at the worst times. They usually freakin mow during dinner time and our kitchen is right by there lot of land. That only got my dad mad not me, with my bedroom being closest to there lot of land too, they mowed it at 8o clock in the morning and woke me up during summer! I was pretty mad i coulda sworn there is a common courtousy rule where you don't do loud stuff before 9, maybe i'm wrong.

hehe.... oh the inlaws is another story altogether!

I got a father in law that bugs me to do stuff with him and when I say ok we do it tomorrow I get over there and he has gotten up at 630 am and done it just so he can gripe at me for not having is helped him do it.... or for instance I say lets do this or that Saturday.... show up Saturday and he did it Friday.... Neat old guy though. Calls me "His wifes son in law". :D :rolleyes:

UUUGGH!

I tried to resist the temptaion , but I can't.....

I didn't want this to become an In Law thread. I could use up every bit of bandwidth available for transfer on this site with stories that would amaze and astound. Confuse and infuriate....

I will give you a VERY small piees of the tip of the iceberg.

Years ago (strumming of strings and wavy background) my (to be) wife lived in Florida with a friend of mine. I had taken her back to Florida after a failed visit with her parents where they went to my work and convinced my boss that I had kidnapped her , filed a police report the whole deal. But that is another LONG story altogether , maybe another time....

To get back on track , she had come (back)up to get her belongings out of her parents house. They wouldn't allow her in the house , a big scene erupted. High points being me calming her dad down before blood pressure blew off his head and her mom calling the cops on us for "trespassing" and "theft".

The police got there completly intent on taking myself and her to jail. Once the offiver got out we talked calmly to him about what was going on. He went in to get her mothers point of view. Within five minutes he came back out and gave (my wife) a card. Told her to go in and get her belongings , and that any time in the future that she wished to have her mother locked up to call him. He would be happy to oblige.....

This is nothing compared to some of the stuff that has happened between us over the years. It got WAY worse , and still continues...... My neighbors are frosting compared to the inlaws.

before my family moved our neighbor made a little fort in the top of his garage... anyways a cold day came around... well not really cold he just wanted roasted marshmellows... anyways this kid got the pure genious to get some small sticks and douse them in gas and to start a fire up in his little fort in his garage so that he could eat marshmellows. needless to say firedepartment had to be called and the garage had to be replaced :)

my neighbor keeps farm animals in his back yard.... that's about it though... that and they have a spotlight that's powerful enough to reflect off the grass as a green glow. Nothing too bad i'd say.

punkncat that was pretty entertaining, give us some more dirt :argh:

I just don't know if I should go into the time I broke my hand on the front door because of my mother inlaw....

...or the time we were stranded for a week in Florida cause I loaned my brother inlaw money. To be paid back by a check that never was....

..or the time I told my entire family to "GET THE EFF OUT NOW , EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!"(@ my daughters 3rd bday party) ...because of that ^ same money two and a half years later...

...how about when my brother inlaw hid behind a pregnant girl to keep me from kicking his <rear>......

...the time I almost got shot by the lady next door at my old house , who happened to be a cop , while we screamed at each other....

....the time the neighbors kids tapped into my phone line and ran up a few hundred in 900# bills , and I CAUGHT them.....

Ah , I have said enough. I will let you savor these morsels and wonder.
