Al.

What a hide !
Couldn't imagine someone doing that !

I wonder how long it was going on for?

Several years ago before i married my better half i lived in a two bedroom flat in Wollongong . Was quite a nice place or so it seemed. I had neighbours upstairs and neighbours beside me . The neighbours upstairs was two 30ish blokes sharing a flat together , one always said gday but the other would just look at me and scurry away which seemed a little strange.
Anyway i had been living there for about 6 months and one day im home and there is a very very loud banging on my door , so i get up and open it a little annoyed and there is the "strange neighbour standing there yelling and screaming at me . All the other neighbours opened up their door to the disturbance and from what i could understand the neighbour was accusing me of sneaking into his flat at night time and standing above his bed and yelling at him ? I was totally confused and said " mate , i havent been coming into your flat , settle down . " This went on for a good half a hour , the guy was clearly a few bottles short of a 6 pack and he was threatening me that he couldnt take it anymore and if i didnt stop he would kill me .
Anyway one of the neighbours called the cops and they took him away . He was back a few days later , i guess he was but in observation at the loony bin for a few , anyway he wouldnt even look at me . Was a bit of a luagh and a good yarn to tell the boys but was a little frightening as it seems he was hearing voices and it was my voice he was hearing lol.
Anyway i put my notice in and moved out a few weeks later.
That certainly was the crazy neighbour from hell.

I have neighbours who leave their front porch light on during certain times, and it does interfere with my astrophotography....they are good neighbours and i know they dont do it deliberately....how can i be mad at them when they have 2 cute daughters as well?

I solved the problem last week when they were away, I jumped the fence and replaced the two 100 watt clear bulbs with two 25 watt pearl and reduced my light problem by 75%. The best bit is that they didnt even notice the difference.
Kee was cracking up on our side, she reckons it's the funniest thing she has seen done in a long while

So what was your address again?

I had a psycho biche live next door to us in Brisbane.

Her kitchen was next to ours and even with the windows closed we couldn't help but hear every word that was said in there. Oooh it would make your hair curl if you had heard what we heard. Her poor husband and kids, to have a mother like that. The swearing, the violence, the broken plates and furniture. And that was if the toilet seat was left up. (fair dinkum, its true)
Her poor dogs used to cop floggings, and when her 16yr old son moved out she sold his bed so he couldn't come back.
After catching her out for telling tales about my family, to (unknown to her) a friend of mine, things went pear shaped.
I came home from work one afternoon to find thumb tacks spread under my clothes line. I don't know if they were for my chooks to eat, or for my kids and myself to walk on.
Our poor dog came in one evening with massive lumpy bruises to her face, our nice elderly neighbour across the road said he had seen her beating it with a stick. She reckons it had bailed her up, our neighbour who saw it says otherwise.
It was at that stage I called the Police in so they could make a report of the incidents, just in case things escalated.
We sold up and moved not long afterwards.

And you know, friends of mine went to the same church as her and only had kind words to say about her. I say, you don't know anyone till you've lived next door to them.

I just remembered one from a long way back when
My wife and her sister rented a house in west end in brisbane
The owner wanted to keep one room locked for storage which wasn't
a problem as there was only the two of them and it was a fair sized house . A little time went by and a
few strange things seemed to pop up now and then
The odd bump in the night , occasionally something would appear
somewhere , or wasn't where you thought you left it, it was pretty weird .
The house had dead locks front and back .. it sort of "felt" like that locked room.. had something not right about it
in light of what was going on.

I had a thought and went to check it out ,down one side of the house there was a narrow
concrete path which was half open to underneath the house
up into the dark I went and there it was , the owner had hacked a hole in the floor under the locked room , ,I went up into the room .The guy was living in there !!.. stove ,fridge ,bed etc .
In the dead of night he would come out of the room and have a shower
grab a cup of milk or whatever and go back into his lair .
leaving early in the morning so you'd never hear or see him through the day .
I put a lock on the outside of the door which bought things to a head
pretty quickly.. and the girls left asap.

So if your neibours bother you some ..no matter how bad they get.. hope they at least stay on the other side of the fence
or outside

Hi Graham, that is just plain weird and a bit scary to boot. Your wife and her sister did the right thing in getting out of there.

[CoombellKid]

You wouldn't know how close that sounds to my now recently ex-partner.
All sweet and innocent, but on the home front was an absolute nightmare
to me and the kids. I'm now having to work through the trouble she has
caused, a 4' 9" nuclear time bomb.
