Neighbours
I used to live next door to a pair of elderly naturists, only finding out about their hobby when they bade me a cheerful, saggy 'Hello' while I was 25 feet up a ladder repairing the chimney. Luckily, a bush broke my fall, but the memory of a fat, naked man in an ill-fitting wig will live with me forever.

Mr Whippy
When I moved up North in 1998 I shared a house in Wakefield with four other lads. I think technically it was semi-detached - we shared the overall building with a family of four next door, but our garage and a ground floor room abutted that of the next house along, owned by a sixty-something busybody who'd probably spent his entire adult life working in local government or as an actuary for a life insurance company. Now, while we never heard a peep out of the family (with children) that we shared an internal wall with, any activity greater in scale than tiptoeing about in socks was apparently transmitted through our garage and our neighbour's with such force that his whole house shook, upsetting his elderly mother. If we reversed cars up the drive (so that the driver could actually get out, instead of being trapped in by a large hedge), the reverberations of exhaust on the garage door apparently shook his whole house, upsetting his elderly mother. If somebody ever (completely legally) parked a car so that any part of it crossed the invisible boundary on the street between our house and his he'd complain that "the ambulance" wouldn't be able to park there (I only saw one ambulance on our street in eighteen months, and that's because I called it when my mate had a fit and fell down the stairs).
The majority response to all his complaints was just to humour him (with a sotto voce "stupid old cunt"), although my Australian housemate did decide to do a great big steaming shit on his doorstep one night before flying home.
