Scary NeighboursMy immediate neighbours are lovely. But the next house down from that? Crimminy biscuits - he's a 70 year old taxi driver who loves to tell me at length about the people he's put in hospital and how Soho is "run by Maltese ponces." How scary are your neighbours?

BodysnatcherWe have a neighbor, Dave, several houses down that I refer to as The Bodysnatcher (nothing interesting about it -- he actually just helps the local Medical Examiner on weekends with "body pick-ups"). Dave sits in his backyard, always with a beer can in hand, and stares at any neighbors in view. If you dare to make eye contact, he stares back without flinching. Continue to stare and he'll walk up for mindless chatter about nonsense. Last week he told me the neighborhood's going bad. When I stupidly asked why, he replied "It's getting a little dark a few blocks over." One day I was trying to remove some old fenceposts, so he came over (beer always in hand) and watched me dig .... for 20 minutes. Left when I told him there was an extra shovel for him. Strangely, we never see him drink out of the beer can .... he just holds it.
Not as bad as the elderly deaf couple next door. They communicate by yelling as loud as they can .... a lot of "WHA ??? HUH? SAY AGAIN? At least we can have loud parties that they'll never hear.
