I get along with mostly all my neighbors except one house next door to me. There is like 20 feet distance between me and them. I've talked to the husband of the family before and he seems decent I don't know them too well. They have a son and daughter. I've never had an issue with them up until a year ago. They aren't bad people. There are two windows in my kitchen and they have sliding glass doors with curtains that are lined up with my window. It started last year everytime I would get home and enter my kitchen someone would slam the curtains shut real quick (violently). They stopped doing it a couple months ago. Now when ever I'm in my kitchen by the sink doing dishes the wife will take the bathroom curtain down on the bathroom window and go to the bathroom. When I saw this I would leave the kitchen because I didn't want her to think I was looking but this happens every night without fail. Whenever I go out to the kitchen and turn the light on she takes the curtain down and goes to the bathroom its disgusting. They let their dog out which barks loud around 5am. Whenever I'm outside at night with my dog trying to get it to go to the bathroom someone flashes a light from their kitchen window at me. A few months back I was doing dishes and I felt I was being watched I looked up and a young girl was staring at me from a window. I got creeped out. I told a family member and they saw the same thing. A few months ago I had a friend over and we were looking out my big picture window in my living room and all of a sudden this pickup truck with a young guy driving slows down to a stop looks up at my window and laughs then drives over to my neighbors house to drop someone off. My brother who is in law enforcement has experienced the same thing and said the only thing you can do is just ignore them. Im really leaning towards moving because of this. I feel like I'm being harassed by them. What would you do ?

build a fence or move

i dont and never have had a problem with my neighbors
most think i am insane any ways , cause of the people that lived here before, they think i am the same crowd

<shrug>

best wishes

Well, if I had a neighbor who lived that close, I'd probably close my curtains or blinds if I knew they were home. I'm a private person but I also happen to enjoy light coming through my windows, so I don't like my curtains closed during the day.

aye but by the sounds of it , they would just pop up over the fence
or pull back the plants

my X inlaws Uncle had a problem with property lines , so he made sure that the naibor said it was his property and planted bamboo

it now takes up 2 acre on the 3 and half acre here lol

careful with bamboo

I'm also a private person. A little too much probably but that's just how I am. I do have curtains up they will cover the bottom half and the top half has a little curtain. you can still see through most of the top half especially with my height. My dad has quite a few vehicles and I stopped driving some of them because I kept on encountering quite a few bad drivers. I didn't tell many people because it sounded crazy until my brother borrowed my dads car for a couple nights and both nights two different vehicles tried to run him off the road. At this point I'm just going to move. Last month in the same week I had two different cars pull in my driveway and sit there then they would beep, I was able to confront the one who laughed and said sorry wrong driveway. 4-5 months ago I had a car park by my house in the street they beeped dozens of times until me and a relative went to the big window and looked out and it looked like a bunch of young teens in the car. It was night and they had their windows down. They drove off after we were looking for a minute.

lol

I'm good at the moment. Hope my neighbors are good with me.

Creepy isn't strong enough. There are good genuine people here, not everyone is bad. I think many people are just bored, busybodies etc. I don't really feel bad anymore. I pity bullies lol

Perhaps you need to bake them a laxative cake

haha ️ good one

Privacy fences are awesome in my book...

I'm not one that opens my windows so all have blinds on them.. once inside I could careless what the outside world is doing....

Only my enclosed front porch does not have blinds... so when I want to see what the world is doing I either sit on my front porch or go sit on my back patio back yard has privacy fence all the way around can't see my neighbors...

i ate a laxative cake once

didn't taste worth a chit

Privacy fencing is great unfortunately my area has height restrictions. At this point I'm just going to pack up. wish me luck.

Not sure why Your neighbor does that, maybe just to get on your last nerves.

There is some rental house next to me, and I never know who's going to be in there. Yr after yr for years now. I keep telling the maintenance man when I see him, tell that landlord to rent to decent people. He just smiles at me.

6 months ago a Woman her two grown children and a son 12 moved in.
The grown daughter has three small kids. I don't think the house is big enough for that many people but they are on section 8 welfare I believe.

They are foreign and police been over there for something, several times.
Hopefully they will be Out soon

This.has been a nice neighborhood, I may move.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. He appears to have slumlord traits. I understand that people fall on hard times but section 8 can bring a lot of trouble due to the quality of people like you exolained. I hope things get better for you.

I don't have problems with neighbors. I've lived here almost a year and went out to meet a neighbor and introduce myself. I'm not good at that.

good one, klc

Atleast you're trying to have a conversation with them etc. I'm not good at it either that's why I keep it "small talk". I don't mind opening up and having a conversation with a stranger because the upside is if I come off stupid or fail I never have to see that person again.

You are so right about what you said Here!

Thanks I hope things work out for you to move.

Legit - till you find the new place, suggest a wash clothes line with old curtains clipped on. Win-win.


Dog barking 5 am?
Obviously he's calling up your dog.

Had a neighbor (young and pretty) who locked in her dog for the weekend. Maybe she left food and water and TV on. One miserable weekend.
