But you're right -- in all neighborhoods, there's a mix. Wherever there are people, you'll find people behaving like, uh, people. My wife and I figured out recently that our neighbors probably think *we* are the strange ones. :-) Hey wait a minute — I’m the guy who lives 5 houses down from you. :-) Just kidding.

Even the ones that drive me crazy make life interesting. With that said I could do without my next door neighbor. He is a paranoid, delusional, self professed nudest. No joke and I am not exaggerating. You just have to laugh and tell the kids "Avoid the strange man....He's not nice". True it takes all kinds. Even the ones that drive me crazy make life interesting.

A neighbor on the balcony below us used to have charcoal-grilling events that that started around 3-PM on a weekend day and there was a continual smell of smoky charcoal and blistering steaks and wieners that endured waaaaaay past midnight! I mean, I love a good char-broiled steak too but sheez! -Cook the damn thing and SHUT THE GRILL OFF! Stop throwing more char-briquettes onto the flames and every hour or so & having another hot dog or sausage! Cook them all and be done with it! The visible thick gray smoke wafting up over OUR balcony was so bad that we couldn’t use or enjoy OUR balcony (this in the summertime, from late July to the end of August this went on) and we had to keep the windows shut to keep the smoke out! It has been SO BAD sometimes that the smoke came up and entered our open-screened window and caused the SMOKE ALARM to start blarring!! Once I was napping in the bedroom with our child and I awoke to a bedroom that was filled with languid blue smoke curls! Just as I suddenly bolted upright from the bed (and began coughing violently) our smoke alarm in the hall started to ring!!

The neighbors on the floor below us had ‘accidentally’ set-fire to a forgotten steak on the grill, and were running drinking glasses of water from their kitchen sink to their balcony to snuff-out the flames, which were leaping up about one meter high!!!

And yet, these self-righteous self-appointed keepers of rental decorum whom have clearly not been in abidance with the RENTER’S AGREEMENT that they had to sign before moving in have the unmitigated gall to come up here to my door and yell at my wife because our (at the time) 3-year old son was ‘…making too much noise in the floor’ a rainy Saturday afternoon, and they ‘…could not take a nap!’ -And not just once… they ‘informed me’ once and I acknowledged the complaint and promised to try to prevent it’s continuance.. the following week, they came and yelled at my wife (BAD move folks, ’cause now I’m angry & invested…) and later that same day they returned for MORE arse and *I* answered the door… -I got to say some things-… Feelings were hurt I assure you! :-/

And there was no more complaints to us from them, and no more barbecues on their balcony from that day on! Grr!

I’m gonna hang a sign on my door that says:

WARNING: THE RESIDENT CRAZY HAS DETERMINED THESE PREMISES TO BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH IF YOU ARE HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT US OR ARE TRYING TO SOLICIT DOOR-TO-DOOR

(sorry to have hijacked your comments… your article hit a spot near & dear to my heart.)

Great article.
:-)

-Seriously. :-D
