Wacky Neighbors Who Make Life More Interesting

Neighbors are like family. You don’t get to pick them. Most people have at least one neighbor horror story that made their life harder. There’s the loud neighbor, the grouchy neighbor, and the nosy neighbor who is always trying to get in your business. 

This person adopted the neighborhood stray cat and their neighbor’s cat got her pregnant. Kittens were a little more than they signed up for when they took in the stray! Lucky for them, the neighbor is willing to help.

Sometimes it’s best to try to not understand your wacky neighbor but to just appreciate them for all their weird quirks. This couple takes their parrots out for walks every day! Is someone going to tell them that parrots do not need walks?

This little guy showed up at his neighbor’s door, requested a banana, and headed home. We’re not sure if he was in dire need of some potassium or just looking for a snack at the end of a long day. Either way, we respect his bravery (and his fashion sense).

Most people have to respect a clever sign. When your neighbor is dropping their cigarette butts all over your lawn, a funny sign is a good way to get them to stop without causing any animosity. Blame it on the cat! Judging by that picture of the cat, we do not doubt that he is stalking around in the night trying to find cigarette smokes to smoke. 

We’re sure people have seen some pretty crazy things through the windows of their neighbor’s homes, but this person got a sneak peek into their neighbor’s personal life that is just too bizarre to make any sense of. 

Neighbor feuds are not uncommon. It’s not easy to get along with everyone in your direct vicinity. One neighbor lets his grass grow too long or makes too much noise and then a battle begins. But these neighbors took their feud to a whole new level.

Feuding neighbors often get their start when one party doesn’t take care of their property in the eyes of the other neighbor. Bob was fed up with looking at his neighbor’s ugly fence and asked him to paint it (probably on more than one occasion).

Not everyone is looking to make friends in the neighborhood. Some people just want to be left alone. It seems there’s always at least one grumpy person in the neighborhood that stays to themselves and doesn’t care to make conversation at the mailbox. This is one way to ensure you won’t be invited to the next block party. 

We can only guess what would inspire someone to keep a giant Godzilla statue in their backyard. They might be huge fans of the films or they’re looking to scare off any thieves or burglars. 

Alarms, Ring doorbells, and cameras are all effective security measures that will give homeowners some peace of mind. But the real security is in this strategy right here. This neighbor keeps a life-size cardboard cutout of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in their front window.

The neighborhood kids always seem to be up to something. This person always finds balls and toys in his backyard that the neighbor’s kids accidentally throw into the backyard. This time they gave him a good prank.

It looks like Jonathan had an interesting birthday party theme. This person found his neighbor’s yard covered in small cows with a sign congratulating Jonathan on his 18th birthday. Maybe cows are his favorite animal?

In one of the most surprising and creative examples of neighborhood fun, we came across this person who made their balcony into a pirate ship. We have to assume this idea came from a person who was cooped up in their home for too long and needed something fun to do with their time.

Sometimes, one sign is just not enough. One person came across these notes left for maintenance on their neighbor’s door. If we had to guess, we’d say they’re worried about the maintenance guy letting their cat out.

The new neighbors threw a housewarming party. You’d expect the trash and recycle bins to be filled the following day but more so with bottles of wine and beer. What they found was much more interesting.

If you saw this bus outside your window, you might assume that your new neighbors were Scooby, Shaggy, and the rest of the gang. Whoever drives this van must be a huge fan of Scooby Doo.

You can tell a lot about a person based on the way they decorate their home. This, of course, includes the way they decorate their front yard. So what can we tell about these people with the aliens and a flying saucer in their yard?

Well, if you’re looking for one way to piss off this neighbor, you know how. We wonder how many people parked in front of their garage before they felt it was necessary to put this sign on the garage door.

Imagine moving into a new neighborhood and seeing this decor in the front yard. This is perhaps the last scene I could imagine in a garden, and yet, here we are! We’re not sure if this person is really into pink or animals, or just has a kooky style.

We can’t be sure what this neighbor has against dandelions but they sure don’t seem happy about them growing in their neighbor’s yard. Thankfully, the neighbor with the dandelions has the perfect solution.

This photo is a perfect example of “there are two kinds of people.” The neighbor on the left is enjoying a nice hot tub complete with jets and bubbles. It looks like the neighbor on the right didn’t want to miss out on the luxury of a spa.

This person looked through their window to find a new neighbor hanging out in the gutters of his neighbor’s house. We’re sure he’ll find this little guy sniffing around the trash cans for as long as he’s living there.

This guy has a neighbor who is kind enough to freeze one singular snowball each year and surprises him with a sneak attack year after year. This year, he has come prepared.

Imagine going on a stroll through the neighborhood to find this gentleman sitting on a bench, just minding his business. This looks like just the kind of neighbor we would all love to have.

We have to applaud the way that this group extended an olive branch to their neighbors to apologize for the noise in advance. Leaving a note is nice but adding a gift to the note is even nicer.

Oops, it looks like someone mistook their roof for their living room. How did he even get those chairs onto the roof, let alone himself? It looks like he had quite an eventful night judging by the lack of clothes and beer in hand.

In a long list of things you wouldn’t expect to find in your neighbor’s yard is a mile-long rope made completely of bottle caps. This person’s neighbor keeps this impressive, yet an odd collection of bottle caps in his front yard.

This is one of the more peculiar things this person has probably found on their front doorstep. Apparently, their neighbor has a turtle, but not just any turtle. This specific turtle happens to not be potty trained. Why else would he need to wear a diaper?

Look closely at the passenger seat. At first, it appears a person is sitting there, but in all actuality, it is a Jason mask attached to the seat head. I guess this person likes to keep people away because this is no way to make new friends.
