My next door neighbours are completely insane

[TrogL]

Actually they're two doors down.

I've been working away at felling a huge, dead birch tree. Every time I've been out there one of them leans out the door every few minutes and sings the Lumberjack Song (Monty Python). Then a few minutes later he's yelling homophobic slurs (he knows I'm gay). The wierd part is he likes me. Then he bellows encouragement. Then the girl comes out and yells at me in Spanish(?). Then she comes over to try and bum a smoke (she knows I don't smoke). Today she offered to trade a beer for a cigarette. Then they're pounding on the piano (nobody can actually play - they just pound). Then they turn their stereo on and play hip-hop for 15 minutes. If they see a pretty girl walk down the street, they turn of the stereo and yell at her. Then they start screaming at each other. Then they're laughing and laughing and laughing. Then they're screaming out the door again.

This goes on all day, every day - laughing, fighting, screaming out the door.

What is WITH these people?

1. Sounds like fun to me

Except for that homophobia thing. I wish I had neighbors like that. It would certainly liven up the neighborhood.

4. No pretty woman is safe

Typical thing yelled at woman passing by across street:

"Hey chicky chicky chicky chiquita if you think you're so cute how come you no wanna come over talk to me passin' by on the street like tha' you know you wanna just c'mon over chicky chicky chiquita you so nice, you so nice, you sure you no wanna come over..." on and on for about 30 seconds.

6. Well go over there and give them a piece of your mind

Tell them you don't appreciate all the noise and the next time you are going to call the cops. If there is any illegal activity going on that should shut them up real quick.

7. LOL! This happened to me when I was a teen on vacation

in Mexico. I just wanted to vaporize. Culchur clash. :)

5. I wouldn't. I couldn't take it.

People who are highly sensitive can't take that kind of thing going on non-stop.

Occasionally would be fine. :)

2. Substance abuse? They sound fairly harmless, though

3. Well they keep the neighborhood interesting

I'll make you a trade - I have a neighbor who acts like a nice old man but he poisons dogs with anti freeze (killed 2 of mine in addition to others). Maybe you should start singing the lumberjack song when you ae working on your tree and see if they join in!

8. I think you should just shoot them.

Works like a charm.

9. Where's my beer?

I was out working on the trees and nary a peep out of them.

Guess I needed to be wearing the Speedos instead of a parka.
