Have been keeping a closer eye on the neighbors in question. Last two nights they had one light on upstairs and one on downstairs then both were out and only the downstairs one came back on. Also we've seen several deliveries made there. Sometimes they accept the packages at the door and sometimes while they are home they'll sit there on the porch for several hours and then they're gone. Situation with cars is also odd. Sometimes the man will park in front of the house pointing one way, then he switches it, pointing the other way. Not sure if it's some kind of signaling, but definitely unusual.

I've seen this behavior before. Do you ever notice that sometimes an older couple arrives at their door?

Not that we know of. There was a workman (some kind of contractor?) there 13-14 days ago. He went inside at least once.

Did he ever go back out?

Yes, on the same day. Not trying to be nosey, just observing. The gentleman went in through front door, but appeared to leave by side door. Right now, there are two boxes on their porch in the exact same size.

In my experience, if the guy carried a hammer it means one thing. But be diligent in your observations because if he's ever carrying a clipboard, you know what that means.

We have lots of weird neighbors in Chevy Chase.
One of the weirdest is a man in his 60’s who practically lives in his car despite having a beautiful home with his wife. He eats full meals on his car and listens to the radio day & night as late as 1-2am. In the mornings he puts his coffee & cereal bowl on the dashboard. It appears to be some severe OCD/ mental issue. I feel sorry for him.

Another neighbor does DIY renovation projects almost every day- has multiple illegal sheds, a loud water feature, several other structures that don’t make sense. He enclosed the house with a 6 foot fence which was welcomed since it’s all an eye soar but then he started to place a plastic mesh barrier on the outside of this fence *right* on the property line. When a neighbor questioned his choices, he told them they’re free to move. Lol I’m afraid orange plastic cones might be next.

Hardee har. It's a big funny joke. The man didn't carry anything, but he did go in one way and come out another. Also one of the boxes is still out there. They had lights on earlier, but not now. Side porch light is on. But front is not?

This doesn’t compete with most of the neighbors on this post, but we have a new neighbor as of 6 months ago. He’s divorced and is renting the small, shabby house on our block that’s always been rented by grad students. That part is not anything weird- the weird part is that he has 4 different cars, including a very fancy foreign sports car and 2 of the nice Teslas. He has a 1-car driveway and doesn’t street park. Every few days he uses a different car. And no, they don’t have temporary tags and he isn’t a car dealer. They all have the same college-themed license plate style which seems like a deliberate choice and not someone who is borrowing different cars from a sibling or something.

The part that is driving me nuts is that I can’t figure out where he keeps the other cars! And he never has more than 1 of his cars in the neighborhood. We don’t live in an area where people have extra driveway space or where monthly parking garages are a thing. I’m almost convinced that he is just snapping on decorative shells to the same chassis.

Maybe he rents driveway/garage spaces from others?!

I knew a family in a small townhouse type complex,
Their neighbor was a gay man who walked around naked at the house and didn’t have curtains. They were sometimes naked in the yard and the fence was not really high enough to give them proper privacy.

Anyways, the man complained that her children were making a noise.
She obviously wanted to complain too about their lack of indiscretion.

I am a landlord, one of our former tenants moved out and left the property half full of junk
He used to sleep with an axe under his bed

He left his bed and the axe behind

My neighborhood has a few houses where grown adults (over the age of 50) are living in their childhood home and their parents are deceased. ALL of them are weird in some way or another.

I bought a house in the summer when there were leaves on the trees and bushes. I didn’t see that the back yard adjacent to my back yard was a hoarded paradise. My view after the leaves had fallen was awful. They had a large deck that was covered 6 ft plus tall high with a stacks of stuff like old furniture, covered in tarps.

It was a multi generational household, including an old man. He was a bit of a neighborhood walker and trash picker. One day he came through the bushes into my back yard when l was out there with my 2 year old son, and gestured some kind of symbol on my son’s forehead. He didn’t speak English. It was a spooky experience.

My parents live next door to a very large house, like probably 7000 sf, built about 30 - 40 years ago that’s in terrible shape. There are tarps on the roof and plants growing up out of the gutters.

The ex wife lives in the top of the house, and the ex husband and the newer wife live in the bottom of the house.

We had a neighborhood queen. Her husband was willing to be head of HOA and she decided this made her royalty. She broke every rule she could and since nobody wanted the job of HOA head we looked the other way unless she came after us for something inane. She roamed about as though she had a crown on her head and she regularly told people off who were at least 20 years younger than she was for no particular reason. Pretty sure she was al acoholic or perhaps he was because their weekly recycling always had a bunch of wine bottles. She especially hated little boys and would yell at them for walking, riding a bike or running on PUBLIC property. Not her property, not HOA property, but public property. She was both nasty to younger people and tried to gossip with them. I pissed her off early be repeatedly saying "that's really none of my business" and defending the person.

Notify the Pentagon.

But they won't do anything about it without a clipboard report.

Agent here. I have sold a number of houses like that. Usually the dad dies first, and then it is generally a son who stays in the house and generally lives in the basement and doesn't work, except he is usually in some rock bank of similar men and they play for beer at weird places in the outer burbs. They take drive mom to church, to the "beauty parlor," and to the grocery store. When mom dies, the two or three high powered sisters (generally) arrive and I am hired to get rid of everything in the house, including the son living in the basement. They generally take their share of the money from the sale of the home and crash with friends. One recently bought a camper and is living in it at a camper park and actually got a job at the park. The kicker is that each and everyone of them ALWAYS has a girlfriend with a job and is seemingly normal.

Like did they move out and then take over the family home after the parents died, or do you mean they were there the whole time?
