There was a vacant bot behind our building so we decided to start parking in it rather than fight for parking on street. Our crazy neighbor started writing homemade parking tickets "from" the building name. When our friends came by they parked there too for their own mementos. We had a stack of about 20 by the time we left. They were frequently written on junk mail, shopping lists or other used pieces of paper. One day he printed some on the computer. That was fun.

Should have paid them with hand drawn checks and left them on his front door.

In my old apartment yard, there was a shared garden space.
I gardener there, alongside this looney lady who took it upon herself to take up composting... only, she was off hers meds that summer and didn't understand composting. She just threw her leftover dinners into the garden plot. (This was in N Arlington, by the way.)
She would stand by the apartment trash bin waiting for neighbors to bring out their trash and ASK THEM FOR IT for her garden. She would ask the parents of babies for the diapers. NO LIE!

I left my garden unattended after I heard about the diaper thing. I did not want to eat anything from that yard ever again.

They have begged us to allow them to pay to replace that part of the fence or to paint it. We have said no, and they finally built a new section of fence along ours to block their burning efforts.

What is it about fences? My passive-aggressive neighbors have piled up dirt and compost against the bottom of our fence and it has now started to have boards fall out because of the moisture. Such jack*ss*s.

We had a neighbor (A) that insisted their next door neighbor (B) because wife (A) didn't want her husband noticing wife (B). Crazy!

insisted their next door neighbor put up a fence, that is. PP here.

I was going through a divorce and moved into a condo. The day I moved in my neighbor (older lady) came down to introduce herself. She tried to fix me up with her son. It was very awkward.

We had neighbors once who always parked close behind our car on the street in front of our houses. This is in a suburb with plenty of space, so there was no need to park up so close to other cars. We did have small driveways, so most people parked one car in the driveway and one on the street, but there was plenty of room on the street.

One cold winter morning, they sent the teenager outside to turn on the car so it could warm up. The kid turned the key in the ignition, decided to rev the engine a bit, and the next thing we knew, we heard a loud boom! as the car crashed right in to the back of our parked car! Apparently, the parking brake was not working that great.

The rest of the time we lived there, they never parked their car so close to ours again. Well, after we got our car repaired, of course.

Sometime between 10 and 11 PM every Thursday, our upstairs neighbors would have sex, screaming and moaning the entire time. Everyone in the condo building could hear it, particularly from our balconies, so after awhile, it became such a joke that we'd text one another, "ooh, it's Thursday!", etc. When any of us would run into said couple outside, it was hard to keep a straight face.

I would have absolutely insisted they replace the fence, in court if necessary.

Ah...fence...I had an issue with one. The fence is on my property by about 6", according to the survey. My neighbor wanted a higher fence, so he bought PVC fencing segments, and attached it to the fence. It looked horrible. I tried to talk to him, but he insisted he was in the right, and he would not have to do that if my yard was nicer. Well, I called the fence police (code enforcement in the Town of Vienna), and he came out. My neighbor was surprised to find there are standards with fences, and he is not allowed to put a fence on my property. He found out that he had to post in the fence, not just tie it to my fence....

I gave him permission to post it in correctly, at the current fence line but the cost was too high to properly install it. So he took it down. My chain link fence continues to rust to this day. FWIW, my house is now a tear down, and we are probably moving this summer.

Years ago a lady knocked on our door, introduced herself as "the lady from around the corner with fourteen kids," and asked if she could have a beer.

I went to start my car one morning, and heard a loud bang. The whole car shook, there was a bright flash, and the engine caught fire. I jumped out, called 911, and stood there really shaken up as the whole car was engulfed in flames.

My neighbor looked out the window, saw what was happening, and came running out in nothing but his boxers. He ran toward me, and as he got closer I started thanking him and letting him know that I was alright. He didn't give me a second glance as he almost knocked me down to run to his car, which was parked beside mine, and move his car to the other side of the parking lot. He then ran back in the house without uttering a single word.

The fire truck was still pulling out of the complex when the community manager called to tell me that I had one hour to have the car removed from the property before they fined me for having a dilapidated vehicle on the premises.

Used to live in large apartment complex. We had the light bulb stolen by our front door. We also regularly had our Sunday paper stolen. It got to the point that we were having to get up at 5 am just to beat the thieves. Soooo, one Sunday morning we took out that days edition and replaced it with last weeks and placed it back in bag and put out on porch so it would get stolen. What the thieves did not know is that we had hidden cat shit inside the rolled up papers and there was no way to see it. Only took two more times for the thieves to get the message!

This is going to sound like a troll post, but I swear it's the truth.

When I was 17, my neighbors daughter moved back home with her parents. A few days later I saw her sitting on the porch on my way home from school. She stopped me and started asking how I'd been, and trying to catch up. It was a little odd, because she was about 27-28 years old, so it wasn't like we were old friends. She was incredibly beautiful though, so I didn't mind.

Mid-sentence, she asked me if I wanted to have sex. It was like something out of a porn movie. As much as my hormones were raging at that moment, something just seemed off about her. Before I could answer her question, she started taking all of her clothes off.

This was at 5pm on a Friday in DC on a street with nothing but rowhouses and a good amount of evening foot traffic. I immediately realized that she moved back home either due to drug use or some type of mental problem. I later found out that it was both. To this day, I have to say that the weirdest memory I'll probably ever have will be the day that an insanely beautiful woman chased me down the street completely naked while repeatedly shouting that she'd give me bus tokens and a pair of her boyfriend's jeans if I would have sex with her.
