Nah. There are definitely weird people out there. Some families lean more autistic/on the spectrum. Some just have weird outlooks and habits. It doesn't make them interesting. It makes them weird. Just like "body positivity" people are still fat no matter how you try to spin it and say they're still beautiful.

That is me. We are the only house out of approximately 120 houses in our neighborhood who have American flag outside today.
? Is that a requirement?

I love her. Maintaining less and less lawn every year here.

Maybe we should start a post about horrible neighbors and start with you. I’m sure no one wants to live next door to you.
I'm the best neighbor because I keep my property immaculate, clean up after the dogs, make sure they don't do their business in houses with "no peeing" signs, never make noises, smile politely at the neighbors but don't waste their time with pointless conversation.
That may all be true, but you are a despicable person. Just a PSA: it’s not cool to call autistic people “weird.”

She did this by shoveling snow from her space into the next spaces, which had already been cleared. She stomped on the remaining snow in her space. It was 37 degrees and sunny. She was wearing a tank top, booty shorts and cowboy boots. She was 54 years old at the time.
Rage inducing hot flashes aren't fun. Before I was fifty I would never have understood this neighbor, but now I do. She was just working off some hot flash menopausal rage.

I think I found myself!
I'm trying to save the pollinators and bees and fireflies y'all killed with Mosquito Joe type services.
But yeah, I know I'm the weird neighbor and I like it. My parents made me do the whole "be sure you fit in" thing for a significant portion of my life and now I am free!
I still have a small loan, but majority of my front yard is Mediterranean style flowerbed with plants that attract a lot of bees. My lavender bushes are covered with bees.

It's the same person. His name varies depending on what city you live in. Silver Spring walking guy.

Well, there are three Aspie males, one of them my husband, and three of their Aspie sons, one of them mine.
But from my perspective, the weirdest person in the street is the very loud and talkative neighbor. She's catty and spreads rumors and is distinctly unintelligent (also a little racist, and made an assumption based on our race when we moved in). But to most people, I suppose she comes off as entirely normal and average.
In my family? I suppose the two posthumous winners are my two aunts who were staunch vaccine-deniers and then died of Covid.
What is a vaccine denier?

I don't know if the mom works or what the dad's job is, I don't know a thing about their kids and I never see them leaving the house. The husband is always home-does he not have a job? Yet, I see him leave his house early on occasion. I haven't seen the wife drive since our kids were toddlers and our kids are middle/high school age. They have lived in our neighborhood longer than I have yet I have no idea why they moved to our state from California. To top it off they never mow their lawn, so I often have to pick up the slack.
Occasionally they stop by my house unannounced with Key Lime whoopie pies, always the same dessert, they never change it.
They make small talk with my kids and ask where they go to school but I have never heard of them talk about their lives. I don't even know if they go on vacation, but they always have family visiting. I don't know anything about them and it's getting weird.
