My neighbor is a bit on the strange side. When me and my boyfriend first came to live here we occasionally heard him yelling on the balcony, nothing in particular and to no one in particular. He seems to like me, probably since I'm always friendly saying hi and ask how he's doing.

Anyhow, one day he rang our doorbell and handed us some food for our cats (he himself has no cats, but he feeds that cats that roam around the neighborhood). We said thank you and thought nothing of it.

Months went by and he now and then brought us something for the cats, we figured he just really liked cats. Until one day he brought kinky ladies lingerie :/ He's a very difficult man to refuse gifts from or return them, so I left it in his mailbox with a note that we didn't appreciate it.

Now suddenly he starts bringing me food XD He just brought two plates and some for the freezer as well. He went on about what he was going to eat tomorrow and the day after and what he puts inside and how he was going to bring it over. I tried telling him that we do buy and make food, but.... I doubt he got the hint.

Are all neighbors this weird or is mine just... exceptionally weird? Tell me your weird neighbor stories :D

Eww... he bought you lingerie? That's weird! Glad we don't have those kind of neighbors xD

Maybe he wants someone to care for :P Except for the lingerie..

Well... the kind of lingerie that really is too much even for porno c: the kind where nothing is really covered. I was really upset by that and haven't been as friendly after that, so maybe it's just his way of making up for it?

I thought of that too and thought it was really sweet, but the lingerie made me doubt that.

I have no weird gifts from neighbours, they mostly give us newspaper and vegetables for our rabbit. The only annoying thing with our neightbours is that a particular neighbour insists on launching fireworks at fudgin' midnight.

Personally, I would've given the lingerie back right there and then.

That is actually quite creepy. =| I personally wouldn't eat the food, but I'm a little paranoid like that. :x It sounds to me like he has something off mentally.

I grew up with a violent alcoholic next door, a band of psychos two houses down, a guy behind us that was trying to get me to let my dog loose in his yard for reasons unknown, etc so I've had 'interesting' neighbors myself.

I agree with I'm a bit paranoid so I wouldn't touch that food! It seems like he's taken a liking to you by the sudden onset of gifts and weird lingerie... I think I would stop accepting his gifts as it's only encouraging him :c perhaps he is just trying to be nice/friendly, but there's the off chance that he might have other not-so-great intentions.

Oh the food for the rabbit sounds like a sweet gesture :) How often does your neighbor launch fireworks?

I would have given the lingerie back if I had know what it was when he handed it over. He put it in a bag and at the same time handed over some cat food... I kinda figured that whatever was in the bag was also meant for the cat, big surprise there :c

I have the same thing! When I got the plates I couldn't help but wonder what he put inside :/ I wish I knew how to refuse the gifts, but he ignores my 'no thank you's or gets a bit... aggressive. Sort of wondering what his motive behind it is.

, your neighbors sound pretty interesting, I can only imagine the encounters you had with them. Why... would someone want your dog loose in his garden?!

Hmmm, true that an outright "no" is a little confrontational. I guess for now just keep accepting the plates (although I still wouldn't eat them!) and just toss the contents into the trash unless they seem like they're okay. But hopefully he stops bugging you after a while! I don't think I could ever trust a stranger who sent me kinky lingerie, lol :c

Luckily the violent alcoholic moved away, as did the psychos (who I think were criminals). Actually, the weirdo who wanted my dog to run around his yard moved away too. :P Honestly, I don't know what his deal was. I was out in the backyard one day (having never spoken to him before), and he suddenly came up to the fence and was like "That's a pretty pooch you have. You should let her come into my yard." But he said it in a creepy manner. I was like 'lol no'.

That is what I intend to do, not eat whatever he gives me. If he tries to bring me more food tomorrow I can always tell him we haven't finished what he brought today, that might work. Refusing gifts is always a bit awkward :3 The lingerie really creeped me out, haven't looked him right into the eye ever since c: who in their right mind gives lingerie to neighbors!?!

That's quite convenient, they all moved away :D Criminals as neighbors can be quite dangerous (been there myself, my boyfriend had a drugsdealer as his neighbor several years ago :/) sounds like you're better off now. And I can not imagine that sentence being anything but creepy xD like he took some special interest in your dog.

that's just a bit creepy. His aggressive behaviour when you try to turn things down is also a big red flag to me.

My two next door neighbours are kinda lol, one gossips too much, always wanting to know what happens in our house and such, and the other one doesn't talk much and owns a gun (which is totally understandable since part of his house isn't protected and let's say that insecurity here is outrageous)

Your's kinda creepy XD but.... I would appreciate the food, I love food hehehe

Yeah most of our neighbour own rabbits and one of them often gave us rabbit things because he knew we couldn't buy his newspapers and food very often. He then gave us the rest of his rabbit's food because it died of old age.:C

Oh my, then again, he probably realised how strange he'd look carrying lingerie around.

The aggressiveness is mostly him raising his voice and insisting I should just take it. I never tried a flat out 'no' because I'm unsure on how he'd react c: perhaps it'd be better though, he'd at least know.

Oh I definitely would be afraid of the gun, but I don't like weapons in general x'D the gossiping might get annoying if they'd stick their nose into stuff that's none of their business. Are they obtrusive or not that bad?

Ah that sounds like a sweet gesture ^.^ they don't sound too bad.

-.-' gosh, I can totally picture him walking 'round the street with the lingerie in his hands. The other neighbors already do not like him all that much, that would get him in trouble for sure.

On the bright side, he hasn't stopped by to hand me more food and thus it saves me from having to think of reasons not to accept his gifts. Still haven't eaten his other food, though my boyfriend said he'd be willing to taste (he'd rather than me!).

He sounds like a creeper lol.

^ You

Seriously, how creepy. Watch out, he'll poison that shit soon.

that's pretty much why it's worrisome by itself, just be careful.
