These 17 Nasty Neighbors Make You Want to Move Out

I had neighbors that had 6 year old twins (a boy and a girl) that they had locked in a room for almost 4 years. The boy managed to escape this past February and was found wandering the streets with sh*t caked all over his body. The police were called and upon entering the house they found a padlocked door. In this room was a small bed and a toilet chair overflowing with human feces. The walls and floor were also covered.

I live next to a bitter old man, probably about 78 years old. When we let our dogs out, usually it’s just for a few minutes so they can do their business. But it was one of the first nice days we’d had in a while, so we let them be outside for a while. They both went to the front of our house to lay in the sun, although they’ve never gone off our property. I guess our neighbor was spraying his lawn with weed killer, because he walked over to where our dogs were laying and sprayed it in their faces. Their cries and whimpers were one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever heard; they sounded like they were in so much pain. My mom saw what was happening, stormed outside, and started screaming through tears at him. My mom is usually a very calm person, I’ve never heard her that upset. She took the dogs to the closest vet, and thankfully they’re both okay still.

I had a neighbor who had a drug induced mental break and decided to break into my house in the middle of the night. He was in serious tin foil hat territory. Told me the aliens that we’re beaming the movies into his brain said he had to come talk to me. Took me several attempts to get him off the proverbial ledge but eventually I had to get the cops involved. Downward spirals are terrifying to witness.
