These are the (awful) people in your neighborhood thread

This went on for about two months before one night, in a fit of sleepless madness, I went out there brandishing a water gun and yelling.

I'm shocked. I guess this whole "nice young lady" thing is just an image that you don in public - your own Tom Waits persona.

I didn't think they allowed water guns in Canada?

I live on the edge, DFK.

I think TL should adopt Teddy The Drunk as a side project/alternate persona type thing, like Garth Brooks and Chris Gaines.

every once in awhile, having completely forgotten about the chris gaines thing, i am reminded of it and the accompanying saturday night live performance, and i just dissolve into laughter for a few minutes.

A friend of mine was woken up several days in a row by a guy in a Jeep who drove up to the apartment complex at 6AM with music blaring and left his car, music on, running in the parking lot for 15 minutes while he went inside.

My friend came out one morning, gently turned down the stereo, and kicked a foot-wide dent in the guy's side door.

I know, I know, Internet tough guy violence-to-property stories are done to death, but I like this one, and it's better than that ant-grasshopper story.

reminds me of something that happened to a college friend of mine. the guy in the dorm room next to his was always playing this super loud rap music and it was driving him crazy. so one day he went out in the hall and saw the guy's door open. he peeked his head in and didnt see anyone in there so he quickly went in and turned the stereo down. turns out the guy was in the bathroom and came out just as my friend was leaving and punched him in the back of the head and almost knocked him out.

this is why i just put ear plugs in and try to ignore it. i don't want to get murdered by some loud music playing psychopath

My foul-mouthed neighbor who has "PSYCHOTIC" and "187" tattooed across his belly. Yikes.

...that belly has seen better days.

It used to just say 'Psycho'.

Ditto and ditto. I dread the day that it ends up saying "ON AN UNDERCOVER NEIGHBOR"
