What Would You Do? (Obnoxious/Weird Neighbor Situation)

[Panthro]

The only thing you can do with crazy....out crazy it. Make him think you are weird

[Inimicus]

Had a not dissimilar situation.

 

Our neighbor didn't invite himself to things but it was like he was lying in wait for us to come out of the house so he could strike up a conversation or invite us to something.  We couldn't go to the mailbox without him intercepting us in the driveway and outdoor chores were an exercise in futility to the point I had to hire someone to do my grass.

 

We started doing all of the things he would say he didn't like.  If he complained about kids in the neighborhood playing music too loud we slowly raised the volume in our car stereos.  The more he bitched about decorated yards (lights, inflatables, etc) the more we added and the more holidays we did it for.  I learned to talk about baseball because he didn't like it.  You get the picture.

 

It took a while but he slowly stopped coming out as much and within 6 months or so had become one of those folks you waved at and wouldn't have a problem ringing their bell if you were locked out but never really talked to.  In other words, a good neighbor.

Start inviting him to do manual labor around your house.  Work him to DEATH.   Eventually he'll stop being around to "help" lol.  It's odd he admits he watches, but that also makes me think he's just weird and not dangerous.  The real wierdos don't admit or let on, and appear normal, until it's too late.   Sounds like a lonely dude.

There has to be someone else in the neighborhood who annoys the crap out of you. Make friends with them and then let psycho boy tag along and introduce him to your "new friend". Be clear to point out how much those two have in common with each other and if all goes well, he will start stalking him instead. If that doesn't work, I'd contact the police department and see if they have any record of mental illness with him or suspicious activity. If you can establish a pattern of behavior through law enforcement, it may give you leverage down the road in case there is some type of altercation.

To answer Biscuit:

Going to the commander wouldn't really give any results unless he's just living really nasty. Even then, most commanders will give him every chance in the world to clean up his act before taking action.

Not to mention there are tons of regulations about inspecting a privately owned residence with family members that would have to be addressed before anything could even start.

It would take much more than an annoyed neighbor to get that ball rolling.

-and that is if he is on active duty. if he is in the guard or a reservist, a commander is pretty powerless in that situation.

Does he rent or own the property? If he rents, talk to the property manager. If he owns it... well, good luck.

Do you have the ability to turn off you passanger side airbag?

...and does he need a ride somewhere?!

I can only teach you to fish.

U should invite him over and tell him he's good looking and have a nice body and ask him if he'd like to join gay orgys with u on weekends.

He won't bother u again.

[pilot2011]

anonymous letter in his mail box explaining that the entire neighborhood got together and unanimously agreed that his creepiness is too much... maybe he'll move

Buy a bottle of liquor and drink it with him. Then when you're both good and wasted, go into a drunken tirade that starts as a slow methodical explanation of what the problem is and crescendos into a a full blow screaming word-slurring verbal assault. 

 

Then the next day you can just pass off the overreaction as being wasted like:

 

"I'm sorry about going off on you bro, I was stupid drunk, I can't believe we drank that whole bottle.......but seriously, I'll fuging cut you, stay away from my family"

[Hawk]

grow a set and just walk over there and tell him to fug off.
