The Half-Nekkid Neighborhood Snoop and Other Characters

After college, one of my neighbors was fond of treating my housemates and my daily routines a lot like a long-running TV program...
Non-stop entertainment and completely free for the price of a well-placed lawn chair and cold beer... So, bargain! 
You can read about our Friendly Neighborhood Semi-stalker here:

So, I was wondering-- do you folks have any particular characters in your neighborhood that are infamous among the locals, like our friend "Old Fat Naked Guy"?
Or are YOU the local eccentric?
Just thought it might be a bit of mid-week fun.

My neighbor is into a weird kind of yoga. But i think she says that just to mask her grass fetish. She lies there on the grass and gets orgasm after orgasm without even touching herself.-
I'm sure she's the sensation of the neighborhood with that one.
Heh, I keep picturing someone's elderly mother coming to visit and getting ushered rapidly into the house. -
neighbors actually complained about this to her but she said that she is imbibing positive energy from the natural surroundings and since she is clothed she doesnt see where the problem lies....
-
Oh throw a bucket of cold water on the grass humping lady! -
wouldnt help....fabric+water=see through!
-
Geez, if this is what the woman's like in the front yard, a national park will give her an aneurysm.
-
yeah...she would get fits...of pleasure maybe...
-
I'm sure you would get high ratings on YouTube for a video. You could use it to drive traffic to your site. Although, I'm not sure you would want the kind of visitors it would send.

He is the pervert or are you the exhibitionist?
I think I am the local eccentric, especially when I am jet-washing the driveway in my lab coat and bare feet.-
Probably a bit of both, albeit unintentionally. Though, honestly, no one but the house next door could have seen through the windows.
I haven't watched me doing aerobics, but I'm sure it's hysterical. I am as uncoordinated as a spider on rollerskates.
Um... what's the deal with the labcoat? -
I could probably beat you in the uncoordinated stakes, by a long way.
In my previous life as a scientist, I had many a labcoat, but they now are used for more interesting things like halloween and jet-washing. -
Ah. I was thinking you were just jetwashing in between putting together your latest reanimated monster or something.
-
Well.... I could be jet-washing away the remnants of experiments gone wrong or weeds.
-
"jet-washing the driveway in my lab coat and bare feet"
you may have started a new fetish right there... -
Or a runway modeling couture idea.
Hey, ya never know. There was a Snuggie fashion show... -
I would love to go to a lab-coat fashion show! jajajajajaja
A girl in my building has a very bright fucsia pink one that is awesome! -
Who knew there was such a market?
-

I loved your post! I don't have a 'half nekkid in another language talking' stalker in my neighborhood. My dad is quite known for giving a helping hand with garden supplies and the occasional coffee breaks haha.
Oh I forgot to mention that I do have terrorizing ducks, instead of humans, who stare at you when you pass them by!-
hah i eat ducks like those for supper! *stares down at ducks*
-
Oh I saw one walking away!
Perhaps you can already show them your fork and knife...and say "It's supper time!!" -
im thinking of the various different dishes one can make with ducks...you have any arrogant vines in your yard?would love them to decorate my dinner table!
-
Maybe carry a jar of l'orange sauce with you. That'll show 'em you mean business.
-
I just checked and we have some mean tomatoes and some weird looking roses. Add the l'orange sauce of TSR and you're good to go!
Oh I can check at the neighbors for arrogant vines?

Another quality post Miss Thriftenmeyer! Love the "Dawn! It crept over the Pittsburgh horizon like a wise and careful mouse" bit, quality.
As for local eccentrics, there is a guy lives near me who must be in his late forties and spends his days walking the streets, picking up litter and mumbling to himself. He is known as "The womble" after an old BBC kids program about creatures that kept Wimbledon common tidy.-
picking up litter and putting it in the bin/for recycling or just picking up litter?
-
@Anin- We have something like your Womble fellow here on the street by work...
I SUSPECT the man is fetching these cans and and bottles, etc., he picks up for recycling-- and perhaps to cash in on it. But it's hard to say that it isn't just a compulsion.
Glad you enjoyed the post. -
@Runningshoes
No he doesn't recycle it or anything. He isn't some kind of idealistic eco-warrior he is just insane. I think he takes it all home and hoards it like some kind of filth miser.

I like the illustration of 'the old naked fat guy' but seriously...no pics!
Speaking of eccentrics...I think some of the people in this public library (where I unfortunately have to blog from [home computer broke down]) are eccentric. For example, some people sing aloud to themselves as they listen/watch music videos on the computer...very annoying. Does that count?-
I'd say it counts, yes. Of course, I also find myself humming along with the overhead music in the grocery store, so I may be one of those people myself.
"She Blinded Me With Science" once came on and it was all I could do to resist shouting:
"SCIENCE!"
PS- Old Fat Naked Guy was before I had a digital camera. Sorry to disappoint. -
LOL! Oh well.
-
-
That was hilarious! I really enjoyed it and I left you a comment. I'm sure your stalker/peeper is still sitting on his front step spying on the new girl who took your place.-
If he's still alive and kicking, he probably is.
Amusingly, in the three years I lived there, I never saw his wife, though I could hear her voice in there.
Guess there wasn't room on the porch for two.
Thanks for checking it out.

My grandparents were quite the characters in my neighborhood, especially my grandpa. He has a nickname for every child in the neighborhood, from my oldest brother to my 8-month old Godson. Once he selects your nickname you are stuck with it forever given that other people start calling you that too. He is very grumpy and use to yell a lot at the children running in and out of his store or worse, hiding there while playing hide and seek, he would tell were you where! jajajajaja
-
So Deray... you KNOW I have to ask...
What was your nickname? -
Teresa Tusa! jajajaja There was a lady on my grandpa's hometown that used to use a lot of necklaces and bracelets, her name was Teresa and her nickname from my grandpa was Tusa (mole, like the animal) I used to do that too, always had 2-3 necklaces and bracelets when I was little so, I reminded him of her
-
Wow, he went for the obscure nicknames, didn't he?
-
-
I think everyone in my neighborhood is eccentric...-
What about you-- the dude in the suit walking around with the devil horns?

In my NYC neighborhood, we have a female Collyer brother who I suspect may outdo those brothers before she's done. She lives in a crumbling (as in chunks missing) old brownstone with both entry doors and front steps heavily barricaded. A frail old women in a baseball cap, lint splattered sweatshirt, pants & dirty red rubber boots (her outfit in all seasons), she's always sweeping & hosing & rearranging her fantastic collection of junk. Piles of glass windows, wood, bricks, rocks, dying plants, screens, gates, buckets, hunks of walls, etc. are jammed in her tiny courtyard. How she drags that heavy stuff in there I can't imagine. Every time I pass I wonder what her story is...-
Sounds like she might be a hoarder, but instead of cats, she's got salvage. I wonder in NYC the zoning folks wouldn't be having a talk with her.
When I was a kid we had someone called The Doll Lady, this elderly lady who always wore black and had dolls strung en masse to her front door, on pikes in her yard, etc.
It was bizarre and creepy and no one knew why she did it.

I'm the eccentric one in our condo association.
I'm older married to a much younger man - and I go out and knock on doors and make people have BBQs on the weekends and play badminton - EVEN in the snow...
But the neighbors love us.-
You Alaskans sure do know how to whoop it up. Badminton in the SNOW?
-
-
I once had a family with 4 kids for a neighbor.. it was all day pandemonium-
I can imagine. A bit like living next door to Octomom will be. Perpetual chaos.

TSR: The Collyer Lady's house & junk courtyard are behind an iron gate on private property, so don't think law can touch her. Whereas if you put the tiniest object in the street outside your building on non pick-up garbage days, the building owner is slapped with a summons.
That doll lady sounds interesting. Now there's a story to wonder about.
When I lived in the Village, we had a flasher who lived across the street, but don't think that qualifies as an eccentric. Will save that for forum discussion on perverts.
