\nEvery day, my elderly neighbor, Mrs. Madison, who’s pushing 80, would arrive and leave at the same time as me\u2014or so I thought. But then I noticed something strange: she never actually leaves her car. Curiosity got the best of me, so I walked over and saw her bundled up in a blanket, sleeping in the front seat. The back was packed with boxes of groceries. It didn’t make sense\u2014she had a big house, so why was she living out of her car? One freezing night, I couldn’t ignore it anymore…\n
Having good neighbors can turn an ordinary place into a welcoming community. However, some neighbors are simply meant not to be loved, because no matter how much we try to build a normal relationship with them for the sake of living nearby, they are unfriendly and unwilling to be nice.\n
There are plenty of \u201ccrazy\u201d neighbor stories out there, and the ones below are with an unexpected twists.\n
\n
When a couple of young people moved in the building in which mainly families with little children and elderly people lived, the lives of the residents became a nightmare.\n
All of a sudden, the piece and quiet were ruined. Loud music that wouldn\u2019t stop until late in the night became disturbed the rhythm of everyday life.\n
The person sharing the story, a mom of a baby, explained that her child cried all the time, scared from the noise that was hard to ignore. Not only that, but the elderly lady living below them, Miss Jenkins, had a hard time sleeping.\n
They tried talking to the new neighbors but they wouldn\u2019t listen.\n
\n
After weeks of waiting patiently, they realized the situation wasn\u2019t going to improve.One day, the mom decided to confront the youngsters again because they were even louder than usual, but just as she went to their apartment, she heard them banging on the door and begging Miss Jenkins to let them out.\n
Confused, the mom went to Miss Jenkins\u2019 and asked her what was going on.\n
It turned out that the noisy neighbors tried to throw the keys to their apartment to a friend from the balcony, but the keys ended up in the bushes. When Miss Jenkins saw them, she was quick to take them. That night, she locked the neighbors and their friends inside their apartment from the outside.\n
It wasn\u2019t until the following day that she decided to let them out of their own place.
\nThis act, however, seemed to taught them a lesson as they never disturbed anyone with their loud music again.\n
When the Johnson family moved into a suburban neighborhood, the wife, Cindy, seemed to love the new way of life, but the same couldn\u2019t be said of her husband, John.\n
\n
It looked like John missed the big city, and he wasn\u2019t particularly friendly with his next door neighbor Sam, although their kids got along and played together almost every day.\n
One day, things escalated when Sam\u2019s dog dug some holes in the yard, which was a shared territory used by both families. John got angry and asked the dog not to be let to run around the yard, especially his part of it. Sam, however, asked for some understanding because the previous neighbors were extremely friendly and welcoming towards the dog.\n
The next day, John parked his car on Sam\u2019s part of the yard, preventing him to take his car out.\n
While their wives tried not to take sides and continued being friendly, John and Sam couldn\u2019t stand each other.
\nSam then came up with the idea of building a wall in the middle of the yard, something John was against.\n
One morning, Sam was awoken by the sound of a huge bulldozer demolishing the wall.\n
He started yelling at John, who claimed he had no idea what was going on.\n
It turned out that the bulldozer was sent by Mr. Cooper, a restaurant owner who claimed he had the rights to use the yard.\n
\n
Sam and John alerted the rest of the neighbors who surrounded the bulldozer, disabling the man operating it to work.\n
Panicked, Sam and John put aside their feud and joined the neighborhood to confront Cooper, successfully stopping his plans and forcing him out.\n
In the days to come, Sam built a playground at the place where the wall was, allowing his and John\u2019s son to be friends again.\n
When John saw the kids playing, he knew it was the time to bury the hatchet.\n
It wasn\u2019t long before one of Mrs. Madison\u2019s neighbors realized something was off with her.\n
One cold night, as he was walking home from work, the neighbor spotted the elderly lady sleeping in her car. It wasn\u2019t a sight he expected to see because he knew she owned a huge house. Concerned, he believed she somehow locked herself in and was unable to get out so he rushed towards her and knocked on the car\u2019s window, calling her name over and over again.\n
However, as he inspected the vehicle and noticed blankets and groceries inside, he realized Mrs. Madison was living inside her car.\n
\n
Not knowing what to do, the neighbor rushed home and told his wife about Mrs. Madison. Without hesitation, his wife told him they needed to help her. She was way too old and fragile to be sleeping in her car during the freezing night.\n
The neighbor returned to Mrs. Madison\u2019s car again and managed to wake her up. Seeing him, she felt embarrassed.\n
He welcomed her to his place, but she refused to go. However, upon insisting for a while, she agreed to get out of the car.
\nIt turned out that she was living in the car for many months, ever since her husband passed away. Being in the house she shared with him was too painful for her. The memories of her once happy and fulfilled life haunted her.\n
\n
That night, she slept at her neighbor\u2019s home and the following morning the two went to her house, which was dusty. Once inside, the neighbor noticed there was mold all over the place.\n
Samples of the mold were sent for testing and it was determined the house wasn\u2019t safe.\n
Sadly, it had to be burnt down.\n
Mrs. Madison was welcomed to stay with her neighbor and his wife for as long as she needed.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
