Some time ago I was doing a mission, during the dark of night, true story.

I killed all the rats and slowboated 60km to the next acceleration gate, takes ages in a T1 Battleship without AB or MWD.

So, while doing that I noticed there was a frigging fire on the roof of my neighbours house, and at least one person standing besides that fire, "I was like wtf?!" I thought it my duty to check if there really was a wild fire or if they just for some weird reason decided to have a grill party on their own friggin' roof, while doing so, I woke up half of my own house, stepped on my cats tail, managed to make myself a peanut butter jelly sandwich, somehow, somewhere found my old binocculars to check on that fire on my neighbours roof and return in time to see me arriving at that accel gate...

Turns out, they really had a grill party on their roof in the middle of the night. Shocked I was flabbergasted to say the least and just the tinyest bit jealous because... A MIDNIGHT BBQ PARTY ON THEIR ROOFAttention Hol-eee SHIAARTAttentionShockedBig smile

Did You do cool stuff like that? Or your neighbours?

EDIT: Needless to say that guy is now in my book of cool people. Lol

I used to live in a house where the neighbor would be on the roof while half inside a cardboard box. We could see his legs sticking out the back. He had a circular hole cut in the box and he'd take pictures of us while we were in our backyard. There were a lot of weird things going on in that neighborhood so this wasn't anything we wanted to do something about.

One evening a friend of ours (was drunk) saw him up there and kicked the fence. Our neighbor was livid and called the cops. We were only too happy to receive the PD and tell him the story of our neighbor and point to the cardboard box that was still up on the roof. Turns out the fellow was a respected music professor and the cops hoped we could just make our mutual peace, which we did.

Never saw him again on the roof..

Flabbergasted is quite an awesome word and it even sounds neat. Cool

I remember when a next door neighbor of mine woke me up in the middle of the night with yelling and thumping around. The sound of his door opening, more yelling at someone, then the door slamming shut.

The next day, he explained that the guy who lived in the other next door apartment to him, must have completely tweaked out on something. He was in bed himself and was awakened by noise from the bathroom, and discovered that neighbor in his bathroom, naked on the floor, using the toilet lid as a table, and was trying to cook really tiny pieces of hamburger meat one at a time with matches.

One just never knows what kind of stupid is going to go down.......

Yup. I'm never going to forget about that. I still say we need better mental healthcare (what's there is practically non-existent). Too many people like this are just operating until they cause damage/accidentally kill someone.

The dude had only been living there for about 3 months and seemed like a nice, well-mannered guy. Apartment full of really valuable antique furniture and stuff. After this incident happened, the building manager went over there to check things out, and almost all that furniture and belongings were gone with the unit in deplorable condition. All that furniture went into the obligatory "glass pipe".

It can get to this level rather fast.

Also, we had a neighbour that worked as a rocket technician/scientist for Siemens (had a big compound right outside our small village) and the guy used to build tiny little rockets and jets for his children to play with, and the crazy thing is, according to my parents, those things actually worked. Those weren't just models but actual little rockets designed to be used indoors (well according to him at least, his wive didn't think that since they also used to constantly crash into lots and lots of breakable stuff)... Shocked

Must've been awesome. Big smile

Sadly I was too young to remember that so I only know hat one from my parents. Sad

Just saw an ad on TV for a local station's daily hosted morning talk show.

What drew my eye to the screen was the sound of "O Come All Ye Faithful", and about 8 Santa's onscreen.

"This morning we are going to have fun with some early holiday gift-giving ideas, and Santa's helpers are here to assist."



It's the middle of May.


This is the earliest and most egregious christmas nonsense I've seen in my entire life...............

Lol, that's actually hilarious. ^_^

But 8 Santa's... Straight

How can they even do that? I'm an atheist and even I know there's only one Saint Nicolaus and his chained pagan servant Krampus...
