Neighbors are only good for three things: occasional company, dog sitting, and gossip. Otherwise, they can be annoying, disruptive, and an all-around nuisance. However, gossip is a human need, and neighbors can provide the perfect window (sometimes literally) into other people's lives. The reality of the matter is we are all generally interested in what other people do in the privacy of their homes. If anything, it can make us feel less weird in our own choices.
The dark side to the curiosity we have for our neighbors is that our eavesdropping can lead to seeing or hearing about particularly bizarre quirks and eccentricities that we wish we could unsee or not hear. We compiled some top cringe neighbor stories based on this r/AskReddit thread. Some of these bizarre neighbors include a family that showered outside during a rainstorm, a fully grown man who sits in his driveway pretending to drive, and a couple that though burning gasoline on top of their snow-covered lawn would be a smart shortcut to shoveling the snow by hand. People are crazy, y'all. Thankfully, these aren't our neighbors, so this extra level of removal makes these stories all the more entertaining because we don't have to deal with these people in any way, shape, or form.
