View Full Version : Weird knock on the door last night
The owner of the house 2 doors down from mine came knocking on my door last night around 9 pm. He goes to church with the previous owners of my home. He wanted to give us the garage door opener.
Dude, couldn't that wait?

Won't be so funny when the neighbor is wearing a robe and wizard hat when he opens the door.

Weird is your neighbor..
1.) Give you a Nail on a string as a Christmas ornament and saying something about it symbolizing Christ.
2.) Sending their 5 year old daughter with pamphlets over asking if we are saved.
3.) Sitting out in his car for an hour several times a week listening to the radio.
4.) Giving you zucchini chocolate chip bread. (just thought it was an odd combo.. didn't taste too hot either)

He wanted to break in. The knock was a way to see if anyone was home. The "church-going man" routine is just a front.
Are you at work now? I hope you have insurance.

I always got a kick out of the guy who was home all day and at night would decide to turn on the lights to the car and mow his lawn. Never quite figured that one out.

What was so weird about the knock? Did he rap out Inagaddadavida or something?

OK, once during a heat wave I'm buying. As a routine I call insanity. Not to mention it's real nice to listen to during the nightime hours.

Points well taken.
My neighbor has a daughter my age......fun times growing up.

I have Pacman Jones' garage door opener, although he lovingly refers to her as "BITCH!"
Edit: I got nothing.

That's a good "Well, I guess the neighbor needs this garage door opener remote" time!

it's either that or he could have just opened your garage door and let the opener in the Garage. Which are you more comfortable with? HRM?!?!?!?!?

On the street, they refer to this as "Making It Raise".

Also beware of sharks claiming "Candygram."

Just like our one neighbour who likes to mow their lawn at 7am on the weekend.

I had a pairof Jehovah's Witnesses knock on my door at 9:30 p.m. once. By that time, I was in my "I'm ready for bed whenever" clothes, but not really ready for bed (i.e. I wasn't wearing a bra and I was wearing some shorts I wouldn't be caught dead in public in). They knockeed once and I ignored it, but then they knocked again, more urgently, so I answered the door and when they said what they were doing, I sent them on their way.
What a nuisance!

Did you look at her pictures in the injured leg thread?
Just kidding tk!

Of course. Now I have a fetish for festering wounds...
And this has nothing to do with my resemblence to Jackie Coogan!
I stop answering my door as soon as it gets dark. So don't try knocking after 6pm in the winter, beeyatch.
This is why I completely avoid interacting with my neighbors, as they are probably ungrateful assholes like you appear to be. The guy was simply being helpful and going out of his way to return something to you (at what is by most people's accounts a reasonable hour). And instead of being thankful, you're actually annoyed. People suck.
What did I do to you? :confused:
I'm in bed at 10, so 9 is not exactly a reasonable hour for me. To be more specific, it was about 15 minutes after 9. My wife in her night gown and I in my cap, err, shorts.
Had he did this, I don't know, during the day when I saw him outside...

I love how you describe what you were wearing in detail, as if it has something to do with the rest of the story, and then it just ends. I was at least expecting one of them to chastise you for not wearing a bra or something. Very disappointing. ;)

It's because girls can tell you four years ago what they were wearing on any random night.

He brought another garage door remote over yesterday afternoon.

Bras are bad, I can't look at the wife and tell whether it is hot or cold if she's wearing a bra.

Yes, in that the two he brought over were the original remotes for our garage door opener.
I had already reprogrammed the opener for a different remote, though.

oh my god, your neighbor must be an FOFCer!!! He saw this thread, realized how much the 9pm thing bothered you and decided to bring the second one over in the afternoon. :D

In that case, I should be happy he didn't ask me to join the FOFC-BBCF.

God, I hate asshole neighbors. I'm in bed at 2:30 in the morning usually. And this guy just came knocking on my door at about 1:45, and was all "you left your headlights on".

go knock on his door tonite and when he answers tell him your father wears his shoes in the pool
Next week I bet the guy brings over a battery for the first remote.
If I ever have a Meet an Ardent: Home edition, and he shows up. I may never return to FOFC.
