It would be wrong to be within 20 miles of it.

You know what currently gives me the creeps?

My creepy-tacky-rude neighbors.

I could go on and on but suffice it to say that the husband seems to be at the window watching me every time I re-fill the bird feeder or work on the plants in the courtyard or do anything to the beds along the side of the house. He's done this during the day and most recently at night when I've had to come out to the courtyard to bring lawn equipment in. What the hell?!? He's about 5 years younger than me and no, he is not attractive. Yes, there's a wife and three sons, who are rude and obnoxious in various ways. I can't stand them, and he in particular creeps me out to the max.

I guess there's nothing you can do as long as he doesn't approach you in any other way, but if you could show evidence of unusual attention toward you I think it might come in handy, just in case. Is there any way you can get videos or photos of him doing this?

Good idea. I'll bring my camera with me and fake taking a picture of him looking at me. Maybe he'll back off then.

OMG, I have one just like this... I really struggle with it too.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea to me, too. Kinda like standing up to a bully makes him back down. Only, I wouldn't want you to antagonize the wrong person.

My concern on second thought has to do with the fact that we don't know the men's mental states. It seems to me that someone who watches someone knowing that the person they're watching knows it is thinking that the person they're watching likes being watched by them. This is a different mentality than a peeping Tom, someone who wants to stay hidden. These individuals want you guys to know they're watching. I'm not sure how best to deal with them, other than to call the police and ask what to do and not to do. I wouldn't want you to make the wrong person mad at you.

Just ignore him. This is his game, to subtly make you aware that he's watching. It's your'e life; it's your'e backyard. If your'e not doing anything wrong he can go and get f****d. If he thinks your'e upset about it he'll keep doing it. Mark.

I certainly found something to add since I last spoke here. I was watching a movie that was directed by a man whose last name is Fulci, he directs horror movies, and he has this scene where giant tarantulas are eating a man alive while he's paralyzed after a fall off a library ladder.
Even knowing that tarantulas don't EAT people and only strike in defense (I learned it when we had a snake bite victim, her pet tarantula bit her when she stuck her hand in the cage to get her out), I was still so creeped out I had to look away from the screen more than 5 times. I have major arachnophobia too, which didn't help.
Everyone who was commenting on the movie was saying Fulci is a famous director of Italian horror movies. I have no idea if it's true but I usually don't even recognize good directing in a movie. I noticed it with him though. He's on a par with Wes Craven, the only movie director I liked before finding this Mr. Fulci

I'm sorry, but I'm in my Puritan stage. Just ask Solomon Kane over, he'd sought things ought. There's some good people and there's bad people, and some in between. I saw on You-Tube Stephen King saying that he never worked out 'evil'. This is my take on it: 1) some people have more DNA than others, for evil. 2) Upbringing. 3) Choice- if your'e strong mentally, and you can overcome the urges; you won't do it. In this age where religion seems to be going down the toilet, my Catholic mother always reminded me that I have to treat people the way I wanted to be treated. There's nothing wrong with a religious training.

2006, I was going back to the school that I was working at in out-back New South Wales-it was about 1 am after I visited my parents- and these three lights followed me for about 10 minutes on the right hand driver's side. This country is all wheat, cotton, and cows. These three lights followed me( no bullshit) even though the the road sometimes meandered, then they just went off like they were satisfied. I asked one of the Aboriginal guys that came from up there and he said something like, 'that's our ancestors checking up on you.' They're call them 'MIn-Min' lights here in Australia. I've heard that in other countries people get the same thing.

I have to have the curtains drawn almost all day and night down one side of the house because of this, it's horrible. Our fences out back are high and he's not hugely tall, but if I am in the backyard for any reason and he hears me out there or sees me from his porch, then he's tip-toeing at the fence so he can talk to me. It drives me crazy. It's worse in the front yard because that is where my vegetable garden is (I have dogs in the backyard) and no fences on the front of the property, so it's like open season if he sees me out there. :(
(I have been known to garden during full dark, just so I can do it without being hassled. :O_O: )

I can sell you my used telescope. It's good. If you really need it you can hit him over the head with it. I wouldn't really worry about the guy. I'm trained. If you got any problem; you talk to me. Mark.

I think your'e having us on. Are you sure it's not Stephen King pie-hawking?
