I'd continue to keep an eye on him.

Wonder if he goes in the house and tells his wife about the odd woman peering out the windows so early in the morning? LOL

She sounds like a NOSEY Mrs. Kravitz.

Some of us, one of us, like seeing odd behavior because it allows for speculation. It adds something to the day or night, a little mystery.

Dear Shorty2U,

Most of us have considered your situation and have offered up our best advice. Obviously this was troubling or you wouldn't have written about it. You and some of us were insulted for our opinions. It never hurts to be cautious or follow your instincts.

I always wonder about the posters that stick up for strange/troubling behavior. Perhaps they have been called out for past actions and are now overly defensive.

May you be safe in your home, outside your home and wherever you go.

God's blessings,
Cathy

"Strange/troubling behavior" is in the eye of the beholder. Many of us don't see anything strange or troubling about this at all. You don't need to wonder about those of us who feel that way. We just have an opinion that differs from yours.

I think it's very odd. You are right to be concerned. Please ignore those saying it's nosey to look out your own windows. That's ridiculous. You are smart to observe what's going on around you.

LOL, well now I will confess. My husband does sit outside in the dark. Either in the back yard on a chair, in the garage on a chair, or on the front steps. It depends on how cold it is. We live in Wyoming, so it gets pretty cold here. I just asked him why, and he said "Oh I don't know, sometimes I look at the stars and look for satellights." He's laughing about this thread, even tho we are in the middle of a 2 acre lot he's sure the neighbors have seen him out there.

ETA: That's where he drinks his coffee, usually at 5 in the morning.

It is easy to say "get a hobby or myob" but this is strange to say the least. Most of us post because we would like another person's honest opinion about a concern. These comments aren't meant to help.

At my stage in life I would go over (love the cookie or cake suggestion) and introduce myself and address the issue respectfully. There probably will be a logical explaination. Maybe you and your husband could go together.

We have moved many times with the military and have had a few really wierd and a couple of dangerous neighbors. It would be good for you to get an answer if you could and then you might sleep a little better. I have sleep problems so I know how troubling that is.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Oh, and what issue would that be?? That he is sitting in his own yard quietly. Disturbing no one. Not harming anyone. Seems many of you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Leave the man be. He has done nothing to warrant any intervention by his window peeking neighbor. Geeze Louise, people with nothing else to do with their time imagine the most rediculous things.

Considering all the mental illness and deranged behavior making the nightly news, this individual could well be in that group. There is plenty of news out there every single day of some oddly-behaving person going off the deep end and doing something that harms others.

No one here is apparently saying the fellow has yet done anything wrong. No one is suggesting that someone disturb his "quiet time".

I suggested a friendly hello once in a while, just to let him know you know he's there. And I'd keep an eye on him.

I lived a few houses away from the strangest couple you could ever hope to meet. They pestered us for years after moving to the neighborhood. The husband was especially strange, and both of them loved expressing various types of anger, emotional drama. helplessness, and stress. He absolutely hated children, which was also a worry.

Both of them rang our doorbell constantly, wanting help from my DH, or from me for one thing or another.

Then one day, I couldn't even enter my street to meet my kids coming home from school. (The school buses weren't allowed in, either)

Police and the SWAT team were all over the place. The husband had finally gone off the deep end, threatened his wife with a gun, wrote nasty messages on mirrors with her lipstick, threw a chair at her, and barricaded himself in the house for hours.

We weren't allowed back into our neighborhood until very late that night, after he had been sent to the psych ward (from which he called me once---egads!)

He and his wife got back together and within a year, he had gone over to another house that he owned before their marrage and committed suicide there by shooting himself in the head.

So............odd behavior needs to be kept under observation, whether it makes one appear nosy or not. It can be a matter of self-preservation.

occasionalrain · ‎03-10-2010

Well then, going to this man's house in quest of an explanation is odd behavior according to novamc. He has a right to be left in peace in his own yard. He owes no one an explanation.

My unasked advice, before you engage a new neighbor consider that maybe you will encourage them to be at your door too often, be a borrower/non returner, show up anytime they see you outside, ask where you're going what your doing,...
