As long as he isn't bothering anyone or doing this behavior on your property, mind your own buisness.... or better yet, build a fence tall enough so that you can keep your nose and eyes and your medical assessment out of his buisness.

Sounds like severe obsessive-compulsive behavior. What a shame.

Maybe you could send him over to my neighborhood. Across the street from me, my neighbor is the exact opposite. I call him "Pig Pen" after the kid in the Peanuts column.

This guy has a wife and two kids. His wife works and he stays home to watch the kids. He's never mowed his lawn. His backyard fence is rotted and laying all around on the ground. The backyard is filled with old broken furniture--upside down with grass growing through it.

He is most comfortable with trash on his porch, front yard, and driveway. His wife just steps over the trash on her way from the car to the front door

It sounds like he might be "home all day" on disability, from something that makes him unable to work, like severe OCD. I doubt that he's rich as it doesn't sound like activities that a man would choose to occupy his day with.

Does he spend a lot of time on the lawn as well, or since you mentioned it's a complex, is someone else in charge of the lawn?

I was actually thinking the same thing. Vacuuming cement is not really normal behavior but to do it daily along with washing it seems to indicate some sort of OCD type of illness which can be very debilitating.

I agree 100% that your neighbor sounds like he has a mental disorder. He's probably on Disability and is seeing a Doctor on a regular basis. There are a lot of people out there like this, they are not dangerous and have the acuity of being able to take care of their problem with medications, therapy and doctor's appointments. The OCD behaviors you are witnessing seem typical. I wouldn't worry and I wouldn't watch him.....

Omg Fortune, that's awful. I'm so thankful we've never had a neighbor like that.

I agree that this behavior sounds odd, but Geez-there's lots worse neighbors than that!

I wonder what he would do if someone's dog used his driveway for a bathroom stop? That might be funny!

Count your lucky stars. I'd rather have him then a bunch with mean a*s kids that the mother lets run wild and noisy and looking thru your windows, stealing from you, etc. Loud playing music, revving car engines all night, so forth and so on. Or people fighting and beating each other up, cops have to be called. Barking hound dogs.......

Count them lucky stars !

So true. I'm not saying he's a bad neighbor, just thought his behavior was strange.

I don't sit and watch him, but when I walk in my neighborhood, he's out there cleaning. I wish he'd clean the yards of neighbors who are messy and don't care.

How long does he spend "cleaning" the driveway?

I start my walk around 5:15 am., and he's out there when I leave the house. I walk an hour and he's still out there when I get back. I also notice when he drives home from somewhere (in his spotless car), he's out there cleaning the driveway. Probably from the dirt tracked in on the tires.

I think he can't function unless that driveway is spotless.

He does wear the same clothes, but they aren't dirty. They are clean and pressed every day.

Maybe he's like the character Monk who had an entire closet of white shirts.

You could tell from the way you wrote the post that you're not out there staring at the guy and losing sleep over it. Good grief. I often wonder what our neighbors (not immediate) think of us. My husband works like crazy from his office upstairs. I'm either tearing it up or down with my spine issues and sitting in the couch (like today). They probably think my husband is a good for nothing, lazy, control freak or something because I'm often doing work outside when he's working. We either have no company for days or a flurry. But at least we speak to people sick or not and have a dog that gets walked. 😊
