Apparently SOMEONE Has Too Much Time On Her Hands
Posted in crazy people and tagged with cults, neighbors, weirdness on 09/20/2008 09:12 am by Jerseygirl89I have a waving acquaintance with most of the people in my neighborhood. It’s hard not to when you live in a townhouse complex and spend time outside. I’ve even had actual conversations with most of the people near me. But not the people directly across the street.
The couple directly across the street doesn’t have any kids (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and seems to work incredibly long hours. They also seem to think I’m a freak when I sit on our tiny porch and read in the evening (the light is not very good on the deck) because they never wave at me when they come home.
And while it may be possible that I’ve had too much time on my hands in the evenings (the carpal tunnel preventing much evening typing, Hot Guy being out of town), I don’t think I’ve gone all Rear Window. . .yet. (Rear Window – Alfred Hitchcock movie where homebound guy becomes convinced that his neighbor has killed his wife. I think there was a remake with Shia LeBouef.) I don’t think the unfriendly couple across the street has murdered anyone. But I do think something fishy is going on.
A couple weeks ago they cleaned out the garage. They also hosed down enough folding chairs for a small wedding – which they then carried into a house. They also put a refrigerator in the garage. I didn’t think anything about it until the other night. A van pulled up to their house and ten chattering young people got out, laden with shopping bags. They went into the neighbors’ and didn’t come back out. The next night the same thing happened. Last night four or five people came walking up to the house and disappeared inside.
Now, before you say “party”. Let me point out that most of these sightings have been on weeknights. And what kind of party entails everyone arriving all at once in the same car? And who has three parties in the same week? And why do all the guests have beat up shopping bags? And why are they all younger than the couple who owns the townhouse?
I think it’s weird. My pregnant brain says they’ve started a cult.
Do you think I need to get out more?

That is odd. Now, you say they enter the home but you don’t say anything about them leaving. It makes me wonder if they are youth leaders at a church or something. And if they do leave, do they take their beat up bags, or do they walk out with something else?

Maybe an AA meeting or something of the sort?

Or a cult. Probably a cult.

I was going to say perhaps they are youth leaders….but your version is SOOOOO much better.

Maybe they film porn movies over there.

Simone – I have never seen them leave. And I go to bed late!
AndreAnna – I hope it’s not AA – that would be so boring!
Jess – Youth leaders would be even more boring than AA. Plus, wouldn’t they leave at a decent hour?
Travis – That’s even better than a cult!

Very Jimmy Stewart of you to see all the odd happenings. Def. a cult.

They’re having an orgy.
I can’t believe they didn’t invite you!

I think a theft ring cult. I’d be out watching all the darn time!

You’ve got me scratching my head. That IS weird. You’ve got to promise to tell us if you ever find out.
