there was a dude like this at my old apartment complex...
i let him help us move in, and he'd always come hang around and never leave..really weird...
then one day i saw an ambulance in the parking lot, turns out he killed himself.

gather his shit up and have it next to the door...or better yet, gather it up and take it to him. That way you can get your shit too AND get a better classiification of the wierdo you live next to

LOL, sounds heavy. There's just not a nice way to say 'fuck of and leave me alone' I'm afraid. I'd nip it the bud though or it could get bunny boiling fast.

About 4 weeks ago we had a bad storm blow through phoenix... my yard got demolished - lost trees and a fence ect - so I had to get some help cutting and getting this crap out of here...
Well - while the tree guys are doing their thing in the front yard... a neighbor comes pedaling up on his bike. The tree guy struck up a conversation with the guy (damn him to a long traffic jam or something for this) and before you know it he's knocking on my door.
I wander around the house with the neighbor as the tree guys go back to work. First off, he's about 55 and in serious need of some adult Ritalin cuz he's movin' around like a flock of bathroom deprived 2nd graders... speeds an adult should not be moving at. So first thing I do is examine him super closely for any weird 'meth' scabs - cuz i'm not going through that again (that's another story for another day).
About 20 mins go by. One of the tree guys looks over at me and shakes his head and mouths 'I'm sorry' to me...
*sigh
... so - to shorten the story - I 'hire' the guy for additional work. He also lives a few doors down - I see him going in and out all the time and his name's on the place (I checked later)... so I figured there's nothing to worry about... this is my 'real' neighbor.
He shows up around a week later and just gets to work... and he's crazy fast... like he's trying for some personal best record at trimming bush (I don't know how else to say it... try and stay with me here, flavorful and the like)... SO... I think 'wow - good call... he's cheap and fast... nice!'
I walk out into the backyard to say hello and give my approval and some cash. He's a nice guy it still seems... and he wants to go on and on a bit more about the yard - he's got more ideas etc. So I humor him... I 'kick it' with him a bit...
... then he grabs one of my chairs and says 'man, this is a good time... grab a seat... let's rap about this more...'...
... so... *sigh... I humor him again...
... now he won't go away.
He drinks alcohol like it's bottled water (actually carries it around with him IN bottled-water bottles)... and worse... he shows up right at 'debate time'(president) this evening to work in the yard. I know I said 'yes' to a couple more things - so I run out to toss him a check and try to be quick and cold. I tell him that it's 'debate time, my friend and I are just sitting down so I gotta run back in'.
He says 'well, hey! i want to check that out - can I watch with you guys?'...
...
... so... I think quickly and say, 'well, dude... frankly - you're kinda gamy right now and I have company - it wouldn't be fair to my company' and follow it with a quick laugh - and then I tell him (like a moron)... 'shower up... sure!' and laugh again.
'Okay... I'll be back in a few minutes!'
'FUCK.'
So my buddy and I are sitting on the couch - I'm thinking the guy won't really show... but I tell my buddy to 'gear up' anyway.
20 mins later... dude shows up... w/two 'water bottles'...
Anyway... it's bad... we had to pretty much ask him to leave because he was drunk of his ass stupid and wouldn't shut up. He started blurting out jibberish bullshit and it wouldn't stop.
We gave him a couple of chances to shut up - we started off humoring his weirdness at first... but it became obvious he wasn't going to settle down... so we somehow got him to feel uncomfortable and he finally left... but only after getting all weird and apologetic about it all... and he KEPT APOLOGIZING... all weird and dumb... and handsy... and... CREEPY...
...FUCKING CREEPY.
... thing is - his shit's in my backyard (tools etc) and he has some of MY tools at his house...
... tomorrow is going to suck... I think the way I'll play is just act cold... I don't want to be this odd weird lonely neighborhood guy's friend anymore... it's weird and uncomfortable - I'm scared of a Cable Guy scenario here... only because of how weird he was with the apologies...
... and now I'm going to go lock down my home... he told me that he was 'working'... spraying my bushes at 3am this past morning...
