New neighborhood, boomer neighbors!

r/BoomersBeingFools - New neighborhood, boomer neighbors!

So my girlfriend and I (both AA late 20s ) just moved into a new neighborhood and as soon as we arrived, we were getting weirds stares. Other neighbors waved and spoke to us except him. Soon after he goes to alert his neighbor, pointing in our direction as he whispers to his next door neighbor, which causes him to quickly glance our way in disgust. Now he and his wife are just sitting in the garage watching our every move through their dark shades.

lol bro they’re just chillin. This is not weird behavior, especially in the midwestern area I live in. Go say hi and stop taking photos of strangers in their own home.

I'm surprised it took so long to find someone reasonable. Op will probably find out they sit there every day like that. Just two friends, chillin. Then one day a moving truck comes and they get some entertainment.

Op is black. So, they have had to deal with racism all the time. They also probably read stories and hear about it all the time. So, they seem hyper focused on the issue. Instantly assuming that old people are racist is kind of biased. This would be a good opportunity to introduce themselves and get to know someone.

The pointing and scowling, plus setting up spy post and staring. That's the problem.

They just moved in. How do they know that they don't typically do this? Are we really judging facial expressions from across the street with no context as to what they were saying? They could have been talking about the previous owner as far as they know.

You sound demented

They’re legit just sitting in their garage, like you sit in your basement. They’re probably creeped out by OPs creep shots

I reserve the right to call kicking your car out of the garage so you can sit in its spot while it stares at you "weird behavior," tyvm.

Bros never had a smoke sesh in his life.

Watching while also pointing and talking to the neighbors about them is definitely weird behavior. If they were just sitting and watching, I'd agree that they're probably just curious but combined with everything else, nah that's weird.

Maybe they’re pointing and looking while asking, “Why the fuck is that weirdo taking a photo of us?”

The only evidence you have to the weird behavior is from the paranoid person who made the claims lol… People sit in their garages all the time without being “curious”

years ago a friend of mine encountered the same thing. he put an old console tv on the bottom of his yard and ran an extension cord so they could watch tv instead of having to stare at him and his family.

My Booms Booms do this all day. They call the police on each other. Recently, they've taken each other to court for "spying." I live in a boomer amusement park.

“Boom Booms” and “boomer amusement park” that’s so funny

My cameras picked up my boomer neighbor leaving bags of dog shit by my Biden sign in 2020. The guy was always nice to my face but apparently had an issue with my politics… So I collected the bags and after I had about 15 of them, I packaged them all up in a ups box with a screenshot from my camera and left them on his front door step. Also knew he was a renter, so I called the landlord and let them know that their tenant was being an asshole. Apparently I wasn’t the only one complaining about him. The guy never talked to me again and moved out / evicted a month later.

They're shading like orcs.

So they say that buying a home is easy and people shouldn’t complain about current housing market costs (almost worldwide), yet when someone does buy a house near them, that isn’t a boomer, it’s a huge fiasco? Also, are you in some minority in any way that the boomers might be “phobic”/have a grudge against

Make sure you make inroads with the nice neighbours. Get property cameras asap. 

Boomers are unhinged and when November rolls around, they'll get dangerous.

😂 it's like we're referring to a completely different species but you have a point about the election cycle danger. 😂😂

Don't worry, they won't be living there too long. Either an elder care home or hole in the ground awaits them in the very near future. In a game of attrition, you got them beat.

You underestimate the ability of bitter angry boomers to outlast everyone while staying healthy (apart from their rotten brains)... they're a real threat.

Did you happen to ask the next door neighbor (sounds like they’ve interacted with you?) what was said? Like just casually “hey when we were unloading our stuff it looked like ____ was muttering something and pointing at us, anything we should be aware of or worried about?”

Also sends the message to the other neighbors that you’re not stupid and see people for how they’re acting.

White boomers profiling POC and making them feel uneasy and unwanted in their own home? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

ETA: It took a couple hours, but I finally got my first troll. I'm wondering if they're a racist, a boomer, or a 14 year old wannabe edgelord playing grown.

I was getting really confused by what AA meant and thought OP was a recovering alcoholic.
