What would you do if you spotted your neighbour doing something truly foul on your property? This was the dilemma one man faced after caught something unusual on his Ring floodlight camera. At first, he dismissed the strange behaviour - but when he caught his neighbour doing the same thing just hours later, he grew suspicious and didn't know how to react.
So, what was the act that left him disgusted and questioning whether he could forgive his neighbour? The elderly man was "peeing against" his back gate. The baffled man took to Reddit's 'Neighbours From Hell' forum to share that he'd installed the Ring floodlight camera behind his garage to assist him in riding his motorbike "into the garage at night."
However, he ended up capturing more than he anticipated on the camera when he unintentionally filmed the "old guy peeing" against his gate.

"I thought maybe he was unwell and just caught short and let it slide," he explained.
But just two hours later, he was "back doing it again" in the same spot. This time, however, the disgruntled resident decided to "turn on the siren" and told the elderly man "to do one" through the speaker system.
It wasn't long before the man recognised him as his neighbour who "lives down the road."
But things took an even stranger turn when he went to inspect the fence.
He described the wood as "very stained," leading him to wonder if this peculiar behaviour had been "going on for months or years". "So has this bloke got some weird compulsion?" he pondered.
He penned: "It feels really creepy and a bit like deviant behaviour. There is a public park behind the service road, so you wonder if there is some risk thrill side to this? He also seems to unzip long before he gets to the spot.
"I posted on the neighbours' WhatsApp group and apart from a few shocked face emojis, the family of the man haven't said anything yet.
"Do I go and talk to them about it? Will the siren be enough to stop it?"
In the comments, one person suggested getting petty revenge on him by posting the video in the street WhatsApp group to "shame him."
They raged: "Post the video of him exposing himself (with a trigger warning) on the group. Say nothing, and send it to them directly. Again, say nothing. Should get shamed for it (at the bare minimum)".
The original poster said that he didn't want to go this far, because he worried he "wouldn't feel any shame but his family might". He described the situation as "really odd".
In the end, he said he messaged the family and asked them to tell him to stop.
