Tell us about your neighbors

Normal neighbors actually.

wat abot u?

One of them a one of those woman who'll put up a poor pretense of being friendly, then immediately talk shit behind your back once in the house and on the phone to her other drama seeking freinds.

The others just moved in, no idea who they are. They have a disabled child. Built a ramp. Lit all I know.

I've lived here 10 years and actually never formally met my neighbors, of which there are many because I live at the end of a cul-de-sac.

I work overnights and I'm pretty shy/non-social.

I wave and say hello, I'm friendly enough, but I just mind my own business lol

On one side of me I have two old sisters. One is pretty disabled, I've had to help her onto her bed or wheelchair when she has taken a spill. Thankfully either they or whatever family they have seem to take the hint they need some form of social worker or medical worker because I haven't had to do that.

On the other side is a family with little kids. They seem pretty nice. They have money apparently because the first thing they did was build a new fence and generally I think those things are split 50:50 between neighbors (right?) but they didn't bother us.

@girlusocrazy: Sweet!

Surprised no one yelled back at the yeller.

The girl next door to me is always smiling at me whenever I leave the house for odd reasons🤔

I had terrible neighbours back in my day. The first one was a single guy and all I could hear was him blasting loud music at night, throwing a party on random days past midnight, and having sex with women at 3am.

Once he left, then came a couple who were both douchebags. The guy would play his trumpet and drums past midnight all the time.

She likes you. Go get her!

@davillain: you know….comparing me with you….I know I’m the more attractive person….but girls always end up falling head over heals with you.

What’s with this sorcery, I say??

😊😊

Neighbor to the right of me is dope. Invites us over, brings us food, and is a generally nice guy. I reciprocate, of course.

Neighbor to my left is less willing to interact. Which I assume is because I had to have an awkward conversation with them about their dog. I'm not upset and am willing to move on, but they seem to have let that stop them from opening up.

Neighbor across the street is cool. He's a barber, I have his number. We've checked in w/ one another if we notice an open door or lights on late.

Why? So you can watch as my wife turns into an raging jealous woman? Yikes, I'll never hear the end of it. Na, she can smile at me all she wants but I ain't gonna mess up my family like that lol.

I haven't got a clue? Just be yourself is what I always go by and be friendly to others...even my next door neighbors.

@davillain: lol. This is definitely a me problem and not a you problem. I’m sorry if I came off as offensive or rude.

@outworld222: It's all good👍

My across the street neighbor will sit on his porch coughing for hours straight, and whenever the weather is nice and I open my windows, he'll start grilling and the charcoal smoke always comes in here. So I basically can never enjoy the nice weather with my windows open. My next door neighbor listens to really bad music for hours on end ,(from like 9 am to 9pm). My other neighbors are pretty chill though.

On my one side is an elderly lady with her 40 something year old unemployed meth head son who always has to come out and tell me how great he is at construction or working on cars when I’m working in my garage or outside around the house, the other seems to keep to himself but complains as soon as I light a small fire in my backyard or have my music slightly loud. All in all I get along with them, just would prefer other neighbours.

I live in a cul de sac. One neighbor backed into me the other day. Another one is an older lady, and pretty. The last ones are new to the neighborhood.

It's The South, don't know my neighbors and they answer the door with a gun!

A lot of young pretty women live here. Has something to do with these apartments being downtown and low income.

The kid(s) in the apartment above me often run around, trampling the floor. I can't blame them. Car-obsessive American city planning is terrible. I remember that I also stopped playing outside when I immigrated here as a young boy.

I fell for my neighbour. She's beautiful, caring and fun. We flirted constantly in the coolest ways, so life at home was wildly interesting.

Then, six weeks ago, she abruptly stopped and I'm not sure why. Maybe her husband got super pissed off, or probably I did something excessively stupid, but then everything I did was dumb, so I'm stumped.

Now, when she sees me - and that's every day - she literally turns her back.

I guess that's that, but she looks about as happy as I feel, so I really think it shouldn't be.

neighborhood is nice. moved in a little under 2 years ago, house on a cul-de-sac with nice flat back yard backing up to woods. so decently private in the back. development is about 25 years old so int he past few years we've had a lot of original owners selling and moving out now that their kids are grown and new families with kids moving in so there's a good amount of other kids around. my kids love our neighbors and they play together all the time. play in the woods, ride bikes, play in each other's yards etc... it's great for them. pretty much all the adults around are cool too as we're mostly all at a similar spot in our lives. very happy here.

I have a neighbor across the street who hasn't talk to us in years since her mother passed. She has two sons and daughter in their 20's who think they are better than us cause they drive trucks and are doctors. My other neighbor next door moved out of his house cause problems with his son with jail and didn't want nothing to do with him. His wife lives there and she has her son's girlfriend with her children who consistently yells at the kids. I hope those people leave as they look like bad people with tattoos and always coming and going. It was pretty bad before as our previous neighbors would have parties and play loud music and have trucks starting up like at 5 in the morning. This was years ago and those people moved out thankfully as the house was being rented. My other neighbor is in his 80's and he fixed our roof about 4 years ago and it leaked. My mom had to hire my brother's friend who had a roofing company and they took off the entire roof and fixed it up cost like $20,000 but they sealed it up. Has never leaked with rain or even snow which we got about 2 years ago. I don't know about the rest of the neighbors as never met them before. It's a quiet neighborhood except for dogs barking and cars honking and people walking down the street.

Mine have two kids one of whom the parents have trained to do this high pitched shriek if he doesn’t get his way. Trained by rewarding him anytime he screams instead of correcting and saying ok you get nothing for screaming.

The other I suspect is on the spectrum as he tends to run back and forth making dinosaur noises in his yard. No not like any normal kid. He literally runs to one side then back making snarling noises.

One time while they had a BBQ the kid wanted people to watch him be a dinosaur. Their guests daughter began to sing a song on the radio and everyone was congratulating her the dinosaur kid went ballistic screaming nobody is watching him be a dinosaur. The parents then encouraged him to sprint back and forth snarling and clapped “GOOD DINOSAUR!”

I suspect the husband is abusive because I overheard the older boy snarl one day at his Mom “Why don’t you do something useful for once.”

Not something a 6 year old would say. If the Mom is talking to me the boys will often hit or throw things at her. She does nothing but laughs it off.

I stated my kids have never & would never do that & if they did it would only happen once. She scurried off.

My other neighbors are great.

Current neighbors are too boring to describe. Nice neighborhood, responsible adults. Which got me thinking, what were my most interesting neighbors ever.

When I was 20, lived in a three story complex encircling a courtyard. Supposedly a nice place in the 70s, at least what I heard from the older bros talking about their old quaalude parties. But the shit was straight hood when I lived there, pretty much lawless, perfect spot to sell smoke.

One dude opposite side of the courtyard looked like low rent Ja Rule. Dude hated me for a while, always staring. I got way more business than him, but I eventually put him on, then we were cool. Still, I'd troll his ass. See him out, yell "whatwouldibewithoutmy baaaybee" in that shitty Ja voice lol.

Couple of doors down from me, had some unsuccessful local rappers rooming together. One of them sold home made soaps and candles to help make ends meet. One time, knew he was down, he wanted to trade me some of that stuff for some smoke. I said sure, why not. I'll never forget, one of the items was a Tupac soap bar lmao. Just a newspaper print image of Tupac in the middle of a clear soap bar. Take a shower, wonder what I'm doing with my life.

There was this one prostitute chick living in the complex. Pretty sure she just enjoyed doing it. Had money, wasn't run down, not on drugs. Seemingly selective with her clients. Not the typical horror story at all. One night it's storming like crazy. Like near tornado weather. I'm standing in the breezeway in front of my spot, smoking an L. Next thing I know, see two butt ass naked people climbing down from the roof top, like wtf? Her and one of her dudes. They saw me, waved and yelled hey, then went on inside. Just shook my head.

Plenty of other interesting types. Had our local non-functioning alcoholic. Had the hippies on the first floor, making glass pieces, hemp jewelry, chill people. But they were also the repository for holding stolen goods until the heat dies down lol.

Edit: Oh man, "Daywane" and Sholanda. 😂 Crackheads with hearts of gold. Long story short, had to take their mattress from them to make a point. This post really jogged some memories.

Worst of the worst of the neighbors, ran into this dude I knew from summer school years back. Remember one night he wanted a ride to an even worse part of town, said he had to check his hoes. Figured he was just talking shit, thought I was dropping him off at some girls place. Nah. Dude was a shitty pimp dealing with run down women. Offered me a go for the ride, was like yeah no fucking thanks guy, got the hell out of there. Pretty sure he murdered a dude in the next building over. Don't know if he caught a charge, but I never saw him again.

Ok got dark at the end there. 😅

Honestly, mostly fun times, every day was a new story in that place. I'd never want to live in a spot like that again, but plenty of fun memories.

Never realized Conan was from The Wire.

I live in an apartment building and my neighbours don’t bother with me or anyone else,pretty much quiet.

@girlusocrazy: yea they goto school & theres other kids around but if they don’t do what dinosaur kid wants he goes feral and tries to hurt them.

For example he wanted to play soccer with my daughter who is a few year’s older. When he started losing (his parents let him win all the time) he grabbed my daughters arm and made this crazed look pinching her.

Unfortunately my kids take Muy Thai kickboxing. My daughter looked to me I nodded and the kid got a combo, two shots in head and kick to this waist down instantly.

They have a dog named Bacon and a 3-4 year old daughter. They always are nice to me and my family. I'm very fortunate to have such good neighbors. :)

Wealthy professionals or retired wealthy professionals. That is my entire neighborhood. I am retired too.

The ones on my left are at their winter ski property in the Rockies.

The ones on my right are at their winter golf property in AZ.

Folks across are around as they have school age kids, as do we. He is an engineer, she is an accountant. Definitely nerd central :)

We don't have anyone directly behind us as we back onto a ravine. We do get moose, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and many bird visitors and they are all friendly....except for the coyotes.

People are also friendly and keep an eye out on each other's property, have emergency contact numbers etc. But generally there is not a lot of direct interaction which I attribute to the average age, retired or busy professionals, and relatively few school age kids.

Real names Omar, it checks out.

Actually did live in a run down part of Baltimore when I was a kid. First place my family ended up when we came to the states, before moving to Texas. That place I described in my post above though, nothing near as fucked up as Baltimore was. Dad had his car less than a week, came out to find it sitting on bricks with no battery. Constantly shit like that.
