Go look. Hide in the bushes and peep in through the windows. Nothing can go wrong, honest.

iusedtoknow

nope

as the great Larry David once said :

I’d rather have the thieves than the neighbors-the thieves don’t impose. Thieves just want your things, neighbors want your time.

I'd happily talk to the neighbours on one side cos they're lovely. The yoke on the other side is a complete mentler and we've nothing to do with her.

I say hello if i see my neighbours immediately next to me! The family on the right are very nice. The family on the left are miserable, it costs nothing to have manners yet it is like getting blood from a turnip getting a response from either the man or his wife. I once said hello to the man as i was getting in to my car and he was getting something out of his boot, he looked up and obviously heard me and said nothing and continued what he was doing so i said "I SAID HELLO" a bit louder and he grunted something at me! The wife is no better! Dickheads

We talk to all our neighbours on our street. Stop for a chat if we see them, look out if they are on holidays. That kind of thing.

I regularly mow their strip of grass at the front if I'm doing mine.

Banjo String

Yes.

Big Ron in Cell 4F. I'm his bitch though.

anncoates

Yeah. They're all sound although I'd love to clatter the fcuk out of one of their kids as he's a pain.

kneemos

One of my neighbours seems to be devoutly religious,every other night I hear her shouting "Oh God" over and over.

cena

I do on my side . even cut there front lawns for them.

CarMe

My more far away neighbours I've gotten to know fairly well, I try to avoid my close neighbours as they've most likely heard the ghetto b!tch in me.

akura

I have to use binoculars to spy properly on my hot neighbour.

I'd say hi to the neighbours on one side....the other side no- pretty sure they worship the devil...they have 666 painted on the shed :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Wabbit Ears

Before we had kids we didnt really but now my wife knows loads of them from being outside on the street and stuff. Most of my neighbours are sound but a few are complete cnuts. I still pretty much keep to myself but i say Hi to everybody.

Doesn't sit well with your moderating in the bored thread WUMing?

Legs.Eleven

My neighbours are lovely. Fast talkin, salt-o-de-eart inner city Madridlenos who I have trouble understanding sometimes but are always friendly and polite to me.

I live next to a couple like this for 5+ years now. The first time I "met" them was in a similar circumstance to the one above, I waited to say hello and introduce myself. They almost ran in the door rather than exchange pleasantries! I don't even know their kid's name. It's sad!

Paybel

One of my neighbours is pretty sound, but I find her 5 year old daughter a bit annoying. She goes around on a bike and stares in to my place. Another neighbour only talks to me when his ex complains to him about not being able to get the visitor spot nearest to his front door (they have a kid together). He comes around asking if I know who owns the car etc...

I try to avoid them most of the time!

Sadderday

my neighbours a pure weirdo

Ush1

Neighbours on one side are really nice. Middle edged with sorta early twenties late teens children. Friendly and very welcoming.

Neighbours on other side are a bit different. A good bit older and less polite. When they do talk they then sound a bit mental also but sure they aren't the worst truth be known.

sopretty

Nope. Though I'm intimately acquainted with the state of their relationship, given the almost nightly blazing rows that they have!!!! According to 'herself', 'himself' is 'nothing but a fooking scumbag'. And then they must just go to sleep haha.

Bacchus

Yes, lovely people too. We never see anybody in the houses on one side of us but the people in the 3 houses on the other side of us are dead sound. They're all a bit older 40-60 and are owners rather than renters like us. We've lived there 4 years now though. Would have chat out the back over the summer with them every now and again. They're even in some of our wedding photos as my wife left the house

Just this morning I was sitting in my car waiting for the ice to thaw from the windshield and along came one of my neighbours with a bucket of water to clear it off He was just out walking his dog, spotted me and popped back inside to get some water. Never had neighbours like that in all my renting life. It's nice to have

Sounds like he wants to play with your banjo string

Live in an apartment and have said hello to the lad that lives there once. We were both gee eyed and falling our respective doors at 4 in the morning. He gave me some chips. Sound lad.

Dbarry55

Yes im living in a housing estate in the country and i talk to and drink with my neighbours a lot, in the summer, will often text in winter as kids would be in bed and what not, didnt speak as much to my neighbours when i lived in dublin.

LOL sounds similar to my neighbours. On one side is an auld bint that is massively into religion...and then the auld one on the other side has many male visitors throughout the night. I often get woken out of my sleep to men banging on her door and windows, roaring for her to "let me in"! :pac: :D

I always say I live in the middle of the saint and the sinner!:D

I live in a block of five apartments and we really just say 'hi, nice day' type stuff if we meet on the stairs. It's a fairly new estate and if you don't have kids not that easy to get to know the neighbours. My mother lives just ten minutes drive away, on a much older road and the difference is unbelievable. There's always a neighbour popping in, or stopping to chat to you on the road, or waving to you when you're getting into your car. I wish I could afford to move somewhere like that. Ah well.

Not much contact with my neighbours when I can help it. There really is only two to speak of.

The first is a completely fundamentalist Christian nutjob. The kind that hisses and curses us in the street for our anti god alternative sexual life style. We have even caught him conducting one man ceremonies in the front of our house or from his back garden. Which normally involves him flicking holy water from some antique bronze flicker thing he has into our gardens. And my meditation group includes a local priest and a local trainee priest whom he feels compelled to accost on the way into and out of our property in an attempt to stop them socialising with us and our evil influence.

The other neighbour is a quiet lonely guy in his mid 40s who seems to develop an interest in telescope star gazzing every summer. Amazingly this interest comes around the same time as my girlfriends start sunbathing in the garden or using the jacuzzi. And amazingly he appears to think he can find most stars during day light. Often with his telescope pointed down rather than up - and with the tip of the telescope poking through closed curtains. Go figure.

Rarely see my neighbours. Better off too.

I've got clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.

You should give the case of Kitty Genovese a read.

She was stabbed in her own neighbourhood as 37 of her neighbours that heard the crime occur closed the curtians, and nobody, not one single person called the police. This fact enabled her killer to return to the crime scene 10 minutes after she had been stabbed to finish the job while she pleaded for help in the lobby of her apartment building.
If you think that the reason that nobody called was that this was some neighbourhood with a 'troubled relationship with the police' it wasn't, one sniffy wittness corrected a reporter by informing him that it was an 'upper-middle class' neighbourhood, not a 'middle class one'.
It's a sad indictment of how an atomised society is an uncaring one.

On one side we have elderly neighbours who are a bit reserved but will always say hello and vica versa. On the other side we have a couple in their early 40s with one kid. The kid is weird, like something out of the village of the damned. Just stares and never responds to a hello. The father seems a very quiet sort but will always have a wave or an acknowledgement. The mother who is an annoying loudmouth with either say hello or as in at the weekend completely blank you when you say hello from even 10 feet away. It's 50/50. People are ****ing weird.

lukesmom

Lithuanian single mother on my right, we wave and say hello, she seems like a nice person. On our left is a couple who are only in the house a month. Haven't had a wave or hello from them yet. As I was parking in my drive with my kids the other day I said hello to the guy and he just blanked me! Even though he definitely heard me. Ah well if that's the way he wants to be that's fine.
Each side of us are renting so you never know when people are gonna leave at the drop of a hat.
