What do you think of your neighbors?


Recommended Posts

Mine are all in laws, I get along with them fine. It's not like they are real close anyways, not like city living.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

:default_sign0081:

I live in the boonies now and love not having the neighbors so close and most of them keep to themselves , they are not very friendly but also not annoying.

My neighbor who lives directly behind us is pretty friendly though, waves hello and even offers us food when he's barbecuing and sees us outside. 

Ill be moving to the LA area soon though. I just graduated and all my job opportunities are in that area. Gonna be living in a tin can next a whole lot of people lol

One day the sadness will end.

 

I live on a street like this and have 5 sets of neighbours in immediate proximity to my house with paper thin walls between the houses.

Ones to my left are ok. Old ones to my right were a nightmare with lots of kids and always playing loud music at silly hours but a young couple has recently moved in there so thats ok now. The ones immediately behind me are very loud. Lots of kids there too and then the two to the rear left and rear right aren't too bad but I can tell whose making noise in each house.

As for the group of 6 houses, mine is probably the noisiest one with my late night gaming sessions and vocal women. It's quite surprising how much you can hear in the other houses.

I live in a cul-de-sac, ours in the first house as you turn in. For the most part our neighbours are great, apart from the dole monger at the bottom of the street. Never worked a day in her live but has a 60 inch tv, satellite dish, 2 cars in the drive but takes taxis everywhere, popped several kids out to keep her lifestyle but now she is to old (37) and suddenly has chronic back pain (my ass), still claiming benefits. Argues with everyone on the street. As you can see I have that one neighbour who leaves a sour taste, but the rest of the street you always get a wave and a hello and pretty friendly bunch of people. I do feel its quite close together though, I grew up on a farm in Canada and there you had privacy, room to do things, and if your loud, no one is close enough to complain.

.I live at the end of 4 hours. I don't know the last 2 but the one next to me is a bit of a pain. He has a dog that barks all the time and all he does is shout at it. Apart from that he's ok. The ones of the other side of me (thank god they're not attached) are an absolute nightmare.  They have a little kid that plays out in the garden and it screams, cries and shouts all the time. They also have a little dog that barks all the time whenever the kid is out. The kid starts screaming and the parents just ignores them.

I live in a similar inner city area to that in Squirrel's picture, in a terrace house. For those unfamiliar these are houses with no gaps either side (unless you're on the end of the street). They tend to be grouped in 4s with an alley way running between the middle 2 that we all use to access the back of the house. So there's a small common area to each group of 4 and consequently see a lot of the 3 neighbors in that same group but not so much of those in other groups of 4. Those we see a lot of are all fine. One young couple with two kids, one old lady on her own and next door recently moved in a young woman with 3 kids. None of the kids are overly noisy, they stick to their own back gardens, most of the time. We do some shopping for the old lady as she can't walk too far anymore. We're at the end of our group of 4 and the other side who we don't really know can be a bit noisy, they always seem to be banging things at the weekends and in these sort of houses noise carries very easily. But it's only in the daytime, I guess one of them does a lot of DIY or something. Also they have a dog that whines when they are out, but only for a few minutes at a time. There were some dodgy neighbors opposite that my wife was convinced were drug dealers, I don't know for sure myself. They left in a hurry anyway. Then our other "neighbours" at the back of the property are Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. I'm not a supporter of them but they are fine. Some of their supporters and some of the opposition supporters can be a nuisance. We used to get fans trying to see if they can get into the ground by climbing over the wall at the back. But since we put a lockable door on the alley way they can't try that any more and we have police patrolling the street on match days. The worst trouble we have had was a Sheffield derby a few year's ago and some Sheffield United fans threw beer bottles into our garden. There is now a higher fence to stop that.

Cul-de-sac, terraced house (joined on both sides to other houses).

92 year-old lady next door, very friendly, always asks me to do stuff for her from changing light bulbs to replacing the garden gate, kinda hard to say no, but she's cool so I don't mind.

Irish family next door with 5 children, quite noisy, but I make much more noise with music and they like to complain as soon as they can hear it (had soundproofing done).

Overall not bad, but I'm moving in 2 weeks into a semi-detached house, so I'll lose 1 neighbour :D

Hard work. The house is an absolute mess, grotty paintwork and weeds growing out the pavement. The garden is a mess of overgrown weeds and brambles that stretch everywhere. Awake all hours of the weekend playing loud music and drinking, always out the front making a mess... with... bikes... and... mud...

Oh hang on, that would be me. : TEARS :

I guess my neighbours are ok, they put up with me. I dont really interact with them but they are a nice bunch. I live in a dead end street of terraced houses that is nice and quiet (when i am sober). :D

I live in a semi detached house in a village with a population of about 2000 people. My house is towards the end of a cul de sac. I've got an elderly lady next door who doesn't make much noise. The other side is a middle aged couple who I don't see that often apart from when the chap comes out to his garage a fires up 1 of his 3 Harley Davidsons. 

My friends who I've known since Uni live 30 yards up the road which is great. One of the reasons why I moved here.

Still don’t know my neighbors. The old guy next door asks me about my station wagon on occasion but it doesn’t last more than a few words, lol. I know the names of the other neighbors cats but not the humans 🙂

The house across the street is a massive one that has been turned into some sort of Apartments. It’s a run down dump with a constantly changing roster of tenants. Cops are there a couple times a week and most everyone is always yelling at each other. I have no desire to know those folks but they leave us alone so all is good in the hood.

Aside from that the only thing I do that involves my neighbors is to check the s*x offender registry on a regular basis. None of them near us thankfully.

Well been at war with neighbours on my right side for a few yrs came close to blows once when he shouted at the missis once been quit since I do like the star wars theme that gets played with a trumpet through the wall but only on the top floor and don't like the neighbours on the rear overlooking my back yard and windows but can't do nothing about that but put shading up I don't mind but the missis won't get naked in bedroom no more which is a big bummer 

On the right: Load music and TV can always be heard through 3ft thick concrete wall and my headphones.

On the left: We tried to be friendly but then their daughter moved in. She is just rude and her policeman boyfriend knocked on our door recently and accused me of beating my wife. Probably the worst way to deal with a suspected domestic abuse situation.

Underneath: 6 people in 2 bedroom flat, always noisy and love to leave mess and smell in the communal areas. A lot better than left and right though 😂

They may all have similar views of the family Chubb, but I am beyond caring. 5 years ago we had decent relationships with the people leaving in each of the mentioned flats, they have all moved on or passed away though.

Can you smell what the Stone is cooking?

I don't have anything to do with any of my neighbours. The right is an old couple that are quiet, the left are some young guys that have loud cars but it's only once or twice a week that I even notice them. Across the steet is another old couple that are rarely seen and only heard when mowing their lawn, and back neighbours can be heard talking if I go outside on a friday or saturday night otherwise they don't exist lol. All fences are high so never have an issue of privacy either.

I live in a suburb that's known throughout the state as a trouble area, but I've lived here for well over 10 years and have never had a problem with any neighbours.

As if you'd dare!!! I'm presuming the embarrassment was too much for you to tell him it was the other way around.

 

Our neighbours are mostly OK. House joined onto mine are extremely dim and a bit overly interested in speaking to me for my liking but pretty harmless, the ones on the other side are sound and let me use their drive for any excess parking needs when I've run out of space to keep all of my stuff parked up. The two opposite are OK, ones a bit nosey but also pretty harmless. The other is also into cars and used to look after some old racing cars, has an old BSA bike, an FN bike (made by the Belgian arms manufcaturer so their equivalent of BSA I guess) a Lotus 7 and various other interesting bits and bobs so we get on mint.

Looking into a new chain-link and a paling fence. Nothing against the man, but the (not so well behaved and very agressive) dog already bit me through the current (way too low) fence. Considering our small kids and our dog/cat I see this as a minimum action to take.
