Do you like your neighbors?

[mrhappyface]

I don't usually socialize with my neighbors even though they live right next to me. Maybe its my Japanese heritage, (Japanese traditionally don't have big house parties or invite neighbors over) or the fact that my neighbors change every few months, .so i don't really have much attachment to them. My house is going to be torn down soon anyways. So what do you think about your neighbors?

 

[Julianking93]

I hate neighbors.

All my neighbors are rednecks.

I don't get the whole "you have to be friends with you neighbors"

 

[Swaki]

my neighbor is an old friend, so no, its super awkward when we bump into each other.

 

[Bob_Bobbington]

My neighbors don't bother us and we don't bother them. We're on a countyish road so we're that close.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

My neighbor to my right is a family with an exceedingly annoying pair of kids about 8 and 10 years old, and a girl who constantly has guys come over at 2am to sneak her out of the house. I don't like them at all.

Aaaand on my left is an older couple with the last name Re (I think it's funny that it's only two letters) who keep to themselves and scare the shit outta me everytime I sneak into my backyard for a cig.

I fucking HATE my neighbors. They scream at the top of their lungs every morning around 3 AM, they have excruciatingly loud parties, they have incredibly loud sex, and their choice of music sucks.

Thank God for my metal, and amazing stereo system.

I live in a cheap apartment for college students. My neighbours on the same floor have parties all the time, but I can't hear them from my room (and so far nobody has thrown up in the stairwell) so I don't care; my downstairs neighbour plays the acoustic guitar and sings a lot, which I find totally charming; and my other downstairs neighbour is a good friend of mine. So yeah, my neighbours are pretty okay.

At home, though, we live near some weirdos. We have a big tree in our backyard, and come autumn, the leaves fall. We don't have superpowers so we can't really control where they go; one of our neighbours, in a spectacular display of passive-aggressive dickery, swept up all the leaves from our tree that fell into his yard, put them in bags, and left the bags in our driveway so we couldn't move the car.

Another threatened to call animal control because our dog barked at her this one time (!), then got upset because we were "muzzling the poor animal" (we weren't, we use a gentle leader).

 

[Lord of Maggots]

My neighbors are disgusting rednecks that dont deserve to live... the 50 year old woman who lives there does yard work with no bra... fat saggy and gross.... they have a massive bay window and they play porn and have other couples come over with tote bags and FUCK all around the house... the house smells like ciggarettes and mustard, they have a pitbull thats attacked my sisters more than once... theyre ugly, they are always involved with the cops and their nefew has been arrested several times for violent crimes and threw my skate board over a bridge into the blackstone river... words dont express my hate for dirty rednecks... especially when they live on my street.

 

[LockeDown]

Not really. One of my neighbors kept me from getting fiber-optic cable lines installed because she didn't want the cable company disturbing her lawn, one of them has legally lost her mind, and keeps rear-ending my car when she pulls in and out of her driveway, and the other uses a HAM Radio array to keep in touch with his Finnish family, and the interference keeps me from being able to use wireless.

But the last guy's alright. I don't mind using wires, especially since his son (who takes care of him) has mastered the art of spinning tales.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

My left neighbours are pair of great lesbian ladies, really nice girls.

My right neighbour is a 87 year-old hag from the depths of Hades.

 

[benoitowns]

Some are nice, others are annoying. The nice one lets me borrow his yard tools to do work when my stuff breaks, the mean ones say my dog is barking too much and they think it needs more company and attention. My dog barks with other neighborhood dogs, these neighbors HAVE to be listening to see when it barks, they live down the street, I can barely hear my dog when I have my bedroom door closed.

 

[Unstoppable Wall]

I have no quarrel with my neighbors, however I did once wake up to the end of an argument outside which consisted of this "*****,*****,*****,*****,BIIIIIIITCCCH!! *tires squeal*" it was at like 10 AM so I shoulda been up anyway but damn, what a way to wake up.

[Frankydee]

We don't really pay much attention to ours. The people who live in the house behind us are a family of Indians (not the native American sort) and they're not particularly nice. The other neighbors just keep to themselves much like we do.

 

[Rednog]

My dorm neighbors suck, they are pigs that leave the communal kitchen a mess, there is dried up burnt crap covering the stoves which smells like burnt flesh when you cook, the sink is plugged with random things. My other neighbors, I can always hear them chatting through the thin walls, they go to bed at like 2 am and wake up at 5:30 am (No, I don't know how they manage, maybe they nap during the day).

My neighbors back home, no one really talks to one another, we give a friendly wave if we see each other but that's pretty much it. My neighborhood used to be social when there were a lot of kids around, but when we all moved onto highschool and beyond the neighborhood became less social and quiet (which is good and bad for various reasons.)

 

[Spiner909]

Mine are okay. They're quiet and friendly. Plus I live right next to the mayor of the city. (He has a regular house, not a mega mansion)

 

[Fightgarr]

I happen to have had incredible luck with neighbors this year. The people below me I never hear from, which I can live with. I also never hear them, which I can also live with. On the other hand, the neighbors I have next door are incredibly cool people. They will come over or we will come over every now and again to drink tea and shoot the shit. Occasionally we will watch a movie or an episode of MST3K with them. They've also invited us over to meet some of their other friends and play such great games as Apples to Apples with them.

I've had some shitty luck with neighbors, but it's a real mixed bag. Sometimes you get good neighbors, sometimes you get the alcoholic, violent, pirate next door neighbor my family has had for the last 19 years.

 

[TehCookie]

I never bother with mine because I live in the middle of the forest and can't see them, however I sometimes do hear kids from a nearby subdivision squealing when they come on my land and it annoys the shit out of me because I hate kids.

 

[Caligulove]

a lot of my neighbors move out regularly or are just here for short periods of time. The people on either side of me and above me are usually loud though, coupled with the fact that my walls are paper thin.

Though it also seems that we get back at each other for it by having sex...

Overall, I only hate the neighbor below me for listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers all the time... but like only 5 songs by them. Makes me hate that band- which I was indifferent about before.
And on the floor above me has Tim. This retired guy that has an UNCANNY resemblance to an Dave Chappelle with Grey beard. He rambles on a lot, but hes awesome

 

[Summerstorm]

I live in a city.. i don't even KNOW my neighbors. Ah well, it's not that bad... i live in a shared apartment, and next door and below are some students. First floor is a nice old couple and between them and us... some creepy freaks.

I don't really have contact with any of those "factions". And in another house? Meh... too far to walk i am lazy *g*.

 

[DoctorNick]

I keep odd hours and don't really see my neighbors very often, but when I do they're usually nice enough. Most of them are all geriatrics so they're not loud or anything.
