Well I used to live in a small co-op where everyone on the the street knew everyone else and we all met up for a party or something during the summer. Since I moved however, I don't know any of my neighbours after two years of living here.

I saw that coming as soon as I read the first three words hahaFrequen-Z said:To my left, I have drug addicts.
To my right, a broken family who have enough money to move somewhere better but would rather stay and argue instead.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you..
The guy who lives in the apartment above mine is cool and I don't think I've ever even seen the people in the apartment next to me, but the people in the apartment behind mine are a bunch of cunts. When I moved in, it was this batshit-crazy couple that had a few insane screaming fights, including one that spilled out into the courtyard when wifey started hurling shit off the balcony. They were also fond of doing things like calling in noise complaints against us when there was nobody home. When they got evicted, some new horrible woman moved in with her young daughter - maybe 9 or 10 or so. The kid is fine and friendly and cute and everything, but the mother is horrible. I share a wall with their apartment and hear her screaming at her kid once every couple of days. A couple of weeks ago we smelled smoke in my apartment and realized that something was on fire in their apartment; we called the landlord over and it turned out that they'd left the stove on and some of the garbage that was lying strewn about the place had caught fire. Both the mom and the kid had been home, but the mother had somehow (drunk? high? I don't know) slept through it.
The house next to ours' seems to attract stupid people, somehow. We had a really loud and annoying family next to us for about ten years (these people started SINGING classical music with a dreadful voice at 3 in the morning), and now that they've moved out our new neighbour has ended up being just about the best example of "the man" I can give you. He's a gigantic show-off, bragging about his excuse for a car the first time we met him, he puts his kids in front of the TV every evening and gets take-away meals each friday.
In the house across from ours lives a very old annoying left-wing couple. They feel the need to litter their window with leftist-party posters every election and have a HUGE ASS TL-lamp to provide lightning in their living room - which means you're blinded every time you so much as look out of the window. And as if that wasn't enough, the man drives a Fiat Panda which takes him about twenty minutes to get out of the garage whenever he leaves in it, only to be followed by him stepping on the gas and driving over 50 mph through the entire neighbourhood.
Then in the house across from us on the other side (our house is a cornerhouse) lives a man who has the weird habit of going outside whenever he's telephoning, allowing the entire street to enjoy his sales talks. That, and he has about 20 pairs of skis he randomly displays against his wall at seemingly random moments, only to take them back inside again on moments just as random.
In the house diagonally across the street from us lives a woman who has some kind of weird problem with her ex-boyfriend. He's been prohibited from entering the street though he does sometimes seem to do so anyway - this is usually followed by a night of the two yelling at eachother from the window onto the street.
That said, we do have some good relations with people in the area and have good contacts with people further off.

On the one side I have an elderly couple who look after any packages that're delivered while I'm at work, I've had a few conversations with them and they're nice enough people.
On the otherside is an elderly woman whose grandson lives with her, when he's not in jail for drug dealing related crimes, when he is home he plays loud music has friends over swears alot and so on. The woman has somekind of home care nursing group who park outside my house blocking my parking space. She also has a call assistance thing thats all doe through a speaker phone, she screams into it, its not nice.

When I lived in an appartment I fucking hated my neighbors. They had parties on weeknights the other smoked pot around their children and the last one well, my roomie dated her and broke her heart. This caused many wonderful complications.
In a house ... right now I don't have any 'neighbors' because I'm on an end lot and the house next door is vacant and for sale. The old lady that lived there died like a month after we moved in. She seemed nice.

Yea, that sucks. For a while, we had people above us who would get drunk every night. I went up to tell them to quiet down once and they apologized, saying, "Sorry, our roommate is drunk and keeps falling down". And then I saw him getting off the floor, and I walked away. That was just pathetic. Of course, they were fine members of the US Coast Guard.ace_of_something said:
Then they moved out, and the people with the kid moved in. I already posted about this earlier but just remembered a couple mornings when I awoke to someone running on a treadmill blasting Three Doors Down. What an awful way to wake up.
Never actually talked to any of my neighbours... so yeah, guess they are ok, keep to themselves just a bit loud on weekends when they have guests over but it's all good.
I live in an apartment with people I like: above me is a pianist (she is amazing, and I love listening to her when I'm dozing off - but I've only really talked to her when she drops her laundry), but I haven't talked to the people below me.
The others I live with have, however, and apparently they are nice too.
I have had nasty neighbours though. When I was younger, we had a neighbour who constantly walked into our house without asking, getting pissed off when once in a while we locked it. She was mean and gossipy, and she'd go behind people's back to change property boundaries and things... yeh I'm glad I don't live there any more!

I've only met two of my neighbors (I live in a condo complex, so there're lots) and I like them. Otherwise, I haven't met the other five of them. Oh, except I'm pretty sure the kid across from us is a demon.
The neighbours on one side are wankers who don't have a GCSE to share between them. On the other side, they're alright, if a bit nosy.
I live next to one retired uncle of mine. He's a good guy, and he and his badass dogs keep an eye on my house while I'm away. The other families in the neighborhood are mostly good folks as well...except for the one guy who's a DJ and sometimes holds parties where he plays techno/dance music at absurd volumes.
