Neighbours: What Kind do you have?

[Ratrace]

Some are O.K. One is extremely nosey, she puts her dogs out every time we walk past to hear what we're saying, and once walk by our window three times in 30 seconds staring in.(We gave her a wave the third time and she seemed shocked we'd noticed her well-hiden spying tactics.) Another one came to the door drunk to complain about the mess my cats made in his garden, even though about 10 other cats are in there regularly. He even threatened to kill them between sips of his beer. Another one threatened to run over our cat before those if he was on the road, despite the fact she drives round our nosey neibours cats all the time. The same day he disapeared her husband desided to wash their car. At 8:30-9:00 o'clock at night. In the middle of January. Round about minus 5C outside. I would think it could be a coincidence if they haddenent started avoiding us after that.

Well, in front of my house, I have these neighbours from Africa (not sure which country). They are quiet and mostly keep to themselves. Occasionally I see them and we wave to each other.

Behind my house, I have these neighbours that were initially very noisy, often at hours when you are not supposed to make too much noise. I remember one time I told them to turn down their music, and one of the guys swore at me and made ractist remarks. A woman from the house came out and apologised for her brother's behaviour, so we were cool.

The neighbours on my left used to be quite noisy too, but are now usually quiet.

The neighbours on my right used to be these untidy self-centred people, who would deliberately throw rubbish onto our side of the garbage collection zone (we knew but had no visual recordings of it, so couldn't prove it). They have since moved out and living in that place now is a quiet Muslim family. They seem to be polite and we actually sorted out a problem with the common fence together.

Behind us, the neighbors are nice, but their dogs bark at us. It's okay, though, cuz our dogs bark at their dogs. To the right of us, we have noisy neighbors. Not only do they have a company which includes big, noisy trucks(there used to be trees in that yard before they moved in, but now we have clear view to their mounds of dirt and disheveled yard. Not pretty), but they play loud music and shout a lot. To the left, the neighbors are really nice. They wave to us(well, near everyone in the neighborhood does) and my mom talks to them and he's mowed our easement before(we have a push mower and it is a ditch so my mom has a hard time mowing it). In front of us, the nieghbors are nice, but we have a slight problem with their dog. He's MEAN. And we have various other neighbors with companys which include big trucks. We live on a dirt road, so the roads are all messed up now.

One of my neighbors are mean, they said they'd call the cops if we rode by their yard on the three-wheeler again. But they moved (or did one of them die I can't remember) and I don't know about the new ones. My other down-the-allyway neighbors are nice. They go camping alot so I get to take care of their dogs and cats.

Before I moved: One neighbor was very nice and gave my brothers and I suckers. The other neighbor didn't talk much and my accross the street neighbor's kid threw fireworks at me when I was seven and she turned into a <insert bad word> prep

We have OK neighbors for the most part, but we don't talk to them much. :/
My dad waves to everybody when he walks the dog, though. I'm not quite that friendly.

Don't really know. They mind their business, we mind ours. If we see each other outside we might wave or say hi, but I couldn't tell you their names. They let us use their phone once to call my dad to get house keys when my mom locked hers in the house, but other than that we've never talked much to them.

We have the kind of neighbours who get mad when you are riding free on their unsecured wireless network... If they didnt want people on it, they shouldnt have left it open in the first place.

If its in my house its free game. ^_^

That sounds like typical New Englanders... XP

[Destroyer2000]

Hm...my neighborhood is cool, aside from the occasional idiot on a fourwheeler at three AM. They do get rather freaked out when I go out to train, lol...they aren't used to seeing one or two guys beat each other down with swords, I suppose.

I live in NC. And I'm SnoringFrog, not Zilch.

No worries. I just couldnt resist.

[Tsukuyomi]

I live in one of those neighborhoods like Ed Edd and Eddy live in (smile).

[Aka-chan]

My neighbor is on this board and she's as whack as you get. *hides behind a chair and waits patiently for said neighbor to come by*

[The Last Bard]

I'm out in the country so I don't have too many neighbors. But the ones to our east are an elderly couple, and they've been family friends since we moved here. Like I said, there aren't too many people around here.

[IZ&Trigun4life]

WOW!, I'm going to post here on behalf of my mother. To begin, I live in a surburban neighbor hood with children ages 5-17. Almost EVERY child on this street, except for me is outside at some point of the day making a whole bunch of noise, or tearing up my mothers yard, car and fence! Ok get this, these kids come out ON SCHOOL NIGHTS untill 11:00 at night. NO LIE PEOPLE. And they scream to the top of their lungs and because the houses are so close together, it sounds liekt hey're screaming into mega phones! Also, they run back and forth through the drive way with their bikes and scratch up my mom's car with the handles and peddles. OH..and dont let me forget, they broke a slat on my fence.....completely in half while trying to climb over to get a ball. Did we talk to the parents about it? Yes. Did it is stop? NO! So we have to tell the kids to stop this and stop that constantly and we get their parents mad at us for "yelling" at their children. One situation led into an arguement that was on the verge of a fist fight. (I'd also like to mention that I was picked on terribly by the kids closer to my age in the past. I can't tell you how many times I came home crying)

I'd like to mention that we have prayed and prayed for an end and my poor mother is fed up and has considered moving.

I'd like to turn my post into a prayer request, and ask that this harrassment either stop, or that we find somewhere affordable to move.

I live in a small country town smack in the middle of Maine. My neighbors grow pot in their backyards and get away with it(ok, so it's the people down the road, not right next door). They haven't been home for a few days(thank gosh) but when they are, they are noisy. Parent's swearing at the children, children running around creating chaos. It's a wonderful life.

[QtheQreater]

I live next to a "hermit". He's an old guy that lives in a kind of shack. He didn't even know he could get electricity (or a phone, I think) until my family moved out there and got it. The guy roars up and down the road all day in an old beat up pickup. He ran over my first cat. People out here are soo inconsiderate. Someone down the road lets their dogs run loose all the time. Those pooches killed all my chickens. Ack!
