I just met my next door neighbor yesterday. I have been living here six months and I have been meaning to go over and say hello for a while now. I knew she was an elderly lady living by herself. I don't think I would have went over other wise. I don't know the people on the other side. There is an empty yard in between us so we are not so close together. The lady across the street keeps two of her blinds up about one or two feet and her little dogs sit in the window sometimes. DH noticed that, I can't see that far. But we live on a highway so I'm not going over there either. How about you, do you know your neighbors?

I do know alot of my neighbours and they all seem nice.I do try to keep myself to myself as i find that way life is a lot easier.I do say hello and stand and chat them always asking how the children are as well as how i am.Once one of them came round as they had not seen me for over a week,they also always chat to my children.

It is good that they cared to check when they did not see you. I am like you and keep to myself as a way of life.


myLot reputation of 94/100. devideddi (438)   ranked 2,518 out of 38,421 in life  3 months ago

well, that makes three of us because I also keep to myself.
and I agree, that was good that they checked on you after not seeing
you for a while.

I live in a complex of apartments of two rows.. the doors to each row line up with the others. There is maybe 10 to 15 feet of space in between the two rows, so it is pretty hard to NOT know eachother. Alot of us share food and conversation. My grandpa does more with everyone because he is the manager. Me, not so much because I find my neighbors TERRIBLY OBONOXIOUS. lol.

lol, I think it is so interesting to hear how someone else lives when it is so different from me!

Hubby knows them better than I do. Only two others own houses on this block, the others rent. Hubby knows both sides of us to visit, I know them to say Hi, mostly. One across the alley and on the end I have known for a really long time. Our back yard goes to an alley and the parking lot for my church, so yes, I know that neighbor really well.

I know my neighbours but i dont know their names. I hate our neigbhour who bought the lot in front of our house. He has put a very small pathetic apartment there where 16 families live in. There is no electricity and no water also! I so hate that neighbour because he did not put comfort rooms in the apartments such that their tenants pee in our gardenbeds! i hate them so much! I will definitely report this to our municipality! He will never pass for a building permit! i am pretty sure i am not the only one who wants it demolished. You know.. the place is so unliveable, their tenants oftentime sleep outside the lot! Dang! i hate it! he sure made our subdivision looked ugly!


myLot reputation of 94/100. devideddi (438)   ranked 2,518 out of 38,421 in life  3 months ago

omg, this is awful! I would hate it also. That is unsanitary and people will begin to get sick from living like this. Yes, do report this!

Yes i know all my neighbors around us. Let's see i have a drunk beside me on my right. I have a drunk directly in front of me. Beside them i have a couple that thinks they own everything even if it is yours. Then to my left i have a couple with a whinning son and twins boys with a weirdo husband.

So that is my neighborhood. I have been here for like 15 yrs off and on. I would get tired of putting with the drunk neighbors and i would move for a while and then move back. If i moved i was having to pay rent here i own this house.

Wish i could pick this house up and move it to the country.

We too have lived in our house for six months now. And I know a lot of our neighbors but then again there are just as many of them that I don't yet know. We've known the couple on the one side of us since before we moved into our house because they were so kind to us when we were looking at buying our house and remodeling our house (we've owned it for over a year and a half now). The neighbors on the other side of us, we haven't had the opportunity to really get to know.
Our house is on a court and so I consider everyone on our little court to be our neighbors. We have about 14 houses on the court. The people at both corners at the top of the hill we do know as they both have children close to my daughter's age whom my daughter plays with almost every single day. Then another family just moved this week out of state but they also had a son that was a couple years younger than my daughter so we got to know them. That's about all of the neighbors that I've had an opportunity to get to know. My daughter, however, has also made friends with many of the older neighbors as well.

hello there!

when i was still living in my hometown, i know almost all the people in the neighborhood! its only because i grow up in that place and i saw them and know them since i am a kid...and most of them are also our relatives...
but now that i am living with my husband, in a place far from my hometown, and we always moved from one town to another, i barely know my neighbors! huh! i just know a few from them because they have a store where i always buy some things that i need and when i go out i always pass by their house...i just know them by their face and just greet them hi or hello whenever i see them...but no real talk! huh!
i am already one year from where i live now and few months from now, i know i ill be moving again...so time to meet new neighbors again...:-)
but i believe that it's important for us to be in good terms with our neighbors... happy

have a nice day...

it is such a pleasure knowing neighbors.
I have known my neighbors right from my kindergarten days.. I have so many memories. We were a big group of people right from punjab n karnataka and tamilnadu.. Pleasant it was. Enjoyable moments.
