What are your neighbors like?

[mars 4,863]

I never talk to my neighbors, but they play loud Spanish music every saturday and always seem to be throwing huge parties.
Actually, I do have this one neighbor. She's a blessing and has been a family friend since like... forever. She plays the piano, which is really nice to wake up too.

[Draxon 214]

I live in a small apartment building, and have had very limited interaction with my neighbors.  Most of them are much older than I am, and the walls aren't thin, so it's pretty quiet in here, although sound travels easily through the doors.  I see the one directly across the hall from me most often.  She's really nice, but very reclusive.  She always has a "do not disturb" sign hanging on her doorknob, and has told me she deliberately avoids telling anyone anything about herself.

 

I do have a bit of a problem with one of the neighbors, the other one who lives across the hall.  Although she's nice, she has a couple of really annoying tendencies.  First, her door isn't set properly in its frame, and she won't get it fixed.  Every time she uses the door, she has to slam it repeatedly for it to fully close.  But the worst habit she has is the way she does laundry.  We have two washers and two dryers on the bottom floor.  If it's her laundry day, she'll go down first thing in the morning, load her clothes into one of the machines, even setting the quarters into the coin slots (for the dryer, too), and then let it sit there for HOURS.  I mean, she sets it up at 8 am, and doesn't start the machine until 3 pm.  Which means that I have to wash either my colored or white clothing, put it in the other dryer, then wash the other half of my clothes, and then start the dryer, wasting an additional half an hour of my time.  I can't tell you how many times I've walked downstairs with my laundry only to proclaim, "I knew it!  I ****ing knew it!!!"

 

I swear, my next apartment will have its own washer and dryer in the unit.

I actually do not know any of my neighbors and I have lived at my current location for 11 years now.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I barely know my neighbours, although the ones to my house's right always seem to be building stuff.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

We only have this nice middle aged couple that we talk to sometimes. We could've done a lot worse. (And have) We also live in a new estate, so there are constantly ongoing construction sites all around our house which can get annoying at times, but they should cease soon.

[Skye 463]

The family on our left side recently moved out (they were wonderful people).

 

Other than that, we have a nice, big family to our right. They always say hello, which is kind.

In front of us, we have an older man who used to live with his brother in the same house until he passed away due to cancer. He's a nice man. His brother always used to talk to us.

Diagonally right of us are these hicks. Blegh.

I don't know the family diagonally left...

[Clawdeen 15,618]

I don't know. I never talk to them

[daviddaviddavid 776]

I live in a top floor apartment, so I can only really speak about the couple that live below me - they're nice enough, albeit a bit loud whilst engaging in their intimate activities. Sometimes I can hear them when I'm trying to sleep

[Dreambiscuit 10,246]

I live on the second floor of an apartment building and my immediate neighbors have come and gone. But they are uniformly horrible. For reasons I can’t even begin to fathom, they ALL seem to take some perverse pleasure in pounding against my bedroom wall at all hours of the day or night. And I mean taking a running start and crashing into that wall! They don’t ever seem to sleep; either they do it in shifts or subsist solely on cat naps so they can maximize their noise-making potential. If I pound on the wall to give them a heads-up, they pound back as though I’m the one annoying them! Some of the stuff I’ve heard through these paper-thin walls I can’t repeat here, but it’s not a pretty picture. I have an elderly lady who lives downstairs and I never hear a peep out of her. She’s always sweet and friendly to me and all the rotten little urchins running around the grounds. For some reason people from older gens were raised to be considerate of others. Too bad that no longer applies. 

[Magpie 623]

Loud, they fight alot, and they have an aggressive dog they treat badly.

I live on the second floor of my apartment, so these are the people below me. I every so often hear loud swearing matches from the two of them at 1-2am, which certainly doesn't help my insomnia. The guy that lives down there is always sitting on the sidewalk giving me looks I don't like when I go outside, too. He just makes me uncomfortable. 

My BF unfortunately had to kick their dog because it lunged for our dog's throat, because they refuse to put it on a harness or something. I feel bad for that dog though, considering they keep it locked in their bathroom for most of the day.  I can tell because it's constantly up against the window snarling at people who walk by.

Most of mine don’t interact with us or they always go somewhere far away so it’s like they don’t exist. The nice neighbors we have always end up moving.

[Clawdeen 15,618]

I wish they wouldn’t park on the road as opposed to their driveways, It’s such a pain dodging cars at night. Especially when it snows and stuff. 

[Splashee 28,568]

Neighbors can be so  annoying I don't want to talk about them.

[Tom Gallagher 33,599]

Quite deaf because they never let their barking dog in.

I hate when people do that too. People park like that everywhere at my grandpa’s neighborhood and it drives me crazy

Even worse they do it right at the entrance to the development so its a tight squeeze getting your car through. Tons of people have complained about it but they still do it anyway.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

The neighbors on one side we barely see, and the ones on the other side is obsessed with taking care of his lawn that he doesn't take care of his home. That neighbor also has a barn that is falling apart, and a good enough breeze looks like it'll knock it over.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,134]

Dunno, I never talk to them.

[TBD 17,257]

my new neighbors is mmkay- just a bit too boujee  and "white". Funny they all have dogs, so like every time I would go out in my backyard to tend the garden, it always smells like dog shit. But overall, some are nice-except for one

[Lord Chin Chin 1,211]

Idk just normal elderly people who seem pretty nice dont see them much and when we do its just small talk mainly 🧓

They did give me a slice of birthday cake the other day tho 🎂🤗

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,011]

My next door neighbor is such a sweetheart. Always says hello and volunteers to help us out when he can. 

[Phosphor 11,532]

Tall with dark green needles and cones... pine trees 

[Splashee 28,568]

My closest and most annoying neighbors haven't showed up for over a year. It is so nice and quite

[ExplosionMare 18,092]

Practically nonexistent since I hardly see them

[Lunaholic 921]

I live in block of flats so I run into them quite often. So far everyone have been very nice. Next to me lives an old man in wheel chair so I often help him if I see him in trouble. At least I try to be a good neighbor
