LOL That was good. I dont really know my neighbors, but they seem pretty normal. Middle aged couple with school aged children.
LOL. Sounds like it's party all the time up in there.
Our neighborhood is pretty tight. I like them all, and they are all mostly normal although some are a tad snooty.
Well we live on a dead end with a farm on one side (no homes) and one other home on the other side. We do know the people in the home, we invite them to our parties and they invite us to theirs. We also help each other out when we can. They are very nice people though in a bit of a different place in life (have two small kiddos). As for the farmer, we see him visiting the horses and he sometimes stops and talks as well, though I guess, he's not a neighbor since he doesn't technically live there!
I know the neighbors on one side smoke a lot of pot. I also know that only his name (lets call him Dave) is on the lease, that he cheats on, lets call her Kimmie, and that he gave Kimmie HPV and now she can't have kids. They still have loud sex in the mornings (so unpleasant to dress to), but luckily it doesn't last very long.
Their fights are epic. She moved in with him 3 years ago...I kind of want to tell her "Dude, he isn't going to marry you, so stop arguing about committment! He doesn't want any!" I saw them in the elevator a few months back, Kimmie was gushing over a neighbor's baby, Dave looked disinterested.
I am really hoping they break up so we can buy their apartment and break down the wall....
Haha nice. We know our neighbors because they are my in-laws. The one's we're not related to we know by what pets they have. We're all always returning dogs, cats and chickens to each other...
I live in an apartment building in NYC. I know that there's two guys next door to me that do something akin to bowling each evening. They play loud hip hop, but turn it off by 8 or so, so I don't care.
The girls that live below me are the loudest most annoying people ever. Also, they put their trash indoors with the recycling when it clearly goes outdoors.
I don't know anyone else, but I've only lived here for a few months.
@Rubies: Your neighbors are hilarious:)
We are all pretty close. We live on a culd de sac and our kids play outside together almost everyday. We have bonfires at night in the summer and card nights at each others houses. We are really lucky to have such a great group, if there is an emergeny we always have someone around to help out.
This April will be 4 years in our current condo and we don't know a single neighbor. I've thought about trying to organize a meet and greet but then I remembered that I don't really give a shit about these people.
I don't really know my neighbors. I know there is an Asian couple who live directly above us and stomp around at all hours of the night (seriously, the girl must be 100lbs soaking wet, I have no idea how she stomps that loudly). Partially above us is a man who is in the middle of a midlife crisis. He drives a Camaro and is always blasting some sort of hip hop music while driving through our complex.
We live in a triplex, so a house with each floor being an aparment. Downstairs lives a 70-ish Italian grandma, and upstairs is her brother ("Uncle Tony"). He's pretty quiet, but she is crazy! She has a super yappy Jack Russel that barks ALL THE TIME, usually starting up around 6AM. She is always yelling - yelling at the dog, yelling on the phone, yelling at Uncle Tony. It's nuts.
She always pokes her head out her door when we come home and yells at us in Italian - she thinks she's speaking English but she's really not. And she's not usually mad when she yells at us - usually it's to give us some home-made wine or a cucumber. So random!
Apparently it could be worse, though. The people who lived here before us had a kid and she would come upstairs all the time to see how the 'baby' was doing. Seems much more meddlesome than just peeking out her door at us!
We've lived in our condo 3 years and we don't know any of our neighbours. Person on our right drops stuff in their kitchen area (I think?) all the time. People on the left are super annoying and their dog is really loud and barks early in the morning/all day!!!!
It's been a long time since I lived in an apartment, but the people above me used to "throw dice" across the floor. Honestly, NO IDEA what they would be doing up until 2 am, but it seriously sounded like they were thowing yatzee dice across the floor. It was weird. In that same apartment the guy to my right was a biker with tattoos and crazy hair and a chihuahua hehe. The guy across the hall I only ever saw once when I had to move my couch in and needed to manuever through his apartment. It was so smoky you couldn't see three feet in.
We live in a developing townhome community, so every couple of months there is a new row of homes and a bunch of new neighbors to meet. We do HOA meetings every couple of months so we're all familiar with eachother's faces. For the most part we're all friendly with eachother, except for the people who live directly beside us and the older couple from GA that live beside them on the end... The older couple feeds raccoons and it's caused a bit of animosity amongst the people who live in our row. Other than that it's fine.
@takemyhand: Holy crap! Years ago, I had a neighbor who would the same type of thing thing! Every night at around 7 or 8, can't remember now, it sounded like she would scootch a kitchen table across the floor for about 3 minutes. Literally every single day. I still have no clue what she was doing.
this is hilarious! i dont know my neighbors well at all. we only do polite hellos. i live in a garden style apartment so i know who lives in every apartment, as in what they look like and how many people live in each, but i dont know anyone's first name. i do know last names, but only because it's on the mailboxes!
dear apt above me: you either own a wii jumping jacks game or have a pet elephant.
dear apt below me: i hate you. your dog howls like crazy and i can hear you having sex!
dear apt to the left: you guys are okay, but you have the apt i initially bid on so i have a lovehate for you.
dear apt to the right: let me know if you ever need a babysitter. question: how can you have such loud fiestas and salsa parties with a brand new baby in the apt??
dear crazy person on the third floor: you are SERIOUSLY creepy and i make all the effort in the world to avoid eye contact with you. id also appreciate if your drug dealer wouldnt accidentally knock on the wrong apartments at 4am.
@Diet Coke: I always wanted to be a fly on the wall and find out what the heck it was tha twas happening! I tried to guess for about a year and ended up agreeing with my ex (bf at the time) that it had to be dice because I couldn't think of anything else.
I wonder what your neighbour was doing in the chair...... hmmm...
Growing up I never ever knew my neighbors. My parents just aren't very neighborly... lol. Now we are the middle townhouse in a group of 3, and we know our neighbors fairly well. Both sides are AWESOME. We don't hang out or anything (not much in common!), but we get along with them and help eachother out when possible. Last week while we were on vacation one side took out our garbage and the other snow-blowed our driveway :) We're very lucky.
I am very good at keeping notes. I know my neighbors.
The guy to the left of us works at night and brings random man back home with him. I just want to tell you I know what you are doing in there when the music is turned all the way up.
The people across the hall from me I know very well. I wen to school with the youngest daughter and she is my wine buddy.
The lady that lives next door to my high school friend is a total weirdo. It is not cool you let your kid play in the hallway with his friend from downstairs.
The couple below me really make me sad. I know you are not speaking in English but I can hear the hate you have for your wife. I wish the wife would just leave and never come back .
To the guy on the 1st floor. If I was single you would totaly be my crush.
I know all my neighbors and I wonder if they know so much about them....LOL
@takemyhand: LOL, that thought did run across my mind. I initially heard the "ahhh" after I ran into the bathroom from bringing in groceries one day. I had to pee SO badly and didn't want to use the public ones so I just waited until I got home. I dropped my purse and keys in the hallway and as I flipped on the light, I heard it and I was like, "EW! PERV!" but then I started hearing the distinct sound of urination.
My theory is that he can't tear himself away from the video game long enough to hit pause and pee like a normal person. Since I've been unemployed, I'm home A LOT more and it happens several times throughout the day. I hear the video game stop abruptly and he runs (sounds like an elephant) to the bathroom. I go into my bathroom and can hear him, he flushes, and then about 3 seconds later the game starts back up again. It's the strangest thing and makes absolutely no sense to me - you have a working toilet, you don't have to hold your pee!
He also does laundry at 3AM and runs his dishwasher constantly. He's got a "lady friend" who comes over for about an hour at a time every few weeks. I don't know if she's a hooker or what, but it's all very strange. He's older, too... maybe around 60-ish.
@OttawaBride2011: That's great to have neighbors like that. Growing up, we all knew each other, too. One guy had a snow-plow so EVERYONE loved him and he'd swipe out our long driveway in a matter of minutes vs. nearly an hour for us to shovel it.
My brother once cut his wrists and arms by accident -- messing around with his friends and banged on some glass that shattered and he was dripping in blood. It was the summer so my mom was at work and the neighbor came rushing over with towels and calmed everyone down, took care of my brother, etc.
We helped with each other's yard sales and baked goodies for each other and took pictures at Halloween with all of the kids and their parents standing up behind them. We never had block parties or anything like that but everyone was so nice and the literal borrowing of a few eggs or cup of sugar happened, too. I miss those days.
I just moved in on Friday, so still haven't met or heard most of my neighbors. But the guy above me thankfully has the same schedule as us and similar habits. When we are watching TV in our living room, so is he. He gets home from work and goes to bed around the same time. Our ceilings are pretty high and I can't hear anything other than muted footsteps. He must have had people over on Saturday because it's the only time I've ever heard more than just one person walking around, but they went out by around 7pm thank goodness! I was so nervous we were going to have a partier directly above us..
The lady in the front street facing unit on the first floor already complained about us to management. Nothing we did, but our movers apparently didn't have someone standing in the front doorway 100% of the time and she didn't approve. She had her apartment on the market until today.. no buyer, she just took it off.
This is soo funny!
Im in the process of moving, but this is for my condo:
Family in the townhouse to my right: I find it really annoying that you bang on the kitchen wall every time I shut my mircowave! I just dont get it! I can also see you peeking through the blinds to spy on us coming and leaving and you are very creepy. I also hate how you randomly sing weird music at the top of your lungs directed at our thin walls.
Old Snookie neighbor to my left: I hear you having sex and its gross. Your kids are loud and bump the music way to late
This is what I would think they would say about me and my DH: YOu guys stomp up and down the stairs way too much. Your cats are wicked annoying and constantly throw things down the stairs and run after them until 6am. I can hear you having entire converations with your cats while taking showers and its weird.
LOL!!!!!
At my current place, the house on my left is foreclosed on, and apparently has some major issues with mold, my guess it will sit empty for a long time.
On the other side, they are weird. Not bad neighbors or into anything illegal, just weird.
The house that lives on the other side of the alley, well, they need to stop throwing their garbage behind my storage shed and have their kids stop eating my berries and fruit from my yard. If they would ask if they can have some, I wouldn't have a probelm, I just get really annoyed when I pruned a huge raspberry and gooseberry patch, and have them eat them ALL! One day I went outside, the bushes were FULL of fruit, the next day I went to pick them, and I hardly got a 1/2 cup of fruity goodness. Also, those bushes are not easy or fun to prune, especially when they hadn't been done in years and have huge thorns.
Now, back when I lived in apartments and dorms.....
Once while living somewhwere with porches for all apartment units, my upstairs neighbors had a party, and then I discovered broken bottles and cigarette butts on my porch. I was ticked and ready to turn them in, but they came by on their own and picked it all up.
I also had a mom and her son as neighbors, she was ALWAYS yelling at him and calling him stupid. The kid would often have to hang out in the hallway, because he wasn't allowed in for a while when he made her mad. When that happened, I would go out there and just talk to him. (He is a kid in one of my work programs).
I also had a lady above me who would vacuum at 10:30, every night. 10:30 on the dot that machine would be starting up. And it wasn't quiet.
Oh, and for a couple years one of my apartment neighbors was the exact double to Milton from Office Space. Talked the same, dressed the same, looked the same. He was really nice though, and I always wanted to give him my red stapler.
bwahahha!! this made me laugh!!! we live in a house and were best friends with the neighbors on our one side, we hang out 1-2 times a week and do date night with them on sundays!! the older couple on the other side is nice too and kind of nosey but i dont mind them. and the ones across the street are always running around with their two kids. :)
We're on the end of a unit of town houses but here goes:
Dear Next Door Neighbor: Seriously, must you bang on the wall at midnight every night? I really don't need to know you get it on in every room in your house. And keep your crazy grandma inside, I really can't stand to hear her shrieking outside. And really, who lets their kid out at 3AM to giggle in the street as you say goodbye to crazy grandma? Others like to sleep thank you very much.
Dear Neighbor Across the Street: It is illegal to park in front of a stop sign. I do not appreciate your party crazed friends lining our road and blocking the stop sign. I hope for someone to hit you when you do this. There is a field 150 feet from your front door. Have them park there. And if you block my garage, I'll have you towed. Again.
Dear Cat Lady across the pond: KEEP YOUR CATS IN YOUR HOUSE! We are NOT cat people and do not want your feline friends sitting on top of our cars. If I want to leave my windows down when my car is parked in my driveway, I should be able too without the worry of your cat climbing into my car.
Nope. I moved in my apartment in November and not have met one single person. I've said hello to the guys next and below us. That's about it. Only thing I know about my downstairs neighbor is that he likes to blast his music with a lot of bass and play Call of Duty. He's constantly in and out as well.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I moved into my apartment several months ago and literally have not met/talked to a single neighbor yet I feel I know some of them well and know several of their schedules.
To the guy directly above me: I know you like video games but when I can tell you what your apparent favorite game is and that your high score is close to 600, it just might be on the tad loud side. Also, you may want to lighten up the amount of liquids you consume; I hear you urinating and yes, I hear the "ahhhh" when you apparently hold it in too long and have to jump up from whever you're sitting and run into the bathroom.
To the girl one-up and one-over: It's not cute when you come stumbling home drunk with a new guy (sometimes two) every weekend. I do, however, like your boots...they are very cute.
To the couple one-up and one-over on the other side: I hear kiegel exercises will make you last longer. Seriously, I'd be disappointed with your performance too. Perhaps that's why she's always yelling at you? Then again, with her constant berating you, I'd probably go limp myself.
To the old lady across the lake/pond thing: Yes, I did wave at you when I realized you were peering at me through your vertical blinds this summer.
To the guy across the lake/pond thing: Thank you for taking your shirt off when you're doing Tae-Bo at 9PM with your blinds open. I do appreciate it. :)
How well do you know your neighbors?
