Do you know your neighbors?

Nope. Nobody knows their neighbors anymore. I used to know all my neighbors as a kid. Now, people don't bother. But I know one of my neighbor's burglar alarms goes off at least 3 times a week at 4 or 5 in the morning. And I know as soon as I pinpoint who it is, they are going to know the business end of my foot biblically.
 
Yes, I hang out with my neighbor more than anyone else. He's close to my age, has a daughter the same age as mine, and we both like to lift in the garage or drink beer outside. The neighbor on the other side of him has a son the same age as mine, so I see him a lot too. The dad really only comes over on the weekends though. We live just outside of town and all of us have land, so I really only have 3 neighbors. The neighbor on the other side is around 60+ so we don't hang out. We are friendly with each other.

At my first house, we didn't hang out with any of the neighbors.
 
When I was a kid our street was full of kids running around doing all sorts of shit.

These days my street is empty. The adults say hi to each other and wave but none of the kids know each other and they certainly aren't outside doing anything.
 
My neighbors annoy the fuck out of me. One is about ten years older than me and threatens to call the board if I play my music too loud after 8pm, and the other one and her sister (who are pushing 70) keep acquiring technology - laptop, printer, cell phones, tablets - and breaking the shit then knocking on my door asking if I can fix it. Plus they don't bathe AT ALL (I can smell the stink in the hallway 2-3 doors down) and when I'm over there fixing their stuff, they both won't shut up and they talk to me at the same time about two completely different things. It drives me to drink.

The big problem with them is that they overlook the parking lot, so they know when I get home and a couple of times have sat there by my door waiting for me to get upstairs. Lately I've gotten into the habit of just not answering the door when they knock.

The rest of my neighbors are Eurotrash, refuse to speak English and steal other peoples' mail. One of them is a drug dealer whose wife is a psycho bitch (but hot AF) so every now and then she'll fly into a drunken rage and they'll take the fight out to the parking lot at 2am and I get to watch the cops take her away. The other week someone found that one of the tenants was dead for a couple of weeks and another dude got caught peeping in windows so the cops came for him. Good times

seems like the people who know their neighbors the most are people who hang out outside. i know that seems like common sense but nowadays people go straight to work, to straight inside to watch tv or go on the internet or whatever. probably why they never meet anyone

my sisters husband is always building shit in his garage and waves at cars as the pull into the block, which is why hes the only one anyone knows (and his family that he introduced them to)

thats cool that you got a dirty grandpa neighbor to go to strip clubs with

Agreed it's always the people who hang out outside. There is this one family who is out all damn night. I'll come home at 2am and the garage is still wide open lights on. They have a man cave setup in there.

Some people are just really weird as fuck though and to antisocial. One time this guy is walking his kids and they run into my drive way cause I'm outside with my dogs and they start petting my dog. The dad literally stood in the street the whole time and didn't even come up and say hi. Maybe he was just to high to really socialize (been there). He looked like some thug wannabe white guy. Which I don't care just come say hi when your kids come around dont be weird standing in the street.

We just moved to a new place a few months ago. I'm starting to meet more neighbors. It's a pretty quite suburban neighborhood, at least my section. Our street is a circle and pretty much the only people that drive on that street are the people that live there. A bunch of people in the neighborhood started a monthly poker club, but I haven't participated yet. Would be nice to find someone that buys all the UFC ppv so that I can just swing by with a 12 pack and watch the fights.
 
We've lived in our current home for almost 10 years . . . I know the neighbors closest to us, but we have this one family across the road from us that we see quite often but have never spoken to ever.
 
I don't, we just nod and say hi when we walk out to our cars for work in the morning.
Most of my neighbors are families though, older people with teens, so I don't really make an effort to fraternize.
 
I moved in to a new apartment complex last september (moving again in a month). Out side of the manager I've not said much to anyone there.

There are some crazy metal heads who like to sit on their balcony ever once in a while and get shit faced and listen to music. If I were younger I would probably befriend them.
 
Wall-2-wall from me there are a couple that have a lot of really loud bdsm-sex, like really loud smacking round, rape play and her screaming like a pig when she comes. A year ago I got pissed and started playing the same song every time they would fuck and did that for a month, then the landlord threatened to evict me for harassment so I stopped. Those fuckers ruined a couple of my podcasts recordings and I had to get dynamic mics so the recording would not pick up their grunting.

Above me there is a sikh guy, He's cool.
 
I live in a nice suburban area, mainly white and some Asian...I have no clue who my neighbors are...
 
Yeah I know quite a few people from around my neighborhood. Living in small town Ky though everyone knows everyone. All the neighborhood kids always coming over wanting to ride my go cart, golf cart, and other toys.

Are they hot
 
The only neighbors I knew in my townhouse was this 3 generation Filipino family where it was a late 20s couple with a toddler and the boyfriends 50/60s parents

They were really cool and their townhouse was set up where if you park in the lot instead of the garage they'd have to walk by my patio where I would be chillin with my ex some nights. I would invite the dad/grandpa and son to stop for some beers. Sometimes they would take me up on it and we got along really well.

They would always have family gatherings at their house and after I was neighborly to them, they started inviting me (which I never went to) and bringing me leftovers. Idk who you are but if you bring me fresh homemade BBQ once a week, im your friend

After like a year, I finally found out the son used to play super smash bros really competitively like I used to, so we would play every once in a while

They eventually moved out though and were replaced by fobby Chinese people who try to rush to their door to avoid saying hello etc. they suck compared to the family that brought me food and played super smash with me :(
 
I just bought my first house Monday, but I met the neighbors when doing the home inspection. They seemed alright when I met them.
