Do you like or dislike your neighbors?

We loved our old neighbours when we lived a few blocks away from where we lived now. They have a son the same age as our son. They're originally from the town my husband grew up in and her mom use to drive the school bus my husband took as a teen. They're close to the same age as us. A little younger but we got along great. They equally hated our landlord too. hahah (she lived there before we did). So we bonded over that. ;)

They just moved back to the town they all grew up in. :(



At our new place, I hate my neighbour. He's a crazy drunk and is the reason I keep my doors locked at all times. Him and his wife are "well meaning", they act very neighbourly. We are curteous to them and will talk to them when we see them. Last year they gave us tomatoes they grew, this year we gave some to them. His wife will pick up things at yard sales for our kids. But he's creepy and I don't trust him. He makes up strange lies all time. He's implied my husband abuses me? He says all sorts of weird stuff.



Our neighbour on the other side is a single guy who likes working on his motorcycle. But keeps to himself.



We have a nice, elderly European lady who lives across the street and loves or kids, that we talk to when we see her.



It's just too bad there's not many other kids on our road. It's a main street, so no a lot of other families.

I don't know my neighbors. I have purposely chosen to never get to know any of my neighbors I have ever lived by or currently live by because I hate drama and the best way to prevent drama is not talk to other people.

We're at the very end of the street and everyone else seems to be out and about, so we don't see much of anyone from beyond the guy who lives directly across from us, the guy who lives next door, and the couple who lives below us. The guy who lives next door watched me grow up and adores my kids. The guy across the street is so friendly and is always making sure we're doing okay. The people downstairs are iffy - they work crazy hours and then come home and do major projects at even crazier hours - like they were finishing up installing a fence for the backyard at 2AM last weekend (we get to do what we want with the front yard, they have the back).

My brother has some crazy neighbours on one side of his house. They don't keep up their yard and yelled at my SIL when she was pregnant and taking their dogs into the back yard. They also yell at them when my Brother and SIL have friends over.

My neighbours at my parents' were nice, the ones on one side of them have lived there about as long as my parents and my brother and I used to play with their kids.

My brother had a drug bust 2 doors down from him a few years ago. He called me and said he was going to go out and tell the cops he missed them breaking down the door and wanted to see them do it again.

Glad she is not any longer your neighbour! Which makes me appreciate my neighbours more! None do drugs, or crimes and are okay people.

Yeah and I actually helped these people out alot, even fed their kids when she passed out for 4 days after taking a bunch of pills. I learned then to beware of your neighbors!

OMG America... that is a neighbour from hell scenario (gun neighbor)

I lucked out with this set due to the fact I took care of his brother and when we had a tornado and they put in a cellar. They always call to make sure we come to the cellar when a tornado is around. I have had problems with previous neighbors and even been threatned with a gun!

Mine are great at the moment about 8 years ago we had drug dealers next door that wasnt fun but we got rid of them after a year.

One is nice, very nice, we FB, kids hang out and talk and have a cup of coffee once in a while. I consider her a friend. Her husband is also very nice. On the other side of me are a couple with a little boy, they are nice, but consider me more like a dump off point for their kids at times than a friend. Also their dog drives me nuts, barks and growls every time I go in to my back yard. But we have done coffee, had the kids attend each other Bday parties etc. So I consider them friends but not close friends.
I only got a complaint with a couple people who double park their very large vans in the parking lot and one guy who does this and had the nerve to call the cops on me when we had our trailer out doing some brick work on our house! I can't stand him and he knows it. The rest on my block are fine and I can live with but not close to them. Just say good morning, night etc and that is about it.
I will say however I would help anyone out if needed in my neighborhood. I think they would do the same for me.

Well I haven't had the urge to bury most of them somewhere in the hills surrounding the town so I guess they're ok. We do have a couple in the building who are obscenely loud at times, but that's just one out of I don't know how many in the buiding I live in and the one across the lawn where the landlady lives.



Most of my neighbours are ok. We interact with a few of them and my daughter is friends with some of them too. A few of them even have kids that go to her school. I don't really have complaints except with the loud ass ones on the 3rd floor of our building.



DH has lived in the complex for 3 years and there used to be a couple who had really loud sex, but thankfully they moved.

I am indifferent. One side doesn't talk to us and neither does the other side. One side has a really loud hot rod which can get annoying. I know the people on the other side of the street they are nice.

I have some really good neighbors. Can't beat a private community!

I vaguely know my neighbors. The guy downstairs is nice, but smokes a lot (check out the smoking debate on DM). The toddler next door is a cutie, but MAN can he scream... a LOT. Basically except for the smoking (and not JUST the man downstairs from me) and the screaming... I'm neutral.

One one side, is a nice older woman and her mom, they are pleasant but mostly keep to themselvs. On the other side of me is a woman, her alcoholic boyfrined, and her grown son. none of them work and the house is paid but they are constantly telling anyone who will listen that their utilites are about to be shut off. He gets his check, hes disabled, and brags about how he drinks a bottle of vodka a day, yet they cry they have no food. and their dog thinks my lawn is his personal pooping ground. Also I work for a doctor and she has more than once asked if I could get her any "good" pills. I really need to move because I doubt they ever will.

My neighbors HATE us. Their bedroom is right on the other side of the fence next to our patio. When we go out there to sit and let the kids play in the back yard, I get yelled at through the window that they are "trying to sleep" (guy works night shifts and sleeps during the day). Um, really? One night at 9pm my BIL was out there smoking and talking to his GF QUIETLY and neighbor opens his wondow and yells "SHUT THE F UP!" This is AFTER my husband and BIL helped him build his fence the week before. We gave up on them at that point and the relationship is strained. However, we get along with the rest of the ppl on the street. Of course we have to live right next to the people that hate us!!!!

Mostly I've got awesome neighbors. I live in a townhouse complex. There are maybe 3 out of 50 units I don't like. Lucky for me, we're a co-op and I'm on the membership committee. That means I get to read my neighbors applications, interview them, conduct credit and reference checks on them before they move in. If we don't like someone, we don't have to let them in. Rather a nice perk.
