Poll of the Day > Are you cool with your neighbours?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Some of my neighbors are complete jackasses. One is from the church of Scientology, another is a fucking gangster. I know many of them. Are u cool with your neighbors?

i dont talk to them. They park in front of my house sometimes
---

I don't know. I never speak to them.
---

Yea.
---

Neighbor to the left is cool, neighbor to the right are haters. Don't know anyone else enough to judge them.
---

Yeah they are a nice Nepalese family and they have a daughter thats around 2-3 that is absolutely adorable
---

Yeah, I talk to all of my adjacent neighbors when I see them and and friends with one of them.

Hell yeah, I love my neighbors.

Not sure about everyone else in the neighborhood, but the neighbors are cool as shit.

Are you cool with your neighbours?

On one side we have foreigners with kids who make a lot of noise talking in their own tongue and/or the kids making noise also the oldest daughter playing shitty music loud but they are nice enough to talk to and the oldest daughter is hot so eh.

On the other side he's nice enough the odd time I've talked to him. My only gripe is when he's out at work or out with the misses he leaves his dog locked in the kitchen and it's always barking. He does this quite often.

In conclusion my next door neighbours are fine it's just the noise that I find irksome. I suppose that's not surprising coming from someone who likes their solitude though.

Makes sense, I like solitude too but I make it a mission to go out frequently.

Yeah I should really start doing that more.

Nah

At both houses they are terrible people

I used to like the one neighbor at my dads house until she made me an offer of 70k for the house. It's listed at 109k and that's a bargain just to get it sold. I laughed and asked her to leave.
---

Yeah, they are all family and we don't live close enough to see each other.
---

I barely see or talk to them, so it's great =p Nice change from having hyper-social neighbors who would ambush you and, when they had you at their mercy, barrage you with a super-long talk where you'd be unable to awkwardly excuse yourself to do literally anything else =x (as well as ones who would routinely have stupidly loud parties). The ones I've met are all friendly enough, although a few aren't terribly bright

Granted, one of the newer neighbors in my area has almost run me down a few times while driving home at night so... that's no bueno.
---

Most of them

One house over is a guy who goes out of his way to look better than me (I mow my lawn, he goes out and does the same, the in laws have their motor home parked next to our driveway, he goes out and buys another vehicle) and his 3 dogs are **** heads who bark in the middle of the night if they hear the slightest thing

Another one 2 houses over (trashy, probably a hoarder looking at all the **** in his car port) thought it was a good idea to do a burn out in the front of my place in the middle of the day.
Been meaning to pay him but just got a new car.. guess that means the idiot next to will get one too.

Everyone else is fine, the neighbor on the other side has a son that shares my name so sometimes we get each others mail, but we're cool about it
---

neighbor on the right is cool. They have lots of parties so it gets a little noisy some mornings, but they are really nice so I don't mind. The neighbor on the left is a terrible neighbor. She constantly calls code enforcement if she thinks my lawn is too high, even when it obviously was just mown. She also keeps banging on my fence with a hammer to aggravate my dogs. She might just be one of those lonely ladies, but there are better ways of getting human interaction than antagonizing people.

This. I don't even know their names.

I like the ones to my east, indifferent to the ones to my north, and absolutely fucking loathe the ones to my south and west. The ones on the west aren't bad people (the ones to the south very much are), they just have an annoying dog that they'd let bark constantly. They were genuinely apologetic when confronted but still didn't do anything to solve the problem until animal control showed up one day (they'd gone out and we had to listen to it for 5+ hours straight). Reporting anyone for anything here is a lost cause (the southern neighbours neglect their dog and it'd be dead by now if other people didn't look after it half the time. Lots of people have complained but they're like "meh" and leave it there).

I was about ready to (not really) throw a jug of antifreeze over the western neighbour's fence after 2 years of angst gradually built up to the point I was literally going insane and popping anxiety meds because of constant chest pains and other symptoms related to how loud and constant it was inside the house with the windows closed. It sounds like I'm being overdramatic, but I tried to just not let it bother me and treat it like no big deal, but unless you've experienced it yourself, you will never know the horrors. It was basically hearing it over anything else going on every 15-45 minutes for about half an hour up to an hour. For two years.

1 of em no, but most are good. Maybe that's how most people are. Do you go over your neighbors' houses? I really don't

yeah this is a huge one, neighbors with noisy dogs.

I was going to make a neighbor topic, but you did it instead...

I like my neighbors. The ones to my left (looking at the front of the house from outside) are pretty cool. I met them when they moved in after the guy's mom passed away. He's also the manager at the laundromat I use. And he let me know one night when my dogs escaped the backyard. And helped me wrangle them up.

The neighbors on the other side are nice. The lady of the house works at the plasma place I sell my plasma to. Ever since then, we seem to see each other more and are a little more friendly. Haha. My neighbors, and nearly everyone in the neighborhood has a pet. Mostly dogs. But a few have cats, as well. Or both. Lots of outdoor cats, though...
---

My neighbors are fucking scumbags but so am I. Are we cool? No. Are we cool enough? Sure.

what if your mission is in solitude?

My nearest neighbor is about a mile away.

Live in a 9 place condo, am condo president. Have no issues with any of the people here. Have no issues with neighbors across the street. So I'm happy with all my neighbors.

Well, that didn't sound unhinged at all.

Sounds kinda awesome, tbh, although I imagine it means having to drive that much further to do anything.

The neighbor in the other part of the duplex is annoying and a pain. Shes a meth head and relapses all the time. Yesterday she came by while I was working on my deck and mumbled something about how she thought I was beating my wife. Then she sat down in my yard and started yelling about loving Jesus. She also had a hospital admission wrist band on...

The neighbors in the back apartments are fine. One is overly friendly, but thats not her issue. One of the other ones is a cat lady and we talk to her cats all the time. Though she never gives me the mail that goes to her house.

The rest back there are fine since I finally got them to stop parking in my spots. Had one woman argue with me about it until I showed that my address, not theirs was painted on the ground. I told her I was being nice in asking. Next time Ill just have it towed.

Used to have a nightmare neighbor when we first moved into the back apartments. The apartment I was in was vacant for 6 months, so she decided that my spot was hers. I asked her several times to stop parking there. She started calling in fake complaints to management. She even came to my door with her husband in tow to try to plead to my sensibilities. Too bad I dont have them. But cant you see Im pregnant? She asked. Is it mine? Wha... no!? Then why should I care? Her husband was aghast at her actions the whole time and looked embarrassed.

She also kicked her cat out when her baby was born. When she moved she abandoned it too. She also started feuding with her downstairs neighbor. Installed a super bright spot light on the bottom of her deck so when the downstairs neighbor came out to smoke it would blind her.

is ziggi your neighbor?
---

We're pretty cool.
She found a stray cat she tried to pawn it off on me, but my gf and I already met it and gave it some good petting before.
---

I'd do the swap tools and borrow a cup a sugar thing with most of my neighbors, sure.

There's a doctors office and an apartment complex but that side of my property is blocked by a fence.

It's about a half mile walk just to pick up the mail and about a 20 minute drive to reach the nearest Walmart. On the other hand, I can go outside completely naked any time I want. (And in years when we have corn, I can do anything outside.)

Housing is so cheap down there.

As soon as they get rid of their damned dog that they put out at night so it can bark at every hydrogen atom that passes through the yard, I will be cool with my neighbors.
---

Our neighbors are close enough to be useful but far enough away to not be annoying, so yeah, were cool.
---

Don't know their names, don't talk to them. Occasionally say hello to them if I see them. They don't blast loud obnoxious music or anything like that.. so that's fine in my book.
---

Yea, my neighbor on the right side has like 4 kids who usually play in my yard. They are all good kids and he talks to me regularly when I go get the mail or am mowing the lawn. My neighbor on the left is a quiet divorced woman, don't talk to her a lot but she also doesn't bother me. Her dogs are kind of annoying (and love barking up a storm at my dog) but they never did anything bad. My neighbor across the street is the neighborhood "patriarch", he has been there since the housing track was built some 38 years ago. He also has a hot rod shop so he constantly has some pretty awesome cars in his driveway.

Only neighbor I don't really like is the one behind my house (who I usually don't see due to the trees), he keeps his dog out all the time and it is constantly yelping to be let in.
---

One neighbor is a cool old guy that rubs a lot. The others are dipshits with confederate flags on their big diesel trucks. They like to do burnouts in their driveway and roll coal.

No, i think one of my neighbors stealing my mail :/
