Are you being neighbourly?
Jump to: Newest in thread
At the moment no. Bunch of curtain twitching toxic arses. We can't wait to get out the village to our new house ... parochial "your not from round here" attitude
Never had a problem with neighbours until now |

We only have one really. I was neighbourly when I didn’t let the dog eat their ball. We say hi but we aren’t friends or even very friendly lol that’s their fault but we are happy being left alone. |

This is my sixth house, I have always had great relationships with neighbours at each house. Even when I had no direct neighbours, I had great relationships with farmers surrounding me. |

We have great neighbours and we always do our bit. We are getting a tree chopped down next week as it blocks the sun from our neighbours garden...

I always consider my neighbours in everything I do, it comes naturally to me. |

Both sets of immediate neighbours are elderly tome, one side are really cool though, the other side are deaf as door posts and I hear their TV every night ramped up to the max....
Fab meets usually work to stifle that though  |

"I love my neighbours, planning to move soon but I want to take them all with me! "
I have been on holiday with neighbours in the past, I am lucky I am able to build great relationships with most of them. |

I'm semi detached and next door has two young boys that are noisy. I do try and avoid but do take in parcels and lend her tools etc
The other side it's just a general hi. Across the road are elderly and we have offered to help them out if needed and have helped clear paths etc when the weather was bad. |

7 are not huge, you must have a lovely height to match, with legs much longer than my stumps  |

I have great neighbours, when my dad passed away my house was full of flowers, when i was in Tunisia during the terrorist attack I came home to welcome home cards and when my lawnmower broke last summer a neighbour gave me a spare she Had.
Been here 16 yrs and don’t see me ever moving |

Ooooh, good luck. Food and booze is a great way to see your neighbours in a relaxed mood |

On one side yes, they are lovely and we get on well.
You know that every street seems to have at least 1 annoying, obnoxious, aggressive pain in the arse household? Well they live on the other side of me! |

"Is it just me, or do northerners seem to get on better with their neighbours? "
I set out to make friends as soon as I move house. I knock on immediate doors, introduce myself, make a smiley friendly impression. Always wave or say hello if I see them outside etc. Continue to build friendship or friendship as time progresses. |

We invited everyone to our house for a drink shortly after we moved in. We chatted in the street and have offered help where needed. They remain unfriendly with the two exceptions I mentioned. |

I lived on a normal street at one time, I was chatting outside with a neighbour, and saying hello, waving or a quick chat with any one who passed. My neighbour commented 'do you know we everybody along here ?'
I said most of them yes, don't you ? you lived here 9 years longer ? She replied no. I asked if she spoke to any of them if she saw them, she said no. I said there's your answer. She said why should I if they don't talk to me  |

I haven't met my neighbors yet. I'm in a cul-de-sac so after 3 weeks of moving in you'd have thought I'd have at least popped over to next door just to say hello. |

But it is the same for me out shopping or anywhere. I see an elderly person struggling, offer assistance. If I am at a checkout and a mum is struggling to hold her child on her hip and load the shopping on the till. I offer to hold the child or load the shopping. To me it is just normal behaviour. |

Do it, build a good start. Your life will be so much richer if you get on well with people around you every day |

"No we don't have any
I didn't at one house, but still walked to every farm to introduce ourselves, and had great relationships afterwards. "
I used to bake for and help ours out when we had them.
I tried with the people near us but they were not intrested. |

I cut my immediate neighbour's front grass while I was doing mine last year not long after moving in thinking it would be a decent thing to do. They reported me to the council for noise for having my TV on at a low volume one night around the same time (I don't have a sound bar or surround system etc either) and the weird old twats repeatedly bang on the wall if I'm watching TV after 10pm but scurry into the house if I'm in the garden without saying a word to me, then watch me from behind their curtains. I'm not a bad neighbour, I don't make a lot of noise or have people round for parties etc, not sure what their problem is! |

That is good and so do I. I also say hi and wave to the neighbours down the road and talk to them when I see them  |

I've not put dog shit through the letterbox of the arseholes side, so yeah, that's pretty neighbourly of me considering they're cunts of grade A level.
The other side are sound. I let their dogs attack me with kisses

One is an alpha male, always going on with homophobic and racist comments, the other is a really creepy family friend that at his age really should have his own place and a proper job.....needs must though so I'm stuck here for the immediate future  |

I give a smile when I see them but that's about it. I have no interest in getting to know them. I don't like the idea of being really friendly with a neighbour. |

I get on really well with all my neighbours and I help out the ones either side of me. I spent two hours yesterday doing up the girl next door bike because she didn’t have one to play out on. I put their bins out on bin night and I cut her side of the hedge back when I do my side. |

sounds like your looking for a ride at her. I think that it will not be long till you are trimming her bush instead of the hedge lol
