Are you friendly with your neighbors????

[Juicy D. Links]

I wave at em and say "Hi" for the most part except for the pricks in back of me cause they call the cops on me every July 4th

[BlackCrayon]

i don't like being too friendly with the neighbors. next thing you know they are asking for favors, bothering you with stupid stories no one cares about, you can't escape them. i'll say hi but thats about it.

[Jarmusch]

Depends on how 'friendly' you mean

Only two of them. Fuck the rest. My neighbor quota has been filled.

[FetishWeb]

Talk to the ones who understand respect, sure.

The ones that don't, who cares?

[LeRoy]

I try to keep it on the DL.

My last neighbor always came by smoked my weed. WTF?

[ArsewithClass]

Were friendly with our neighbours next door & up the road, across the street & even the roads surrounding. Its a lovely neighbourhood we live in.


Only earlier today, I was helping the next door neighbour place in a metpost fence post.

[punker barbie]

Punker ... I love the way you think!

[Barefootsies]

Nope.

I lived at my old place for like 10 years, and only talked to my neighbors if they were on the sidewalk at the same time as me. Lived here for three, and other than occasional wave from one of them, I do not talk to any here either.

[Rochard]

Neighbors on my right are Cuban, great people really. Amazing food.

On the left is my Mexican whore landscaper. Renter. Moved in, extended the driveway all the way to the property line so he can park his fleet of trucks there. We quickly ended up in court; Outside of the courtroom we've never said a word. This has been nearly two years now. However, I think it's over - His house was raided a few months back. Everyone who lived there was arrested, including the mother of his newborn child and all of his staff... All of whom were in the country illegally. He's in trouble too for running a business illegally, no license, no nothing.

Other Mexican family across the street, nice guy, Afghan family.... Keeps their yard clean, always smiles at me.

[Jon Oso]

I've met a few of them, don't remember any of their names and don't say anything to them if I see them. I might smile and wave but that's about the extent of it.

Most of them have complained to me about my car being too loud. I told them to eff off.

[Klen]

In shortly no.

[GirlV]

Not really. my neighbor lady is a bitch who lets her dogs shit in my yard.

[Roby]

i do not know thems

They probably don't like you cause you're the "weird guy" who is always looking at their feet and is like 40 still living with his mom & pops

[BarryP]

I only make friends with the honky ones... you know, those george bush loving lifted ford diesel driving giant flag toting folk. They always own guns and seem to be the best ones to watch my back and property. Of course this means I can't wear GFY swag out front, but whatevs

Good thing is these simple minded folk never ask anything after I reply "I work in web development" -- they just get too overwhelmed, their expressions are priceless

[L-Pink]

I get along great with all my neighbors .......


.

[Va2k]

Yea Next to me is a great guy that has helped me out on a lot of things in the yard and boat etc. down the street another great one same thing as the first one, the ones on the right of me are good people but are heavy into god and church but good folks!

[DateDoc]

I talk to one of my neighbors regularly. The others seem to come home, stay inside and not venture out until they leave in their car again.

[Loch]

I have a rule where ever i live, well ok a few
I call it the Naked screaming man rule!

1. If i can see a building or house from my porch i will not live there
2. If anyone can see me on my porch or anywhere in the garden i will not live there
3. If i can hear naighbours or kids i will not live there
4. I need to be able to drop out of bed, light up a smoke on the patio naked while scratching my balls and yawning LOUD

[J. Falcon]

I'm very friendly with my current neighbors because they are nice people and always respectful. But I have had neighbors in the past that I just wanted to kill.

Your all doing better than me. In 1999 when I had good fortune with Playgal, I noticed new neighbors (guy and a girl) move in. One day he is sitting outside. I could see him but he couldnt see me.

He had this butthurt look on his face AND he was staring right at my window and me. He couldnt of known I was there but he already made up his mind I was no good. He was really angry. One of these angry guys. I had a gut feeling this guys is trouble. Long story short a couple years later he sucker punches me hard in the temple. I had some brain swelling next day. Luckily only a tinch.

Maybe someday I'll tell the whole story as it is something else. Still lives there. Even tho we apologized to each other it is still real uncomfy living by him. He is still a dick. But hey someone has to live next door to the dicks of the world I guess.

One of these guys who marries an ugly woman cause she makes good money and now he gets to not work and stay home. True. I could write a book on this clown the goofy shit he has done.

Then this is the kicker. Last year he moves out after 10 years. YEAH!.
The house is vacant for a year and the house does not sell. Guess what, a year later he moves back. NOOOOOO! You've got to fucken be kidding me? No.

This is why your luck should always be middle road. When it swings extremely one way (1999 Playgal), ying and yang have to make sure it swings the other. Just a theory.

Things are better now as he approaches 50, mellows hopefully and the worse is behind.

I know he doesnt read this as his name "billsmith.com" is STILL available. hehe He is lucky I am such a nice guy.

He is way too big a meathead to use a computer.

Dude, you kind of ramble on here...could you be a bit more descriptive? Like whats up with playgurl? Were you in it or something?

And what's up with this guy cleaning your clock? Did he think you were some freak watching him?? I'm confused as to why he hit you.

Sure. I won some money from Playgal (a now defunct sponsor) in 1999. I have told that story sev times b4 and hate to rehash it again.

This happened sev years later where he hit me. No he didnt know I was looking out the window at him, this was right after they moved in in 1999. I noticed he was trouble just from looking at him that first time. You ever get that with someone.

Was making the point that altho I won the money in 1999 I also had this nightmare move in as well. Ying and yang luck.

Like I say maybe someday I'll write the story. Suffice it to say we had a neighbors difference. He was 100% in the wrong but I got other shit to do now.

Define obsession.

[Vjo]

Short story Dean: My cat took a shit in his yard. Yes the same one who was sprayed by skunks three times (another thread). He's a feisty little cat and I love em

One morning he banged on my door threatening to kill my cat as it had either been shitting or maybe just running in his yard. Well one thing led to another. And he says come out into the street and lets settle this. Mind you I had been up working on the puter for 14 hours before this. I go to bed in the morn lots of times.

So out into the street we go. I outweigh him by 100 lbs but I am also getting old and slow. But I have to defend my cat.

Dean, If I knocked on your door RANTING and SCREAMING about how next time I WILL kill your kid (cat) if it ever walks on my yard again, what would you do?

At this point fact is I dont like the guy and he dont like me for whatever reason. As you can see I am a sweety. So whats not too like.

Well before I know what happened he takes me down.
Little did I know the guy was a state champion high school wrestler. I kid you not. Prob lightweight or so. 140-150 little guy but good. Now Im a 47 y/o man at this point. So I immediately say thats enough. Im on my back.

Dean, I was friggen doing html one minute and literally out in the street in front of my house on my back the next. Within 90 sec. This is how fast life can go bad!

So I tap as it were. Suddenly while on top he just fucken nails me in the left temple with his right hand. Right cross. My glasses fly 30 feet across the road. I should have faked convulsions and made him call an ambulance.

But he was smart he lured me into the street. On my own property he would be in legal trouble, in the street he is not.

Well cops gave him a verbal restraining order but I still have to live next to this asshole.

He was wrong:
1) For coming to my door and instigating it.
2) For knowing he was going to take me down for sure and ground and pound me. Guy is almost pro at that level of competition.

So hey i smile but the cat has had a lot of pain.

Looks good loch!

Self fulfilling prophecy perhaps, people can feel it when you don't like them.

Perhaps to a degree. Mostly tho I think one time my cat was in his yard and one of his little dogs came along and surprised the cat. Well the cat, as cornered cats will do, may have gave the dog a quick nip and then split.

Now that aint right but for fucks sake. Cats will run. Dogs will bark. I listen to all his dogs barking he can put up with my cat running in his yard once in a fucken while. Fuck him. So yeah I am not innocent but you just dont confront people at their door that way screaming you WILL kill the cat if it happens again.

It escalated. I should of never left the house but as Dean just said at the moment your parenting as it were takes over and you go out and try and talk sense. I mean you cant just leave that go. Cause he may indeed kill the cat.

Later he apologized for cococking me. All is cool now days.

But deep in my psyche I still hate him. I hated him for a long time after that as I felt I was unfairly treated over a simple thing as a little cat in the yard. Like I say I felt major swelling in the head the next day. Swelling of the brain. He caught me good. I mean cmon. Over a little cat.

Cats dont shit in the open so I think its only crime was being startled by the dogs that one time and walking once in while through his yard to get to a woods. You think that cat is going to look at that woods all his life and never go over there.

People are assholes. A lot of them. Simple as that.

[Vjo]

Ya know if the guy wasnt such a deusch and got a real dog maybe my little 10 lb cat wouldn't be picking on his little yip yappy, girlie man dogs.

Waaaaaaah Your cat is picking on my dogs. Waaaaaaaaahhhhh! (Bring back Artie Lange!)

Vjo the neighbor issue is a sensitive one for me, I won't bother with getting into it but have had a few real class acts. One of the downsides of home ownership I guess, best bet is just to step back and ignore.

Thanks man, its all cool now. Eh sometimes things just dont go right. If I didnt let the cat wander around it wouldnt have happened.

But conversely am I going to keep my cat inside all his life just so some asshole wont ever see a cat walk in his yard.

People are too uptight now days. Where I come from noone cared if a little cat wandered thru the yard once in a while.

This guy was NOT orig from MN. He is from Wisconsin. Booooo. J/k WI. Actually he was from way southern WI down just north of Chicago so lets blame his lame ass on IL.

Up here we call it Minnesota nice. A native Minnesotan would never have been an asshole like that.

It's true. You betcha.

Fucking cheeseheads. =p

I'm blaming him on IL tho since WI is a little too close to home.

[bhutocracy]

On one side we had an 89 year old war veteran who we'd occasionally go over to visit and have him drink me under the table on good scotch. Really sweet guy to us although he had a bit of a mean streak in him to other people apparantly.. but then again other people are douches so I don't blame him. I'd chat with him and help weed his garden whenever I saw him, which given my hours I can't say was overly often, but still. We bought him a nice present for his 89th.
We knew he had cancer but he'd had it for over ten years.. we knew he was getting treatment up the coast but left a note in his door to contact us as we were starting to get a little worried we hadn't seen him in a while. One day i see his only relative and find out he's on death's door in hospital so I race over.. i'm about 20 feet from his room when I decide to buy some flowers at the supermarket 5 min away.. I was gone maybe 15 min.. when I came back with the flowers there was a nurse outside his door and she shook her head at me. I asked stupidly if he was asleep. I broke down. How fucking stupid not to have known. But we weren't family and he hardly had any either so there was no one to really contact us. Can't believe I missed him. He was going to leave his cat to us in his will and some money to take care of her, but his relative put it down, presumeably to take the money.

Now the people that live there after his house was sold are complete trash and whose incessently barking dogs make our lives a sleepless living hell.

One night I hear a scream for help.. I run outside with my baseball bat and see a girl on the corner.. I run over to her and she says her boyfriend has been beating her. I ask where he is and she says "behind you" I freak out and turn around ready to swing but he's actually about 30-40 feet away.. He sees the bat and says a few drunken things and we walk her to my parents house. We find out the domestic I've just hero'd in on was from our next door neighbours on the other side - the block of six apartments.
They are the only people I know in them and very occasionally have loud parties till all hours on innappropriate days.

I can't believe I went from having a really good neighbour you could have a drink with, sit around listening to war stories and who was always trying to help you out with a bit of second hand building material or something to fix your house to cunts on both sides I wouldn't use for bulletproof vest testing. Third neighbours that are a little futher away are nice though. The one on the opposite corner to the dogs apprantly has a gun and wants to shoot them so she's roughly my favorite person in the world.

[cam_girls]

My last house I stood at the window giving him the finger yelling what a fuckhead
he was.

This place is worse during the day, I wear industrial headmuffs most of the day but
at night it's safe to open the balcony and listen to the waves.

(did I mention listening to the waves...)

Nice post man. That gen was the coolest it is true. Just plain good people.

Same thing happened to me. I had a nice older couple as neighbors. Fellow dies so wife moves, now the new people also have a dog that barks at me all the time. They are cool and bring it in tho if I am out there.

But yeah seriously I want to start a thread on barking dogs. I will take 24 cats. One walking thru my yard every hour of the day (which I wont even know about) rather than a constant barking dog. So fucken annoying.
Most dogs bark when the owner is away more than while they are there so the owner doesnt know.

I recorded one neighbor's dog and then went over and played it for em. I mean it was so bad I could here it constantly inside with all windows up whatever for like 3 hours straight. You can only take so much of that.

I mean this thing was a big fucken dog like on pcp and meth barking from the time they left till the time they came back.

Luckily most a-holes tend to have bad karma, shit happens and they move on. Hopefully yours will too.

[Chosen]

It depending on the neighbors. If your neigbor is an old alcoholic it's hard to be friendly with him all the time...
