Neighbors: Love 'em, Hate 'em or just Ignore 'em?
 

I've been in my house for six years now & the neighbors are starting to irritate me with little things....nothing major at this point but little minor irritations...like being Royals fans.STFU

How does everyone on the board get along with their neighbors?:hmmm:

Mine are both attorneys, Mr. KChiefs1.

I have no choice but to love them.

i hate the people who bought my grandparents place.
HATE THEM!

I'm mildly sociable to the old man to the north, and barely speak to the weird home-schoolers to the south.

I'm just not the type of guy that thinks that I should be freinds with someone simply due to proximity.

If it's nothing major, ignore 'em....

I don't ignor them, but I have no interest in creating a social relationship with them. All of our friends live far enough away that we see them only when we want to.

This thread is of interest to me because I moved into a new home a little over a week ago. My previous neighborhood was more of a blue collar crowd and was predominantly rentals. While people were not "unfriendly" they certainly did not go out of their way to say hi. The up side to this is that people left you alone and stayed out of your business.

My new neighborhood is more upscale and is dominated by retired or nearly retired folks. People have certainly been very friendly but they are perhaps a little "too" interested in my business. All in all, especially with young daughters in the house I think I prefer the new neighborhood but it does have its drawbacks.

That's what I'm doing at this point...I'm just worried it's the start.:shake:

I hate and ignore them

Mine are hard to ignore when they're having sex on the other side of the wall. Or there's the little yapping dog below me. Or there's the people who parking in an area that's limited in spaces when there's a huge lot on the other side of their building. I could go on, but I won't. I need a house.

My neighbors are all pretty nice. One neighbor has had a few issues with us about minor things that I think are a bit petty, but is still a good neighbor. The others are all wonderful.

Mine are 2 young just-out-of college boys and an old hippie straight from Woodstock.

I get along with them beautifully. :D

Congrats on the new place. I'll keep my schedule open for the housewarming party.

Love thy neighbor as thyself. And not just when they are hot, or supply you with herb.

I'm on good terms with all of the closest neighbors and we all share a common dislike of the one house of unemployed, dope peddaling, shitpigs.

Today, I printed more of the graduation announcements I made for a neighbor girl who sits for us, and I'll help her dad put up a tent for her party in a couple of weeks. Another neighbor is 2 retired teachers, who are nice and we chat if they're in the yard, across the street is a young couple and he's getting me a bunch of free foodplot materials, I enjoy chatting with the Old folks to the North, and the guy behind me used his tractor and dirt pile to help me fill 2 new flower beds I'm building for the wife. This winter, one of them bladed our drive a couple of times.

Before Long, I'm having some of them over to demonstrate my Beercan chicken creations.

Nice neighborhood...nice people. Iowa at its finest.

If we could only get the one house of dirtbags to move.....
