Do you get on well with your neighbours?

I used to live in a condo complex where my wife and neighbors would get into it all the time. Most of the people who lived there, did not care about the place. When moved out and bought a house where we have yet (knock on wood) to get into any disagreements with any of our neighbors. Most of our neighbors have been helpful in taking care of pets or watching the house is secure when we go somewhere. One of my neighbors helped me move a gutter on my garage the other day. It was causing his back yard to flood a bit and he could have so easily told me this was my problem. Instead, he was helping me. Or I should say I was helping him as he had the knowledge of how to do it. I help the gutter and handed him the pieces need most the time.

I don't really know my neighbors. Everyone kinda stays indoors and keeps to themselves. I've talked with one of my upstairs neighbors a few times and he seems pretty nice. I hate the fact that he takes his dog out at 4 in the morning, though. Not a big deal really except that I have to hear the dog run down the stairs that run against my bedroom wall. Then I hear the neighbor stomping down the stairs only to hear it all over again when they go back up. It's incredibly irritating and they wake me up every morning. Worse than that is "Old Leadfoot" who lives right above me. He's some old guy who likes to stay up late, but he makes a lot of noise walking around his place and doing whatever it is he's doing. That's even MORE irritating. I can't sleep with him up and walking around. *sigh* I heard him come home at 12:30am the other morning. And again (another morning) walking around at 2-something in the morning. I can't wait to have my own house.

We don't talk to our neighbours, our neighbours don't talk to us, everyone keeps themselves to themselves, which is exactly the way I like it, no one gets involved or knows your business! Our neighbours are quiet you don't hear loud music and they do not even acknowledge you in the street.

lol Hi Rhino Well in the old Place I got on ok with the Neighbors that I wanted to There was a bad lot living there as well Here I speak and say hello to People but I keep to myself I will talk to other Dog owners who walk their Dogs My Landlady I will talk to as she lives here to As for Elephants well they just live their own way and they don't want to know so I leave them to it They don't really speak to anyone in the Village As for what you did good on you as they should have the decency to keep their dog of your Lawn or at least come and clean it up

I'm pretty lucky with most of my neighbours and we get along just fine. However We have a *problem family* in the street who cause a lot of hassle for us all. Their kids terrorise the neighbourhood on minibikes and a quad bike (illegal on the roads) the parents spend a lot of time sitting in their wreck of a front garden drinking and playing loud and usually bad music, the house and the front garden are filthy dirty and the little problem is awful. The kids on the minibikes cause most of the trouble though as our street is a bus route and it is an accident waiting to happen. A group of us went and spoke to the family and got a barrage of abuse so we have been in touch with the local authority about the family and, with any luck, they will either be cautioned, or removed totally.

when I was a child I also new all my neighbors... and I have a lot of friends from childhood and many beautiful memories... it was a really great time... but also a lot of fights with the elder neighbors:P... like a lot of childhood stories...

i'm doing fine with my neighbours... i and my hubby live on a flat and our neighbours are quite friendly and OK in my opinion... hopefully it will stays like this for a long time...

I get on fine with my neighbours. I wouldn't say we are close friends or anything, but we've never had any disagreements. We always stop and say "hello" if we see each other outside, and we always keep an eye on each others' houses when we're away. I don't think I would want to be too "pally" with neighbours, because I'm a person that likes my own space too much, and I wouldn't like the idea of someone too close popping in all the time, or being "over-friendly", but I think we have got the balance just right, and have no problems.

I am very lucky that I live in the country now. I have just two neighbors who live close to me, just down the hill. We get on fine. The rest of the homes by me are second homes and the people are only there weekends in the summer, so we have very limited exposure. The ones I do know I get along with just fine. I prefer it this way to when we lived on top of each other in the suburbs of New York City.

They really look nice and friendly but i don't talk to them for no reasons. I don't have guts to open up,i guess..and so are they.

One set of neighbors are really cool, they are an older couple and kind of have adopted my son as one of their grandchildren. The set across the street, well you just replied to my post about them lol. The boyfriend that lives there is an idiot, he's always outside hollering about something, my husband and I have both had arguments that it's not okay to be loud at 2 a.m. when you live in a subdivision where people like to sleep!

What do you think? We slam the door on each other as soon as we are aware of the other's presence. If they see anything they don't like about us, they will complain to the town council without even having the courtesy to let us know themselves.

Barring one,we have very warm relation with all other neighbors.We don't meet regularly but are secure in the knowlegde that each one is there for the other in times of need.Our children play together every day and feel free with each other's parents.Overall a very warm and friendly environment we have.

I love my neighbors I actually am very grateful and lucky. I am out of town often visiting family while my husband is deployed and they watch our house, and keep an eye on it. I am actually getting ready to leave again and my neighbors offered to get our mail if we needed it but I am putting a hold on it. I am very happy that we have such great neighbors for even bbq and stuff like that they are always invited. We were going to buy a bigger house but I told my husband no because I don't want to chance not having good neighbors like we do now.

I get along with all of my neighbors specialy the old lady next door to my house shes very nice to my family.

i will treat people as the way people treat me,if he is friendly and zealous with me,i will visit his house and contact with his some time,and if he ask me a hand to help him,i will do well.we don't like narrow-minded man,i see that he will have no friend,and in his life full with hatred,so we should careful with this man.

Here people are very cold to each other. Everyday we open the door and go to work. After work then we go home and shut the door. We don't spend time to communicate with our neighbours. Last year my neighbours was a family with a little baby girl. Since my son was also a baby at that time. We often said hello to each other and their little girl even went to my home and play my son's toys. This year they moved out and someone moved in. Since that, I have no idea how my new neighbours are.

I believe that a person should be always nice to his neighbours as man is a social animal and needs people's assistance at any moment of time...so one should annoy their neighbours but one should realize them if they are doing anything undue to you......i hope that the other person will also understand and respond in the same manner....

well i dun find much time to spend with my neighbours...but somehow i manage to meet and take care of some neighbours...we do borrow and lend alot of things....if i have some special dish or one that my neighbour likes, I share it with them...at any time i can call them for help...if its to move some heavy stuff or if i need pick and drop service or any help in carrer or studies...they are really a blessing of God

MY neighbors and i get along well, in fact whenever one of use goes out of town, we look after each other's houses.
