Do They Look Out Their Window Just To See Who Walks You To Your Door?
Do They Eavesdrop When You and your Husband Are Arguing?
Are They Naturally Nosy and Gossip Mongers?
The neighbor infront of my house does all of the things I said above. It's as if they have nothing else to do but observe on the things we do. Once, we step out of the house, they're scurrying to check if we left with somebody else aside from the ones they usually see. If they saw us in the mall or grocery with other than my family, surely, they think I'm seeing another man or my husband is dating another woman. They have very big ears to hear from across the street when arguments arises inside my house. We would see them slowly going out of their house and walking back and forth on the street while sneaking a peek on what's happening within. They would sometimes offer to carry the groceries, so they could get inside and see if I have a clean or cluttered house..
Do you have neighbors that irritates you for being gossipers?

I understand how you feel, eihdra. We did have those kind of neighbors in the old neighborhood where I grew up. Now that I thought about this, it seemed almost everyone who lived in that neighborhood, except for my family and the two other families living next door, were that horribly nosy.
The moment we stepped out of the house, we could feel their eyes following our every move. There's a big difference between sincere, neighborly concern from just being unnaturally curious about your neighbor's every move.
I really hated it, when they would do the same thing your neighbors do. The part where they will walk infront of our house, pretending to be doing something, but was obviously trying to eavesdrop. These people were more content to spend their days trying to learn anything about their neighbors daily activities, just sitting there most of the day, doing nothing. Rather than do something good about their own lives.

Thanks for the BR. 
Oh, yes it is. Instead of just sitting infront of the tv and watch whatever human drama the channels have to offer, they choose the real human drama, just right next door!
Speaking of nosy neighbors, I watched a movie about a neighborhood that seems to know just about everything what happens in a person's life. And it surprises me that a particular group of people knows about the intimate details of this particular man's life, who lives three blocks away from them!They were not close friends, but actually, this man doesn't even know they exist and yet they know what he does and his wife, too!!!Simply unbelievably disgusting.

yes we do and it is very irritating..our neighbors are also our relatives but sometimes being too nosy is irritating..when my brother and i had a fight word spread in our neighborhood and to think they are our relatives! why gossip us in other people? it is a family matter so they should not stick their noses here where they have no say! Even though they are our relatives we still have a privacy that they need to respect.

Before I was live with my father. Our neighboor like to turn on a very loud sound of the television. And they watch TV to the middle night. So we can't sleep well, we always ask them to turn down their TV's sound, but the next day they still turn a very loud sound. Almost every day they watch TV, we will ask them to turn down the sound. Then day by day, we are get used to that sound, sometimes we are turn our TV sound very loud against them.
