i don't really like most of my neighbors because they are nosy and try and talk behind your back about things that is none of their business(like if i had someone come at 10 o'clock last night)they would talk about it the next day and if i have a pet running around outside they will complain until i put it up or something like that...but they can have pets running around all over the neighborhood(even in my yard and i dont say anything about it)and i don't understand why they are like that because we own the land and the house that we are living in...so i was just wondering if you all like your neighbors and if you don't why don't you like them...thanks for reading my discussion!

A few months ago I moved to a high rise in Baltimore, and I love all of my neighbors. Im sure that it has alot to do with the building too LOL. When i lived in PA you could hear people walking upstairs and music coming through walls. Now in my new place I cannot hear anyone around me. I love it, and it makes becomming friends with my neighbors so much easier.

Hi When I had a double house unit I was renting I did not like the couple who lives next door to us . With a double you have to share porch space , and yard space . They took over everything , and never let us enjoy ourselves . They even used our side of the house for the holidays for decorating . We even had a talk with them and the landlord, and that did not last long . The worst of it was they had 6 kids and they would all play in our side of the yard right under our window , and it was super annoying . The couple always faught , and had music , and dogs barkig which was not allowd . They actually were thrown out a few months later because of the pets , who tore up that house. Never did we ever rent a shared unit or an apartment .
Many years have passed and we have a house . Our neighbors seem to be okay , and dont start trouble or our too loud . Everyone near seems to show a form of respect . On the right side of me we had an older women who hardly came out of her house , and when she did we would go over and sit on the porch with her and gab . She has moved in with her sister since then , and we will be having a newley maried couple moving in with in a week or two . I sure hope things work out there . Then to the left of us we have a huge family with kids, but they are so nice and the kids are the sweetest . Across , the street we did have a drunk lady who would scream and fight from time to time , but thankfully she is moving soon . You just never know sometimes .

I really don't have too much of a problem with my immediate neighbors, however I have a relative that lives close by that is having similar struggles as yourself. There is a problem with some dogs that are running too free in the neighborhood. And maybe somebody that likes to gossip. I myself don't like to participate in it. I just listen and go back to my own routine and try to mind my own business.

I've been living in the same neighborhood for roughly 25 years yet believe it or not, I don't even know most of their names and considering that this is a small town where virtually everyone knows everybody, it's almost taboo!
I'm not really extremely introverted but our house is situated right beside the main street (I know it's not an excuse :P). I guess I just can't be bothered.

I only like a few neighbors that we know and particularly dislike two neighbors along our street.. I have even started a discussion inquiring about how members here in myLot would deal with such neighbors with a given situation..
I dislike them for being pretentious and not paying what they owe to my mother.

I don't particularly dislike my neighbors but I try to stay away from them. They are weird and nosy but I just let them be who they are. By keeping my distance, I save myself a lot of grief. Cheers!!

i live in an apartment right now and i dont like my neighbor. Well the thing is she NEVER comes out like i have only seen her 2 times since i lived there. But she is nasty. very nasty when me and my boyfriend come home at night from work there are bugs coming from her apartment and when we open our front door they try to run in so its so nasty and i hate bugs so when i find them in our apartment i freak out! we keep our apartment so clean like dishes done laundry done everything picked up so i know its not us. We always see them on the walls at night in the hallway by her door and its so grosse just knowing that so ya i dont like my neighbor.

Your neighbors sound like they don't have much going on in their lives so they have to stick their noses into everyone else's. I have to like my neighbors because most of us are related in one way or another. We bought our property becuse it was next to my husband's brother's property so we own two lots starting on the corner of one street and my husband's family owns lots from the corner of the next street most of the way down that road. My husband's brother lives on that block and his nephew lives next door to him. My daughter and her family live on my other property next door to me. The nephew's wife's parents live across the street and down a little bit. The neighbors that aren't related to us are nice and have lived in this area for many years so everyone knows everyone else pretty well.

I live in a compound with apartments owned by my grandmother.. Half of my neighbors are relatives, half of them are paying tenants, some I like, some I don't.. This is the place where I grew up and I love the neighbors I grew up with.. But the new neighbors, I HATE THEM! The make the place ugly.. They just throw their trash (candy wrappers, etc.) on the ground.. They're so noisy.. They always get drunk and strangle each other afterward.. And a lot more.. I don't wanna enumerate it coz I'll just be pissed..

Our neighbours are fine,we have a quiet little road and the neighbours are quiet too.We dont have a great deal to do with our neighbours ,we pass the time of day with them and just maybe take a waste bin in if they are away or they will do the same for us.I have never neighboured ,its more trouble than its worth,it will inevitably end up with a fall out.But if it is all kept platonic then there is little chance of that happening unless there is a distinct clash of character.I have always said that I would hate to live in an area where there is a residents association,and they have meetings,and everyone discusses everyone elses business.I once lived in a neighbourhood and belonged to the Neighbourhood watch and there were meetings to attend,well my partner wouldnt go,so I felt I had to go,and you always felt under scrutiny.So I would rather stay as I am,independant,yet surrounded by people ,thats quite comforting,as long as they arent noisy people lol.

I like my two direct neighbors on either side of me. I am not chummy with them we do not hang out together but we get along and I know I can talk with them. The neighbor directly across from us is ok. but the neighbor beside him is so friggin' annoying. He pesters everyone. He lets his dog run loose in the neighborhood. He thinks he is the expert on all subjects. Once he catches you outside he will talk and talk and talk. the only good thing is he tends to stay in his house a lot. The neighbors that used to live beside him (renters who have moved)were a bunch of criminals they stole the above ground pool before they moved they never paid thier rent (we know the owners) and there was traffic going to and from that house at all hours of the day and night.

I can't say i dislike my neighbours because i have never met them. My previous neighbours moved out a month ago and i have never seen my new neighbours. The neighbours who live under are really loud sometimes, especially when they fight.

I dislike only 1 of our neighbors, maby its because there like 90 but they always stare at us when ever were out side. of when we go get the mail from the box he's right there staring out his window watching us. its kinda scary and kreepy.
and along with the dogs our yard is fenced in so we dont have to keep then on a leash. we have 3 of them so they bark while there playing. and hes called animal controll on us and said our dogs were out of controll.
its crazy

No, no and no! My neighbor is an idiot. He has 5 cars, trucks and snow plows parked on the street around his house (he owns a landscaping business) and puts one car in the driveway. The other night someone parked in front of his house and he had the nerve to arrange his trucks so that the other persons car was locked in. In the process of doing that he made sure to tap the other neighbor's car with his big truck. What gets me is that he has a driveway to park his monster trucks in. GO figure. We have baby boys the same age, it's sad but I will not associate with them at all. Should I tell the other neighbor what happened to his car? He did not even know what happened as the other neighbor moved his monster trucks the next morning to go to work? I don't know the whole thing, was not cool in my book!
