The People in the building are busybodies

Did you try to get to know your neighbors , Winterose ? Maybe you can start with saying Hello, good morning and polite words. Maybe you can start talking with them sometimes, but, don't gossip. I have a neighbor friend and he has some other neighbor friends, so, I can join them when they talk, I hang around the neighborhood with my dog, I go to shopping. That's very easy to see the bad things in your neighbors and to complain about them. Maybe you can find things you have in common and talk about them.

Wow! I wouldnt be talking to her again. I mean if you guys were out there for a few hours talking loudly then sure I may say something and if it were all the time. Guess they dont have anything else to do, and need to start things. I wouldnt last long there, I like my quiet, and being by myself not being bothered.

It seems they have so little in their lives to entertain them that they need to gang up on any newcomer. I hope they settle down soon and find someone else to pick on.

I actually moved from one place, because I had a psycho old b*tch next door. She drank heavily, wailed randomly and would scream expletives at people. The place wouldn't put her and her husband out--only their drunken son--even though they were well within their rights to do just that, so I left. I say that if your neighbors are going to be busybodies, give them something to busy themselves about. I'm not above giving people a reason to talk.

So must be living in a building full of grouches! Just don't be bothered with the old folks. They tend to get irritated with a lot of things.

INdeed,some people are busybodies. They like to detect others' business. When they are free they often talk about others, giving their unfriendly remarks. I dislike them . So i hate to be with them . Today i am free and i have no place to go to but i don't want to be with those biddies, so i wander on the playground myself.

Hi Winterose Unfortunately when many people live together conflicts arise. Either party can be unreasonable. I often hear people yelling, talking in a loud voice, running in the halls late at night. However, I do not open my door and complain. My neighbours though think I am a trouble making old biddy. They park their bundle buggy outside their apartment door. It is against the rules and violates fire safety rules.Imagine if we all parked buggies, walkers, strollers in the hall. They also open their door and prop it open with a shoe when they cook curry or other pungent food. My door is directly opposite from thairs so the smell comes directly into my unit. I have complained numerous times about this. Again the rules state all doors must be closed at all times. It is fire safety. There was a dog in another apartment that dog barked incessantly. This is supposed to be a no pets building. The neighbours complained and the person either had to get rid of the dog or move. Why should people put up with inconveniences like that when they themselves do not break the rules?

Oh my goodness, what kind of neighbors you have - I guess I need to stay indoor and keep my door/window close forever
