| tell us something about your neighbors
So we all do it, peek over at the neighbors when they are out side to see what they are up too, or we just realize that they have some crazy ass things that they do, or they are just 100% wierd.
please report your findings

well my "neighbors" currently are Afghan local nationals, and taliban terrorists. Its hard to distinguish between the two, unless they shoot at us.
The locals though, they do very peculiar things. First off, they build their houses out of mud, they dry cow shit on top of their mud houses, then they used the cow pies to make fires, they then cook their food over the cow pie fires, and eat the food after.

Our neighbours copy our landscaping & annoy us asking advice on our projects around the house. They have no imagination so they are going to have a house that is just like ours  They also have a really ugly car, but I like then sort of

my neighbors all mind their own business. Ever sincw the guy accross the street shot and killed an intruder last year, people just stay to themselves for some reason. I don't think the "stay away from my door freak or I'll blow your friggen head off" sign would be a problem. |

I like my neighbors. One side is a young couple that always say "Hi" and I have enjoyed several beers with the gentleman. On the other side is a multi-generational hispanic family that I never see or hear a peep from. Across the street, very quiet neighbors. Only time I see them is when they drive home and open the garage door from the car and pull into the garage, then door closes. I have no ideal how many people live in that house. lol

The following was sent to me by a friend. Just seemed appropriate for this thread
My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.). So this past spring I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to make me take down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such action without a court order and that he had to file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed by the city attorney to see if it violated any city, county, or state ordinances, which if there was a violation a court order would be sent to the offending party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days". After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made him madder. I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even more angry. I then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea Party rally but again he declined my outreach efforts to bring about a better understanding between political and social opponents. I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome. Maybe I'll ask him if he want to go deer hunting, which opens up November 1st, you know, just a bunch of guys running through the woods chasing Bambi, then sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows, drinking beer, and singing our favorite country songs to the accompaniment of Jake's harmonica (he is a better lawyer than a harmonica player but don't tell him I told you). I even made him a bumper sticker and that pissed him off too! Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how's about yours?

Most of my neighbors are great, but unfortunately my upstairs neighbor who I share the garage with is an absolue nut case. I've got an entire laundry list of things she's done over the years . . . everything from spraying vinegar on people that smoke outside, to spiting on my motorcycle when I left a note asking her to take her trash out to the dumpster when the garage started to stink, to her threatening to call the police when the outside light bulb burnt out. Good times . . . in a condo environment, I'm learning that it really only takes one bad apple to ruin everything.

I am generally a friendly and sociable guy with my neighbor's, but after my last neighbor's and what they put me through when I was selling my house. I now keep to myself, a smile and wave when I or they drive by that is all.

My neighbor on the north side is great. It is an 80 year old woman, who's husband died a couple of years ago. She met another man and married him about a year ago. He lives 60 miles away. Well he's not in great health, either, so she decided to keep her house, didn't want to rent it out. She lives in Little Rock and her house here sits empty with the heat and air conditioning running, and someone comes by once a week and does the lawn.

well the majority of my neighborhood all work for some form of "the company" but that is pretty normal living so close to dc, dont really know much bout them. then there is the corperate take-over lawyer next door, him and his wife are a bit nuters, but its fun. and then there is the mexican diplomates behind me, they have lots of parties. and there are the state department ppl on the other side of the house. they are nice. and we have a couple crazies to. when i was younger and used to hang out with some of the neighborhood kids, one of them left something of his outside, so his mom went around to all of our houses yelling at us saying we stole it. while she was in the middle of yelling i slammed the door in her face, she knocked again and my mom answered, listened for like 2 seconds and slammed the door in her face again. then told her through the door that if she did not leave our property we would be calling the cops and have her arrested for trespassing

My neighbors are awesome! The kids couldn't pronounce an R. They would say twubble instead of trouble so we named my wifes jeep twubble and bought license plates that read "twubble". They were watching us take the top and doors off my YJ one day this past summer and they looked at each other and said "thats just fweaky" so my jeeps plates read "Fweaky". I was joking with them the other day and told them to come up with a name for my motorcycle and a few days latter they come running over and said that since it was hard to ride a motorcycle, I should name it Twicky so i ordered the plate.

They are truly the best neighbors I have ever had. Every time he sees me out in the garage or yard he stops me and asks me if I want a beer. tiny babysits their dog from time to time. One of the first things they did was give us a key to their house. They seem to be very trusting people.
His wife and tiny sat in the driveway on Halloween and handed out candy as I kept them supplied in mixed drinks. Last night I helped him change out the headlight on his pickup. It was really only a ruse. We drank beer and listened to country music and the light just happened to get changed. That's another thing I admire about him. Do you know how pressed you are to find another country music fan in SoCal?
He's always giving me stuff... Fire wood for the pit, an extra oil drain pan he had, a cool wagon that just needs a tire. And like I said, just an all around good guy, a "gentle"man if you will. But these aren't the things that make me feel all warm and fuzzy. See, my neighbor (like most of us military guys) never talks about his service in the Marine Corp. My friendly, outgoing, kind, gentle neighbor was a Marine Corp Scout Sniper and made a career out of it. Yup, I feel nice and comfy in this house what with having tiny registered with the state as a lethal weapon and having him next door. We sleep with the doors open and all. I just wonder if he feels comfy about having a crazy ass medic next door?
Now, my neighbor to the left is a whole 'nother story. He's retired Navy. 20 years retired Navy. And can hardly speak English. A hell of a nice guy. And so desperate for everyone to know just how proud he is to be an American Citizen. Not so much in the "killing" and "weapons" department but was a radio technician in the Navy. So if I have CB problems, I know where to go! |

My Neighbor is now in a pissing contest with me...he bought a Porsche. But its only a Boxster S, and its white....so
I win.
I'm about to move though...so I don't know what the new neighbors have to offer. I've seen 2 SRT8's (a challenger, and a Charger) so it may get interesting. But they were a cpl doors down...the next door neighbors garage is hidden (sort of), so time will tell if I like him. hahaha Quote:

my neighbors to the left of me are cool actually know them from way back and its were i got one of my pups. was helping him install a clutch yesterday. and to the right is a young couple that don't wave or look at u or talk to u. kinda nice but also kinda makes me mad like their to good to say hi at least. the whole block kinda looks down on the house im in because the landlord does not keep up the place enough. and all the dirtballs that lived here before, actually almost got shot in my own house when the neighbors in my house (its a duplex ) got raided. cops found nothing but they had a pit and they decided that the dog was vicious and shot it.(note this was after they shot the house full of flashbangs and tear gas) along with the ceiling and the floor and the wall dividing my house f&*king cops.

My neighbor on one side can't keep his lawnmower in his own yard. His 2 sons and wife can all mow the grass just fine, but he has issues. I've learned to let that slide - if that's my biggest complaint I'm probably better off just keeping my mouth shut. But damn, I try an keep my lawn nice, properly cut higher grass in perfect lines and he takes his mower and scalps turn marks 4 feet into my lawn. The rest of the family is great and I hope my son grows up as well as they've raised their high-schooler.
My other neighbor is a hot little blonde and her live-in boyfriend. They're new neighbors and cool so far.
My favorite neighbor is the one behind me. He put up a 6 foot privacy fence and maintains it nicely. You know what they say about good fences...
