Discussion of the Day
What kind of neighbors do you have?
Liliana S 122268419-May-23
Some neighbours are friendly, some are not. I prefer to chat with the friendly ones and respect the others.
My next right neighbour (when you face the house) is hard to see, she's never home, but we chatted twice. The one on the left, with 2 young kids, is very friendly but private.
What about yours?

      • My neighbors are great we all get along because we respect each other's boundaries, culture, religion, values and lifestyle. Each to their own is my motto.

        • I don’t see my neighbors as I am confined to the house due to mobility issues.
          ·
          • We bought our home in 2019 and moved here permanently in 2021. Both houses each side of us have been empty the entire time! We get regular people there to put bins out and do gardening but that's it. Perfect neighbours!

                    • We have a mixture of over 55's in our complex and I swear most of them are hermits. But the only one I talk to, is a lady that loves gardening she grows flower, and I grow vegies mainly, so sometimes we swap, I give her veggies and she plants a pot of whatever she finds cheap at Bunnings in my garden, all I do is water and provider the gardner for both of us, and we share an afternoon cuppa and biscuits when the weather is fine

                      • I live in the country and can’t see another house from where I live. However, we are friends with all our nearest neighbors and get together regularly for cookouts, etc. we have to help each other since other help is very far away.

                        • I have some very nice neighbours, it has taken the guy directly opposite me a long time to speak, but I persisted (didn’t give him a chance to ignore me), and I won him over.
                          ·
                          • Our neighbors are not friendly, even if you say a friendly greeting. Nothing major. But they glare at you like you have thrown eggs at their windows. It's the oddest thing, bc I am very cordial and ask how people are doing and no one is going to change that about me.

We swap produce, pet sit, have a yarn and the occasional drink, just help each out when we can. We’ve got a nice varied skill set and good variety of tools that get borrowed amongst each other too!

                                    • This was a new estate so we all moved here together and were all very friendly but over the years houses have changed hands so the kinds of people have changed as well. We are on speaking terms with the house next-door, hubby has even shared a beer with the husband but the boy never speaks. There is a driveway on the other side with 3 houses which have changed hands many times over the years. The family there the longest are very nice with very nice children and the husband has done some stone work for us over the years. The occupants of the other 2 houses are cut from the same cloth and seem to feel they are better than everyone else. They leave their bins out in the street for days at a time, even leaving them on our driveway. The mail hangs out of the box for days and the newspapers lay in the street as well. Back in the phonebook days the new ones were out there for so long I put them in my re-cycling bin eventually. The neighbours on the other side of the driveway are great. We spend lots of time with them, attend shows with them and have even holidayed together. The people in the house next to them are very friendly and will do a good turn if you need one and our other lovely neighbours that we spent lots of time together suffered a loss recently when the wife passed away from Mesothelioma. I was very upset about it but even more so when I received a card in her hand writing thanking me for being her friend. I was the fortunate one to call her my friend. We do have another neighbour we call friend but she has gone a bit weird since Covid and rarely wants to go out. She last went out with us just before Christmas.

                                        • Different strokes for different folk. I have had all kinds of neighbours ad the are not a problem as we were all busy. A tip I would give to younguns, IF YOU R BUYING A HOME, always check out the neighbours or EVEN people in the street. Some are friendly others arent. This is one thing that is not on the BUYING A HOUSE list of things to do before buying. For Me you can change neighbours so they are more important as you can change things about the house, but you cant change neighbours or neighbourhoods? my neighbours are friendly and private, You might If you dont work ad they do or vice versa it can be hard.

During covid everyone around me helped make sure everyone was in a good space. They bring in others' bins, clear gutters for others, mow their lawns when they are away.

The neighbour on the north side has an orchard so always has an excess of fruit and the one on the south side has fabulous veges and herbs. We never have an event at our house that we don't invite both neighbours.
