Introducing yourself to your new neighbors. Is this a thing now?

Next door or across the street is acceptable. Anything else is weird!

Seems cool to me, but isn’t it usually the other way around? Welcome new neighbors, even in most rural settings.

Kind of strange outside of a subdivision... but it's always nice to know who your neighbors are.

I never talk to my neighbors. Best neighbors I’ve ever had

Is she your neighbor or anyone between your homes? She sounds nice and it’s good to know your neighbors. She’s 60 and alone? Who knows if one day yall might be of some help to her or she may bake you a cake or cookies. My new neighbor brought over a charcuterie board and introduced herself with they moved in.

I don't get the knocking on the door part.

I've jogged or walked through my neighborhood since we moved there almost 20 years ago. I will stop and introduce myself and talk to neighbors who are outside. but, I'm not knocking on doors.

I was in my house for about 5 days and was on the front lawn with a plumber doing some work.. Out of the corner of my eye I see the across the street neighbors come marching over... Introduced themselves and went right into questions about me.. Where do you work? Married? No... any kids? No and the nest question was WHY? What a effin question... At that point my responses became more testy to the point that I literally shooed them away... The plumber was like WTF was that? He said that was an interview.. People get crazy with their neighborhood owner attitude...

I am the kind of neighbor that if you need help I am there otherwise leave me alone.. It has already happened that I was thrown under the bus by another neighbor to get his nosey arse out of trouble with another neighbor..

interesting. in a neighborhood setting, I always felt it was the responsibility/duty of the existing neighbors to introduce themselves to the neighbor. Not the other way around.
