I am not a big fan of being friends with people due to proximity.

I try to be casually nice to my neighbors.

1 of them is older than methuselah and really nice...the other is a couple close to me and my wife's age and they barely acknowledge our existence. I think they're from the north though.

I put up with odd neighbors and no neighbors for years. The house to my left had a couple in their 80s that owned it, but they lived in a nearby city with one of their kids. About 4-5 years back, their son moved into the house, and started really cleaning the place up. Cleared the garage out, worked on the yard, even had the wood floors refinished. We have a key to their house and check on their animals for them when they're out of town. Great people.

The house to my right had this weird couple living in it, and their kids were much older than mine so no one to really play with. Some strange stuff happened over the years. They called the cops on their son one time because of something and he was arrested in the front yard. They went through a breakup and the husband moved out. He was definitely odd, and I only spoke to him a few times over the years. He basically only talked to me when he needed a hand with something.

A couple of years later the daughter just up and vanished. We found out later she was living with family about an hour north of us. The wife confessed some strange activities to my wife one day. A couple of years ago the wife and one of her male friends knocked on my door to ask if we ha seen anything odd over the weekend. She was out of town and the house was broken into, but no sign of forced entry. Thinking it was the husband with an old key, nothing stolen, but furniture was destroyed and other damages. When the For Sale sign went up in the yard, I was excited. Apparently the divorce was being finalized and she was moving away. Some of our good friends bought the place. Their kids are similar ages to mine, go to the same schools, and they now go back and forth between our house and theirs most days. It is awesome finally having great neighbors.

I think this means your wife is banging both of them.

Most of them yes.

End of street, 2 houses down, they can be assholes. They own the local Mcdonalds (one of a few resturants in town). They shoot off fireworks randomly. No big deal, unless it wakes my kids up.

All my other neighbors are older. They are nice and like us.

I have a classmate that lives across the street. Her and her husband are nice. Besides ol boy got drunk last summer and fell off his mower and pissed himself.

Their neighbor throws his beer cans on their house though

He is my dads classmate. He comes off as an a-hole, but never had any issues with him.

Besides that, nice neighborhood in the country club. Small rual town.

We get along with ours, but we don't really hang out together. Never see the neighbors on one side of us except when they're doing yardwork.

I get along with 3 sets of neighbors, no problem. I think I got some california hippie types that are weird and no one really gets along with. Also, have an old crotchety bastard nearby who doesn't say anything or acknowledge greetings. his wife is sweet as they come

my closest neighbor is never home. I put my horses on his place in return for mowing it. The other neighbors are a couple of acres away. No problems.

I've always been a "how's it going" wave from afar as we're getting in and out of our cars kind of neighbor. Occasionally our paths might cross and we'll make small talk for a few minutes. If something comes up, I'd be inclined to cooperate and participate in a solution. That said, don't come over to my house without a purpose. Better yet, text my wife. I admit that if I had kids I would probably feel differently.

House to my left is now an airbnb house. Never met the guy who bought the house. House to right we get along with him pretty well. He is our age and single and travels frequently for work. Other neighbors around us we get along with as well. Not really close to any of them, but friendly enough to giva a wave and a quick chat when you see them. Every now and then some people will get together in someone's front yard and socialize/drink.

My neighbor across the street is a young Couple. Only time i here from him, is if he needs something. Which pisses me off, so now i ignore his text messages or if he comes over i make some kind of excuse up to not let him borrow whatever he needs. Mostly he wants to borrow my Zero turn Mower because he is to lazy to use his damn Push Mower. New neighbors to my right just moved in couple months back. Their 6 year old son is a lil turd. Pisses in my yard with my 10 year old daughter and other kids playing. Told his dad to make his son piss at his house not mine especially with daughter outside. Lil turd constantly hits my son and other kids. My son told his dad that lil turd slapped him in the face and he told my son to quit being a tattle tell. That pissed me off so i told my son the next time he hits him to punch the lil turd as hard as he could in the nose. I teach my kids not to hit but ill be damned if i am going to let him get hit on by some other kid and not take up for himself.

if you cant get along with your neighbors, then the problem is YOU


no one says you have to share movie nights or visit them all the time, anyone "should" be able to be cordial with those who live next to them even if you may not like them. its super rare there is someone so unhappy in life that they cant get along with others

We get along just fine. In fact, my neighborhood has neighborhood get-togethers a few times a year. We all traded numbers and email addresses and have a neighborhood directory.

Still not as good as when I was a kid and lived in an impoverished neighborhood in New Orleans. We were practically one big family on my block and saw each other every day. Me being a kid and hanging out with the other kids probably had a big thing to do with it.

This.

I don't talk to them all that much, but they are all friendly and I'm confident if I needed something they would help me out.

There is an older couple that lives next door. We got along until I asked him a question a second time 5 years later. It was something about flooding in the neighborhood. He flipped out and accused me of being drunk. He ran inside his house. I thought it was really strange. About 2 weeks later he wants to be big friends. I am having nothing to do with that old psycho.
Across the street is a money man (New York Life). I have investments with them and he knows my guy. I had to tell the neighbor guy to mind his own business. He was trying to find out how I was handling my money. He is a big neighborhood gossip. I keep my distance from my neighbors.

get along with all but one. He is unstable so i distanced myself from him and i started getting crazy texts whinning why no one wants to hang out with him anymore, saying he knows he gets crazy sometimes. Yea people really enjoy hanging out with people that you have to continually have to tell them that they are getting out of hand.

Our immediate neighbors are GREAT. We get along fantastic with them. We had one that liked to "rule the roost" of the cul de sac, but since she her clan left for a bigger home...it's been great. Better yet is my neighbor to my left...him and his wife are pretty cool...hard to believe he's the son of the neighborhood busy-body (but she lives way down the road).
