re: Do you know your neighbors?

A pretty decent amount for just moving in August.
The people in my neighborhood get together a lot though.

Jody knows your neighbors.

Yeah, but just casually.
One next door is a 90 year old woman, she’s really nice and chats with us when she sees us in the front yard. The other is a middle aged woman with a teenage son, we don’t talk as much but we’ve been introduced and always smile and wave when we see each other. I met the guy who lives across the street once, seemed like a decent enough guy, I don’t see him very often though.
Most of the people in my neighborhood are old, so we don’t have a ton in common. I keep trying to get some of my friends to move here, but they have yet to pull the trigger.

We are in a new construction area so only have one house across from us that is built and occupied. We have waved and such but just get ignored. One time our dog bolted out the door and ran across the street while the wife was walking their dog. I ran over and apologized and she was nice and all but made no effort to introduce herself. I could have done the introducing but based on the previous experiences decided to just take the hint and go back in. Some people just want to be left alone and honestly, I’m ok with that. I don’t take it personally.

I've been in my house 14 years and know most of mine.
Especially the ones who drank them beers

I’m cool with the guy across the street. Older lawyer who lives alone. We shoot the shite anytime we’re both outside.
I cut the couple across the streets front yard because they’re never home; both pilots.
Next door is a lesbian couple (not the hot kind); one an executive chef and one a construction worker who does amazing woodwork. We love hanging out with them, they watch the house and dogs when we’re gone.
Other neighbor is a young couple in their late 20s. Dude is weird as frick and the woman is just as weird. We’ve only spoken twice; once when he came over to borrow a chain saw and once when he needed help starting his lawn mower.
I’m nice to all of them.

Yep both and the neighbor 2 doors down has been like family since we bought the house. Before we had kids they’d bring our dog treats on the holidays, even closer as the years go by, as they get to know us and the kids.

I know all but two of my immediate neighbors. I only know them casually from a brief introduction. I don't go out of my way to befriend anyone and they do the same. In fact, I had two of them tell me they just like to lay low and be alone, so I am cool with that.
I already have so much going on that I don't want to go home to a neighbor knocking on my door for some bullshite.

we give them a couple month then go over and introduce ourselves.

I knew all my neighbors in my old 'hood. Lived there for over ten years. Moved three weeks ago and don't know anyone at the new spot.
Posted on 11/18/19 at 6:13 pm to Box Geauxrilla
I know their names. Neighbors in either side are elderly couples so not really gonna invite them over for parties, lol.
One time neighbors wife had an accident and I heard her yelling outside so I ran out to check, so they like us.

yes neighbor on my left gives me lsu tickets, my oldest baby sits for the neighbors to my right and my second oldest dog sits for the neighbors behind us so they both make pretty good money while doing that... hate to move from that place.

You don't need to be in your neighbors business. A courtesy wave at first viewing of the day, and in some subtle way let him or her know that as their neighbor you are watching their back.
I get it because I’m living it. But I still don’t know what it is this way. It’s a strange phenomenon.

I only know the people next to me, on both sides. I've been in their houses, and they've been in mine.
One has a 30 something year old couple with three little boys living in it. Two of the kids aren't old enough to be in school, and their mom is home with them every day. They've only been in it for a couple of years, but we love having them there. After school all three of the boys are out playing ball, pushing each other in a swing from a big oak, or jumping on the trampoline, in the back yard. There's a wood fence around all of their backyard except for the side ajoining us, where there's a chain link fence.
Another couple with three older boys (two Jr. high and one high school) lived there before them. The couple, and those boys, were worthless. The only time we ever saw them was holidays, when we would have gifts, or candy for them. Their house was in terrible condition. They never mowed, or raked their yard. Once a year, for the last two years they were there, volunteers from some organization cleaned their yard. Their mom stayed home, and home schooled them. They moved to Shreveport, but their mom is from Ruston, so she will call, and they will come by around their birthdays. They came by on Halloween this year too. None of the kids were dressed, but they were trick or treating.
A lady who owns nail salons lives on the other side with her brother, who is disabled. They know they can call, or come over if they need anything. We're forever getting each other's mail, so we see each other to exchange that.
Nothing but woods across the street, and the houses are a good distance from the road. I know a lot of other people's vehicles, and wave, but we never have neighborhood gatherings.

You must the most charming person ever. Just by saying hello to a stranger means they want to move into your life

I know pretty much everyone in my subdivision. I actually go outside which judging by this thread is rare for many of y'all.

This, word for word, is the beginning of the Next Great American Novel.
