What would your neighbors say about you?

Asked by KateTheGreat (13640points) June 9th, 2011

Today I was taking a shower and singing my heart out and then I realized that my neighbors probably hate me.

What would your neighbors say about you? Would they say you are quiet and unnoticeable or are you loud and obnoxious? Funny stories are welcome!

As for me, my neighbors probably want to kill me. I am constantly practicing my opera skills and holding parties. But the feeling is mutual. I get woken up every morning when the man upstairs lets out raunchy farts whenever he wakes up. :D

They would mention our two big dogs, because that’s what they comment on when we leave the house with them.

I rent an apartment in a rather large Victorian home. There are four apartments altogether in there. Two up, two down. I am the only female. The rest are guys (two with a partner and one a bit odd – when I see him, I think “put the lotion in the basket”).

They would think:

That I am noisy (when my SO is with me); that I love to play music (usually Pandora); that I have a pretty awesome entertainment system (you can hear it when I’m watching movies); that my place smells like vanilla and sandalwood (while the rest of the building smells like mens); that I’m friendly.

@Jude I love the Silence of the Lambs reference. ;)

My neigh-bors love me!
Horses and humans. lol

I live on a tiny dead end rural mountain road with only 3 neighbors spread out over about 50 acres. My end of the road neighbors walk up to my house several times a week and bring their little grand daughter to feed my geese and sit on the bench in my park like front yard.

My ‘up the hill’ neighbors help me with pet sitting and vice versa when we are traveling or home late. They have an ‘open barn’ policy and I am encouraged to go on up and grab a bottle of wine or a few beers out their barn/shop whenever I want. Comes in handy sometimes if I don’t want to drive 16 miles to the nearest local hub. lol

My end of the street, corner neighbors often come down to get their dingy labs out of my yard that make the rounds to have a little cat food snack in my garage if the gate is open. haha

My REAL ‘neigh-bors’ 2 mules, 3 donkeys and a draft horse share the fence line between out two properties and I just stocked up on more apples for the gang.

I am often stampeded by the thundering herd when she who brings apples is outside. ;-)

“Seems nice as he waves and says ‘Hi’ on the rare occasions I see him. Seems like he’s never home.”

’‘Pretty nice ass though”

My neighbors don’t talk to me. It is a rare occurance for them to even wave to me.

Friendly but quiet, probably.

That I’m anti-social.

I don’t have to guess. Unique circumstances recently gave me the opportunity to find out exactly what my neighbors think of me, and because of the unique circumstances I am inclined to believe that what they said was true.
Among the things that were said included that my husband and I are “two of the most caring and generous people you could ever wish to meet,” and that our home is “beautifully decorated and always clean” and that we have the nicest yard in the neighborhood. Needless to say, I was so touched that I cried. I am lucky to have wonderful neighbors.

Since I haven’t been around my parent’s house much since just recently, I’d say that most of the new neighbors (within the last few years) think some random girl is coming and going or that some stranger is breaking in and stealing shit. lol
But, I imagine my neighbors think I’m pretty quiet and reserved, but that I have a really annoying dog that barks at everyone. I hate having that one irritating dog on the block. >.<
But since I haven’t caused any trouble or like skinned anyone’s cat, I imagine they all think I’m friendly enough.

The only neighbour I actually talk to has mixed feelings about me.
Some days he texts me, and wants to hang out. Then while we’re walking around the neighbourhood, like we usually do, we just insult eachother the hole time.
We do this most days.

Don’t mess with him next door!……. We actually get on great when we see each other, they’re an older couple & I kind of think they look on me as a bit of security.. He passes me veggies over the back fence he’s grown whenever were out back, if they’re ripe for picking that is… His wife always waves & is full of pleasantries, I’m very lucky to have good neighbours…. My detached house is at the head of my street & sits on a corner plot so I only have the one neighbour on my side ;-) there’s two garage spaces between our houses so I doubt they hear me or my music… I help out if he needs any heavy work doing & they keep an eye on the spuds & the place when I’m out to work, it’s all good.

They probably wish I’d close the blinds. Why do I have to wear clothes in my own house? lol

TexasDude's avatar

My neighbors to the left are enormously fat rednecks that wear nothing but overalls and they literally speak in grunts and grumbles and their little shit kid has stolen stuff from my yard before. They probably wouldn’t have much to say.

My neighbors on the other side are also rednecks, only they are less caveman-like and skinnier. They have a bunch of perpetually-truant kids who worship me as though I was their god. The kids would probably say about me: “he would be the perfect social studies teacher!”

…actually, they already have said that about me.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard

Hahaha…well, ya know, being PC has it’s limits! lol ;-)

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

They would say my dogs and kids wake them up every once in awhile. I hate my neighbors so they can go suck it.

Ron_C's avatar

They don’t say much. I’m the guy that’s never home but has a friendly wave for neighbors. We moved here from Virginia about 30 years ago so we are new-comers.

Either my neighbors are old and dying or have young kids and not much time except to jog around the neighborhood. Since I don’t jog and never will, and my kids have kids, we don’t fit in with the new neighbors. My old friend, next door died and her husband is kind of “old German”. Yells and cusses a lot, I don’t feel comfortable there.

ucme's avatar

They’d say I was a dedicated family man. I know this because several of my neighbours are friends of the family & know me fairly well.

Coloma's avatar

@ucme

But do they know you secretly want to wear Barbara Streisands dress? lol

“Well hello, Dolly….you’re looking swell Dolly…..

shego's avatar

I don’t know what any of my neighbors think of me. The elderly lady who lived here thought I was a sweetheart, because I helped her out when she needed it. But as far as the others, they can go to hell. They are rude.

Bellatrix's avatar

They probably think I am a hermit. I don’t really talk to any of them. I do wave if I see them. I have a terrible memory for faces that are out of place too so I wouldn’t recognise them if I saw them in another, unconnected place so if that has happened, they would probably say, she is rude and ignores me.

bob_'s avatar

@Facade Pics or it never happened.

Facade's avatar

@bob_ I think the little girl outside who screamed had a camera. I’ll get back to you.

blueiiznh's avatar

@KatetheGreat That was you singing. I heard you all the way to Boston!

Your Aria was amazing!

cookieman's avatar

So...@Facade...any homes for sale near you?

Neizvestnaya's avatar

They’d say I’m quiet and and a rare sight but not unnoticeable.

KateTheGreat's avatar

@blueiiznh Why thank you! I’ve been working on my projection!

MilkyWay's avatar

They’d probably say I was a bit shy but helpful girl. Not too loud but I think they would be annoyed by my singing most of the time.

Bellatrix's avatar

Shy? Queenie? Hmmmm

Bellatrix's avatar

:P back at ya.

aprilsimnel's avatar

“Are you the one who’s always singing? Would you please be quiet? I’m trying to watch my stories while you ‘practise’ your ‘singing’”.”

Hibernate's avatar

Only bad things because all are true. I keep them awake with all my movies that I watch [ and it’s not the movie but the sound which is loud ^^].

But maybe then again they could say good things too because I help them whenever they need help and when they ask nicely I ALWAYS LISTEN TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

OpryLeigh's avatar

They would probably say that they hear more from my dog than they do from me. I keep myself to myself but my dog likes to make herself heard every so often.
