View Full Version : The perfect neighbor
I finally met my upstairs neighbor today. She moved in last August -- maybe it was July -- and it took until today for us to run into each other. I hear her walking up and down the steps, and passing by my front door and my other front door, but otherwise, I almost forgot she was there.
You can't ask for a better neighbor than that.

Awesome. My neighbors back home (and these are houses, not apartments) are always so loud at 3am that it's hard to sleep at time. I'd love to have a neighbor that I didn't know was there.

A quiet neighbour is certainly something that you don't appreciate properly until you no longer have one. My neighbours to my east are so quiet! I have never heard a thing from their suite. The neighbour to my west is only quiet now after I filed a formal complaint with my landlord (and it took a lot of crap before I made the complaint).
Enjoy the peace and quiet! :D

I've actually got a great neighbour right now (well, two of them, technically). They're quiet, have no problems with us coming in to do laundry (Our laundry room is their kitchen), and they came up tonight to help us play GoldenEye. :)
Quiet neighbors are very welcome... my last two haven't been so good. The first was both my downstairs neighbor and the girlfriend from hell... getting that involved with a neighbor is a mistake I'll never repeat again. I moved to this building to get away from her... and wound up living under RoachMan, the guy who played his TV at full blast 24/7 and loved to stand in front of my door and yell up the steps to his roommate at 2:30AM.

Im very lucky.
ALL of the people in my building, which has 8 apartments including mine, are very quiet.
the loudest people are the children that play outside, until 8pm :)
my only problem is that asshat that comes around every weekday at 5:30pm on the dot and blares his horn to alert the person hes picking up, that hes here.
While i havent heard this blaring horn in about a month now, so help me, one day hes going to do that, and im going to go down there in my pajamas, and give him an earful about waking up people who work 3rd shift.*
(*I work first shift :devil: )

Our nextdoor neighbor kicks ass. He has helped me with plumbing problems many times, keeps an eye on our place for us, even takes out our trash for us on trash day. We let them park a car in our driveway (ours can fit 3 cars and we only have 2 ourselves, theirs fits 2 and they have 3). They are awsome neighbors and we think of them as family.

The neighbors that I have next door to me are pretty quiet. The husband is in the military and the wife is very quiet. They have a little girl and a dog and the dog makes more noise than all of them put together. She is Amish like, she dresses like them and is very religious. I haven't heard much from them.
I have other neighbors that live a couple of trailers up from me that are crazy. She came in my yard earlier this summer to preach to me. I was mowing the grass and my hubby was watching TV. She was telling me that I shouldn't be working on god's day, that is what husbands are for. She said that I am a woman and shouldn't be doing any physical labor. WTF!!! She said that I am just to sit around the house and look pretty for my husband! Again, WTF?!!?
I told her that I am a woman that will not stand to have someone else do for me that I can do for myself. I am not weak and will not sit around while someone else is doing the work, and besides if I don't mow the yard they will come back later saying that the grass is to high and it is needing cut. In other words, If I don't it won't get done. She then wanted to speak with my husband. I told her to leave before I help her out of my yard.
She acted like she couldn't beleive that someone would speak to her that way. I told her to get out of my yard and that she would make great mulch for my flowers. She left and hasn't been back since. I wonder why?? I was hot as I had just mowed about 1/2 an acre of grass out in the hot sun and had another 1/2 acre to go. I wasn't in a pleasent mood.
My husband laughed and asked if he need to call the CSI people.

I live in dorms at my college. It's a mainly freshmen dorm. Most of my floor is girls. They like to scream down the halls at 2 in the morning, whether it's Thursday night or Monday night. It's freaking annoying. I want to just slap one of them but apparently that's considered impolite. And then, when two of them finally get written up for running in the halls and yelling back and forth, they whine about it! Maybe, if they shut the hell up at 3 in the morning, it wouldn't happen! They need to keep it in their freaking rooms. Drunk or not, there's no excuse. And just because I'm one of the few guys in the hall and I'm nice to them, they think they can load their guy problems on me. You want a nice boyfriend. Good for you. Stop getting drunk and getting with random guys, you can't find a boyfriend that way. No I don't care that they haven't called you back, you shouldn't have expected anything else. Gee, when you told your boyfriend you were pregnant, he left you and NOW he's a douchebag? When I warned you before you dated him he was a douchebag, why is my opinion worthless until after it happens? And why the hell are her friends still hanging out with him? That's like stabbing her in the back!
Yes, I'm frustrated. Gnar kill.

Maybe you should tape that post to your door, as a warning to others. Lind of like the collegiate version of a "Beware of Dog" sign. :lol:
