MAC33 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My neighbour in my second storey block of flats doesn't even say hello to me no more Not since a month ago when I found my used 10 litre Pureau water container at my front door. She had removed it from her bin, seemingly I am not supposed to use her bin! Such a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintsized Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not really no, we are semi-detached and situated on a corner so only have one neighbour, they are Chinese. We say hello and they collect post for us sometimes if we're not in but I couldn't see it ever going further than that sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Been living in my gaff for 4 years and have never seen the neighbours. Hob nobbing with neighbours aint my cup of tea. Hello and goodbyes enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I get on ok with my neighbours, one side usually only talks when she wants to borrow/ or help with something, the other side we usually just take in parcels for each other but don't really talk. Used to talk to more on the road but most have moved out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilldig Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I get on ok with my neighbours, one side usually only talks when she wants to borrow/ or help with something, the other side we usually just take in parcels for each other but don't really talk. Used to talk to more on the road but most have moved out now. Yes I have noticed that over the years people talk less. We have had some really good neighbours but if I talk to the bloke next door it,s usually to complain. Apart from the one I have already mentioned which took place in 1979, they are the only other ones that have caused trouble, as follows. The houses are semi-detached and as soon as they moved in he wanted to drop the chimney to lower his house insurance. I thought,well it will cause a bit of mess,but o,k if it saves them a bit on insurance. Now he must have assumed that we had central heating because he just removed our chimney pot and capped it off, but we had a gas fire. Luckily I got home from work before the scaffold had gone so I had a look, otherwise we would have been dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. The next thing, the following summer we were sat in the garden one Sunday and his kids were playing in the back yard, they were slinging his plumb bob around and it flew over and just missed us, now if that had hit, it may have killed,I don,t know but it could well have blinded. The next thing, he renewed their central heating and we had the upstairs bedroom wall pouring water through, which brought the plaster down. A bit later the garden fence that he had put up,blew down,so he built a wall,but he only built it single brick wide,not double,so that blew down,and when it did it demolished half our greenhouse. He then removed a lean too along with the ridge tiles so that left our lean too open to rain. Later he renewed the gutter and came 4 feet over our side,and just abutted it with no proper joint so it leaked down our wall, and when they were doing it a brick fell down and damaged our new front door. The following Christmas another neighbour just going to bed spotted her putting rubbish in the bins on either side,not communal, by the way. These two bins she left with the lids up, but not her own. A few years later he did the same thing again with the guttering, so it,s fingers crossed now. Edited October 30, 2014 by spilldig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I live in very close proximity to 20 other tenants and we only talk to only four of them because the others are just not very nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not even an apology, in fact when I mentioned about the carbon monoxide he just laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
