    My neighbors do not really talk much since I do not see them too often coming out of their houses. I just say hi whenever they do come out and see me walking down the street.

    I live in an apartment complex. And my neighbors, I'm not really a fan of. They make a lot of noise and are generally inconsiderate of what is going on around them. It's pretty disappointing. Can't wait until I move into a new home. I need some peace and quiet.

    I have neighbors who are respectful and keep to themselves. I have luckily only had problems with one of my previous neighbors. She didn't work a normal schedule as far as I could tell. She lived above me and would have parties late at night during the week. I spent many nights yelling at her and calling the landlord. If you live in a shared building you have to be conscious of your neighbors. Ugh. So glad I do not live there anymore.

    That sounds like a terrible situation, I can't imagine a late night party right above me as I'm trying to sleep.
    Was the landlord able to do anything about it, or was that the reason why she is a former neighbor?

    Lucky for you, sometimes, getting a hi out of me is like telling me to drop down and do 100 push ups with one hand...difficulty rate; 100%...because you'll try that 'hi' on a person and they'll wonder what language that is!

    That is what I get for a reaction from some people around. I do not see the neighbors very much and going over to their houses for me is non-existent. I only try to stay in my own zone when it comes to the neighbors.

    Wow, how do you cope with that kind of noise happening above your head? I moved out from a place I lived in some time back because I got tired of hearing my upstairs neighbor dropping stuff on my ceiling (her floor) it would wake me up at odd times. Please I honestly want to know how you handle this.

    Talking of 'strangers'...i live next door to one...we've lived next to each other for like three years...what a long time and i don't even have her number...and am more content like that!...at the end of the day, more familiarity will produce contempt!...i miss the days when i was young, people were more friendly and more united...i guess new actions, new outcomes...got to blame technology somehow :(

    Yikes!...i have just remembered, sometimes i do take on that behavior, living in a rural area, i got this urge to smash insects that show up in my house {attracted to bright light} in the wee hours of the morning...i hope my down neighbor doesn't get a heart failure from that...i 'll try to lessen the thud whilst smashing the bitty thing up {insect} :D

    I do not blame you for trying to move. If you got neighbors like that then its time to go. I think its pointless having to put up with neighbors like that when they are not considerate.
