Lived in previous house for 19 years.
Got on with most of them until son was about 2, then lad next door was having 18th party and while I helped put marque up he took my son in the house and left him, alone with a birthday cake!
My lad ate some of the pictures that had been iced onto the cake of the birthday boys football team!
I offered to nip into work and make photocopy replacements but his Ma was having none of it!
Never spoke again after that!
Stupid woman!
Then when I put in for planning permission to extend the back she objected. Had to have plans redrawn, got it in the end tho'!
Moved 5 years ago and just say hello to either side of me.
Got one on the corner who has never acknowledged me, even if I flash her thru on the road she never even looks at me so I just cut her up now.
Fat arsed woman!

Live next to an old fella who looks after his dad, sound as a pound. Helped me out a bit in the past.
Other neighbours are friendly too but hoarders. He has a rowboat at the side of his house and never been on water. Doors, 10+ lawnmowers, countless cars bought and sold, a million fold up chairs and plant pots etc.
Won't say anything as all the family are very polite and quiet. There is nothing worse than a bad neighbour, they can make your life hell

the morning after the day we moved in here, I came out to find a note on the small trany van we had used. It wasnt blocking anything, it just meant next door only had a ten foot gap onto his drive instead of his usual 12. Bearing in mind we had been unloading the fvcker all the previous day Id of hoped he may understood why it was there, along with out two cars. Neighbor came round the corner as I was throwing the screwed up note into his garden. Suffice to say that wasnt the best start to a relationship. Its okay now though.
Other side he keeps himself to himself while she is a snooty bossy busybody. Ive gone along with her requests so far for a quiet life (last year including buying a gate and fittings, timber for a fence and then a joiner to build it - she paid half and then asked when I was going to treat it! And then watched while I did that. I work 50 hours a week and they are both very fit and active retirees.
Over the road, he wants to chat too much. Im not a fan of small talk.
Maybe one day we will have a beer and break the ice although I suspect we will have nothing in common. Their neighbors seem to hate us, and I think thats parking related

On my small street of 15 houses i know almost everybody. Whenever a house comes up for sale one of my old friends buys it.
We have parties, keep the street clean, clear the paths in snow and watch out for dodgy fuckers hanging around. Neighbours make meals for the older residents and nobody has to put their dogs in the kennels for holidays.
Live on a belting street everyone is friendly and says hello and stops to chat
When we had our baby 8 months ago we had lots of cards from the neighbours and on easter sunday next door knocked on with an easter teddy for the little one
Love the street just a shame we are going to move in the next year or two as the house is becoming a bit small

If what happened to you last night had happened to me or another neighbour there would have been at least four lads from the street willing to go back and sort those twats out.

Mate that's sounds great makes me think of how's mum and dad describe there old streets. My estate growing up wasn't like that and if it was my view would probably be a lot different. My own experience is for every street like yours there's 1,000 not. I like where I live nobody bothers me and it suits work and school for the kids. I'm not messing that up for a potential friend I may make. I already have great mates that I meet in primary school and wouldn't change for the world. Sorry for my cynical view for the world but the world made me this way mate.

Stoner I once rented a room off a good mate who lived at the bottom of a cul-de-sac. First thing he said was most of the residents were sound as fuck and easy to get along with. Everyone did really know one another and were tip-top. An old bloke who used to spot me would shout "Oi mcmanus you going shop lad?"
"yep"
"Can you get us a few things?"
"yep"
He had a bloody list for me. But absolutely no probs at all as he was such a top fella. Five minutes extra for me rather then a half hour hassle for him.
As for the parking it was always tight but a quick knock on a door and car moved. Some used to chuck me their keys.
