What do you call your neighbours?
 

Like nicknames you have for them apart from number 72 or John and Sarah?

A few of mine are

The water man.
Volvo man
BMW man
The daughter
The 80's
Fatso
The black woman
Punkies
Blondie
The corner house

have you ever thought what nickname they have for you?

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

we have;

d***head on the end (because he parks parallel thus taking up 2 or 3 spaces instead of end in as he thinks he owns the carpark)
the 'thing' (it's HUGE and the police pay regular visits)
bird man (lovely old guy who makes bird tables)
the joneses (irony in the fact they are the ones always trying to keep up and appear better)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

I've got one of them with stars. I call him ****** or (6 stars) for short.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

I call mine by name, it just depends upon the name I want to call them on that particular day. Some people can be infuriatingly random.... :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

By their names.

I don't resort to silly childishness of making up stupid names for people I don't like, that's something kids do in middle/high school.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Good for you Adam.

If you were my neighbour I'd probably call you Adam.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Good for you Adam.

If you were my Neighbour I'd probably call you Little miss muffy .


The sensible ones always get the best names.:erm:

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Quite the cheerfull soul hay Adam :), and if you don't actually know their names, how would you discribe them in a conversation to say,,,,,,, your other half.

I have the "Crazy Lady" (which I call her to her face and she is OK with this), Hiancinth Bucket because she thinks she is a cut above the rest of us yet lives in the same style of house.

The scruffy'ens, because they never clear up the mess outside their house, I get called all kinds of exspletives, but mostly Jim'll fix'it (my names not Jim) because I'm the one they ask for help when something goes wrong, gets broke or needs fixing :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

I'm a grown up and call my neighbors by there names, Its a neighborhood not a school yard. :)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

We know you use their names when you're talking to them.

we're on about what nicknames you have for them when talking to your wife, mates about them.

Like when you say fatso's getting some exercise again. instead of Mr Johnson's getting some exercise again :)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

We call all our neighbours by their proper names. The only hint of of a nickname is when we refer to 'old' George and 'young' George who live next door to each other and are 82 and 76 years respectively. :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Seconded.:tu:

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Lol, well I just say "Phil next door" or "John two doors down"

Mind you, I was raised to be respectful of others, even if they weren't respectful of/to me.

I certainly wouldn't like knowing, or thinking our neighbours have "nick names" for us, it just seems incredibly immature and seems to have the mentality of a school bully.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

That's the beauty of opinion I suppose, it can be so diverse :).

I just thought your reply was a tad harsh given the context in which it was delivered.

I occasionally use nick names as you call it, terms of endearment is more what I call it ;) in a light hearted manner with no malice or disrespect behind it, quite how this can be considered the mentality of a school bully is beyond me but each to their own I suppose.:erm:

Amazing how threads meant to be a bit of a giggle can soon turn all too serious all to quickly.

Some of us were also brought/dragged up with old fashioned values and to respect ones elders but I would not respect others that don't show me the same courtesy.

Just getting back on topic for a bit I almost forgot, Ive got Billy Bulls*** living next door (he tells a good yarn :D)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Why can't you accept that there's some right miserable neighbours out there :)

I've got him as well. he's the BMW man. his proper name is Robert.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Your probably right, luckily enough I don't suffer from that problem :)



Mines called Richard but I just call hima dick for short :rofl:

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Maybe...I guess I'm just reminded of the days at school when people had "nicknames" called out to their face, like fatty/fatso/four eyes/retard etc.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Fair enough :handshake and under that context I can see where your coming from, hopefully you can now understand where I'm and others are coming from and that the two points are worlds aparts :)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

You what?! Where's Sirius and what have you done with him? :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Bill and Tan, on the other side are Brian and Brenda. The first couple are helping us with our small plot. Great people :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

By their names, with the exception of the ones a few doors down who have never introduced themselves in the 2 years they've been here (which is some feat in a small, remote, rural community). So we call them 'witness protection'. :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

They're more than likely 'social services' :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

What have you done to Sirius? We are heavily armed and capable. Leave him be or else :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

i always knew this thread would end up with one or two 'holier than thou's gatecrashing. nothing to add to the thread, but they'll come and wave their pointed fingers about anyway! lol.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Val & John, and Brian & Marion.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Not sure what my next door neighbours are called, they use lot's of different names, they have even been known to adopt my address at times. Ex Army and bent as a nine bob note, I just refer to them as **** Heads.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

I call him "Nice but" (Tim) want tell you what I call his wife

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

the people in the huge house who seem to always be having parties recently I call Phil and Liz.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

I call them "Neighbour"...the flat below me neighbour...the noisy neighbour...you can probably see a common thread here :D

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

My neighbours are a very nice couple, even make me cake. Oh and I call then by name.

But the ones upstairs did cause us grief.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

If they made me cake..I would have their child...wait..I'd have to give it..but you know what I mean :D

Hehe if I go outside of my flat and look to the left,I call those people IDIOTS!!

I had problems with the neighbours NEXT TO THEM and they lied to these people and said I was terrorising them WHEN I WASNT. They started it!!!!

Now the idiots next door all ignore me,if I saw HI they dont answer......... People are very mean and unkind nowadays!

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Some I call by name the others I would use their names but I forget them. Not good at names. (I had someone come up to me and knew me and name from 40 years back, I must make an impression.)

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

Well we have lived at my current address for the best part of 45 years, we call them by their first names, a few years back I was talking to G (next door) after getting home from work on Friday evening, his wife had dementia, Saturday morning he died of a brain aneurysm. His wife died shortly afterward.

The other next-door neighbours are in their 90s. I did have to enter their house during lockdown as she had a fall and I helped her sit on the floor and waited for their daughter to arrive (I used to watch the daughter sunbathing from my bathroom window.

There is a woman who was my sister's friend, she moved away, but she moved back a few doors along.

Then there is the woman who my mum used to go to school with, her husband died of cancer a month ago.

We do some social event for big occasions, and Christmas 2020 they organised a Christmas carol sing song with social distance, I opted out as it was the first Christmas without my mum and I had no Christmas spirit.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
 

We are very fortunate to have wonderful neighbours, we call them all by name, with the exception of one who we call the cat woman because of the numerous cats she owns.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?
