On the one side we have "E.T.", because he's sort of an alien. He can be working on his lawn and I'll go out to my car, within 5 feet of him and he's so totally out of it he won't even say "hi". Then we have "The Inspector". Another neighbor who's always slowly pacing up and down the block smoking a cigarette. He's always checking out everyone's house. Then my next door neighbor on the other side is "Shithead" because, well... he's an asshole.

We were the young kids on the block when we moved here in the 80s. Now, I'm one of the oldest on the block.

Our neighbor has a home-grown trash collection service (his back yard is full of trash cans) that is questionably legal. Every time we see him he tries to sell us his service, which is cheaper than the legitimate trash company we use. We try hard to avoid him but our houses are 10 feet apart.

(1,250 posts)She calls her neighbor Uncle Larry, so we do too. (He is always helping her). Because we can't remember anyone's name half the time, then we just describe them until the other one gets it.
I'm sure that my neighbors have a name for me. I have a big flag that says, Hate Won't Make Us Great, Black Lives Matter sign and Resist Persist and Repeat.
I wonder what they call me.
Purple Coat, Meemaw, Charlie Kelly's Mom, Tommy Bahama.

.a lot.
Lynne Stewart played Bonnie. She passed away in February. I didnt know that. She has quite the comedy chops going way back with Paul Reubens.

(8,994 posts)My neighbor looks and sounds exactly like her. I did always think it was funny that Charlie's mom outwardly seemed a sweet/ditzy/wholesome character but then you learn that she's uh...she's pretty un-wholesome, LOL. Edit to add the episode where they got her to room with Mac's mom is one of my favorites.

(190,796 posts)One of our neighbors has a dog that breaks out and runs wild every once in a while. Because of it fluffy coat and gangly running style he appears to go in several directions at the same time.

(133 posts)Wooded rural area ,10 properties all more than 1/2 wooded. He is doing his best to cut down every tree on his 3acres.Teens ride ATVS and take everything down to bare dirt. Owns a100k plus skidsteer which is just a toy for constant grading and leveling. 4 big pickup trucks. a line of LED lights on workshed which also illuminate my front yard at night. I am trying to get evergreens growing between our places. I guess he's afraid of the dark. I can't see the stars as well now when i step out to look. Just lacks awareness of why people live out here.
