  • First of all, lol at your post title. LOVE it

    Are you friendly with your neighbors? Yes we are!

    Do you know their names? Yes I do

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? No.

    Would you ask them for help? I would if I needed anything.

    Have they ever asked you for help? Yes. My neighbor's car died in her garage and she borrowed my husband for help. My other neighbor needed more eggs for a recipe and came and borrowed some.

    Other: I bake and take them stuff. They bring us stuff. One neighbor just had a baby and I went over with a small gift to see the new baby

    I also have to add, this is our 2nd round of neighbors since we live here. These by far are a lot nicer and better neighbors than my last ones.

    Are you friendly with your neighbors? No, the one next door had H's truck towed. ***. The other never says hello even when I try to be polite.

    Do you know their names? Nope.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? Lord no.


    Would you ask them for help? No. Except when she blocked me in my garage several times last summer because she parked half her car in my driveway.
    I had to wake her up at 8am and ask her to move her car.


    Have they ever asked you for help? Ya, to move our trash can outside our fenced in back yard. We have a privacy fence, so it's not like she can see it. She doesn't follow the community rules and stores hers by the garage. Tacky.

    I love my house, but will never buy it. I can't stand my neighbors.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? I try to be. Smile

    Do you know their names? Nope, not one.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? Nothing at all...

    Would you ask them for help? Probably not.

    Have they ever asked you for help? No, I don't think so.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? I am cordial with them. They piss me off highly.

    Do you know their names?  Just one and he is the worse of them.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? Nope. I got tricked into going to one next door neighbor's party and his gf at the time hit on me. Grrr!

    Would you ask them for help? Nope.

    Have they ever asked you for help? They have but I am not willing to give help.

    I just have to add in that our home is so close to our next door neighbor's that the two houses could kiss. He is almost 50 and wants to be a DJ so he blasts his music late at night and when we go over there, he ether can't hear or he is baked out of his skull and refuses to answer the door. The other side, they are a bunch of 20 something hipsters who sit outside late at night and drink and smoke and talk very loud. Once, I walked out and told them to quiet it down because DH was sleeping after a strenuous day at work. They thought I was joking. They then began to play with their car alarm and I went back out and told them to knock it off or else I am calling the cops! Ugh!

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? I say hi to them, etc. I am close with my neighbor   she is like my 2nd mom.

    Do you know their names? The neighbor I hang out with. And I knew a few but that's it.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? Just the one.

    Would you ask them for help? I might. Depends on the situationI guess.

    Have they ever asked you for help? Only the one I hang out with.

    So, Charity is all sweet and helped her neighbor out...

     

    Are you friendly with your neighbors? One of them

    Do you know their names? Yes

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? No

    Would you ask them for help? Yes and we have. The lady who lives next door is alone and sometimes needs H to  help with repairs. We watch her house she watches ours when we are OOT. We also have a deal with her that we use her basement if there is a tornado since we don't have one.

    Have they ever asked you for help? Answer Above

  • My situation is unique.  My H is a police officer and works off duty on the property by responding to various calls or problems that may come up and in turn, we get free rent.  It's a sweet deal and the apt is nice and in a good location, but many residents are low income and just odd.  Some have been in trouble with the law at times, unfortunately, so DH has had some not-so-great encounters with a few.  Some are nice and low key though. 

     

    Are you friendly with your neighbors?  DH is very friendly with them because he's introduced to most people when they move in.  I just say hello.

    Do you know their names?  DH does.  He has a list of names and phone numbers for everyone here.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?  No.

    Would you ask them for help?  No.  
     
    Have they ever asked you for help?  Yes.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors?
    The rare times we see them, we're friendly enough, yep.

    Do you know their names?
    Not one. However, one of them brought over "good neighbor gifts" for Christmas, so their names are probably on them.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?
    Nope. We do not.

    Would you ask them for help?
    Sure. Everyone's pretty nice in my little tiny town. I'm sure they'd help if they could.

    Have they ever asked you for help?
    No, but one of the older couples in our ward have brought us all kinds of veggies and stuff. I think they were assigned to us, they just visit and bring goodies... can't complain!

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? one family, yes.  The other 2 closest to us are pretty odd so we try to avoid contact.

    Do you know their names?yesDo you do anything with your neighbors? my one neighbor K and I walk together and trade dog sitting.  I also use their pool when they are away.

    Would you ask them for help? that one family, yes.

    Have they ever asked you for help?  yup!  We have a pretty nice arrangement.  We have even baby sat for them once.  We are each other's "in case of emergency" people in terms of kids, pets, and house.

    Do you know their names?  some of them, the H knows them more than I do

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?  No.

    Would you ask them for help?  If I needed it, yes... I did have to borrow a phone once when I got locked out of the house.   That's the only help I have needed so far.

    So, Charity is all sweet and helped her neighbor out...

    We live in a townhouse complex, with about 80 units in our block. So...

    Are you friendly with your neighbors? Just about all of them, though I did write a formal nasty game to one with a loud, crappy motorcycle.

    Do you know their names?  All 5 of the units on our row, and various other ones throughout the block, yes.

    Though fun story, when we moved in, we met out direct neighbors on one side, and the husband introduced himself as **his name**, **wife's name**, and the kids. We have lived there for almost 3 years, and still have no idea a) how many kids he actually has (it's either 2 or 3) or b) their names. We do know their ages, what schools they go to, what instruments they play and what they want to study in college, but still no names. We conversate with this neighbor at least once a day.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? Yes. One unit (about 4 down from us) is actually my childhood best friend whom I had lost touch with when we went to to college. We have reconnected and become good friends again. We hang out at least once a week or so. There is another couple that when the guy's kids are with their mom, they come over. And my H plays soccer with people from another unit.


    Would you ask them for help? Yes, and have. I think the best was I got stuck about 40 minutes away because I had a drink spiked. My H had a hard time finding a ride to come help, and ended up catching one of them while walking their dog. They gave him a ride to come pick me up. I am sure there are other times, but that one sticks out.

    Have they ever asked you for help? Yes, more than once. I have walked many of our neighbor's dogs, childhood friend had a crisis involving furniture at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning, and various other instances.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? - yes, we'll say hello to them when we're outside and occasionally stop and chat for a couple of minutes

    Do you know their names? - some of them

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? - no

    Would you ask them for help? - depends on what it is, our one neighbors have gotten our mail before while we were away, but that's about the extent of it.  We keep to ourselves mainly 

    Have they ever asked you for help? - not yet 

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors?  Some of them.

    Do you know their names?  A few.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?  Not really.  A couple times a year we have community get-togethers, otherwise it's mostly mombies and I have nothing in common with most of them.

    Would you ask them for help?  Sure.

    Have they ever asked you for help?  Yes, once S was trying to climb up to the roof to fix a few shingles so I was trying to hold the extension ladder in place.  Our property drops off rather steep if you're not on the walkway and our neighbor happened to see us and came out to help.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? Meh, I wave if I see them.

    Do you know their names? If someone said it, I'd probably recognize it.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? God no, most of our neighbors either have babies or they're super old.

    Would you ask them for help? If I really needed it.

    Have they ever asked you for help? No.

    Do you know their names?Yes

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?Yeah, we chit chat in the front lawn a lot, and we've been out to the bar a couple of times with one of them.

    Would you ask them for help? Yes, and we have

  • Our closest neighbors are family so the answer to everything is yes, but I'll answer about the other neighbors. 

    Are you friendly with your neighbors? We wave when we pass them on the road.

    Do you know their names? I only know their last names. FI knows them better.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? No.

    Would you ask them for help? Probably not. Maybe if we had car problems or got injured while on a walk and their house was the closest.

    Have they ever asked you for help? Not since I've been around.

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors? Oh yeah. We are a very close community-- we have huge parties for every holiday and a very active community association.

    Do you know their names? Almost all of them, but we have a neighborhood directory (complete with pets' names!) in case I forget!

    Do you do anything with your neighbors? All the time. Some of our closest friends live 4 houses away.

    Would you ask them for help? Would and do. There's a neighborhood FB page where we can post to ask to borrow a snowblower, or volunteer to dogsit, whatever you need!

    Have they ever asked you for help? Sure. We volunteer to do a lot of the neighborhood beautification work (pulling weeds, planing shrubs, etc.) and also help the older people move furniture or pick up packages. We helped shovel out all the neighbors on our street after the huge snowstorm last year.

     

    ETA: There are 60 houses in my neighborhood :-)

    Are you friendly with your neighbors?  Very.  The ones three doors down have been our couple BFF for five+ years.  We're pretty close to another couple further down the street, and our direct neighbors on either side are really friendly people.

    Do you know their names? Yep, I know the names of at least 50% of my street

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?  Pretty frequently, especially in the summers.  Two of us have kegerators, so it's pretty much a beer fest from March through October.

    Would you ask them for help? We all help each other out

    Have they ever asked you for help? See above

    ETA:  I need to qualify my answer.  I love the adults that live on one side of us...very cool hippies.  But their kids, OMG.  The boy has practically fallen over our 8' wall trying to play with our dogs, and I've had to chase him out of my yard and driveway several times.  He has a bad habit of hiding in the yard and then running in front of the car when you're trying to pull into the garage.  I haven't had much trouble since emailing his mom, but he still lurks around.  I've officially become the "Get off my lawn!" woman.

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • Are you friendly with your neighbors?  Not really. I mean, we say hello but that's about it.

    Do you know their names? I know the names of the people that live on both sides of our house. That's it.

    Do you do anything with your neighbors?  Nope. One time the friendlier couple invited us over for a drink in the summer, that's it.

    Would you ask them for help? If there was no other way around it.

    Have they ever asked you for help? I don't think so.

    *ETA: I wish that we were closer with our neighbors. The one couple in particular seems really nice. But both couples have young kids and I just don't think it would work out. Not that we mind the kids really but I just feel like it would be so difficult to start a friendship that way.
