| Good morning, afternoon, and goodnight! I was recently reminded of the fact that I ripped my old microwave's handle clean off one evening about a month ago. (I argue that it is because I'm super frickin' strong, but my friends will falsely claim it's because the handle was mostly broken already). I bought a new microwave, but it was so flipping heavy that I couldn't get it into place above the oven. Plus, I needed some new holes drilled for the new 'wave. I told my neighbor that I was having some friends come over to help me out the next weekend, but he insisted on helping me straight away so I wouldn't have to wait for the weekend to use it. It took a fair amount of work, but we got it done! The dude is a workhorse! I would like to be an awesome neighbor like that, but my ability to drill holes or fix appliances is pretty limited, admittedly (I'm not that super frickin' strong). Who are the neighbors in your life who are super neighborly, and what have they done to earn themselves the title of "Awesomely Awesome Neighbor?" Maybe we can all get some ideas on how we can be better neighbors ^u^ !  |

| I never interact with my neighbor unless it's super important. So just be yourself and don't bother your neighborhood(?) Oh if you wanna give some food, no one gonna object to that, probably. Idk I'm broke so food and money always helps. |

| Dont have one. I despise most of them as they blast the worst music known to man 24/7 with no respect for others. And the ones that dont do this, i dont even know them. |

| I have some Mexican brothas in the neighborhood who took found and care of my dog when he got loose. Then they invited us over for dinner a week later. |
| Don't have any where I live currently that I know of? There was a couple who lived nextdoor to me one side that helped move my other neighbor's dogs back into her yard, as they'd smashed through the fence we share. They even posted a Christmas card to me the year I moved in, but they've moved away now and it's likely that their house is going to be tenanted, as most of them are around here. The neighbors at my parent's remaining house were awesome some, they'd look out for the house, as sometimes it would be left for a long time as it was far away from our others. One neighbor would cut our lawns & hedges for us, and phoned us up to warn us about it possibly getting broken into, as someone had been looking at it suspiciously. My neighbor even came to help perform CPR with my other neighbor on my Mother, who was having a heart attack :/ |

| Neighbour to my left: Old hag with ugly dirty dog, always talks on the phone 24/7 and laughs annoyingly, too. Neighbours to my right: Some slavs, possibly Ukranians, who always fight and scream at each other. Neighbour below me: Another old hag who used to be a chainsmoker (awful voice too) but pretends to be HELTH now by riding around on her electric bicycle. Neighbours below me on the left: A fat couple around my age who often blast the most horrible early 2000's remix-techno-music ever, our walls, ground and furniture vibrates and our cats get scared when that happens. Neighbours below me on the right: Some Arabs, pretty peaceful. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| I don't know. The neighbors at my previous place were awful. My new ones are pretty chill, but that also means I don't have as many reasons to talk to them very often. That being said, I'm usually the strong neighbor so I'd be happy to help if one of them needed some assistance with her microwave. Like, "Yeah, Mrs. Watanabe, let me help you with that. Wow, that microwave must be at least 15 lbs, good thing you called me! Yeah, I work out. Hehe, of courseyou can touch my abs! So your husband's on a business trip again, huh? How terrible!" |

Oh if you wanna give some food, no one gonna object to that, probably. Idk I'm broke so food and money always helps. I think that is a very underrated point that many (myself included) are prone to missing! While be pro-actively friendly to your neighbors, simply not bothering them is in and of itself good, too! Giving food is a good idea as well. OiantakuYT said: Dont have one. I despise most of them as they blast the worst music known to man 24/7 with no respect for others. And the ones that dont do this, i dont even know them. Gahh! I hate when someone drives through my neighborhood blasting their 'tunes like they wanna be at a Metallica concert! I bet the ones who aren't blasting music are better neighbors, though! You'll just have to overcome not knowing them! Jailed said: I have some Mexican brothas in the neighborhood who took found and care of my dog when he got loose. Then they invited us over for dinner a week later. Dang, that is top tier neighborly! I'm not sure I could muster that level of friendliness towards strangers. Count yourself lucky! LightWorker said: Don't have any where I live currently that I know of?

I don't know if your new neighbors can match that, but I bet they're pretty cool too! Illuminatli said: That is not the greatest group of neighbors, tbh. I wonder if following Scavendgarr's food gift suggestion could be a good way to "open the door" to get some of them to quiet down.Neighbour to my left: Old hag with ugly dirty dog, always talks on the phone 24/7 and laughs annoyingly, too.

I'm glad you have chill neighbors, but you should try to be a good neighbor, too! Trying to spark infidelity in marriage is not neighborly at all!!!! |

| Most I get from my current set of neighbors is a smile. Which is good enough for me I suppose. 149597871 said: I'm gathering you frequently tag search NTR"Yeah, Mrs. Watanabe, let me help you with that.

| The elderly couple next door to me is always super nice. The wife helped me with my disability claim and the husband watches over our house when we go on vacation. He even scared off some people who tried to rob us. |

H-A-M-M-Y said: My neighbourhood is full of businessmen, judges, and politicians. Most of them are bloody snobbish and arrogant. Same... Nobody... My neighbors are all arrogant, self-satisfied, self centered frauds with fake unfriendly smiles and robot like greetings.. All my neighbors suck... They're not helpful at all. |
