I fall into the Mysterious zone..... I barely even know the name of 3 people in d house i stay. just the hi, hi thing or sometimes go knock on their door to drive out if their car is parked beside me. Even of sometimes they do wanna meet probably to contribute to fix faulty stuffs in the compound, i just tell them to foward the bills when the meeting is done. Its just me myself and I there

The discussion is about our neighbours not us. Check the first page again(11th comment) for the description of my neighbours.

mencade5: na wetin i tell am ooo. Why are we thinking towards tge same direction? Am also passive too because i have expereinced too many ''amebo'' neighbours before which forced me to become passive. or are u having a crush on me? tongue
Lol. For your mind. grin

It is the way you present yourself that will determine how the amebo neighbour will associate with you. When my neighbours take a look at my politely distant face and demeanour, they don't bring any unnecessary famzing to me.

I once had a copy cat and over borrowing neighbour. The copy cat, made me her standard for living. She made whatever hairstyle I made and changes hers a day after I change main. She takes pictures of my cloth everytime, and ends up making the same style, even when the style of the cloth is not fine. She got a new TV cos she thought I bought a new one, not knowing the TV case she saw was for my old TV and has been in my store.
The order knocks at my gate by 1am to borrow sugar, milk or even salt. Thank God all is now past.

I currently do not have neighbors. I don't need any, having experienced a miserable room mate while in school. I have worked hard and built a big mansion for myself, fenced round on 200 by 200 plot of land. No neighbouring, no gossips, no encroachment whatsoever.

ubongutioh: Since I moved into my apartment 4months ago, I've been Sharing my BB charger with this man! He knocks my door every now and then, 'pls your BB charger', 'charge my BB for me'. 6am he knocks, 11pm he knocks, all in the name of BB charger. And the annoying thing is that, I can be having sometime with my babe, when he knocks I may refuse to open, he won't leave, he will keep on knocking till you open. He is in mid fifties and married and I can't asked him to stop.
. Pls just dash him ur charger and get a new one for yourself, dats really annoying

vikel2104: Staying in a neighbourhood gives you the chance to meet different types of people and learning to deal with them. Below are some different possible types of neighbours you can have.

1.Parentless kids.
There is always sound of yelling kids from their house. Their parents are never at home. They are noise making little beings.

2.The Over-friendly Neighbour
They make your business, their business. You like it or not. These are typically the neighbours who will literally stay in your house and wouldn’t even mind helping you out with your daily chores. They don’t know where to draw the line and end up being over friendly. More often than not they cross the line. These neighbours want to know everything about you, your family, how much money you earn every month, where all do you make investments and you’re spending patterns. They want to know it all without even once thinking that these are personal and you are not comfortable sharing them.

3.The Really Mysterious Neighbour .
There is never any noise coming from his apartment. However, the only dialogue you ever had with this type of neighbour probably consists of “Hello!” and “Nice weather today, huh?” You’ve probably noticed that the really mysterious neighbour comes back home either late at night or early in the morning. And he doesn’t appear to be drunk which makes things even weirder. You have no idea where he goes, what he does and whether you should be worried that he might be a criminal or not. You better stick to just ‘hello’ when talking to this neighbour and never ask him anything because you know what happened to the curious cat, right? It became a victim of its really mysterious neighbour.

4.The fighting couple.
These neighbours fight with their spouse in the open and keep throwing offensive words at each other. They just disturb the peace of the neighbourhood.

5.The Copy Cats � The Me Too Neighbours
If you are noticing a pattern of your neighbours having the same things you possess from quite some time now, then you can rule out the option of it being a sheer co-incidence – it’s called copying. These are the type of neighbours who have no clue about what they want to buy and would just end up buying/doing the same set of things that you do, just to fit in. They would scan everything in your home if invited for a chat and when you go to their house, a replica of it would be there too.

6.The Constant Borrowers
It’s a pleasant Saturday morning and you hear somebody knocking at your door. Surprise! The same neighbour who keeps asking you for something or the other is here again asking you for a cup of sugar. These are the neighbours who make complete utilization of the word “HELP” and would constantly keep borrowing things from you. If you have these type of neighbours consider adding a separate list in your monthly budget called “Neighbours list”!

7. Alcoholic neighbour.
Someone is knocking at your door and picking your lock at 1 a.m in the morning? Oh, wait, it’s just your alcoholic neigbhour who is once again on the wrong floor. Someone puked on your doorstep? Who was it this time? – the alcoholic guy next door.

8. The Party Freaks.
These are most likely young people who love to go out for parties and always invite their friends over for a party in their house. The sound of loud music and loud voices is the proof that they are at it again.

9.The Problem Creators
These neighbours are just too fussy about everything you do from moving a chair at your home to having a social event at your home-every single thing of your action bothers them and they are just waiting to gun you down! They are the ones who are unhappy about everything about their neighbourhood and would constantly keep bickering.

10. The Passive neighbor.
This one is just there. He doesn’t make noise or look for trouble. He doesn’t seem to have any problem with anyone and just takes life as it comes. He's just a jolly good fellow. Most persons would like to have him as a neighbour.


Which of these portrays your neighbor? Don't just type the number please! Thank you.

Did not find any description that fits your neighbour? Feel free to add yours.

That no. 3 describes me cheesy
Sorry my neighbours tongue

I have this neighbour who usually send her teenage daughters to come and charge lamps and torchlights anytime I put on my gen. and they sometimes bring their phones for charging and I dont have any problem with that. But one day when I was in the thick middle of things, they came knocking and I refused to open the door and to my annoyance, the kept on knocking, trying the door handle because they knew I was inside. I was forced to attend to them so I can enjoy my glorious moment but with a stern warning. They also have an habit of standing by the gate to catch a view of my female visitors when im seeing them off.

I can say am a bit mysterious but the passive type. All i do is hello, hii, how was ur day, fine, it ends there cos i dnt have time fr gossips i pay my dues as when due, greet everybody but dont enter anybody's house, dont borrow anything frm anyone i manage what ever i have, no friend no enemy, mind my business, if someone is in need and it gets to my notice i help if i have, not a busy body in anyone's affair. the truth of the matter is i gradually earn my self respect cos no one in the compound knows anything serious about me, all they know is my name, i go to work , my religion, where i come from - Case Close!!! grin
