We are 10 in the compound including the landlord.
An upstairs.
I don't greet anyone even the landlord.
I go out and go inside my house.
If I wash clothes , rain will beat it if I don't come back to pack.
I don't give a damn.
The stupid married man that married a fat lazy pig living upstairs to my downstairs will sweep rubbish from up and drop it in my frontage.
I won't talk.
They will drink Sachet alcohols and throw it to my frontage.
They will clear ear and throw the stick to my territory.
I just decided to do like they don't exist.
I will just sweep and go.
One female that recently parked in and started putting dustbin at the back of my window .
I just wrote something on paper beside her Dustbin and the following day.
She removed.
I am a one man soldier.
The only business is pay my light bill and any other bills that concern me.

We know the troublesome tribe among us I lived with one werey like that about 8yrs ago this man will put the generator behind my window and I have a less than 2month old baby very useless man. Am thankful God has been guiding me from staying same compound with them again. Am not even a neibor that want to go close to you vice versa just maintain boundaries and we cool.

I had a neighbor similar to that years back while still a bachelor.
He will run his gen set all through the day disturbing me from reading or sleeping coupled with fumes from the generator.
I discussed with him but he said he won't deprive himself because of me.
I dealt with him real bad with my very noisy Jin Lin gen then. When he off his gen by 11pm,I started mine and run it till day break!!
When he complained he was unable to sleep,I simply told him "I can't deprive myself of comfort because of you!"
He got the message and we later aligned..
Only language some neighbor understand is fire for fire

VaginaAcademic:
I used to be a friendly neighbor until it nearly cost me my life. Now I keep to myself to avoid wahala.

Greenlandz:
I am a chronic introvert. I don't mingle that much. I stays indoors . I goes out only in the evening to drink and smoke loud and comes back by 10pm and retired back to my room without speaking to anyone. Am I wicked or uncaring?

essentialone1:
Not completely true. I have lived in different states in Nigeria, due to one thing or the other, like work, school, etc.

I can say what you just said depends on the personality type of your neighbour.

I have had comedians as neighbours. And I have also had monks as neighbours. If you understand what I mean.

trium:
Let me rephrase, "you don't know who your neighbours are until there's a crisis"

It's when there's a fire outbreak, flooding in your house or an emergency, you know who cares about you or who cares about themsleves. Some people are watching out for you without you knowing. They may not talk to you at all but their actions will come through during a crisis.

Unfriendly Neighbours: Narrate your worst experiences living close to them.

MarketDispatch:
Back in the days when there was no mobile phones, ... Neighbors used to be friendly...parties, visits, share foods and gifts to each other, children play in each other's houses to mention but a few... ..All those good old days are now gone with the wind.

There are these two guys in the next flat to mine.

One says he is an entertainer, the neighbours say the other one is a doctor.

At a time, the doctor would come back home around 10-11 p.m., turn on generator. My sister stays in the room close to their flat, so no sleep for her.

I had enough when he had a 3-day prayer of sort. After turning on generator at 11, this guy will start loud prayers and rings a bell along around 1-2 a.m. I, my wife, daughter, and sister could not sleep well for three straight days.

I met him and told him a he had been disturbing the sleep of a whole family. He told me he would adjust, then went on to tell some neighbours my own is too much.

The neighbours seemingly sided with him, because I use solar electricity and I was stopping a neighbour from using generator whenever he wanted.

So I took the issue to the landlord. He has adjusted a little, I only have to deal with his early morning prayers, which are still always loud.

The ones who pretend to be nice by talking to you mostly do so in order to get to know and see how they can take advantage of you. And they are the types that can never be there for you!!

kripen:
No matter what your neighbors is your first aid or saviour in time of emergency. Try to live amicably with them even if they are not friendly, to me God knows why he is closest to you as a neighbor.

I planted a tree in my compound you won't believe my neighbor cut it down not that it is even disturbing him or close to our boundary, when I confronted him lo and behold he told me he doesn't like trees close to houses.
Though I have been noticing him doing fetish things all around his house but still I still maintain my relationship with him. Now he is the one giving me water because he just dug borehole, so no matter what try to live amicably with them.

Smilleydr:
pls do change your lifestyle, you can still be friends with your neighbor by greeting them, play with there children and go your way, because for now you live alone and something might happen a day you need help from them.

essentialone1:
Man is by nature a social animal. We can pretend about this until when we can no longer pretend about it. When crises or emergency happens, then we all realise that no man is an island

spencekat:
He doesn't want to be an extrovert.

sslcrypt:
Been so lucky, never ever had unfriendly neighbors in my entire life. Although I mind my business to the maximum, when you don't open your mouth people can't figure you out so they stay clear.

SporaD8:
No they don't: Instead they peddle all sort of rumour and gossip endlessly behind you.
Pray you find yourself among like-minded neighbors - people who respect others as much as themselves; people who know their life purpose, will not enter into unsolicited competition with every jacks and jones - not people who fight and oppose others for being better than them!
