My sister and I have had this running joke for many years about naming our neighbors. We have both moved so many times in the last 5 years, that we never stay anywhere long enough to really meet or get to know our neighbors. So, we are left wondering who these people are and what they are REALLY up to! LOL!
Through hours, days, months, and years of observation, we have come across SO MANY different characters through apartment and townhouse living...
I'll give you some examples:
"The Rednecks" - These were some guys who lived next door to me in a very rural area of Virginia. They were SUPER nice and would mow my yard when they mowed their own. It was two dudes living together as roommates. They would have raging parties where everyone would drive 4-wheelers and go hunting together. When they came home, there would be deer strung up in the trees for gutting... Fun stuff!
"The Domestics" - This was a couple that lived below me in an apartment complex who had almost NIGHTLY domestic disputes. I could hear every word of their arguments and all of the insults screamed at each other. One night, the wife/girlfriend/whatever threw all of the dude's clothes off the second-floor balcony and threw his cell phone onto the parking lot...
"The Eminems" - These boys lived across the hall from my sister's apartment in the same complex as above... There were three of them living as roommates. They were in their early 20s or so. Every afternoon, they would all come home from work BLASTING Eminem on their car stereos. They were fond of loud parties, arguing with baby mamas in the parking lot, and ended up getting raided by ATF one day, where they found PILES of stolen electronics and lots of cocaine.
"Mr. Side-Eye" - This old man lives below my mom's condo. When you go outside at all to do ANYTHING, he stands at his little gate and stares you down. He stares and stares. He makes comments about your dog's poop and how we aren't supposed to go fishing in the lake behind the condos. He likes to point out each and every "condominium association" violation, and WILL tattle tell. He's just really creepy and seems to have nothing better to do than worry about other people's business!
Some others are mostly self explanatory:
"The Wal-Mart Couple" - Always coming home from work with their matching Wal-Mart employee vests, cuddling and canoodling.
"The Mover" - Sounds like he's moving furniture or doing Tae Bo upstairs.
"Walk-of-Shame Girl" - Had TONS of gentlemen callers late at night, seen skulking around in the early morning hours going home in strange vehicles...
"God's G" - Simply put, this was his license plate, and we thought it was funny!
So, as you can see, we have come up with some creative (yet, sometimes not that nice) names for our neighbors that we see out and about in our apartment and townhouse complexes.... I truly hope that we are not the only ones who do this... I guess it's just human nature to observe other people... LOL!

Been there! As a military brat, we moved around a lot, but still remember a few neighbors via nicknames.
You and Sis have seen your share of characters ! Funny ! You're doing OK I hope .
Jeese all I got is the punk kids, the old drug dealer and the drunk as my neighbors. You sould more interesting.
Very cute code names and when the two of you converse and talk about the past all you have to do is say the code name and you each know immediately whom you are talking about. Very clever.
Funny. I just call mine, "The people next door." Maybe I should get more creative.
I have ever done this, but it WOULD be fun!
I have the fastfooders and the hicks on each side of me! Lol
I have some very good neighbors.
How many days, Jessica? I haven't seen the latest count!
You don't want to hear what I call some of my neighbors. Since this post isn't flagged, I can't repeat the names here.
They are funny! We haven't done this...but we very well could!
"The Movers" used to live above us, and The Eminems used to live next door. LOL Now we have a couple next door who thinks Walker's my Daddy. haha Haven't thought of a name for them yet...any suggestions?
We've had some interesting neighbors too. The people across the road from us are "The Pretenders" cause she only is there when her kids come to visit them. Apparently they don't know she has moved out. Its quite funny.
thanks for sharing...
I'm too new here to have any names for anyone, but I had a few for some in my prior subdivision.
I do the samething over where I live, there is these people the mom walks out and then the father and then you see in a line their kids, we call them the ducks...Then we have a lady next door we call her the dinging one, with her boy toy....I'm sure people have names for me too LOL
We name the neighbors too.
My fave was the next door neighbor we had before the current ones, called him The Chipmunk because he was super hot but would hide himself inside the house all day. He reminded us of the chipmunks that ran from spot to spot and avoided being seen, he just went from his car to his house and back.
LOL! I love hearing all of the nicknames! It's so nice to know that we're not the only ones doing this! It's truly not meant to be mean... it's just simply observation of the world. ;) Keep em coming, y'all!
LOL I loved this! It reminded me of some of the weird neighbors we've had and our nicknames for them, which I won't share here. LOL Having neighbors makes me wonder if we are the only normal people on the planet or what our neighbors say about us. LOL
how about ma and pa,,, those folks that sit there and watch the nieghbor from the porch swing,,
I like it when my girlfriends and I can't stand one of the coaches or some guy in the town and we end up saying "I saw your boyfriend the other day..." we all laugh because we know who we are talking about.
LOL! we do the same thing. we did it when i was a kid, and i still do it now!!! i thought i was strange! this is too funny! i love it!
Well, at least your neighbors have earned names that can be repeated in polite company. I've had some who more than earned names not repeatable on an unflagged post.
