Love them or hate them but you can’t live without them
A big part of moving into a new house is the neighbourhood. Humans are social beings and having the right kind of neighbour is important whether you stay out of their sight or you wave at them every time you spot them from your porch. Now, not every neighbour would be the same kind. Your usual family of four opposite to your house might be the chilliest family you have ever seen, Or the nosy Rosie living adjacent to you makes you want to dodge their line of sight. Your friendly neighbour Andy and Suresh are the biggest workaholics who you rarely ever see and the old lady Sushma makes the best food in the neighbourhood.
Point is, neighbours come in all shapes, sizes, personalities. Here’s the 7 types of neighbours we’ve all had at least once.
The I-have-a-problem-with-everything neighbour
The kind who always seems to have a problem with every house around. They complain when you have company over and playing music past 6 PM seems to bother them. Not only that, they seem to give you stink eye for little things you do, even as something simple as keeping the lights on too late.
The one that is always fighting
Oh, the noisy ones. They wake the entire neighbourhood with late night fights or middle of a Sunday bickering. They are the kind of neighbours that make you want to hint at a therapist or sort things out between themselves.
The one with kids
That one house with many kids running around in the yard. Chances are the kids have tossed a ball or two in their neighbour’s house and have come over to retrieve their ball. Kids, a lot of fun but things can get annoying if the kids scream at the littlest things and make their parents scream too.
The nice neighbour
What a blessing must it be to have a nice neighbour. You know the super cool neighbour who is easy going and doesn’t seem to get tilted by anything and want to solve neighbourhood problems in the most peaceful way possible. They don’t really trouble anyway and is always cordial.
The borrowers
They wake you up on a fine Sunday morning to ask for some masala or some sugar perhaps. They don’t mean any harm; they are always running out of household items and end up borrowing things from your kitchen.
The I-Don’t-care neighbours
Seriously, you barely see them and frankly they don’t seem to want to interact or have any communication with the neighbours.
