I hope my neighbors know me as the slut across the street.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 38 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Thanks ThotDragon, to me you're now the slut from across the fediverse. 🩵

Yep. We call some of our neighbors:

  • Boy-next-door (he’s actually a dude in his 50s)
  • Stilgar (because he kinda resembles Javier Bardem’s Stilgar)
  • Boom boom house (because they have those obnoxious subwoofers in their car and you can hear them coming from a mile away)
  • Barn house (because the paint color of their house makes it look like a barn)
  • Young couple (they look like our age and have no kids, although I think we’re pretty much older than them)
  • Karen (no explanation needed. We all have the neighborhood Karen. Thankfully she’s several streets away and we only feel her presence in the neighborhood group chat)

Yes. Most of them are "fentanyl zombie" followed by a number.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

So do you reuse the number or keep counting up

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Use their house number for accuracy. You don't want to be spreading gossip about the wrong fentanyl zombie.

I can't remember all my neighbours names (thou I often greet them), but I know their dogs name :-)

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is me too. All my neighbors names are “Sunny’s Mom” or “Legolas and Gimli’s Dad”

Also, Gimli is a Corgi and I love their owners so much for this.

Also, Gimli is a Corgi and I love their owners so much for this.

We all love their owners, now. That is delightful.

I have helped my neighbor across the halls kid with his gaming PC.

Couldn't tell ya her name, but the dog below me with a heart problem is named Sophie, the neighbors down the hall have cats named Mink and Stink, and a few buildings down there's a lady with two huskies one named Pogs and the other Skips (Skips has 3 legs)

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

One of my neighbors is Lucrezia and she offered to spell it for me and I was like "It's cool, I got this, everyone knows the Borgias..."

I couldn't tell if she was impressed or horrified.

[–] trublu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"Sugar"

Because we were working in the garage and she came over. Dressed in tight, revealing clothing with her breasts pushed up, she asks us a few times if we want to buy any sugar. We were certain she wasn't talking about baking, but we weren't sure if she was a sex worker or offering booger sugar. So henceforth, she became Sugar. We're pretty gay, but not sure if she read that. So maybe it was the latter?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

Have you tried being gayer?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I have

Johnny Derp - looks like as if Depp was a recovering meth-head

Thicc Ass - the girl that always lets her poodle out in the back yard to shit

Karen - close enough to her real name but sure acts like it

London bros - they are hicks with no etiquette of living in a community. Also they are actually from Guelph, I think...

Frenchman - he's actually from France and works at a Fromagerie

The Thief - old dude who picks the berries and tomatoes in the alley

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I'd like to meet thick ass

[–] tehWrapper@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I have lived in my house long enough that people around have changed and until I meet them and know their real names they are assigned the last persons name and a version number.

Like Mr. Wilson 2.0

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What's that lady across the streets number?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 7 months ago

Guy obviously having an affair, wine mom, right wing boomer #42, right wing boomer #43...

I know the names of all their dogs.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

My father’s neighbor has always been “Ms Waldi” to me. 10 years after my mom and I moved out from his house, my dad told me when I was visiting that that’s not her real name.

That lady used to have a dachshund. “Waldi” is a common German name for them (or dogs in general), so my mom used to call her that. My dad copied my mom and I my dad. I still don’t know that woman’s real name.

Oh, and my dad’s new one also calls her by that name.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

40 year old child. -seen his dad have to come by and teach his kid how to run a lawnmower.

Lumina guy - at one point had 3 Chevy lumina's

Blue meanie- built like the blue meanies from yellow submarine

Guy fieri- haven't talked to this guy yet, cause I have no interest in going to flavortown with him.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There's rabbit girl, who is this anorexic as fuck lady who runs about 20 miles a day, looks just like a sinewy, starved rabbit hop hop hopping along

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Do you live in Media, PA by any chance? This sounds like the exact description of a woman that runs through my neighborhood and has to be in her 70s at least. It's not even running, it's more of this asymmetrical skip-hopping motion. I've never seen anyone or anything look less healthy.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming by the whimsical look on her face that the grandma is a redhead with no plants.

I don't even know my neighbors enough to assign them labels like that. I just like keeping to myself.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I have killed a bottle of tequila with my neighbor and still don't know his name. Labels are like, just suggestions anyway man.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

I like the "quotes" sometimes, but this trend of screenshots of people looking around distracts me.

...I mean, at least look towards where the quote is gonna be.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Tractor man, stupid dogs, horse people, fast truck, guy who waves, people across the way.

Yeah, I’m rural

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I have yet to meet "gorilla-looking dude who yells at his step-son and his lawnmower in public" who lives across the street, or even made eye contact with him. And no, this is not some variant of racism on my part -- gorilla-looking dude is white but looks much more like a gorilla than any black dude I've ever seen.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Jan 6er has a for sale sign up up and Carehome's been rather quiet.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I've got the crazy Germans, the I do yard work and just blow it in the street, the mysterious door dash only guy who might have a harem in his basement, and the fat polite guy who asks if he can park in front of my house so the time.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

I work IT a fortune 500 company with like 60k-100k employees. Moved in last month and what do ya know, two houses down is a manager for an application I support. What're the chances.

Gonna suck when he comes knocking or giving me evil eyes for issues I didn't cause.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Just the one "asshole on the corner"

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 7 months ago

The junkie cunts across the road.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I'm sure they have nicknames for us, but I think of them as houses before people. "House with loud dog" "The Name House" "The First Name House" "proselytizer house"

First name house and name house are not those families anymore. Those people either died or moved out.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Being friends with your neighbours is OP

Just walking next door for your next game night or drinking and chilling? Fuck yeah

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

No, but I'm a cashier and I have nicknames for my customers.

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 4 points 7 months ago

Sure thing 'Lady with glasses who never says a thing'.

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

We remember the names of their dogs, and use those.

So it's "Rex's Mum" and "Fido's sister"

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Say... Can you introduce me to your neighbors?
