There was a thread like this a while ago (cant find it) and it made me laugh because me and DP have nicknames for our neighbours too...
Mr Mercedes - drives a mercedes
Nosy Nora - self explanatory really Grin

Anymore?

We’ve got a few:

  • “Midwife on the corner” - obvious reasons. I should really know her name considering our kids go to the same nursery Blush
  • “Crazy dog shit lady” - older, very eccentric lady with a couple of tiny lap dogs that she lets shit on people’s front lawns, looks around to see if anyone has seen the dog shit, and once she’s confident she’s not been seen, off she goes, leaving behind the steaming turd Hmm I hid round a corner near my front window once and watched her do it on my front lawn, so I waited until she started walking, then popped out the front door with a plastic bag and said “Excuse me!!! I think you’ve forgotten something on my lawn Smile” - my front garden is no longer used as a public toilet for her dogs, but all my other neighbour’s lawns are Hmm

Oh and “High-Vis Rottweiler Guy” - absolutely mountain of a man, walks his Rottweiler at the same time every morning wearing a full length high-vis jacket, shorts and work boots Grin he looks like a flasher who likes to be seen at night Grin Very nice man, just has questionable fashion sense Grin

Yokohamajojo · 25/04/2019 14:36

Oh we have Poodle man (his hair is long and very curly) Smile

Easterbunnyhashoppedoff · 25/04/2019 14:36

Yokohamajojo · 25/04/2019 14:37

My old next door neighbour was known as dickhead by the neighbourhood after he and his wife moved in and made everyone's lives a living hell.

We also have Isa named after the character from Still Game. We know her real name as she went to school with my Mum. My Mum has to be careful when talking to her now not to call her Isa as it's rubbed off into her now.

We used to have Mr Toilet Roll, who would bulk buy then stagger past carrying a mountain of them. We hurriedly changed it to Mr Nice Man after DS2 (approximately 3) said ‘Hello Mr Toilet Roll’ one day. I don’t think he was heard, but thought it best.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 25/04/2019 14:42

These are the non-outing ones-
“The phantom bin basher”
“The fly mowers”
“Noisy antisocial fuckers”
“The odd one”
“Them with sheets for curtains”
“Her that drives the kids to school”

Misery guts on the corner

The showies

Flanders after the Simpsons' neighbour. He had a similar haircut and moustache although greying. Kept the car and gardens very neat. Nice family and over time as we knew eachother better, it was tough to remember their real names instead.

Chancewouldbeafinethlng · 25/04/2019 14:54

Hot pants on the corner. She cleans her car with hot pants on every time.

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/04/2019 14:54
