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 have The Scruffy House. The one with broken toys and bin bags in the garden which the council haven't collected because they can't be arsed to understand and action simple recycling.

There is one neighbour I refer to as xx Jim (not allowed to say the word on here) as he likes a bonfire in a metal drum.

PeeWee-
The hoobs- other neighbor's gave this nn
Pervey perverson- always looks at your boobs

We used to live next to Mr and Mrs Lungs. Pretty self explanatory.
Currently we have Mrs Mad Pet Lady but I can't call her that as she no longer has a garden lined with hutches stuffed with small animals.
We have Man Racer - owns two cars that look like they've been used for racing but are mostly in bits. He's too old to be a "boy" racer too!
I suspect I'm probably known as Mrs Grumpy or similar.

We used to live next door to Mrs Fussy Knickers. We live in Greater `London so neighbours don’t tend to mix much but she wouldn’t even smile or say hello when we passed. We lived there 18 years and no one on either side for about 4 houses had moved in that time so even us stand offish Southerners had some fairly emotional farewells when we moved out, but not her. She didn’t even return my wave as we drove off.

We used to live next to a man and his adult son, who were apparently lovely but one night our house flooded when DP was on nights in the Highlands and I ran out to see if anyone could help me get the kids out (2 babies and an older child with ASN) because I was terrified of a fire.

The son was getting out of his car (3am he did security) and I begged him to help me just get the kids outside. He gawped a bit and then just walked away.

He was henceforth referred to as "useless man" (in the tone of announcing a superhero)

Currently we have Boab the twat (Boab is Scottish for Bob) in our street and that's it. Everyone else is lovely!

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 25/04/2019 18:20

I know my immediate neighbours well enough that they have actual names but we also have 'those selfish prats' who live on the end of our terrace, 'the idiots with the husky' at the other end and 'Linda from round the corner' - her name almost certainly isn't Linda and I wouldn't know as she never speaks but toddler DS saw her a while ago and that's what he called her so it's stuck. He likes her very much Grin

Veronicat · 25/04/2019 18:22

My neighbour on the next farm is "whistling willie". Then the next farm over is "that peacock wanker" Then we have "the runaway toffs" as they have their own airfield and after them its " that bloke off the telly and his " that bloke off the tellys lovely wife. Shes American you know".

ALongHardWinter · 25/04/2019 18:29

My (adult) Dd and I do this. Not just with neighbours,but with regular customers in the coffee shop. We've got Mr. Toilet Trouble (can never get the code for the toilet door to work and has to ask a member of staff to help),Man of Many Jackets (has a different one on every time we see him),Mr. Slurp (noisily slurps his tea),and Mrs. Clip-Clop (noisy shoes). I hate to think what they might call me. Grin

AngelOfDeathNix · 25/04/2019 18:38

We had Mr and Mrs Scumbag, but Mrs Scumbag ran off with another bloke, so now we have Mr Scumbag and his tart of the week!

oooerrmissus · 25/04/2019 18:39

Does anyone else fit one of the descriptions and is frantically staring at their neighbours feeling paranoid 😂

HildaAlida · 25/04/2019 18:43

Johnny-five-cars (consistently has, at the very least, 3 vans and 2 cars piled up at the front of his house)

PortiaCastis · 25/04/2019 18:58

I have lifeboat Ken one side and bitchy Barbara boobjob on the other so called because she's had an enormous breast enhancement and bitches about everything from her doorstep.

HotChocolateLover · 25/04/2019 19:05

We used to have Cone Lady. This is because she would reserve ‘her space’ outside her house with cones 🤬 I’m aware that this is severe CFery on MN and is probably worth death by traffic cone! We used to just move them but she’d knock and tell us to move them! No way.

MrBobLoblaw · 25/04/2019 19:11

Cat lady up the road
Miserable gits at the end of the road

CharbaLabaDingDong · 25/04/2019 19:37

'The twat with the van' who likes to park it outside my house and make loads of banging and grinding noises in it until 10 o'clock at night.

CookieSwirlC · 25/04/2019 19:38

Our (hated) next door neighbours are called Bitchface, Knobhead and their son Ratboy.

Tootyfilou · 25/04/2019 19:39

In a previous house we had, Mrs Cutout ( Monty Python character), the Lechers ( because he was !). In this house we have “the smokers” so christened by my daughter who was aghast at seeing one of the smoking when they moved in. She was about 10, going through her Jane Austin phase. She is less judgmental now 😂

Wiches of insert village name
