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 Fishwife the Hedge Warrior. Screeches and swears at us from behind her hedge. Smiles and waves if she sees us in the street.

SospanFrangipan · 25/04/2019 20:36

Santa's little helper- he's into 'helping' everyone, and most of the neighbours make their excuses and go inside if they see him heading over to them 😂🙈

Dickhead - chav next door whose car needs a new exhaust

Hairmumscaremum · 25/04/2019 20:41

We have fat chunks, baldy and spotty one side and the chavs the other, the chav, Mr chav and the chavettte

AngelOfDeathNix · 25/04/2019 20:44

Forgot to add the pyromaniacs next door, seem to burn anything they can!

Justmuddlingalong · 25/04/2019 20:45

The Oddballs live ⬅️ that side. Mr Creepy lives ➡️ that side. I, of course, am a rose between 2 thorns. 🌹

Ohhellothereladyface · 25/04/2019 20:48

Hyacinth - need I say any more
Birdseye - man a few doors up who has a white beard and moustache and generally looks a bit like captain birdseye
Dog Lady - woman who lives a few doors up who has a dog, neither of us know her name and we’ve lived here too long to now ask her

Ohhellothereladyface · 25/04/2019 20:49

Sorry forgot to say we also call Hyacinth the Garden Ninja because she has a habit of leaping out from behind the hedge/car/bin etc

BrightSpells · 25/04/2019 20:50

The cat ladies
The lesbians
Bat lady

RavenLG · 25/04/2019 20:51

Car Wankers and Polish Pornstars are the same house. Always outside cleaning their fleet of 4 cars. Or shagging loudly with the windows open.

Not a neighbour but a guy who is always at our corner shop at the bottom of our street. Always there every weekly day between 5&6 in his high vis with a can of super strength cider. We call him alcoholic joe. He’s got a whole back story.

BruceTheMoose · 25/04/2019 20:52

Tesco lady
David Brent
Norman Bates

Femfresh - she locked her boyfriend out after an argument and he screamed 'your fanny stinks!' through the letterbox.

GhettoFabulous · 25/04/2019 20:53

Cankles next door and Mad Jean across the road. I think the Pig Faced Man died. The Middle Aged Lesbians keep their hedge lovely.

PortiaCastis · 25/04/2019 20:59

Oh God I am laughing at Femfresh and your fanny stinks

These are hilarious

titsmcgee · 25/04/2019 21:00

We've got Egghead (so-called because he used to get "eggy" and shout at kids who breathed near his immaculate garden) and Roy & Hayley because they were basically the couple the Corrie characters must have been based on

Ticklingcheese · 25/04/2019 21:00

The family mill wheel (wheel in front of house)
The Rotherhams, not from Rotherham but cannot remember where
The Jellyfish (neighbor plumber, who fixed our taps)
The Hanssons (they where the Hansson 40 years ago, haven't been for a long time)
The water meterers, used to measure the water temperatures, so we knew what to expect before swimming
Not good with names, this is so much easier 😀.

Zillaindie · 25/04/2019 21:01

We have many, we live at the top of a small cul-de-sac so see everyone.

We have:
Big Baz (aging man called Barry)
Chav chick
Guy with dog
Guy who deals
Transit Twat
Posties lunch time fancy

mimibunz · 25/04/2019 21:02

Crazy David, batshit crazy in a multitude of ways
The mean people, speak to everyone but us
The missing link, grunts and is monosyllabic

The Barbecue People

ParadiseLaundry · 25/04/2019 21:08

These are great!
'Kay's Catalog - he played golf with the local doctor and looked like he'd stepped out of Kay's catalog when doing it.'

For some reason I'm absolutely creased at this GrinGrinGrin

We have:

Lovejoy - it came from the mistaken assumption he was an antiques dealer when we first moved in. I think he actually sells tiles.

The Weirdos On The End - only speak to DH and never acknowledge me at all.

The Weirdos On The Other End - have a DS the same age as ours and often bump into them but the first few times they acted like it was the first time we'd ever met.

The Duchess - has fancy hair.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved - very nice chap who spends a lot of time standing on the street. Is in love with The Duchess.

SnugglySnerd · 25/04/2019 21:08

These are fab!
We have Dog Lady, Dog Couple, Alsation Couple, The People Opposite, Not The People Opposite But Next Door To Them, That Stupid Woman Across The Road, The Driving Instructor, and Garage Man.
Garage Man is lovely and we talk to him often. This has gone on too long to ask him his name now but in my head he's Gary because that's a bit like Garage. One day I'm going to call him Gary and he'll wonder what I'm on about!

Bluelonerose · 25/04/2019 21:11

Gob shite druggies (loud drug dealers)
Druggies (quiet drug dealers)
Old lady
Weirdos with kids
Fat chav mum/dad/ds/dd
Ferret fiddler man (garden FULL of ferrets)
Horsey woman (always rides her horse up the road)
Kelly needs a tele (No idea what her name is but she must have 8+ kids and keeps popping them out)

SuperNoodly · 25/04/2019 21:11

‘Dog Shit Lady’ - let’s her dog shit outside our house and pretends it wasn’t her Angry.

‘Tan Man’ - perma-tanned guy who wears deck shoes and cruising clothes 365 days a year.

‘Chingy’ - bloke who owns the biggest house on our street and has multiple luxury cars parked outside

PippilottaLongstocking · 25/04/2019 21:18

Usually just ‘bloody neighbours’

Wherever we’ve lived we’ve always had a neighbour titled ‘Mad (Name)’

nelsonmuntzslingshot · 25/04/2019 21:19

I’ve thought of a few more of my mum and dad’s gems:
Boomer - bloke who can’t talk, only shout
Dirty Bollocks - male hoarder
Boring Graham - his name isn’t Graham but it’s a befitting one (boring)
Fat Jane Shock

Winterfellismyhome · 25/04/2019 21:21

@Bluelonerose Kelly needs a telly is brilliant!

We have the Shouty Family over our back fence, though the may well call us the same Grin.
