To ask what you call your neighbours

Inspired by this thread I thought I would ask what names you have for your neighbours, with their specific traits.
We have
the ageing hippies, self explanatory
there's 50 pence, son of one set of neighbours who plays offensive gangsta rap really loud when his parents go out and smokes weed
the jacks live at the end of our shared drive, they've made a parking area where they shouldn't have, forked out for expensive drive resurfacing but won't pay towards the shared area and always put their bins on the edge of our garden on bin day

AIBU to ask for yours?

Apart from this whose names I know (most of my neighbours) I have
The Irish dog woman (who doesn’t speak to x).
The bike guy
The high court judge - actually think he is Supreme Court but I forget his name
head scarf woman (i think hair loss)
The footballer/cabbie family
‘I bloody love you’ - guy who shouts this about once a month when drunk and locked out of house by girlfriend
‘You ain’t comin in’ - said girlfriend. This can go on for hours but is strangely not annoying.
The lovely lads/beautiful boys
The bin woman (long story)
The tanner - sits in sun every chance she gets
Dolly’s (dog) mum
Blondie (male)
Above x - those in flat with constantly changing bods who live above friend
Ethel’s (dog) mum
The slave owner - very long history and apologies for this phrase but it’s to do with how he treats his dog walker and other people he employs who he considers minions.
Lexus parker - lives in different street always parks outside my house.
Mews drug dealer (suspected - never say this to anyone but my dp)
Skinny cyclist
Guy with hat - we all know who we mean a fixture on neighbouring road
Good looker - really gorgeous older guy.
Gym bob.

The guy with the van 🙄
That idiot across the back
We also have some lovely neighbours who are called by their normal names 😀

SoleBizzz · 19/02/2019 23:58

One set cannot go five seconds without family visiting. All day from 7am to midnight during Summer. I don't know a family like.them. Mom Dad in laws siblings uncles neices cousins

Other set are nosey, trouble making, gossioing liar knobhead mother of a druggie and her creepy boyfriend.

Cunts.....
Bob and badger........
The Adams Family.......
Obviously not to their faces, luckily I don’t see them very often.....out in the sticks with big gardens and private drives but still I’m longing for the for sale signs to go up

Sparkles07 · 20/02/2019 00:01

By their house numbers. "Her at 25 is really annoying, and him at 25 isn't much better"

SummersB · 20/02/2019 00:02

SusieQ5604 · 20/02/2019 00:02

We have the Deaf Man and "Uncle Bob", who has feral cats and the Used Car Lot where about 20 people (4-5 families) live in a house meant for one family, and everyone has their own damned car.

Serenity45 · 20/02/2019 00:02

My DH calls immediate neighbour 'fucknuts' (bit harsh IMO he's not that bad). We do both call him and his wife either John and Yoko or Chas and Dave depending on what mood we're in when they start playing piano and singing at 7am on a cunting Sunday

RedWineIsFabulous · 20/02/2019 00:04

Lazy fat cunt
Filthy bitch with the black nets
Atlantic hero
Mr Rat
Lord Froth

BettyBigBollocks · 20/02/2019 00:07

Mr Next Door (attached to us)
Yellow house (it’s just a yellow garage door)
Weird house
Woman that lives in slut family’s old house (bit of a mouthful)
The old man
The boringtons

Dread to think what they call us! We used to live next door to someone called Georgina but I felt she looked more like a Ruth, forgot it wasn’t her actual name and wrote it in a bloody Thank You card to her. Could have been worse!

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 20/02/2019 00:10

Next Door and anyone else I refer to by the house number. DH knows their names. I’m not a very sociable neighbour!

goose1964 · 20/02/2019 00:14

The bitch next door and the nice ones not the bitch next door

MiamiLogic · 20/02/2019 00:23

The people over the road from my mum’s are car collectors. We ended up calling them The Carbon Footprints

MiamiLogic · 20/02/2019 00:24

Oh and Dog Walking Woman who became Dog Walking Bitch once my mum caught her throwing bags of dog muck into our shrubs!

barefaced · 20/02/2019 03:04

My dad called our neighbour Garibaldi as in the biscuit because he was bald. His name wasn't Gary but mum kept getting it mixed up when saying hello

CoolJule43 · 20/02/2019 07:40

Mr Shitty Brown (they used to have a garage door in diarrhoea brown);
The Unworthys (unpleasant family whose surname was Worthington).

The rest are all nice, decent people so we refer to them by their proper names.

justilou1 · 20/02/2019 07:48

We have lovely Audrey’s mum. (Audrey is a golden retriever.) No idea what her owner’s name is, but she’s lovely, and so is Audrey - as are all Goldie’s. On the other side we have The Racist No Thank You’s. (No Thank You is what we say whenever we have been invited over for drinks and racist diatribe - because my kids and I are all blonde, I think they’re trying to convert us. Bleurgh!)

MotherOfDragons90 · 20/02/2019 07:50

We have Sweaty Head. He’s bald and goes out for a run every day and returns with the wettest, shiniest head imaginable.

Also Nice Carol and Horrible Carol. We have two neighbors called Carol and one is really nice and the other is a bit moany = Horrible Carol.

We call these people their nicknames so frequently it’s hard not to actually address them as such when we see them face to face!

BagofTeeth · 20/02/2019 08:10

Forgot about two more along the road.

Tits McGee (not to be confused with Big Boob Lady, Big Boob Lady is lovely and around 40 years older than Tits McGee)

and Party House.

FortunaMajor · 20/02/2019 08:15

I live next door to a Ned Flanders type so the family are collectively known as The Okelydokelys.
