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?

Totally outing, but there's a lady in the village I grew up in who's known as Big Bum Barbara.
She doesn't even have a big bum, but she's a real busybody who has upset so many people with her nasty comments and holier than thou attitude. No one can remember who called her it first, but its now a known nickname throughout the village...

In our old place we had:

Fat driving lesson boy (he went on a driving lesson the first time we seen him, and it stuck from there) and his brother 'irrelevant boy' who we always thought seemed forgotten about by his family
Lara Croft
Shiney van man (washed his van literally every single day)

Knowivedonewrong · 20/02/2019 10:26

Old Lady
Portsmouth's House
Twatty Boyfriend. 🤣🤣

DM had a couple opposite her who were always referred to as the newlyweds. They had been when they moved in but the name stuck even when their younger son (born about 6 years after the wedding...) left home.

WoollyMummoth · 20/02/2019 13:38

Next door by their names as they’re lovely.
Also have PV(short for pervert)cos he’s creepy
Bob(as in the builder) because there’s always a skipful of rubble outside his house
The elderly lesbians because they are

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 20/02/2019 13:42

The cougar... V long and interesting salacious gossip story!
Weirdos that never leave the house
Nice neighbours ours, they get their names...

HeronLanyon · 20/02/2019 19:58

We had a real tragedy on the road a few years ago and that house and whoever lives in it (don’t know them currently) are simply called by the house number. None of us want to use the old neighbours names or allude to what happened etc. Just realised how much it affected us all.

Autumnchill · 20/02/2019 20:20

Mrs Dust. She sweeps the pavement with a dustpan and brush Hmm

pisspawpatrol · 20/02/2019 20:30

To one side we have Mr and Mrs Nextdoor and their kids Big one and Little one, because we knew their names six years ago but have since forgotten (we avoid conversation where their names would be used) And the other side we refer to him interchangeably as his first name and Mr surname.

juneybean · 20/02/2019 20:32

Simon and Bill but if we are ever talking about them we say Simon in a particular way as it's the way Bill shouts of Simon..

pisspawpatrol · 20/02/2019 20:37

Oh there's also the knobhead across the road who don't park properly. At our old house we also had shouty couple who were constantly having loud, violent arguments. We were going out one day and were very surprised to see shouty woman leaving in a wedding dress. They got married and had a baby but they still were screaming at each other all the time. We moved away in the end so no idea what happened to them.

Brilliantidiot · 20/02/2019 20:39

I'm known as "The single mum in the flat" or "The one who works nights" by the nicer neighbours.
Downstairs are "Them downstairs" him particularly to my DD is "Creepy neighbour"
Nice lady over the road and her DH and 4 dogs are "Them with the 4 (dog's breed)"
Arsehole over the road who moans about my non existent car blocking his drive (random parkers but despite being told I don't drive he always shouts at me!) Is well "Arsehole over the road"
And others by name except "Him with them fucking dogs on extendible leads"

8feet12paws2fins · 20/02/2019 20:42

At one end of the terrace him at the end, at the other end of the terrace them at the end, 2 sets of neighbours are called by their names, another neighbour I call dad (because he actually is) and another neighbour we call news of the world.
Pretty boring really Smile

Justgivemesomepeace · 20/02/2019 20:43

Weirdos next door, army lads mum, the fireman, the addams family (they never open the curtains and she has blue or yellow hair), and phil and elaine.

WiddlinDiddlin · 20/02/2019 21:18

Dread to think what mine call me, probably the noisey fat bitch..

One side are The Clampetts (cos theres billions of em) though I found out recently my sister used to call the matriach Clampett 'World of Leather' for tan related reasons...

The otherside are dogsname Owners cos we know their dogs name, but not theirs.
