Nicknames for the neighbours

[FrankButchersDickieBow]

Are we being unreasonable for not knowing our neighbours real names and have nicknames for them instead?

We have Mr P - Mr perfect, you know the type, wears his charity t-shirt going for his jog, reels his washing line in when the clothes are dried, wears tartan for golfing etc.

Onslo and Daisy, argue on the street, loves a velor tracksuit,

The horse whisperer - walks bandy legged, obsessed with horses, has it on their letterbox

The Young Ones - only young couple who live in the street and always have people round

The Exhibitionist-loves to get out the shower and trot round naked in his room after a shower

Batty old art teacher - curly hair, does yoga, smokes weed

Shagarada - heard her shagging one night whilst we were in the garden, she had her windows open.

My name, is Michael Caine, and I am a nosey neighbour

Anyone else use nicknames?

Yes! We have Grandma (what her GC always yell when they pull into her driveway nextdoor) uphill, Those Damn Dogs and their owners nextdoor downhill. Across the street from left to right we have the Road Warrior (he's a MAMIL) and his wife, whose DD went to school with ours, nice folks, then across the street are the Ralphs because neither of us can remember his last name. Ralph lives with Mrs. Ralph and sometimes the Little GrandRalphs come to visit for the day. Finally, we have the New Neighbors, only because they haven't done anything nickname-worthy yet. They're a welcome replacement though for the Shouty Family who were basically our US version of Onslow and Daisy.

Yep, but based on their back gardens we can see from our house.

We have Airport toilet, who are neighbours with lots of lights in their back garden on all night, and once couldn’t be bothered to go inside to pee, so just peed against their house so the toilet part was a recent addition to their name.

BBQ as they had a BBQ what felt like every other day at least in the first lockdown, though they have since moved so we will see what the next ones will be called

Astro with the astroturf

Yes! We have 'Talking Girl', 'Army Guy', 'Danny the Drugdealer' , 'The hoarders' and 'The Matriarch' amongst others.
One day it dawned on me that the neighbours could have a name for me...

Oh definitely! I am so bad at remembering peoples names anyway but for some reason all my neighbour have nick names. But to be fair majority of my neighbours are really odd/creepy or complete twats! So they don’t have nice nicknames so I best not share them. (Have quite a few neighbours as live in flat)

Years ago we had downstairs neighbours that I and a friend who also lived in our block called (very rudely) Dollop, and her Mum we called Cabbage! We had a
Name for her useless bully of a husband too, I can't remember it now but must have been even more rude!

Our neighbours nicknames are based on their dogs/dog walking style as we are at the prime observation point for the village loop. We have;
Friday night dinner- has no control over the dog. She can often be seen crossing the same road multiple times just because the dog wants to.
Frenchie- we thought she spoke to the dog in French but it turns out she is Dutch but Frenchie stuck.
Guard dog- both as menacing as they sound
Cuddles- 6ft bloke with a mouth like a foghorn but he has a little fluffy thing
Crufts- provinces up and down the street with her highly groomed large rat

We have

Policeman's baby (told our children a police man lives 2 doors down and has a new baby so need to be quiet after 7.... there's deffo no baby nor police man but it works! )

Blondie ..... even though she's now dark

Tree man..... loves his trees

Mrs tigger..... was shouting late at night tigger for her lost cat. So name stuck

Dogger..... goes out every night 930 back at 11. Can't think what else he'd be upto

Plain Jane.... because she bores me

The shaggers..... obvious reasons

The swingers.... because they have a huge pampas grass outfront.

Creepy crydays..... I know her from school and that's what she was called by teachers 🤣

Would love to know what my neighbours call us 🤣🤣🤣

We have

Mr Mercedes - obsessed with his car

Postman - hes a postman

Tim in the corner - i don't actually know his name but he looks like a Tim

The reindeer man - he has plastic reindeer at Christmas on his front lawn

Slapper and Slap next door. Named for their nocturnal activities. The reason we had soundproofing put on the party walls to save our young children from being forever traumatised.

We have 'the Margaret Thatcher of (name of our road) Road' because she puts 'Vote Conservative' signs up in her garden at every election, and used to host our rather infamous Tory MP to supper which she invited the whole street to - I never went.

Despite our differing politics I have warmed to her over the years and I do know her real name but still the nickname sticks.

Not many neighbours here, but there's a couple with the last name of King, so we make remarks such as, "Ah, I saw the King this morning." and "I met the Queen on the road just now." He's retired, now, but they used to come and go a lot, frequently one literally right after the other, so there were frequent references to royal processions, etc.

There's a family a little further off that we call "The Parrot People" because... ta-dah... they used to own a very loud parrot that you could hear from far away. It's probably been more than a decade since the parrot went to its reward, but they're still "The Parrot People".

We have

Mr summer - lives to the back of our flat, we overlook his garden and every summer he spends all day and most evenings in his garden, top less listening to the radio or wartime music, with a can of cider.

The can't drive family-live next to Mr summer so we can also see into their courtyard garden. They have 3 cars between them (parents plus adult son and his girlfriend... We think) but none of them can actually drive their cars and when they do, they are constantly just swapping the order of the cars on their drive.

Mr Piss head - lives in the next block of flats, lovely chatty bloke but always pissed. We both think we know him from somewhere but can't place him. Always has a bottle of strong cider in his hands.

Moaning mertyl - old woman who lives downstairs who likes to slip into conversation that she can hear our children.... All the fucking time. We actually know her name but she's still acquired a nickname for all her shit.

Crazy raver - lives slightly up the path from us but we can see his house and especially his windows from our prime spot. He is the most placid looming bloke but every night the attic window of his house is flashing away like some kind of night club. We dont know why, can't hear music to go with it or anything.

Garlic man
The bandy legged boat man
Rubber Johnny.
The red tyffd

We don't but the man opposite once let slip that he and his wife have really unkind nicknames for everyone. He didn't say what they call us and I dread to think.

Tractor Man - as he's always on his bloody tractor

Creepy Guy down the road - as he sleeps during the day and has the habit of walking about with his dog at night and a torch

Flag boy across the street-flies his flag 24/7. Asshole cop next door.

Loving these nicknames

We just have "Little Bitch", a well dressed young Dutchman who's extremely loud and has friends over all the ttime. He once got into an argument with a houseguest and the other man called him a little bitch. The Dutchman chased the bloke out of his house, shouting, "How dare you call me a little bitch in my own home! You're the little bitch!" It was an entertaining evening for us -- we couldn't help but overhear.

And of course his wife is Mrs. Little Bitch.

Although I have to say, they're nice enough and not at all bitchy to us.

Mr and Mrs Overtheroad and their children the little Overtheroads.
The Loons.
Professor Dickhead.
Wanda (she wanders)
Phone Guy
Horse

The Lycra man ( very much a MAMIL) it’s all about the Sunday bike ride... all the gear, no idea - but only ever on a Sunday!
The Wacky Iraqi ... the most racist, offensive, cheeky fecker I have ever known!! Demands you lend him stuff (ladders, strimmer etc) and if you dare to say no, you get a stream of foul abuse, accusing you of just about everything , mainly racism!!
The Door slammers... slam every bloody door and window multiple times before going out to the car, where all the damn doors are also then slammed!! Live over the road and up a bit, yet I swear their sodding slamming wobbles my house!
“Bloody B*l” literally the nosiest person I have ever known!! Is able to tell me if I was a couple of minutes early or late for work on any given day!! Me... and the entire street!! Is well into her 90s with no sign of expiring yet😱 Does not miss a trick!!
The “Furry Beach balls Mum and Dad” ... dog-parents to a gorgeous little scruff of a dog who had steroids and became very very round!! Never actually knew the dog-parents name!

Sex neighbours
Dog killers
The Americans
The chicken people

Ooh, forgot ... “it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to” so named after a lot of crying overheard at an evening party down the road from us!! Accompanied by loads of bottles being chucked in the recycling bin!
Also “Stevie Wonder” a girl who just could not park.. we used to gather with a cup of tea to watch the many attempts at parking.

Airport - so many solar lights I'm surprised we've not had a Boeing land in our street.

Mr and Mrs Feral - let their kids run riot from 6am til 11pm, the never ending screaming and they let the youngest one (he's 5) drink red bull!

Those bastard dogs - speaks for itself

Yes I have:
Neighbour with an attitude (NWA for short) who polices everything from parking to lawn length via bin collection.
Lovely Lady (so-called by another neighbour and it has now stuck)
The Shitbags (neighbours from hell)
Shagging dogs (their dogs constantly humping each other and any other dog)
Drain man (he’s always moaning about the blocked gulleys)
Cheech & Chong (blazers)
Boot-faced bitch (me!)

We have b-boy and fat arse one side. The crazy bitch over the back and the ‘family perfect’ the other side. Instead to think what they call us 🤣

*I dread
