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?

We live next door to the "Arms Dealers". They seem to have a lot of money and keep themselves to themselves.

[TartanPunk]

We have The Perv next door - nosy and looks over fence into our house; the Loud Canadian - because he speaks at such a volume with a deep, booming voice (can hear him speaking in our house if he is in his garden, even with the windows closed); the Twat Parkers - they have 5 cars between 3 adults, have plenty of driveway parking but instead park on the road; the paedo - neighbours told us he looks through a hole in the fence at her daughters; Nice Pete - just a great chap called Peter. Dread to think what we are called!

[ChochoCrazyCat]

@BurnerPhone Haha I think you may have lived on our previous street that we've just moved out of.

We had:
Maureen (unofficial neighbourhood watch)

The hippies

The old punk guys

Crazy couple (that would have domestics at 4am in the street)

Ginger homeless guy (wasn't really homeless but would beg outside local shops)

Knuckle duster granny (little old lady who walks her Bichon Frisée...one day she took her hand out of her pocket and showed me her knuckle duster, which she wore because she'd heard there were "dodgy foreign guys" in the park. "I hit first and ask questions later", she told me)

It was a..."vibrant" area, so to speak. But first time buyers often can't be choosers

[Jasper18]

We have Gareth Chippendale
Gareth likes to strip off in front of his bedroom window, he prepares first by opening the blinds and switching the lights on he then removes all his clothes flings them across the room, stands in window briefly before closing the blinds and turning the light off

[AlwaysLatte]

Haha! Just be careful... we had a postman that always walked around slowly and was always later than any other postman, in a world of his own. I nicknamed him Dozy but once I saw him in town and called out 'Hello Dozy'!

[chloeb8]

This thread has me in stitches 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[Embroideredstars]

Way back in the 90s we had the "Groundforce couple". It seemed like they'd watch every episode of Groundforce and the following weekend start that project off in the garden, showing my age now as I doubt some people even know the show!

The name we had for our direct neighbours was based based in their nocturnal activities!

[BurnerPhone]

I'm enjoying these!

We have;
the hippies,
the chavs,
DHL man,
Maureen 2.0 (previous owner was called Maureen)

In our old place we called the people above us the goons and I very nearly called them that to their face when seeing them in the local pub 🤣

[dysongirl]

Too funny.
So it's pretty normal to have names for your neighbours then?
Thought it was just us

[BluePeterVag]

I was talking to by brother about neighbours. He has

Dog Shit Dave - has 2 dogs, never picks up after them.
Ooompa Loompa - far too much fake tan
Long Distance Clara - she is courier for Amazon

[ConfusedCarrie]

Demon Debbie looks like she's chewing a wasp and thinks she owns the street. Nosey Nora sticks her nose in everything. Storming Norman stamps and barks orders at his kids military style. Tom is short.

[Habbyhadno]

This is amazing, we have:
Audi Man - gets a different Audi every year, was once seen sporting an Audi cap.
Ribenaberry - loves a purple velour tracksuit
The Punchings - husband deffo punching above his weight with his wife.
Babe - once heard her boyfriend call her babe about 20 times in a sentence, so that's stuck.
Them Across the road - live across the road.
Chatty man and his wife - older residents, talk to everyone and knows absolutely everything happening in the area, can't go out of the door before Chattyman pounces
Drug dealers - the son is blatantly a drug dealer

I realise this makes me sound like I live somewhere chavvy, but I definitely don't.

[GigantosaurusRex]

We live next door to 'the pound shop kardashian'

[LoveMySituation]

Posted too soon. Previous was wanking Bob. Due to his special Sunday morning treat

[LoveMySituation]

My current neighbours are the twats, I know their names, but I am beyond fed up of constant door slamming(all doors) annoying yappy ratdog barking, and everything being done as loud as possible

[Menora]

We had Jesus and now we have the vampires 😂

[muttley68]

My neighbours are known as Mr & Mrs Cabbage even though they're brother and sister. They eat 5 cabbages a week between them and she cooks it anytime from 8am for at least three hours at a time. Makes you want to gip when you open the back door. Workman actually heaved when they were rendering the house 😆

[CompleteBarstool]

This thread just popped up in y watched threads and reminded me of another couple from where we used to live:

Fat Bob who was a chubby version of The Cure's Robert Smith

Broomstick boy, a lad of about 18-20 years old who walked as if he had a broomstick shoved up his arse

[funkylittleboatrace]

We have
Dickhead Dad
Penguin looks like ( DannyDevito in Batman Returns)
Fucking Fiona
Drunk Drew

[beginningoftheend]

Yes all of ours, we know a few of their names but mostly refer them by characteristics or their main activities. Dread to think what they call us...

Have got quite a few new neighbours who are nameless so far.

[guffaux]

ihavethehighground

no its just his personalised number plate- should be his initials and part of his last name,but looks more like taekwando (sounds daft i know)- he's a golfer

[ihavethehighground]

@guffaux

taekwando - because his personalised number plate reads more like that than his name

the religious freaks- they sent us a christmas card with a nativity scene (bearing in mind i am a church member and attend very regularly)

the blondes -he was blond and about 15 years ago she had blond streaks for about a fortnight,though he is now grey and she returned to her brunette locks and has remained so ever since

mr he HEH heh heerr- this is his constantly repeated laugh that we hear from spring to late autumn every time we are in our garden- there is no conversation,just this fucking laugh!

dino de horrendous and son - remember dino from the flintstones? her loud voice sounds just like dino's yapping,and she yaps away at her teenage son constantly-bet he leaves home as soon as he's 16

the saviours- a nice young couple who bought the house (saved us all) from a snooty pain in the arse who used to snarl up everyones parking by taking two spaces on the opposite side to where everyone else parks,leaving her drive empty (i know she had the right to do so.but the houses on her side have drives,the opposite side dont.and she parked in front of her house causing a chicane,which left two spaces unusable)

i dread to think what we might be called by others- the judgemental twats no doubt!

I hope this isn't our taekwondo instructor? Flashy sport car ?

[cungryhow]

We’ve got Reuters an incredibly nosy neighbour, what she doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing.
Torvil and Dean, cycling couple in matching outfits.
Johnny the flares (wore flares!)
Roadside Mike- repairs old bangers on the road

[triceratopsmama]

[quote StuntEgg]@Gemma2019

I called my neighbour Sandra for 14 years, must have said it a hundred times. The week before I moved house I found out her name was actually Jackie.

Ooh, snap! Called her Sandra for years then discovered she was actually Yvette. There must just be a certain "Sandra" type...[/quote]
🤣🤣 this made me laugh. I called my neighbour Nigel last week. His name is Paul🤦🏻‍♀️

[LunaNorth]

The Happy Wanderer - not sure if he’s a neighbour or not but he’s always walking around in a purposeful manner, in full proper walking gear.

Killing It Woman - incredibly stylish lady who we see walking her dachshund. She never looks anything other than amazing - she’s always killing it.

Joseph Fritzl - patriarch of a very odd family who walk everywhere at breakneck speed and never speak or look up. He was one of my DC’s high school teachers and was known for being a tad inappropriate.

That Miserable Cow Opposite - had a go at my son when he went to pick up a parcel from her five years ago. What can I say? I bear grudges.

The Party Animals. They have noisy karaoke parties in their garden.
