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 know most of our immediate neighbours, but we do have "inconsiderate twats in the party house" and "shouty skipping man" who are at the end of the row.
The former seemed to be a household of younger people who totally ignored the first 2 lockdowns and have loud parties in their garden (with appropriately horrible music) every couple of weekends. All the houses have bedrooms and gardens at the back and lots of the neighbours have young children so they aren't popular.
Shouty skipping man can be seen rising above his fence as he bounces on his trampoline or skips as a workout. Now the gyms are open, we haven't heard the daily whooshing of his skipping rope.

[wandawaves]

Nope, no nicknames needed here... our 2 neighbours are SO BLOODY LOUD that I know all their names and everything about their lives!

[Crayfishforyou]

We have Nosy Toker. He sticks his head out of his attic window to smoke pot, he can and does see directly into our sitting room.

[mrsbeeton999]

I hadn’t thought that our neighbours probably have nicknames for us 😂 We’ve got loads
Friend with benefits (man only there 2 nights a week)
Bobadobadingdong (no idea where that came from)
Car shagger (cuddles and tickles his car while whispering sweet nothings to it - honestly)
Potty mouth (was swearing at her builders once)

[mrsbeeton999]

Oh and we’ve also got Stridey (walks strangely) The 80s throwback and mad granny

[TheUnquestionedAnswer]

Haha this has cheered me up, and I was quite impressed that I was able to google MAMIL.
I have:
The posh ones
The bin police (actually there are two of these at different ends of the terrace)
The miserable bitch (I cheerfully say good morning or whatever to her and she looks through me)
The French one - she is crackers and is very vocal

[LumpSatAlone]

The mouth - argues loudly with her boyfriend most weekends.

Disco Derek- loves his to wear his short shorts and listening to disco music.

The fridge - shes solid the same shape as a big American refrigerator.

Bin Hitler - likes to have control over the communal bin sheds.

[tywysoges]

We call the couple opposite us “the boys”, because they’re young(er than us), but nobody else...

[Dunairbeanat]

I love this thread, I know my immediate neighbours but the others have nicknames.

Mr Nosey, his head swivels so far it must cause pain.
Chase me, chase me. She always stops and looks back but there is nobody behind her.
Indiana due to his hat.
Ratman because he has the smallest dog I have ever seen on a lead.

[newnortherner111]

I don't, if I don't know their names I just say they are 'the couple at..' etc.

[SpicyTinkle]

We have:

The shouty woman - always in her kitchen, shouting at her husband, with the windows open.

Mad-Eye - has an eye like Mad-Eye Moody in Harry Potter.

The dog people - loads of dogs.

Slip road - she gave birth on a slip road.

Sad Miranda - miserable cow who looks like Miranda off the telly.

[Dnadoon]

We have a Miss Rabbit next door because she works in the village pub, and the posh hotel and some where else.

[FrankButchersDickieBow]

Haha. Just catching up with the thread. These are ace 🤣

[Arbadacarba]

Anyone else anxiously scanning this thread for a nickname that might apply to them?

[NeedCoffeeToSurvive]

We have,

The dog family, purely because they have a really cute dog.

Steptoe house 1 & 2, one next door and one opposite

[Nonmaquillee]

The Royle Family - Jim has a beard, glasses, looks miserable, wears a 70s style cardigan and black slip-ons. Barbara has the same rigid perm she's had since c 1983. They have tacky beige plastic garden furniture which makes me want to heave.

Sourface - never ever smiles; I take pleasure in being cheery when I walk past. Has held a grudge against me since I asked her if it was her recycling bag that was strewn across the road after the foxes attacked it.

Prue and Paul - funky colourful clothes and stylish grey hair. He's not quite Paul but hey ho...

The dwarf - speaks for itself. Constantly tinkering with his Audi - God knows what he finds to do with it.

Gay Corgi - just moved in across the street. His legs are almost as short as his Corgi's.

My Little Pony - always swishing her shiny long mane.

The Addams Family - very, very ugly. Tall skinny dad and enormous short mum with purple hair.

Bodenista - a new dress every day. Has a perfect front garden with matching F&B gate and door. Immaculate tulips.

Hernia - once bored me rigid about the hernia that was causing her lower belly to be misshapen.

Shed fire family - speaks for itself.

Creepy Martin - always outside his house making sure his bin is parallel with the wall. Sits all day pretending to watch TV but he's actually checking that nobody parks too close to his shiny BMW. Once caught him staring at my DD when she was a young teen. Makes my skin crawl.

[LemonRoses]

No, we just use their names. Know everyone ( literally) within about six miles.

[Longingforatikihut]

Ooooh good thread.

We have:

Princess psychob*tch to the left. Basically I am unreasonable if I so much as breathe in my own home.

The baron to the right. Local Gun toting drug dealer regularly raided by police.

Mrs stabby across the road: (her DP stabbed her just before Xmas)

The shouty bunch next to her. Often have late night parties followed by late night arguments in a foreign language.

Roll on moving day!!!

[CheezerGoode]

Yes! We have "The Little Sh1t" who lives upstairs. Noisy as all hell; likes to repeatedly jump off the sofa and screams whenever he leaves or comes home.

[MilduraS]

I haven't given the neighbours nicknames but I've named all of the neighbourhood cats.

[LakieLady]

My NDN is known as Big Pants, as his unfeasibly large underpants (he's a tiny, scrawny little man) appeared on the washing line and they were MASSIVE. I think he may have overheard though, as I never see his pants hung outside these days.

Another family is known as the Mountains, because they left all the spoil from digging out the footings for their extension in the back garden for years, and my mate's daughter reckoned it was the size of a mountain.

Mostly they're known by their cars though, Mr Mondeo, Berlingo Man, Mrs Fabia etc, although the bloke who lived over the road was known as The Pisshead, because he actually was a pisshead.



Most of the neighbours are known by their cars

[Disfordarkchocolate]

Only the annoying ones have nicknames. Cat lady - needs no explanation. Next door have multiple ones - noisy inconsiderate bastards, druggy son, normal one (surely can't be related), poor baby (always crying, especially when it's Dad's there).

[CaptainMyCaptain]

The Fireman (he is a fireman)
The burglar (he wasn't a burglar but our old NDNs called him The Terrorist both names based on the fact he used to sit in his van using his laptop. He has now moved away)
Two children, we know their real names but call them Ronnie and Reggie, I'll leave you to work out why.

[SweatyBetty20]

I'm in a little hamlet so you do get to see everyone's little foibles. I have:

Neighbourhood Watch - gets her beak into everything and told me off for hanging my undies on the line because her "husband gets upset". Also hates it when I don't trim my privet often enough.

The Hippy (or House Husband) - ponytail, doesn't work, gossips a lot with neighbourhood watch and tries to sneakily trim my privet.

The Horse Couple - equine obsessed.

The Swingers - no evidence of this but they have a multicoloured light that they sometimes put on in the bedroom which I refer to as the "sex light".

The Bin Thief - doesn't take his out; just puts all his shite into everyone else's.

Up the road there's also the Modern Slavery Farm. Again, no evidence to suggest this is happening, but it just looks like it - posh cars, nobody going in or out, locked pair of static caravans on their property.

[Maray1967]

We only have Victor, as in Victor Meldrew, and Obsessive Lawnmower Man (we all have small gardens, 15 minutes to do a really good job, but he could mow for an hour well into the evening, past young children’s bedtimes).
Everyone else we like and know their actual names.
