We have never spent so much time in our homes as we have since the start of the pandemic. And it’s likely not going anywhere. With more and more workplaces shifting to hybrid, or to entire work from home models, homes are likely to remain our safe office spaces that have obvious perks. In fact, this 2019 survey found that a hybrid working environment would make employees happier (83%), feel more trusted (82%), improve their work/life balance (81%), and make them more likely to recommend their company to a friend (81%). Are we then now living our best lives, well, at least in that sense?
Not so fast. Staying at home means that you not only gotta spend more time with your family members, whether you like it or not, but that you’re not alone doing so. Your neighbors are also here too. That means a lot of noise, from construction sounds to loud quarrels or dance music smashing through the speakers. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Some people are (un)lucky enough to have real weird neighbors to deal with. And when I say weird, I mean it. Thanks to a subreddit called “NextDoor,” we can now get a glimpse into what it's like to live next door to someone that makes you wonder 'what on earth is wrong with some people?'

My dog stole a 5 pound roast from a freezer next door. She had placed it on top, but didn't shut the door to the shed all the way. We all laughed, bought them dinner that night and replaced the roast.

However, fewer Americans are taking time to engage with their neighbors. This recent survey from Zebra backs up the statement. It found that a majority of Americans aren’t friends with their neighbors in real life. In fact, only 33% of Americans consider their neighbors friends or close friends, whereas 66% consider their neighbors strangers or acquaintances. Americans in the Midwest region are most likely to be friends with their neighbors.

My Neighbors Are Loosing It...
Meanwhile, some experts argue that online neighborhood groups are replacing face-to-face communication. For example, Neighborhood-based site Nextdoor has 236,000 active neighborhoods throughout the world. It reaches 90% of U.S. neighborhoods, and is worth an estimated $2.1 billion. Zebra’s survey also showed that almost a third, 27% of Americans are in online neighborhood groups. Moreover, women are 10% more active in these online communities.
Another study was run by NextDoor in conjunction with Brigham Young University in the United States, University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, and Swinburne University of Technology In Australia, and conducted by a team of leading loneliness experts. They found that knowing as few as 6 neighbors reduces the likelihood of feeling lonely and is linked to lower depression, social anxiety, and financial concerns related to COVID-19.

Well, I have seen some houses that really need some cleaning up, tbh. Some have honestly been hazards to public health, with garbage piled up in the yard. Imagine the rodents and cockroaches. So yeah, I can see this request being valid in those cases. But, knowing HOA b******t like I do, the house might just have something innocuous in the yard. Like children’s toys and /or bikes, or maybe a chair or something, and the HOA Nazi neighbors are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Oh No, Not A Jewel!
Kathryn Baylis 3 years ago
Occam’s Razor: The simplest explanation is usually the best. It’s probably just a USB stick. BTW, it’s spelled Juul, not Jewel, and if you didn’t find the actual vape or any of the accessories (charger, oil, etc), you can be confident she’s not vaping. Lastly, STAY TF OUT of your daughter’s room!!! If she’s a college freshman, she’s 18, and an adult. She deserves her privacy. If you have NO reason to suspect she’s gotten into anything harmful, then leave her alone, or she will move out and you won’t see her again. I say this from personal experience.

Neighbor Sees The Light And Realizes ‘Illegals’ Can’t Actually Vote In Elections
Brandy Grote 3 years ago (edited)
Well, Joe, people sign up to vote at least several weeks before the election. These "applications" are vetted, i.e. "checked out" by the State Election Board to verify that they can legally vote. Then, the 1st time they go to the polls, they do verify the id (if there is time, but if the polls are very busy, that step could be skipped). After that, verified voters get a book telling them who the candidates are and where they can vote. One signature, one vote, nearly no fraud in the entire state. Trust the poll workers.

ZAPanda 3 years ago
in our country we just use whatsapp groups like this. I left mine after about a year, it was unbearable. Basically if a person is white and over 50 they spend ALL their time complaining about the existence and life-capable status of persons other than themselves. "Do you think no 6 should really be allowed to hang her washing up? I can see it over her 6ft wall when I am in my upper floor bedroom. It looks tacky and brings the neighbourhood property prices down" etc etc etc.

I live in a blue collar neighborhood that the algorithm decided was the same “neighborhood” as the white collar one about 5 mins away. (Other side of an Arboretum) Those folks have too much time and money on their hands, which apparently frees up a lot of time for complaining. Deleted it after a week 😅
jk nbt 3 years ago (edited)
my neighbor thought that he had the constitutional right to leave his yappy dog out all night. He was sure the beast would scare off any burglars. Repeated complaints did not fix this. I had to call out the law about 6 different times to get them to put up the dog, and he still left the dog out after each time. It was a terrier. Not much of a threat. Any burglar could take it out with one kick. Finally, I got the county sheriff to send out two deputies to have a long firm talk with him at midnight one night after a particularly bad yap-fest. The senior officer one was pretty tough and had no patience with this, especially since this was the 7th time no less to get the law to come around. They threatened him with a $200 fine per incident for disturbing the peace after this. The jerk finally relented & started keeping the bark-crazy dog inside. This and many other incidents just as unreasonable earned Jason the prize as being the worst neighbor ever. He eventually moved, Thank God.
