Nah, my neighbors use to call the cops on my fam all the time for small **** like my bros friend parked in front of OUR house at 2 am. Suspicous they said. But then again their a bunch of pussies and I ended up beating up their son.
Why?
Its a person who just happens to live close to you
There is no reason to make friends with your neighbours unless youre specifically looking to make friends with your neighbours
I made friends with all my neighbors in my apartment. It's just 8 of us, me and my brother, and then two girls next to us, and 4 guys in two apartments above us. We party every now and then and we get as loud as we want because there's no neighbors to get us in trouble plus, you know, sleeping with the girl next door for the past 5 months has been pretty great too you really never know, it's not a bad idea to be friendly.
Yes but if someone lives close enough to shoot you from their property, it's good to at least know their name(s). And you don't have to tell them much of anything back if you don't really want.
Also, as people have said, it's nice to have someone close by who can come to your aid should you need it.
But its not really anything you need to know
Its just a person that lives close by, its like you would walk out of your way to make friends with the dudes in the house across the street at your job
Its just people who happen to be close
Of course. But as I have said every time, it's good to/you should. The potential benefits outweigh the minor inconvenience of introducing yourself. You don't even have to go out of your way to do it. You can just do it when you both happen to be getting the mail or whenever.
Also, I never said anything about your workplace. That's a bit different (unless you work from home, duh). I meant neighbors of the place you go to sleep at night. Anywhere else would definitely be on more of a necessity basis.
I would say its more of an inconvenience to try to get to know your neighbours, cause those ******* live next door, so that means theres basically no breathing room if they turn out to be annoying
I never said "get to know" (though I probably would on at least an acquaintance level, or friends if they actually seem cool); I said know their names/who they are.
Literally the only way to find out if they are annoying is to meet them, or to find out from another neighbor. If they actually are bothering you, you can typically report them to your landlord or home-owners association.
Another thing worth mentioning is that if you're the only person on your block/in your building who no one has met, you'll be "that sketchy neighbor guy who never talks to anyone." Not a great title to hold amongst the people living adjacent to you.
First off, I have about 0 windows that face other houses next to me, only front and back, which there is no ******* way you can see in that.
Second off, who ******* looks out their windows at other people's windows ever. Like really think about the last time you stood there for a good minute or two and looked out a window JUST to see outside for awhile, let alone at another person's window.
Third, the difference in light from your room, to outside, and back to their room is so massive that your pupils can't focus the three different types like that unless its pitch black, your lights are off, and theirs are on, or some other combo like that. Yes you would still be able to see, but you couldn't focus the light enough for it to be visible unless you actually waited for your eyes to adjust to the outside or their lights.
I want you to try to look in your neighbor's window right now, call the police and tell them what you see when you're done.
