Different kind of Neighbors: Where do your neighbors belong?

Hello beautiful people!

How is it going over there? Hope you are good?

It's afternoon at the time of typing this, I've been so demotivated to engage here and that's because maybe I don't have a topic yet. The tight schedule from weekend really affected me and I've been struggling to bounce back. Thank you all for staying with me...

Thank you sponsors

I'll be writing about the different kinds of neighbors in our environment. Staying in a neighbourhood gives you the chance to meet different types of people and learning to deal with them. Or is there anyone that has not lived with neighbors? I doubt that! In one way or the other, we are lived with neighbors, both far and next door neighbor and I'm too certain that you must have encountered a lot of their categories of them in the list below;

• The over friendly neighbors

• The fighting couples

• The parentless kids

• Constant borrowers

• The mysterious neighbors

• The copy cats

• The alcoholic neighbors

• The party freak

• The problem creators

• The passive neighbors

The over friendly neighbors

These set of people make your business their business whether you like it or not. These are typically the neighbours who will literally stay in your house and wouldn’t even mind helping you out with your daily chores. They don’t know where to draw the line and end up being over friendly. More often than not they cross the line.

These neighbours want to know everything about you, your family, how much money you earn every month, where you make all your investments and your spending patterns....They want to know it all without even once thinking that these are personal and you are not comfortable sharing them. This kind of people gives me headache because they always overstay their welcome. These people most times act like you're sharing your apartment and your belongings with them. Imagine when a friend enters your room in your absence and pick the new shirt you bought but you've not worn,,,, probably waiting for a good occasion to put it on🤷.

The fighting couples

These neighbours fight with their spouse in the open and keep throwing offensive words at each other. They just disturb the peace of the neighbourhood. People that grew up in the rural area should be used to this because it happens there.

I remember a certain time in my village where the leaders imposed a law that any couple found fighting from 6:00pm would provide a big goat 🐐. They introduced that to curb the every night Disturb by couples hahah🤣

The parentless kids

You've seen this set? Their parents are not always around to engage them in things. In the urban areas, you see them Locked up the in house while they play and make noise. In th rural areas, you see them jumping from on compound to another, leading the squad with any any available kid to play. These set of children sometimes ends up in chopping "winch"(witchcraft powers) because they would be exposed to all manners of things and food they shouldn't eat.

The constant borrowers

It’s a pleasant Saturday morning and you hear somebody knocking at your door. Surprise! The same neighbour who keeps asking you for something or the other is here again asking you for a cup of sugar. These are the neighbours who make complete utilization of the word “HELP” and would constantly keep borrowing things from you. If you have these type of neighbours consider adding a separate list in your monthly budget called “Neighbours list”!🤓

I had a neighbour from a well to do family, he has money ooo! He borrowed and seized my bathing bucket to the extent I was beginning in him to use my bucket anytime I want to use it. After using, the girlfriend would come and collect it as it's their property. Lol🤣

The mysterious neighbours

There’s is never any noise coming from his apartment. However, the only dialogue you ever had with this type of neighbour probably consists of “Hello!” and “Nice weather today, huh?” You’ve probably noticed that the really mysterious neighbour comes back home either late at night or early in the morning. And he doesn’t appear to be drunk which makes things even weirder. You have no idea where he goes, what he does and whether you should be worried that he might be a criminal or not. You better stick to just ‘hello’ when talking to this neighbour and never....never ask him anything because you know what happened to the curious cat, right? It became a victim of its really mysterious neighbour.

The copy cats

If you are noticing a pattern of your neighbours having the same things you possess from quite some time now, then you can rule out the option of it being a sheer co-incidence – it’s called copying. These are the type of neighbours who have no clue about what they want to buy and would just end up buying/doing the same set of things that you do, just to fit in. They would scan everything in your home if invited for a chat and there you go a replica of it would be in theirs too.

I think this is where "I pass my neighbor" Generator originated from. From copying to competition 🤓

The alcoholic neighbors

Someone is knocking at your door and picking your lock at 1:00am in the morning? Oh, wait, it’s just your alcoholic neigbhour who is once again at the wrong door. Someone puked on your doorstep? Who was it this time – the alcoholic guy next door.

I've witnessed this too, it was in a family compound. We had a chronic alcoholic that disturbs at night with his friends when the "spirit" has moved above the normal level.

The party freak

These are most likely young people who love to go out for parties and always invite their friends over for a party in their house. The sound of loud music and loud voices is the proof that they are at it again. These people always attract bad guys to the environment.

Problem creators

These neighbours are just too finicky about everything you do from moving a chair at your home to having a social event at your home. Every single thing of your action bothers them and are waiting to gun you down! They are the ones who are unhappy about everything about their neighbourhood and would constantly keep bickering. These kind of people always have traps around waiting for a day you'll fall do they could treat your f*ck up.

The passive neighbors

This one is just there. He doesn’t make noise nor look for trouble. He doesn’t seem to have any problem with anyone and just takes life as it comes. He just a jolly good fellow.

I think I fall in this category so well, no time for "neighbour- neighbour" talks. I just like being on my own to reduce "see finish" and insults🧘.
