Likewise. However when the bloke next doors daughter got pregnant at 17 and had twins & moved away and then his wife had a kid which he thought was his but was born mixed race (black& white) then he kinda found out otherwise, so he moved this fat obnoxious woman in who then moved her son in (who beat her up and pushed her downstairs, whenever the police came I'd be sat in my front bedroom and my neighbour across the road would be in hers & we'd be waving & trying to have a conversation about what was happening from behind the curtains)

Anyway one night my brother has a party because he was leaving for a years uni in canada, at about 11:30pm this kid stands on the fence swinging a crobar at my brothers mates because he didn't like the music (he wanted to be 50cent) so my brothers mate pushed him off the fence & into their pond (all by accident, the landing) and this woman the next day when we got back launces into a tirade at my mum who bit the bait & i heard the word 'whore' about 10 times and stuff was thrown over at each other, quite funny really. Whenever I had the ukta parties I was begging him to come around and start something when i had guys like fundy (6'5) gibbo (same) ste, jay, and even coup who could probably have held his own, but they never. weird cos we blasted trance, breaks & psy until 6am both occasions

i do say hi to the neighbors around like kissing on the cheeks if i see them

most of the people living in our street are seniors besides a new young couple with babies

so when they see me , they usually ask me how is school , what i wanna do later

i know they organize drink dinner sometimes , at least it's a good atmosphere

i could care less about neighbors but as long as u all maintien a good atmosphere, that's what matters

Originally posted by Ian lol, it was a guy! he just pushed her for no reason, but then her mate (a mad glasgow girl) lamped the guy & he wanted to press charges on her, found it rather funny.

Brilliant

It's always nice to have friends north of the border, male or female.

Originally posted by Lilith No, someone might mistake me for a tasteless american. It was the first house I ever bought and the market is too depressed to sell at a decent profit. If the people I'm renting an apartment too closer to the university move out I'll put mine up for rent and move in there. Attitude?

not to go dr phil on you, but you seem to bottle up you anger and lash out. you don't live in a vacuum, the neighbors must have viewed your behavior as a possible threat to their kids. parents can be overly protective/paranoid about drugs and are generally out of touch with reality. if you made the effort to get to know them and be part of the community this might not have happened. its never too late to make nice if your willing to be the bigger person and curb things that annoy them. you might be surprise that with a little effort you could change the whole dynamic your in.

Which is a relief... because I'll take it for what it's worth, amateur pop psychology.

I'm really not that terrible a person, but I don't take crap, I certainly don't need to sell drugs to make a living and I'm hardly this huge monstrosity of social disorder either in appearance or behaviour.
There's two reasons I've found out why they don't like me, both are extremely hurtful and discriminatory and exactly the reasons why I don't want anything to do with these people. I was happy to ignore them for a few years in the hope they'd oblige me my privacy in return.
They didn't.

its kinda funny that they mistook you for a drug dealer. my 2 roomies and i used to live in these apartments. it was full of illegals that thought we were drug dealers so they didnt ever complain or cause trouble. it was great. we could be loud and never have to worry. although those apartments were total shite.

True. Hey, I got their mail today! Baby steps, baby steps!

Also true.

i live in a huge apartment complex in the suburbs with lots of Eastern Indian people (language barrier for sure, and they mostly seem to be pretty shy), lots of lower/middle-class families, and lots of younger couples... but most people pretty much just keep to themselves.

i'll always say "hi, how's it going?" if i see people around my building, but that's the extent of the conversation usually and i don't know any of my neighbors well enough to knock on their doors for a cup of sugar or anything like that.

i live alone but i don't spend a ton of time at home, so it doesn't really bother me that i live in my own little world.


my old apartment though... man that place had such a cool atmosphere. it was downtown and it was all studios so it was mostly students and single people. the girl across the hall from me was a very friendly Polish girl who i used to tease when she made out with American boys in front of our building. down the hall there was a younger guy who was a full-time cook. next to me was another girl who was a student and a bartender. below me was the apartment manager who was an old guy who liked to play darts.

and the most memorable one - the drunk on the first floor who used to bitch about how he was "thisclose" to signing a new band. according to him he was a manager, but all i ever saw him do was drink whiskey and stumble down the street.

i can't wait to live downtown again. i miss being in a busy/friendly atmosphere.

i thought canadians were nice ?

they look it..

They are in my neighbourhood. The difference is Jenny lives in a commuter community.... most the people there are Torontonians that have moved to the 'burbs and work in toronto. Generally, they just want a place to sleep and a low mortgage payment, they don't want to be bothered getting to know each other.

maybe it's not lilith that has the problem but the joneses.. we just bought a house in a small town 20km west of the city and we made a point of moving next door to an empty lot, and a couple of bikers with harleys in the front.. we figured we'd get on better with them, it's the straight edge people that have been the most dysfucntional in my experience..

well i'm not there so i can't say anything definitively. all i was saying is when you look different, have different practices, and you keep to yourself, not associating with others, that generally creates fear and resentment.

i also think she doing the same thing by assuming the worst about them. she also has this ethnic chip on her shoulder. hey you don't have to be friends but it sure helps if your at least cordial. being neighbors is a lot like being married, communication goes a long way. btw, living in neighborhood is different than an apt complex. its almost expected in a complex everyone keeps to themselves.

Originally posted by Lilith Mine are a mix of faceless, upper middle class, cashed up white trash arseholes mostly. All the same cars, fashion, cosmetic surgeon, bleached tips in the 30-45year DINK or 2.5kids bracket, they're the Joneses and they're fiercely competitive about maintaining their little status. They do enjoy talking about me apparently, for awhile when I had dreads they thought "hmm, mixed blood, foreigner, drives nice car, runs around at all hours, looks like she has a lot of money... oh must be a drug dealer." That would have been funny and a brush off any other day, except some dim bulb decided to call into some 1800DOBINADEALER number and the rozzers came around and pulled my house to pieces at 6am one Sunday morning which I didn't think was particularly funny at all. Least they didn't find my guns I suppose, all very apologetic about it and they had nothing really to pin on me and had been under surveillance for a few weeks, all for nothing. (Not the first time, good going former associates from my teens... such is life) It basically did it for me, this means war. I call the water authority on fairly much all of them for wasting water, (they get fined out the ass for wasting it) I point out property defects to the council for renovations that probably don't have approval. I crank out really loud music at all hours when it's quasi-legal to do so and have a loan of a very, very noisy turbocharged car which sounds like an earthquake on idle and rattles windows about a kilometre away when I give it some stick. They hate me I hate them I didn't start this, but I'll sure as hell get my pound of flesh by the time it's over... oh yes.

hahah kinda sounds like my court

Hahaha, so true! Well the newbies anyways. The "old Barrie" peeps are super!

Well all the 3 or so Canadians that I've met seem to be nice enough. My boss is Canadian. I'd give her a 9

dumb luck?

Mine is about 90% Romanian families here and even though most of them speak 1 or 2 words in English they still stop you and try and have a convo. I think it's awesome. I have maybe 2-or 3 houses around here that we're close with and are always over at each others houses, great people. One of our neighbors, Mark, his wife and 2 kids, we happen to be close with and we just walk into each others houses now. Like if the main door is open and it's just the screen door that's shut, we just walk in.

It seems as though we're divided between friendly and non friendly people. The houses that are on the other side of the building in the middle are mean and ignorant. If you just happen to look at them they say, " what are you looking at? Problem?". Stupid.
