Over the years, I’ve lived in houses, apartments, and everything in between — and one thing never changes: there’s always that neighbour. You know the one. The midnight DIY-er, the backyard concert host, or the kid who thinks your garden is a public playground.
Now that I’m settled in a quiet suburban area (or so I thought), I’ve decided to document the wonderfully weird world of neighbours. Because let’s be honest — if you can’t name the oddball on your street, there’s a chance it might be you. 😄
In this series, I’ll be sharing some of my favourite (and most baffling) neighbour stories:
- 🎸 The guy who blasts Slipknot at bedtime
- 🌱 The early riser who mows the lawn at 5am
- 🧒 The kids who treat our garden like a public park
- 🏘️ The apartment neighbour whose cough you could hear through the wall
Each post will dive into a different type of neighbour — from The Loud Ones to The Mystery Neighbours, The Garden Invaders to The Apartment Echo Chamber. Whether you live in a high-rise or a cul-de-sac, I bet you’ve met at least one of these characters.
So grab a cuppa, settle in, and get ready for some laughs, eye-rolls, and maybe a few “same here!” moments. And if you’ve got a neighbour story of your own, I’d love to hear it — drop it in the comments or tag me on social!
