Forgot to mention that having decent neighbours and getting with them is really handy. Particularly when you're away and they bring in and out your bins, and take in your parcels.

Yeah, Paul and Ali Hewson, they just up the road from me. The Australian ambassador to Ireland is lives very near me.

I live in an apt, there are five other units on my floor and I know the names of four of them. Everyone except the one furthest from me. But I almost never actually see any of them. When we do see each other we're friendly. Except for that one guy. I say 'hi' to him and he barely mumbles "'sup" with no eye contact.

I have a Bert and Ernie next to me. They're brothers, siamese twins. Sometimes I'll have a LSD session with them and I show them weird shit on YT. They seem to like it.
Edit. I take their trash for them. But it's no biggie since they only eat cereal and prunes.

There was one day I was hanging outside and this dude came up to me. Completely shitfaced and started shit talking me. I didn't wanna be rude so I stayed there for 30 minutes or so. When it came time to leave, he asked for my number so we could hang out.
I really didn't want to, so I gave him a fake number. I've been avoiding him for two years now. Twice I've been stuck on the elevator. I hope he didn't remember me.

Just one next door to the left of me. Got my house in August ‘21. My realtor announces a new neighbor when a closing is made on the street. Sweet little old lady made me peanut butter cookies and came over to introduce herself to me 
. No one else did, but it’s super quiet and everyone waves when I drive by, so I am happy with it!

Some of them. We're friendly with our two direct next-door neighbors, and I at least know the names of the people across the street.
Say what you will about boomers they did it right in this case, everyone used to make an effort to introduce themselves and even become friends with their neighbors. It's important to have a sense of community. I think that's been lost on younger people.

Stop watching serial killer documentaries.
As for the question, yes I know most of our neighbors names.
Funny enough, the guy across the street from us is named “Guy” so it’s beyond easy to remember. But when you’re explaining “The Guy” across the street, it always comes with a explanation.
Most of all our neighbors are good people. Keep to them self, and take care of their houses.

His real name is probbaly something like Xia Xue’xiang or Huai Shui’ze. You can understand why it became standard procedure for Chinese immigrants to arrive in western countries and as soon as they get off the boat they're like, "OK, I have to remember... from now on my name is Dave."

Yeah, know them all. I even chatted to the people at an auction across the street and "helped sell it a little" for the ones we liked the feel of best to move in. Pretty classic. Wife and I did the same thing last house purchase, chatted far too loudly about all the problems in rooms with lots of people inspecting, fingers crossed it helped lower the competing offers. Back on topic - Our kids play with a couple of kids next door and a block over etc (there's probably a 8-9 close families within 4 streets). When your kids go to primary school the further away neighbourhood families are easier to met and form years long bonds with. The shops down the road we run into people we know every trip. Sports, school and community are just too busy in our suburb to not be a part of and of course many live within a stone's throw.
One of our neighbours is a single guy working FIFO, he's cool and works on bike painting and MTX, no issue with some bike firing up late at night. Our son and daughter just learnt to sleep through him in his shop, really not too often or too loud. He's a cool dude. Other direct neighbour are lazy asshats that don't work for decades, somehow have too kids and sponge off their widowed mother for free house and board. We wave and move on there, used to have dinner with them etc but there' useless layabouts.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
I know them. I also greet unknown neighbors in the same apartment or when they aren't even from the same floor. Its called being social and judging by OP he does not.
Mitch, as a fellow northerner, I'll be your neighbour too. I've even took the neighbour's dog and 4 year old for a walk with our dog. We're good people up here

My neighbor to the left of me is pretty hot so I know her name. I have no idea about anyone else.

Sure do, my neighbours are great.
We all look out for each other and are friendly or even friends.
It’s pretty easy to make friends with your neighbours if you are just one and polite right at the start.
