I’ve decided to join in on the fun over at Mom Dot with their meme Small Talk Six. Every Sat­ur­day they and a host of other blog­gers post a blog of six things on a spe­cific topic. This week’s topic was six things you either loved or hated about your neigh­bors. Here’s mine.

I“m not really sure if the fol­low­ing directly counts as my neigh­bors as a few don’t per­tain to the peo­ple who live imme­di­ately around me-but with in my community.

1. The sin­gle dad down the street enjoys wear­ing his PJ pants to the bus stop. This totally grosses me out as num­ber one I think it’s highly inap­pro­pri­ate and two, I can’t help but imag­ine what if he hasn’t any­thing on under­neath those PJ pants! Ewwww. He’s also fond of run­ning shirt­less. I’m not fond of that either.
2. There are lots of dogs in my neigh­bor­hood– some of their own­ers don’t pick up after their dung piles. This is very rude espe­cially when found in my yard, flowerbeds, or by the bus stop where lit­tle feet are bound to hit the jack pot!
3. Some­one recently threw-up in my back­yard.  We didn’t care-but I think an anony­mous note of apol­ogy would have been a nice thing to do.  Makes us think that this nice neigh­bor­hood is becom­ing ghet­tofied– we worry that even if the mar­ket does bounce back-we’ll never be able to sell and get the hell out of dodge if our once nice neigh­bor­hood has become ghetto fab.
4. I like it when the neigh­bors come over to bor­row a cup of sugar.
5. There’s a lit­tle old lady in my neigh­bor­hood who owns a Yorkie– I like to see her out walk­ing her.
6. I like the fact that I only know four of my imme­di­ate neigh­bors. Igno­rance is bliss.
