My block isn't really ACTIVE most of the time, but we've had all kinds of stuff going on.
A murder suspect lived two houses down from me, several car accidents, a neighbor hitting is asshole son with a hammer, cops chasing drug dealers, random gunshots, a ton of police and ambulance sirens, store's been robbed, and so on.
Soooo we are kind of nosy.
However, my mom used to sit by the blinds and just look out.
I only do it if I hear or see something.
And I literally hide in the shadows and watch people outside.
When there's trouble, most of the neighbors go outside and watch.
I prefer to stay in the shadows and watch.
I've got plenty of windows, I can see everything xD
I feel childish, but when people knock on the door, I run and hide and wait until they leave.
I'm legit afraid of opening the door for people. Unless I know them well.
We're pretty close with our neighbors.
They've lived here since before I was a baby, so we've grown old together xD
We typically watch out for each other.
Which feels safe.
Despite the bullshit that goes on xD
We also help each other out with random stuff.
My dogs actually got loose and they started chasing this guy that always rides his bike past our houses.
He saw us chasing the dogs, so he circled back to us so we could get them.
People around here are usually nice.
Everyone says hi and asks how you are. Even if you're just passing by.
I remember when I was walking and carrying a soda can and talking to my dogs.
As I've mentioned, I don't walk straight. I kind of sways and wobble.
So he was like "8u...you okay, ma'am?"
I don't know if he thought I was drunk, crazy or was just polite xD
Are you nosy?
Are you a peeker or a seeker?
