Are you "nosy"?

I AM hoping everything is OK. If my daughter was not friends with their son,I probably wouldn`t think too much of it,other than feeling sorry that something must have happened. Of course,like I told my daughter,maybe they took off and moved to Mexico and left the house to the kids! Wes said their car passed him today too and the driver waved-but he said it wasn`t the man that lives there.

You could always bake some cookies and bring them over with the excuse, "We've lived here since August. I've been meaning to come by to introduce myself but time keeps slipping away. As it happens our kids are acquainted with each other. Small world!"

There's nothing nosy or improper about having a neighborly relationship.

I had the same response before I saw this!! I guess someone can say we are curiously nosey:ROFLMAO:
 
I'm not nosy, but at the same time, I won't allow something bad to happen to people I care about.
In my 20's, I was in a band. We often were up late into the morning hours writing music, listening, recording, etc. The drummer & I were sitting in my driveway in his car, listening to something he recorded. It was around 3:00am. To make money in between gigs, I was a process server & was still wearing my gun.
A car pulled up across the street & we watched 3 young guys walk up to my next-door neighbor's house where an elderly couple lived. I had met & chatted with them on several occasions & they were nice people, so, of course I was concerned. They tried the front door, then started peering into the window. That was when I jumped out of the car & yelled at them to scare them away. Two of them ran back to their car & the third turned around & I could see a screwdriver in his hand; I imagine to pry open a door or window. (street light right above the driveway). When I pointed my gun at him, he ran back to the car & they sped away.

By then, the lights went on in the house & I knocked on their door & told them what happened. They heard the noise & after they learned what happened, they were too scared to go back to sleep. I waited for the police with them.
 
I do try to be aware. Many years ago,I was "watching" my daughter`s daycare for her while she went to her OB appointment. I was watching out the front window for a parent that was due to pick up his child. I saw the man across the street walk out of his house,I think to go out to his sidewalk to pick up his mail,and he didn`t look well. He ended up not going to get his mail,just sat down on the bench he had on the front porch. Then he went back in his house. Ordinarily,I would have gone over immediately and knocked on the door to make sure he was OK,BUT,we had a history with this man. The prior Thanksgiving,we fixed him a large plate of food and my son in law took it to him. He basically slammed the door in his face and said "I don`t want it." So we were all a little skittish about him. My daughter watched for the next two days but no sign of him. She finally went and checked his mailbox and his mail had not been taken out. So she went to the man next door,who we all knew well and knew the man well too,and he looked in the front window and found him dead on the floor. I think that he probably died that same day I saw him,as soon as he went back inside. I would never let time pass like that again-if I saw something like that again,I would definitely call someone.
 
Well,we now know what was going on with our neighbors and I feel like sh*t. When hubby got home from work on Friday,he was opening the gate at the end of our driveway and saw the neighbor struggling to open the gate at the end of his driveway so his wife could back their car out. He had a cane,so hubby ran over to open the gate for him.He told hubby that he had a stroke.So probably,when I saw their car leaving at 430 every day and getting home at 9:30,his wife was likely going to visit him in the hospital or rehab. I learned to never ASSume anything😠Glad hubby met him though,and knows what happened. Now we can offer help when we see it is needed. Turns out they do have 4 grown children too,so that who have been there helping out. Hubby says that the man looks like he`s doing very well though,but he says that the wife looks very,very fragile.
 
Nosey, naw, but very interested in how many vehicles come
and go at neighbor's homes.

Why?

1. Lived in bedroom community, one Saturday eight cops cars descended on next door neighbors house, cuffed all residents, laid them in front yard (several young people in their twenties).

Cops had drug sniffing dogs...these kids were pushing meth,
lots of meth-everybody went to jail

2. Same house two-three years later, late at night, neighbor kids, ages 6 and 9 were frantically breathing on door, told mother-in-law:
"Daddy's killing Mommy."
and he was,
He was trying to drown her in bathtub for sleeping with
'a friend.'
I ,of course, was sleeping, it was a work night.
Mother-in-law called cops

Cops came, called ambulance for 'mommy,' They spent almost an hour in home. (me- out of bed by this time)
I was outside when cops finally drug husband out of house.

He had been beaten to pulp-'resisting.'

next incident is the best #3, put post is already too long.
 
continued from post 39

Went to visit mother in the rural, she was not home.
I waited, sitting on doorsteps.

Neighbor, who lived on a 10 acre plot, in a house trailer parked at the extreme end of acreage, came to his front gate with three pit bulls on heavy chains.

He exited to gravel road, he and dogs came to my mother's fence:
'Why you always watching what goes on at my house.'
"Huh?"
'You keep it up there'll be trouble.'
"I don't know who you are."
'Keep it up.' The pit bulls are growing, pulling on chains.
I didn't say anything, started walking to pickup where my rifle
was.
He, apparently not stupid enough to get shot, drug his
dogs back to his gate and then to his trailer.

When my mother and her second husband, arrived the husband said:
'Yea, I kind'a keep an eye on that guy, something going on
over there.'
Six of seven months later, Pit Bull Man, was cooking
meth while his wife and three daughters were in the trailer. He blew the back half of his trailer to smithereens.

(Pit Bull Man had assumed I lived at home.
and was the male observing the events at his home.)


Pit Bull man thirty days, the leniency is another story.

Yes, very nosey regarding number of vehicles that arrive
at neighbors.

I'm not nosy, I happen to be playfully curious.:)

Being nosy is part of our DNA. Of course, we're nosy. If someone is moving in, you don't think we are going to miss the opportunity to watch their stuff going in. Some earn a good living giving tours of famous people's homes-why? Cause we're nosy.
 
No, not nosy and not gossipy. I have lady friends my age asking me out to lunch. All gossip and complaining. They know every little thing that's going on and I could care less. So what? So so and so's husband is sleeping with "you know who". Who cares? Good for them! haha! ( I laughed so you don't attack me) and I really don't want to hear about your last operation and all your aches and pains, why they hate everybody, while I'm eating. ( They go on and on about how they hate Malania Trump. (Why would they hate her? She has class, elegance, graciousness) Guess I'm not a very good friend! I have so much more important things in my life than lowering to unimportant trivia. Wish i had intelligent, future seeing friends.
