We moved into our current house in 2006. So, by now, you would think that we would know most of our neighbors. But we don't.
We like the ones we have met, but we haven't met the vast majority of them. Many of them I have never even seen, and the ones I haven't talked to I obviously wouldn't recognize outside of the context of our street. So (like many people), we have come up with some nicknames for the neighbors we haven't met (since we don't know their real names). For instance there are The Rich People, who live in a house noticeably larger than any of the other houses on our street (actually, the footprint of their garage looks almost as large as our house's), drive a Lexus, and own a huge boat.
Recently, it occurred to me that our neighbors undoubtedly have created nicknames for Heimlich and I. I wonder what they call me?
Anal Lawn Guy?
Anti-social Weirdo?
The Guy Who Hates Dogs?
The Doofy Dresser?
Princess Hairgel?
