Personally, I’m masked every time I walk more than half a block from my apartment. My neighbors and I have all implicitly agreed upon a head nod and a muffled “how ya doin.” On the plus side, I was doing that already and my neighbors are more receptive to it now! On the minus side, I live a block from the only grocery store in the neighborhood and never miss a chance to tell strangers they should wear a mask, which led to an old white dude telling me I was “supporting Nazi Germany.” Could be worse, could be better? How are your neighborhoods, goons? FWIW, I’m in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago, please give a region/neighborhood as specifically as you feel comfortable with. E: was he right? Am I a nazi now???? Bibliotechno Music fucked around with this message at 07:58 on May 21, 2020 |

If we are walking towards each other so much as a block away, we get far the gently caress away and if were still within eyeshot when we pass after doing so give a nod as if to say "all in respect to your fear as to mine" In central New Jersey

Nope, in general no one really says anything to anyone around here. We might nod at each other or something as we walk by but that’s your lot. No one is giving anyone a hard time if they’re not wearing a mask because it’s ultimately no one else’s business and you’re not going to get them to change. That and masks aren’t exactly easy to come by around here to start with so you may not be telling them something they don’t already know. As long as you’re staying 2 metres away I don’t care

Generally just shout-talking off our decks or front yards well within our own borders. Had a fun inter-action with a gentleman of black persuasion when I went to check my mail, we got those weird communal townhouse mailboxes. So while I waited for him he ribbed me about avoiding the corona, and I was like dude I got my old mom stuck with me and we're being extra careful, and he does this suave look back like 'hey brotha we gotta be careful anyway' and I was like, yes, I'm cool now.

I have a Tim Allen/Wilson arrangement with my neighbor. We exchange garden/weed growing tips across the fence while his dog yells at me. The latest exchange involved me giving him some horseradish roots and seed potatoes and I got a few nugs of his last crop. Good guy, +1 would be neighbors again

We have a facebook group for the building so we can warn each other when the elevator is down and bitch about management. Other than that I recognize most neighbors by their dogs.

Neighbors have been my family's neighbors literally for 4 or more decades. The current son who bought the house after his mother passed (rip) has been there for years. Great guy. Great family. Helps out alot when he sees my grandpa. I talk to him Home Improvement style in the backyard. Gives us bags of fresh lemons from his tree. 10/10 best neighbors around.

I never talk to my neighbors because I live in an apartment complex and everyone mostly ignores each other. Lots of cute dogs when I go on walks though!

I had a man walk by when I was cutting down a very large wild grape vine from a tree across the road from me and say "Wild grapes eh, those are in our back yard, too." As he walked by on the country road. I turned from him, clenching my eyes shut and balling my fists. He was so stupid. I hated him. I wanted him to leave. I heard his feet stop on the loose gravel on the road as he paused and I knew he wanted an answer but I could only tersely jank my head in a nod. I felt bad, I wanted to say more because it'd been a long time since I talked to some one due to the pandemic, but he was just so STUPID and I was so mad. He started to say "Alright" and turn to go, I guess, but it wasn't enough for me. Video games ARE art. He HAD to know.

Southwestern PA. My wife and I walk through the neighborhood a few times a week and say hi to most people while keeping our distance. If we come across anybody walking or biking we give a wide berth. My neighbor across the street sits on her porch and a handful of times has had a pistol in her hand because she's appointed herself neighborhood watch (we don't have a crime problem and the last break-in was 2 years ago, a dude broke into his mother's house for money). Also we don't have a neighborhood watch and the cops have visited her several times for waving her gun around in public.

I live in loving Montana, everyones personal space bubble is 6 feet at the best of times. The only difference is now when people cross the street to avoid me I don't take it personally. We all still nod and say hello. Not much has changed beside the masks.

My super texted me the other day up tell me one of my neighbors was complaining my music was too loud. Admittedly they were probably loud but it was a Wednesday at 12:30 in the afternoon.

Is there a Montanian horde of infected massing on the border in preparation to steal our Healthcare? Be honest. On the assumption there's enough of you to classify as a horde. Maybe unruly group is more accurate.

I live on an island off Massachusetts. There's about 15K of us here. We're *all* neighbors, and even more so since I work at the local island hospital, which has only 16 beds or so. Efforts to keep people away from here (we are a summer resort) have worked so far in the off season. Everyone is wondering what will happen when the NY & Connecticut privileged want to come here this summer. Guess we'll find out. Since the middle of March, we've had 14 cases and one death - not bad given our proximity to the northeast states. Wearing masks in the local supermarkets is just about 100% at this point. The beaches have never been closed - people here naturally want to avoid each other.
