And they use... reddit... eew
The street address?
Most people around me are significantly less me than me.
I'd be you sometimes if I wasn't so busy being me. Sometimes it might be cool to be you and not me. Even something as benign as the way your mouth feels when closed,
do your teeth line up better than mine? Or have you developed a weird way for your jaw to rest due to clipping teeth if you're not careful.
Anyways I think it's my turn to report in on the huddle so bye
I live in my house, they don't.
I'm normal /s
It is so brave of you to share your struggle with that horrible affliction with us here.
I'm weird. No sacaram intended.
I'm a foreigner. Most aren't. I work from home. Most don't. I drink kava everyday. I doubt anybody else does.
I live in my house, they live in theirs.
Maybe you should try living in theirs
They're conservative Christians and I'm a socialist atheist π€·ββοΈ
Don't really know, I've never talked to any of them.
Compared to them, I'm broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it's getting leased to us at cost.
We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren't stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?
They're middle-aged, while I'm... blessed with experience.
I'm... blessed with experience.
... Approaching 60 BTW
I don't own a car
nothing. I am a very ordinary earthling in a very ordinary and nondescript living area. Everything is very very typical and does not stand out at all.
And I walk with my human legs. Nothing to see here.
Iβm the only one with a key to this door
Theyβre all cunts. Iβm not quite so bad.
Funny they said the same thing!
Nobody is ever outside, unless they are mowing their lawn. Even when its nice out
I ride a bike as my primary form of transit.
I'm the only one not buying or selling drugs
Have you considered trying to be a market disruptor by leasing drugs?
In contrast, I'm doing the most drugs.
My NZ accent
My neighbors come in two main flavors: they're all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I'm just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!
Language skills. I suck at the local language. The rest of them are native speakers.
I think we're the only middle aged couple with no kids on this street and adjacent ones. Every couple I've seen even remotely near our age when we walk our dog either has children or a pram.
Did try to make friends with some new neighbours a while back that were roughly our age. Very friendly first chat, they were both enthusiastic about greeting us - they approached us first.
The first thing they asked was whether we had children, when we said no they were visibly disappointed and seemed to lack interest in furthering the conversation.
They do things the way they want while I'm doing them the way I want. Which is clearly the superior way (though they disagree).
No kids and I drive a shit car.
Age. I live in a beach community and most my neighbors are all retirees.
I am not on Nextdoor, despite the invites.
What a strange question to ask
Can I ask what brought this about?
