I recently found this funny video about upstairs neighbours. It can be quite true, don’t you think? Do you have upstairs neighbours? Are you an upstairs neighbour?
Statistics show that the majority of Americans (57%) say they know only some of their neighbours; while 26% say they know most of them. People who are 65 or older are more likely than those ages 18 to 29 to say they know most of their neighbours (34% vs. 20%).
Also, rural residents (40%) are more likely than people in suburban (28%) and urban (24%) areas to know most of their neighbours, but they have in-person conversations with their neighbours about as often as those in other community types. What about in your country?

Oh, so funny video!!! Some moments of it are true about my upstairs neighbours – they repair something or when their child comes home from school and starts hitting the ball on the floor.
Mine are the same, haha. I wonder whether the people downstairs feel the same way about us. 😀
Oh yeah!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 But we try not to bother with strong noise, especially on evenings.
That’s good to hear! 🙂
Love the picture of the frogs in this house
It’s from Pixabay.com, you can use it if you need it. 🙂
I don’t like the idea of people living upstairs as I have been in that situation before, if they are good and don’t fight I don’t mind.
I didn’t mind when someone flooded the bath and the water came down to my flat, but I hate violence.
Fortunately we have no one upstairs or downstairs we are on a level unit
You are right, if your neighbours are violent, even if they are only violent towards each other, it’s a very stressful and complicated situation.
Up until now, my nation or people are called friendly nations and people, besides, we also have a mutual cooperation culture, which in regions and villages, the culture is still very strong but in big cities, especially Jakarta, that spirit is running low. The culture illustrates how we actually know neighbours closely…
Unfortunately, I don’t live in an apartment, so I can’t answer those questions.
It’s nice that in many areas people are still friendly and help each other.
It was very fun, because harmony also provided many benefits
I know most of my neighbors even though we are not all friends.
It’s good to at least know them 🙂
If they are good people I don’t mind their company at all
Hopefully yours are good!
My brother lives upstairs and yes I know him very well.
It’s always better to have someone you are close with to live upstairs.
We always make it a point to know all our neighbors. You never know when someone will need, or will be able to offer help. 🙂
That’s so true! Unfortunately, nowadays people only care about themselves.
yes there are many of that type of people here on Virily. I still try to get to know them!
I have lived in an apartment for 16 years we had the most wonderful time there as my neighbors were the very best. Here in the Villa people are so snobbish and wont talk to each other. I still try to make friends.
It’s a pity that your neighbours are not that friendly anymore.
I live in the countryside in a house, dear Ellie …. I am an immigrant and I still know most of my neighbors
It’s wonderful that you know your neighbours!
But you don’t know your neighbors, dear friend
back when I lived on the westside, I had upstairs neighbors who were pretty cool- the husband restored paintings…
We often complain about our upstairs neighbours, but we forget asking ourselves whether we are good upstairs neighbours.
most folks are pretty oblivious…
Sad we don’t know our neighbors any more. I have an elderly lady I visit.
That’s true! We should at least know who lives next to us.
I live in a house with my sister. Fortunately, I’m upstairs and my sister downstairs
You are lucky about that!
We used to live in flats while we were in the city and yes we knew all of them.
That’s great! I am not very social sometimes, but it has some benefits too.
