What is a Polish neighbor like?

My question is what is an average Polish neighbor like?

Do you like living near your Polish neighbors, are they friendly?

In Poland people say that "Who has a good neighbor doesn't need a fence" or "Who has a good neighbor always has a good morning". Is it (still) true?

My neighbours were great. But I've heard some horror stories, like everywhere

It depends. Even though the sayings are true, they don't mention it's terribly hard to have a good Polish neighbor. Some of them are jealous of each other and interfere into your family matters...

Yeah, upierdliwy sometimes but my landlord is super helpful. Hello said it correctly, IT DEPENDS. Need not say much more on this

probably same as danish or german neighbor or any else from europe

I would disagree. Poles are very specific in their social contact with other Poles, especially their neighbours; invite your Polish neighbor for a dinner and the next day you may be treated as a family member (in both good or bad aspects). A Polish neighbour sometimes knows more about you than you do about yourself :).

I mean Polish neighbours between Polish neighbours (not Poles between a foreigner where the barrier is usually thicker).

My Polish neighbour is fine, she mostly keeps to herself, which is fine. It's the Scottish ones we could all live without. The husband is loud and comes home drunk, shouting in the street...sigh.

However, there are a couple of Polish guys living down the street who were loud for a while. They'd put loud music on late at night. Someone called the police though and they came and spoke to them once and there's been nothing since. They're both nice lads.

U can't generalise PolskaDoll. I know many Scots who are appalling neighbours, like in most countries. What is a Polish neighbour? What is an English neighbour? What is a Japanese neighbour? The answer to the third question, much quieter than the rest. Let's all be thankful that we don't have gun-toting neighbours like in the US

I mean Polish neighbor is someone who comes from Poland (was born in Poland or speaks Polish).

Yes I mean my particular Scottish neighbours. The wife is a gossip who spreads lies (she did it about me) and the husband is an old aggressive drunk.



No, just the odd knife or baseball bat toting one...



It's probably the same for most nationalities. Polish will head for Polish, British for British.

I 'm in Canada, my neighbours are exactly like that and none of them is Polish. I don't think it’s a polish phenomenon.

I don't know if you're Polish.. but would your neighbors invite you to their kid's wedding party the day after you met? Or go and try to borrow $500 the day after you met? Or try to get married their daughter to your son (even though they haven't met yet)? Or try to borrow your car to go pick up someone from the airport? Don't think so..

Unless your neighbours... are of Polish-origin :)

Just because you had bad experiences with neighbours does not mean that all of them are like that. Yes I am Polish and I had plenty of polish neighbours in my past and have yet to meet one that even remotely comes close to the above.

Well,i'm polish and i think we're ok at being neighbors but if someone has a go at us then we really get fustraded(however you spell it lol)

oh and we're NOT haunted as were lots of tuff babes and were gonna stay dat way for more dan evaaa!!!!!!!!!

Having a Polish neighbor/landlord means that they will always have the nicest looking house/yard on the block. Also the nicest car. I am Polish and most of my friends are the same like me. We keep the cleanest houses and the nicest yards.
I live in Boston and I can honestly say that I DO HAVE the nicest house in the neighborhood. I do all of the work myself and not hire illegals to do my chores like some of my neighbors.
