Moved here a couple years ago, initially met the neighbors and know their names, but haven't had more than a handful of couple sentence interactions since then.

On the one hand, I do want a little distance: I'm not trying to hang out all the time or necessarily make new best friends. But still seems like the neighborly thing to know each other a little bit more, to have someone to call in case of emergency, or hey your dog got out, hey the global order has collapsed let's band together to keep out the raiders, etc.

So interested to know, if you do interact with your neighbors, how did you get started? What is the extent of your interaction?

I was coming upstairs, as they were struggling to carry a fake dead body downstairs. His back was to me, with his arms hooked under the dummy’s armpits. His buddy was carrying the legs and saw me first. He jokingly went “oh we’re filming a-… Uhh… Porno?”

I responded with something along the lines of “I’m not even gonna worry about it until I start hearing farm animals.”

They laughed. I laughed. We haven’t spoken since (because I haven’t heard any farm animals yet.)
