Love them or hate them, neighbours are a great source of gossip, and we sometimes know more about them than we’d like.
And if you think that your habits and behaviour go un-noticed by those living next to you, then this Mumsnet thread will probably make for alarming reading.
People from around the UK have taken to the forum to reveal their nicknames for people who live nearby, ranging from friendly-sounding monikers like ‘Happy Dog Lady’ and ‘Dancing Dan’ to harsher terms like ‘Creepy Clive,’ ‘Honey Monster’ and ‘Bin w*****.’
One particular neighbour who loved to listen to everybody’s business was renamed Nosy McNosy’ by annoyed residents.
Meanwhile, an unfriendly woman was dubbed the ‘Ice Queen.’

The thread was started by a resident explaining she’s had a few names for her neighbours over the years, which included: ‘The Lottery Queen,’ for a woman who won a few thousands at the lottery and liked to brag about it.
She also called one of her neighbours who liked to sit at his computer shirtless ‘Internet King’ and a large woman with a moustache ‘Honey Monster.’
One neighbour who is always shopping was renamed ‘Barry the Bag’ and another was called ‘Roman Helmet’ because of her hairdo.
