Hi, I saw a strange car in your driveway, who came to visit?
You and the missus got into a tiff last night, we could hear you fighting next door.
Sticks head over the fence, Whatcha cooking up their buddy?
I saw you had a package dropped off, I didn't want it to get stolen, so I grabbed it and now I'm bringing it to you, what's in the box?
Either that or they are always lurking, staring out their windows, or they are always complaining.
Out of every 10 Americans, 3 have lived next to neighbors who peek over their fence or into their homes.
