intrusive neighbors driving me nuts - a very long rant

I can't help but think that you are surprisingly antisocial...some neighbors come over to say hi to the person who just moved in and your first moves are to basically alienate every single one of them. I'm not saying they're perfect, and yeah 8 AM is too early for a visit, but DAMN.

Then again, this is 2+2.

Old people have nothing better to do. They want to remain relevant, so they become the neighborhood watch for the social scene.

I don't doubt that. I'm just saying OP probably isn't the image of a perfect neighbor either. I mean, for Christ's sakes, I sure as hell wouldn't want to stop unpacking in my empty house to stop and make small talk with new neighbors. I've got important things to do. Like, uhhhhh, unpack.

Unpacking your house all by yourself is a pretty major and sometimes physically stressful task that can take an incredible amount of time. I could see being exhausted and just wanting it over with. I could also see having to return a borrowed truck or whatever. So I don't think we can call this one really.
