2. Everyone does if I say hi or wave first, but...
if I don't make the first move, only one or two say hi.

5. A large majorty
Immediate neighbours - all of them; random folk in the village (whom I've never met) about 3/4, there's barely a single person who won't respond if one says "good morning" &c.

9. Almost all of them
I'd say about 95% do.

And you're expected to say "hi" or really "hey" to strangers on the street too. Common courtesy.

11. not very many
our neighbours don't care for our politics. (big surprise there)

After all we live in the birth place of the republican party.

Our Kerry/Edwards signs were continually stolen.

16. 0 even acknowledge our existence. Probably because I slammed the door
in the face of the 1st who came over to say "hi" after we moved in. I have no desire to know our neighbors since we sold the last place due to insane neighbors.

Only one uppity bitch across the street refuses to acknowledge that she has any neighbors. We all want her to move.

aLthough, 1 neighbor i've been waving to, since he sits on the porch across from us, nonstop.

if i had my choice i'd knockout most of my neighbors before saying hi to them.... or maybe urinate on them.
