Question

New neighbors gave us some cookies. We thanked them, but did not invite them to have a cup of coffee. Was that rude?

No. If you feel you were rude, you can always invite them back for coffee.

Question

How would I greet my neighbor at night?

Community Answer

Knock on their door and give them a treat and say "Hi, welcome to the_______(your neighborhood)". Let them know which part of the street you live in and don't expect to hang around too long, as they may be having dinner or watching a favorite show.

Should I greet a new neighbor who has decided to ignore me?

Sure. Maybe they're just shy. Even if that's not the case, you can set a positive example by being friendly even when others are rude.

Question

How do I thank a new neighbor for plowing my driveway other than saying thank you?

Community Answer

You could provide them food or a small card expressing your gratitude. Maybe even plow their driveway next time––return the favor.
