Neighbours—love them or fear them—they always seem to know way more about your life than you think. From noticing your morning routines to catching you in little quirks you didn’t even realise you had, they’re like low-key detectives living next door. For Anastasia Sharova Singh, a Russian woman living in India, this “neighbourly observation” reaches hilarious heights. She recently shared some of the funniest things her neighbours apparently know about her everyday life.
Anastasia’s list had everyone laughing. Her neighbours know the exact time her pressure cooker goes off in the morning, her favourite sambrani scent is rose, and they can even tell how often she burns her chai (apparently, smell doesn’t lie). They’ve noticed her struggle to kill cockroaches despite multiple attempts, her habit of watering plants in her nighty while talking to her flowers, and even her terrace mosquito-frying competitions with her husband.
The quirky list doesn’t stop there. They know how she screams at monkeys who raid her fruit weekly, track her fitness routine of 12 walks past the house daily (hello, 5k steps!), and can probably predict when she’s on an Amazon shopping spree. Anastasia’s anecdotes are not just funny—they’re a reminder that sometimes your neighbours know more about your life than your friends do!
Internet reacts
Many found Anastasia’s story hilarious and relatable. Some admired how Indian neighbours can be so observant without being intrusive. Others shared that their neighbours mostly know personal details, like health issues or daily routines. A few pointed out that it’s a common Indian phenomenon for neighbours to know almost everything about adults in the household, though not so much about the children. Some also joked about setting boundaries, noting that certain hours of the day are best left undisturbed. Overall, her anecdote struck a chord with many online.
