The sad reality is that the fabric of society is changing: fewer and fewer people know their neighbors — who they are and what they do. Take the United States as an example. In 2018, Pew Research conducted a study with shocking conclusions. The findings show that less than a third — only 31% — of Americans know who their neighbors are. Unbelievable, I know. This number changes quite a bit if you go to the countryside (where 40% know who all or most of their neighbors are) and to urban neighborhoods (a mere 24% know the people living next to them). Ironically, it looks like the closer your neighbors live to you, the less well you know them.

Meanwhile, the New York Post writes that two out of every three millennials feel as though they don’t belong to the local community in which they live. Fortunately, around 69% stated that they wish things would be different, so perhaps there’s some hope for youngsters yet.

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I don't see anything wrong with reaching out to a random stranger in a friendly way. You should introduce yourself and explain what a number neighbor is. If the person isn't interested apologize for the inconvenience and never contact them again. Otherwise it's a nice way of saying hello.

I've gotten two random texts in my life. One was a friendly-looking older gent with an angled shot of his feet with the caption "Nice feet!" I simply can't imagine the story behind that. The other was someone saying, "Stop ignoring me and get me the stuff! Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!" I replied in a friendly way and said, "You have the wrong number :-) Hope you get what you're looking for." I didn't expect a reply but they replied very nicely apologizing and thanking me. Was the most conversation I had that month....

It is hard to believe that noone recognizes their own phone number when texted with "Hi number neighbor". Are people really that dumb?

3points

Frozengeckolover 5 years ago

Yes. People are that dumb. But it's also partly because of spam/telemarketing. Telemarketers have started "masking" their numbers, which means you could get a robo call or text from a number similar to your own (but it's not actually from that number). My husband keeps getting calls from HIS OWN number! This is totally illegal, but no one can stop it. Now we are all wary of answering similar numbers and I get multiple calls a day from senior citizens who insist I just called them. I can't make them understand that I didn't call them; a robo caller did it using my number without my permission. I've just started saying, "Sorry about that. I must have miss-dialed." People who haven't heard of the number neighbor challenge might assume it's a scammer.

This is one of the few trends that don't require you to harm yourself or put yourself in an easy-to-turn-dangerous situation (tide pods, cinnamon, friggin baby-shark bs) - it's literally the equivalent of smiling at a stranger and saying "Hi!" - if you don't want to participate, you can simply say "Nah, not into this - I'm good thanks. Bye." - why so much rudeness?

Omg! Prank him! Sneak into his phone and erase your contact (that way your name won't come up on his phone when you text him) then do the number neighbor challenge on him. If he is rude to his number neighbor (you), tell him, "Well, I guess I won't be cooking you -insert favorite meal- for super tonight."
