We met him two days before moving in. He gave us a hard time about where exactly the line was between the two properties, and make sure you don't sneak a millimeter on mine. Gave us a hard time in the winter when we tried to park our 2nd car in our driveway in the back of our house. Was just generally unpleasant, or at most, neutral. Not very friendly.
But, we stayed polite, kept saying hello how are you, smiling and being neighbourly. I saw him on Saturday, taking out the garbage. "So... you guys are moving?" Gave him a brief update on our plans, including the fact that we are leaving next Saturday. Saw him again tonight, taking out the garbage ( we seem to have a lot of that in the past few days). He actually carried on a conversation for about 10 minutes! I'm guessing he has not suddenly turned into a friendly version of his former self, but maybe now that we are leaving, he realizes we were actually pretty ok people to have around, and does not know what to expect from the next owners... Haha, not our problem anymore, old man.
I also found out today that one of my collegues at work is also leaving, next week. There is going to be a completely different staff in that department in the next few weeks. They have already hired 3 new people, and will need 2 more in the next couple of weeks. Change is good.
