Which street is it? (Not that I’m looking for crack.)

There is only one solution, you must up the ante.
From now on, whenever you see her, you must smile broadly and loudly shout, ‘Hi’ and wave enthusiastically! It’s the only way.
After a couple of weeks of this, (never let up), take her some flowers or some oranges, (unwrap them!), call her ‘Auntie’ when you give them to her. “These are for your Auntie!”, then quickly turn and leave. They don’t have to be fancy flowers, truly. But any oranges need to look lovely and nice.
Then, just keep waving.
I predict you become her new best neighbour! Do let us know how it works out, I can’t wait to hear!
I predict this will drive her to blind gibbering rage.
Could be fun.
Ambivalid:
I dealt (deal) with somewhat of a similar situation with my next door neighbors. I’ve lived in my house now for 5 years and in that time, the old couple that lives next door to me have uttered a total of less than 10 words to me and smiled precisely zero times; despite my friendly attempts at neighborly camraderie (waving from my car, saying ‘Hi’ when passing, etc.).
I wasn’t replacing crackheads (or any type of bad tenant or neighbor), I was replacing a nice older couple. But I have given them absolutely no reason for their cold, almost hostile behavior towards me. All my other neighbors are great and I get along with them well. But these folks just treat me as if I don’t exist. For the life of me, I have no idea why; I’ve just written them off as crabby old people who are grouchy at the world.
Greet them enthusiastically, tell them it’s a really great neighborhood, you really like it here, and all your friends want to move nearby. So how soon might they be moved to the nursing home, so their house will be on the market?
After that, you will at least know one reason they are hostile!

I don’t know guys…some funny replies.
Make an appt with her at her salon maybe?
I would say that this could be funny … for the rest of us.
