I have one for a neighbor and I've been surprised at how unfamiliar that reference seems to be to people when I describe her that way. Unfortunately, mine is meddlesome and mean, not just nosy. But otherwise, the name suits her!

Oh yes! My Mom has Gladys as a neighbor in her senior mobile home park. Sometimes I will see her looking out her window when we come to visit and I always wave.

Absolutely!! And my DH and I call each other by her name whenever the other one is being nosy.
I'm a fan of lots of sixties sitcoms. I always wonder if anyone recognizes my pea name🙄

Oh yes, I recognize Gladys Kravitz and Wrongway Feldman both. But I grew up watching Bewitched and Gilligan's Island.

My husband and I often sit in our front yard with the dogs. I always say I feel like Mrs. Kravitz when I watch what the neighbors are doing. Thankfully it is generally a really boring neighborhood now that our neighbors are no longer running a marijuana emporium.

I know Gladys Kravitz. When I tell my husband something the neighbors are doing, he calls me that. It's a standing joke with us because I can't see any of our neighbors from our house so he says if I know what they are up to, I must be going out of my way to see them.  |

Yes! Child of the 80s/90s and lots of Nick at Night!! Loved that show! We still use "Kravitzing" as a verb if someone is peeking out the blinds watching what the neighbors are up to lol!

Yes! We call our lab that. We have curved stairs that go up to the second floor, with a landing in the middle. She likes to lay there, look out the front door, and watch all the comings and goings in the neighborhood.

DH & I would get the reference but I'm sure our 18 & 20 year old would have no clue.  |

I know Gladys Kravitz from bewitched but who is wrong way Feldman aside from the pea? I have seen Gilligan's island but don't remember well enough.

Yes, I know who Gladys Kravitz is. I can also tell you that her current incarnation lives next door to me. She even has a very annoying voice, though more in a high pitched baby talk manner, rather that that scratchy screech Mrs. Kravitz had.  |

Oh definitely! One of my favorite shows when I was a kid. --- Now, the question is would my 22-year-old dd know? I'm going to ask her when she wakes up.

One of my most favourite tv shows ever growing up! Every now and then it comes on tv on a Saturday afternoon and I still love watching it- the clothes, the furniture and I just loved Samantha and Darren (the first one of course!) |

Truthfully, if I had capyured even a glimpse of what Gladys did, I might have become a bit mosey. Poor woman, everyone thought she was seeing things, when in truth, she was seeing things. I always felt a bit sorry for her
