She's doing her best

Have some tact

Having a tree house as a kid meant that you were probably the ruler of the neighborhood. Everyone wanted to be your friend, they all came over to your house to play in the tree house, and it simply made you the most popular kid around. Not that I would know how that feels, I never had a treehouse… or friends, but I can imagine how fun it must be to have both. Being the parent of the kid with the treehouse, well, that might not be as fun. Not only are you responsible for your own kids' safety, c…

That's not your pool bro

I have been living in a 12-floor building with hundreds of residents for about a year and I cannot tell you the names of more than five of my neighbors. When I moved, I thought I might meet people in the elevator and get familiar with them, but I hardly ever see anyone, and for some reason, people here do not go out of their way to be particularly friendly to new residents. So if I had a neighbor like the person who wrote this Reddit story, I would have been overjoyed to have someone give me su…

Coffee shops are the perfect place to relax, work, or meet up with friends, and although there is some debate regarding whether it's socially acceptable for people to sit down for hours on their laptop while drinking a singular coffee for 5 bucks, coffee shops allow it. This person had just moved into a new apartment and was exploring the neighborhood when they discovered a cute cafe that sold some delicious cake. So they packed up their laptop (they were freelancing) and sat down to have a cof…

Cat people vs. dog people

I have yet to meet parents who respect their kid's boundaries. My mom for one, is a lovely person, but she doesn't have a respectful bone in her body. She'll tell the whole neighborhood about my dating life, despite my many pleas to not do that. She'll also show up unannounced at my apartment in the evenings. It's especially frustrating if I have a date over. Finally, she went through all my drawers and even read my journal when I was a teenager. As I said, zero boundaries. Some parents can be…

Down with the 1%

It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Please, won't you be my neighbor?

If you want something done, do it yourself

These people didn't play their cards right when trying to mess with one of their neighbors who happened to be a hard-headed woman. They were selling their house, and were furious that this woman had the nerve to have boxes scattered across her driveway. The woman was just reorganizing her garage, but these people didn't care. They called up the HOA, which was the very last thing that they should have done… Haven't you ever heard of polite conversation? Not that they had a chance at that either,…

Fighting fire with fire

Gene is no good

Imagine your neighbors are noisy. Not just any kind of noisy, but the vacuuming at 3 am, stomping, and yelling at odd hours kind of noisy. Starting to get the picture? Good, because these neighbors that OP described were the absolute worst. Besides the noise disturbances late at night, these neighbors also made false claims regarding internet usage, which for some reason, affected OP. The thing is, a question arises. If you get someone evicted, are you potentially leaving them homeless? Will yo…

Parking in front of your house is such a crime
