This Is A Power Move

Ketchup Critics

This has been going on for months and has only gotten worse these past few weeks. The lovely cleaning ladies have begged me to help them find out who is taking advantage of them, and last night I took the liberty of putting on gloves, going through the trash, and finding mail addressed to them. I found out who the neighbor was and placed all the trash back on their porch. Call me a jerk, but multiple neighbors have placed notes asking them not to leave trash bags outside in the hallway.

I Present To You, Lazy Neighbors. These Neighbors Are Only A Few Steps Away From The Trash Chute And Refuse To Dispose Of Their Trash Properly. They Just Leave Their Trash In The Hallway

Younger generations are even more guilty of doing this.

Can’t explain how angry I am. Someone destroyed the grave of my cat. My cat Franz passed away after a neighbor kicked him in the stomach. He couldn’t recover from this.Yesterday I found the grave of my dead cat destroyed in the backyard. I reached out to the Facebook group for my village. Today the mother of the 5-year-old kid who destroyed the grave called me. His son is guilty and wants to apologize. He said it was a mistake and wanted to give me money for the damage. The mother interrupted him and told him the truth. He and his 2 friends destroyed the grave and threw the wood into the small river. This was no mistake. I am really sad and angry someone destroyed the grave without any remorse. But it’s a 5-year-old, I can’t call the police for this. I just wish he told me the truth. I made this cross fully with my hands, handpainted it and wrote his name in old German letters. He doesn’t deserve this.

Their car insurance covers all of the damages. Luckily, they were insured. My homeowner’s insurance is handling everything communication-wise with their insurance.

“Gone are the days when Wilma Flintstone chatted with her neighbor Betty over the fence as they hung their laundry. We don’t even have time for that. Some neighborhoods forbid the use of clotheslines!” says global community building expert, author, and founder and CEO ofKalliergo Community Building, Lori Gosselin, toBored Panda.“It’s sad,” she adds. “More attention needs to be drawn to this systemic issue. Humans need community like they need oxygen and yet today there is little time to cultivate true community connections.”

The dad threatened me last week saying he’d break my windows if my dog ever poop in his yard (my dog has never done so). Found this, presumably from his kids being little idiots, already caught them once putting a hole in my siding with a rock. Can’t approach parents without potentially being attacked. Filed a police report and they couldn’t care less. $1000 repair.

This is not across the street. This is the block over. Best of our picture-taking contest, the power of Christ was too great for our phones to depict this behemoth in all its 20-foot glory.

Yesterday night, at about 11, I heard what sounded like pebbles hitting my bedroom window, then a male voice screaming names. About 15 minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. I checked the Ring camera to find a guy I didn’t recognize standing there. He said he was my downstairs neighbor and told me to stop stomping so loud, it’s been six months of nonstop noise, and he’s “sick of it”. I moved in three months ago, not six, and I’ve never had a noise complaint in any of my previous apartments. Plus, my job means I’m gone for 12-14 hours a day. I don’t know what he’s hearing, but I don’t think it’s me. Even if it is, throwing pebbles and then coming to my door at midnight is a weird way to handle it. This whole situation is freaking me out.

According to Gosselin, one of the culprits of declining friendliness among neighbors might be the growing demands of our lives, like work and childcare, that leave little time for leisure.She suggests that the disappearance of front porches might be another. “People used to occupy the front porch in the evening, greeting neighbors out for evening strolls or walking their dogs. But now we disappear onto the back deck, seeking solitude, choosing introversion over extroversion.”

Maintaining low contact or no contact at all with neighbors often leads to more frequent disagreements, and research has shown that it can negatively affect people’s psychological well-being later in life.

The rest of the condo is destroyed from water, fire, and smoke damage, including all of our belongings and the new Xbox Series X I just bought and saved up for. To make matters worse, on my way to move in that night with my parents after being displaced after the whole ordeal, someone hit my new car.

We have an HOA but clearly, they don’t care, but they do care if my garbage can is left out 30 seconds after garbage is picked up.

Estrangement fromneighborscan also result in safety and security infringements. “When you know your neighbors, there is a sense of safety and security,” explains Gosselin.“In my childhood neighborhood, parents parented all the kids on our streets. We knew everyone, and many years later, though most of us have moved away, we see one another at funerals as our parents passed on,” she fondly recalls.

“There is a special connection neighbors should enjoy, but this connection needs to be cultivated. My parents partied with the neighbors. My mother met with other mothers for coffee, often. We had memorized the phone number of her closest friend in the neighborhood and knew to call there if she wasn’t home. Our children today miss this. Worse;they don’t even know what they are missing,“she adds.

The first three photos show some of my neighbor’s handwork. The last picture shows what the trees are supposed to look like. I don’t understand how multiple people on one street can feel compelled to psychotically destroy trees like this. They don’t even own the trees!

It happened twice this week, we live in a building and this woman who lives at the bottom floor throws dog food on my car because I’m parked in front of her window.She doesn’t even have a car.

So my neighbors' college-aged daughter always parks over the sidewalk causing all the neighborhood kids and walkers to go into the street to get around her SUV (it’s a pretty busy street as it feeds into the rest of the neighborhood). I’ve asked her once and her response was let me ask my parents, but nothing happened. Fast forward about 9 months. My mom who uses a wheelchair (due to advanced MS) is coming to visit so I asked the neighbor if he could possibly have his daughter park in a way that didn’t cover the sidewalk, while she was here visiting. This pic shows his response. Also, as you can see there is plenty of parking not only in the street but in their own driveway!

But not all residents are completely against fostering neighborhood interactions. Nextdoor, partnered with The Harris Poll, found that71%of adults would like to meet more people in their neighborhood, while 50% say they wish they had a closer relationship with surrounding dwellers. Despite having such aspirations, 47% of grownups admit that it’s difficult to make new connections.

He stopped when I asked, but will probably just do it again tomorrow when I leave for work. The chlorine destroys the grass every year.

Gosselin doesn’t find it the least bit surprising that many adults struggle with making connections with surrounding dwellers.“This would require what would amount to a herculean effort, but most of us do not have time or energy for this. After work, picking up the children from daycare, or greeting them at home after school, getting supper ready, dealing with homework and a little time before bed, when do parents have time to go out and build community with their neighbors?”

This neighbor appears to have gone around the barrier because their need to get home (and, apparently, leave again) was more important than everyone else on the street who has to see this every day going forward.

Neighbor Left Their Mark On The New Road

It’s mildly infuriating that I have to step over all of that nasty trash to be able to reach the dumpster to throw my garbage away. Usually, I end up just walking to a different dumpster, seems to be just my immediate neighbors who are incapable of actually putting their trash IN the dumpster.

Neighbors Pile Their Trash Up In Front Of The Empty Dumpster

Still in shock. We just walked out of the bedroom two minutes before it happened. Police and fire departments have been here for hours with no contact from the landlord whatsoever, and now our apartment is uninhabitable.

We do live on the top floor so I understand not wanting to take the trash down immediately. However, maybe consider that you shouldn’t block my door and the closest staircase to me.

I spend most of my time at my girlfriend’s house, so most days I am only at my house for a few hours at most. The eggs always get thrown when I am home and during the day but I’ve never seen it happen so I’m not even sure who is doing it. The 1st time it happened I thought my neighbor just dropped them, but there have been marks from the yolks on my door the last 2 times.I try my best to be quiet when I’m home because my downstairs neighbor has a young child. I’ve only lived here 2 months and I’ve never even spoken to any of my neighbors so I don’t understand why this is happening.My only consolation is that they are considerate enough to only use hard-boiled eggs.

New construction in the neighborhood. My house is on a cul de sac and trucks cut the corner and drive on my lawn all the time. I have debated getting boulders but they’re really expensive in my area. Also considering some 6x6 posts. One of the issues is the main water line runs along the road (blue line in the picture) and I have a utility easement 10’ from the road. Looking for ideas of what I could potentially do. I was thinking maybe I could argue to the county that the builder is risking potentially damaging the main line from the weight of the trucks driving on it?

Sheriff says that in our county you’re allowed to park on the outer 8 feet of someone else’s lawn for a day or two without their permission because it’s considered the shoulder. Come back to the same spot as many times as you want, just don’t be there continuously. You probably don’t have the right to damage someone else’s vegetation but I can’t prove it was him.

Neighbor hit the gas while texting instead of the brake and totaled my parked 2012 VW CC with her 2019 Chevy Silverado Z71 while also causing property damage to my fence. And she thought it was funny and laughed at the whole situation. This was the first car I bought through a dealership and legitimately instead of buying from a friend and under the table. Now it’s gone. But better the whip on a truck instead of me in an ambulance.

This place had three feet of mud on the floor when I found it and it took weeks to clear out and make pretty. They left beer cans and broken bottles everywhere. I had an old window that they smashed to pieces. They destroyed my hosta too.

Just needed to vent because our newly adapted apartment is being destroyed after we just recently finished adapting it fully.
