The best neighbors are probably the ones who ask for nothing and make sure to stay out of your way. Of course, some folks are blessed with great people living next door who arefriendly, kind, and generous. But there always has to be one rotten apple in the bunch, right?
A family who moved into a new house quickly realized that their neighbors were extremely entitled after the dad demanded to be given theirbunker’spassword. He expected to just be able to use their space freely no matter how uncomfortable they felt.

If your neighbor asks for the code to access a part of your house when you’re not around, that’s pretty suspicious behavior

The poster moved into a new house that came with a bunker, so they decided to use it as a studio, which is why they have started storing expensive equipment there and keeping a lock on the door

The neighbor’s kids were used to playing in the bunker because the previous family would let them, so their dad came to talk to the poster after realizing the bunker was locked

The dad expected the neighbor to share the bunker’s passcode so that he and his kids could use it whenever needed, either to play in or for the sake of safety

The poster wasn’t sure about giving out the passcode like that because they don’t know the neighbor that well and aren’t sure if he’s trustworthy
Bunkers are built to withstand natural disasters and maybe even anapocalypse. They’re constructed with heavy-duty materials that can last long. That’s why the poster’s bunker can block out sound pretty well, so they decided to use it as more of an office space. They also started to store many expensive items there and used a heavy-duty lock to secure the area.
The poster could have given in to the neighbor’s request, but it might have led to trouble later on. According toattorneys, if someone from next door uses your property without permission for a period of five years and pays taxes on that area, they can get possession of the space. It may seem like a far-fetched concept, but that could have also been what the neighbor was planning to do.
According toZacks & Freedman, “adverse possession is a legal concept that allows a person to gain ownership over someone else’s real property without their consent.” Even if the next-door dad truly didn’t have ulterior motives, you can’t blame the poster for wanting to be safe and not giving just out their passcode.
Even if you want to be the best neighbor, you probably don’t have to give in to every person’s demands. Entitled people like this can easily exploit a person’s good nature. So, it makes sense that the poster was cautious about giving out their bunker’s passcode.
Do you believe the neighbor’s story that he and his family would only use the bunker for safety purposes and as a space for the kids to play? Let us know if you have any othertheoriesabout the guy’s motives.
