The neighbor’s behavior prompted the woman to ask netizens what they would do in the awkward situation
The woman goes on to add that since they had a bit too much rubbish, her husband deposited a black bag oftrashin their neighbor’s bin. They didn’t think too much of it, since the trash was being collected the next day. However, due to bad weather, the trash didn’t end up being removed, and the neighbor spotted the extra bag in his bin.
To make matters worse, the neighbor then told OP that his wife was apparently devastated because she had ignored her on the street a few times, something that came as news to OP. She then goes on to tell the readers that she and her husband are quiet people who get along well with their other neighbors before asking netizens what they would do in this situation.

Technically speaking, what OP and her husband did was out of line. They could have at least asked the neighbors if it was OK to use their bin for the extra bag of trash. By not doing so, they were acting entitled, and not getting the bag back when the neighbor complained was just plain rude.
History is littered withfeudsbetween neighbors, some epic, some ridiculously petty. Take the case of Hulk Hogan’s pet menagerie in Belleair, Florida.Hoganclashed with his neighborhood homeowners’ association over his extensive collection of pets. Neighbors’ complaints led to fines and orders to comply with local regulations, which Hogan contested, claiming he was targeted due to his celebrity status.
Then there’s theinstanceof the middle finger statue in Chino Hills, California, where a disagreement over a koi pond’s placement led homeowner Tina Rose to commission a large statue of a hand giving the middle finger, prominently displayed facing her neighbor’sproperty. Despite reconciling later, the statue remained as a testament to their past feud.
Finally, we couldn’t publish this article without mentioning theincidentof the opera-playing neighbor in Sturovo, Slovakia. In response to her neighbor’s constantly barkingdog, a woman began blasting an aria from Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” at full volume from sunrise to late at night. This continued for 16 years before authorities intervened, arresting her for harassment.
All things considered, we think it’s fair to say that OP and her husband got off lightly.
