When we look at a new house we're considering moving in to, we spend hours looking at every tiny little detail, like door angles, light direction and the color of the tiles in the walk-in closet. But one thing many of us overlook can actually end up impacting our life in our new home much more than the height of the electric sockets: neighbors.
Some neighbors can be great - they can help you out with things around the house, keep a spare key, and even become friends.
But sometimes, even if your house is perfect, a bad neighbor can turn it into an inhospitable wasteland.
We've gathered some of the best - or worst - text message conversations with bad neighbors we could find, and while we're sure the people living next to these individuals aren't enjoying themselves… we certainly are.
See You Around
Being friends with your neighbor can be pretty convenient, sometimes. For instance, if you happen to be the same shirt size, you can sometimes borrow clothes from each other. But what happens when you're good enough friends with a neighbor to borrow a coat, but not so good that, after wearing the coat and realizing it's perfect for you, you don't want to return it?
Well, if you're neighbors, you should be able to tell when they're out of town, and know when it's safe to wear it… right?
The Sanctity of Pizza
When your building has a buzzer, there will always be mix ups and accidents. Friends, delivery people and others will inadvertently buzz wrong apartments, and if your buzzer happens to be broken, you're going to be at the mercy of your neighbors' good will.
That may not be a problem if your neighbors are always home. But if, like normal people, they sometimes go out - well, you'd think you could count on them respecting the sanctity of pizza… but some people have no sense of right and wrong.
Breakup Burrito
With some neighbors, you can go for years without even knowing their name.
With others, you might develop relationships that are so close, they actually know what you're going through emotionally at a given time, and bother to check up on you every once in a while.
With others still, those relationships can become so familial, they don't mind bluntly asking you for lunch money.
Ryan seems to be one of these neighbors - although we do have to wonder: what filling does the burrito he wants have, that it costs 20 dollars?
Blink Twice If You're Okay
Some people thrive in apartment complexes. They love seeing their neighbors each time they step out into the hall, they love making small talk and checking up on their acquaintances, and they like knowing there's always someone nearby they can catch up with.
Other people, however, need their space. They'd be better off living in some remote country home, with at least a mile between them and their neighbors. And when the second kind of person finds herself living next door to the first kind of person - well, it can result in some pretty awkward text messages.
Can You Spare a Cup of Milk... and Your Child?
Being neighbors sometimes means more than just living next to each other.
You can find yourself lending your neighbors some milk, sugar or eggs, or asking them to water your plants while you're away. This isn't just reasonable - it's integral to being a part of a neighborhood community, and most people take comfort in knowing they can trust the people living around them.
But then, there's people like this.
Asking for milk is one thing, but asking for a person's infant child in order to use them as a prop in a pick-up scenario is so wrong, on so many levels, we'd probably consider moving out if we were in their place.
Not Too Seriously
Different people have different tolerances for loud noise. Usually that's not a problem, but when their schedules collide - well, that can be an issue… and when one of them is a smart aleck - that can truly be nerve wracking, especially if the other has to get up early the next morning.
Then again, it does provide some pretty hilarious text conversations, though!
Mondays
Not all neighbors are horrible - and it's important for us to show that.
Take this good Samaritan, for instance: It seems, based on the screenshot, that this was the first message this person sent to their neighbor - and they decided that that message should be as positive and wholesome as possible.
Some might think this is a little overbearing, but if this doesn't signal good will and friendliness, well - we don't know what does.
Pigs in Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones
Pigs, they say, are actually remarkably clean animals.
Still, there's a lot of stigma involved around hogs, and people don't usually think about them as pets - so it's not entirely unreasonable to react strongly when you realize your neighbor keeps one in their apartment as a companion.
Still, there's a way to voice your surprise and your criticism, even if your neighbors are keeping a pig as a pet, and we think Meghan from apartment 2A had it coming.
Getting That Recording
When do neighbors have a right to ask you to change things that happen on your own, private property?
Clearly, they can't tell you how to dress or who to see in the privacy of your own home - but what happens when something that happens in your house bothers them?
Say, wind chimes, that they can hear but can't do anything about?
We guess the best thing to do is just ask them nicely to take them down, and to hope they'll be neighborly about it. After all, a person with wind chimes ought to be pretty zen, right?
Cookie Monster Dave
Ah, neighbors. Nothing like a nice neighbor being neighborly and taking your packages to your doorstep on their way back to their own apartment… right?
Well, if they decide to help out of the kindness of their hearts, that's great - but if they then decide to also charge you for it by helping themselves to the contents of your mail… well, other than being a federal offense, that's just not a nice thing to do!
Then again, we can't help but understand Dave. It's impossible to resist a good cookie.
The Black Light Reveals All
When you rent an apartment, it becomes your home - and sometimes, people like to be messy.
And that's fine. But when your landlord comes over to show the apartment to potential future tenants, it's considered good manners to tidy the place up a bit before they show up.
If you did have the misfortune of having your land lord come in when the place is messy, however, it's probably not in your best interest to let them know about invisible stains in the rug, too.
Give Me Strength
Sometimes, things that are glaringly obvious to anyone seeing you from the outside can be pretty elusive to you, yourself - and nobody gets to see and hear you as much as your neighbors.
This neighbor felt that their fellow building tenant was in a harmful situation, and thought she'd weigh in with a friendly suggestion… but she probably wasn't expecting this kind of reaction when she wrote that text message.
Some people need more help than others, we guess!
A Chance at Fame
You know, getting hammered off of eggnog on Christmas is a time-honored tradition - but it can sometimes have consequences, and when you're living in close proximity to your neighbors, it's your responsibility to clean up those consequences if you happen to leave them in the stairwell.
Then again, you could try to leverage these consequences, and treat them like your ticket to nationally syndicated TV shows like Maury.
Such a Great Song
We've all been there. It could be Psy's "Gangnam Style" or Enya's "Orinoco Flow," or it could be something much more obscure, but whatever the song, we're sure you, too, have had days when all you wanted to hear was the same melody, over and over and over again.
There's no shame in it, but it can be a problem if you happen to have thin walls, and neighbors that aren't vibing with your musical choices.
Yes, we understand that in the privacy of your own home, nobody gets to tell you what to listen to, or for how long… but we also think there's room to take your neighbors feelings into account. We guess that's just the price of living in an apartment complex.
The Writing Was on the Wall
When you live downtown, parking is at a premium.
So when your building has reserved parking spots, and your neighbor keeps parking in yours, we can understand why you might get angry.
Staying on good terms with your neighbors is probably one of the most important things you can do for your psychological wellbeing, but when that comes at the price of having to repeatedly look for parking around your home, when you have a perfectly good parking spot that your neighbor keeps stealing… well, we think Chloe from 1A did the right thing.
What Would You Do?
When you're looking for a home, there are some things you have control over, and others you absolutely have zero way to influence.
You can, for instance, choose the location, or the type of building, and even change things around and renovate, making things just right for your needs.
But one thing you have no control over is who your neighbors will end up being.
Case in point: this person exchanged phone numbers with their neighbor, only to wake up one morning to find this text message.
Weird? Awkward? Maybe even a little scary?
Yes.
Reason enough to move out?
Well… it is a really nice location…
Dog Person
Dogs! Who doesn't love dogs?
Sometimes, though, we have to recognize our own short comings, and to acknowledge that, were we to actually get a dog, we'd probably not be able to provide it with the kind of care it needs and deserves.
What if there was a solution to this saddening situation, though? What if our neighbors, who are very capable people, were to get a dog? Then we could see it every day, pet it and play with it, safe in the knowledge that the dog is being looked after!
And if our neighbors don't want a dog? Well, at least we tried!
Area of Jurisdiction
Borders are a fickle thing.
If you're 18, for instance, you can drink beer on one side of the Canadian-American border, but not on the other - despite only moving a few inches to each side.
So what happens in the closely confined borders of a tightly packed neighborhood?
Where does one man's problem end, and another man's problem begin?
We don't know, but we're pretty sure people should pick up after their dogs.
Better Than Netflix
If you've ever lived in an apartment building, you've probably been inadvertently exposed to some pretty personal, private moments of other tenants.
It's an unspoken rule that, even when people's private moments have clearly been made public, in the name of being good neighbors, people try to maintain some semblance of ignorance, in order to help their neighbors maintain their dignity.
But sometimes, a situation can be so entertaining, weird, uncomfortable and amusing, all at once, that there's no point in pretending anymore.
Don't Ask Questions You're Not Ready to Hear the Answer To
Childhood can be tough - especially if you find yourself out of the cool kids' clique.
Knowing that some of your friends are meeting up without you can be hurtful at any age, but if you're at the age when parent-coordinated sleepovers are still a thing, getting rejected by a group and having that rejection be backed up by adults seems to especially sting.
Oh well - we're willing to bet Missy is better off without friends like Alexa.
Putting on a Show
In a close, tightly packed living situation, sometimes the definition of "privacy" can change a little.
People get used to both see and be seen by their neighbors while living their lives.
There are two ways to cope with this. You can either go out of your way to make sure your privacy isn't compromised… or you can just roll with the punches.
Grammar and Physics Don't Work That Way
You know, sometimes, something annoying like your back yard getting flooded with water from a neighbor's house happens.
When something like that happens, you want your neighbor to take care of it, and the problem to go away as soon as possible.
But what happens when you hit up the wrong neighbor? You can, of course, admit your mistake and move on to find the real culprit… but you can also stick to your guns, despite physics (and grammar) not being on your side.
It's a Free Country, Man
The Fourth of July is a date important to any American patriot - and a big part of showing your patriotism is by having large parties out in the sun, with barbecues and, ideally, a pool.
So when your apartment complex has a pool, we can understand why you'd like to hurry and call dibs on it for Independence Day as early as possible. Still, you have to be willing to understand that not everyone is going to be on board with your party plans, and that if you aren't nice about it, they might not be inclined to be nice, either.
Parental Responsibility
Some kids are more unruly than others. We've seen some toddlers with a penchant for running around disrupt settings like fancy restaurants, movie theaters and family gatherings, so having your neighbor's kid wander into your yard wearing less than is usually appropriate isn't that big of a deal… unless they happen to be, you know, 24 years old and drunk.
Not the Weather Channel
Sometimes, you think you're close to a person, when that person doesn't share your sentiments.
Take the person at apartment 3C and his over-friendly neighbor, for instance.
3C's neighbor thought they were on good enough terms to let them know they saw them parking, and to ask an innocent question about the weather.
The tenant at 3C, however, wasn't exactly thrilled with this, and had to resort to some, shall we say, colorful language.
A Reasonable Request
Leeching internet off of your neighbors' WiFi is a time honored tradition among poor students and other bohemians. It's just something you do, and it's become so common, people don't even feel bad freely admitting it's something they do, when it comes up in conversations.
But there's still a difference between that, and actually asking your neighbors to reset their router when their connection becomes spotty.
Then again, we guess it's better than doing it without letting them know about it at all?
Making a Move
Ryan.
Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.
We get it.
You have a crush on your neighbor, and you're glad her boyfriend broke up with her, because now you finally have a chance to make your move.
But trust us- this is not that move.
Yes, we've heard of "negging," but dude. Come on. That is neither the way to do it, nor the time to do it in.
Cat People
"Don't bother me again."
It seems like this cat owner has learned a thing or two from their pet, as far as attitude goes.
This whole text correspondence looks like a correspondence with an actual cat, rather than with a cat owner - if our own cats are any indicator of what a cat would say if it could speak.
About Time
Sometimes, you see a couple and just know they're toxic and wrong for each other.
Even on their good days, you can't help but look and think, "these guys ought to break up."
Still, even if they are the worst couple ever, there's a sensitive way to talk to them about their breakup - and then there's this.
But then again, if you've had to suffer through endless nights of these guys fighting with each other, we can definitely see why you might be feeling a little vindictive.
An Elaborate Ruse
This neighbor thought their next-door tenant was texting in for some cooking advice, but, as it turns out, it was all an elaborate ruse.
It seems that their turkey cooking neighbor wasn't really interested in cooking a turkey in the microwave, as much as they were interested in letting them know their popcorn making habits smell.
Is this the most passive aggressive neighbor in the universe?
Could be. Could be.
No Other Way This Could Have Happened
Imagine.
It's early morning. You stumble out of your apartment, bleary eyed and disheveled. You're going to be late for work - again - and the only thing you want is a cup of coffee.
Then, as you walk out into the hall, you spot it.
A large, pristine cup of Starbucks coffee.
It sits there, unattended, beckoning you to take a sip and energize your morning.
How can you refuse?
Sure, your neighbor might be angry with you later - but really, there's no other way this could have gone down.
No Price Tag on Friendship
It's nice to have neighbors you can count on.
Living next to people whom you can trust to lend a helping hand when you need it is reassuring and nice - but it's important not to take them for granted.
Take this neighbor, for instance, who just assumed it would be okay to, almost literally, drop a major kitchen appliance on her friend, without making sure it would be okay, first.
We know the stove's not cheap, but is it really worth the price of their friendship?
A Comfortable Car
Have you ever heard of the term "victim blaming?"
That's what's happening here.
Meghan is responsible for her neighbor's distress - and, probably, for at least some damage done to her car - but instead of owning up, she decides to blame the roominess of the car?
That is, seriously, pretty troubling - although it does sound like Meghan's heart is in the right place.
Ellen Time
You know what? There's very little that is sacred and pure on this earth, but Ellen is one of those rarities that everybody can agree should never, ever be disrupted, for any reason.
Especially if the person responsible for your problem is not even the person watching Ellen, but his adult son!
Sorry, but we have to side with the parent in this case - if the son is an adult, and this neighbor has an issue with something he's done, they should take it up with him, rather than disturb the sacred Ellen watching time.
At Least They're Honest
You know, life is full of surprises.
One day you're asking your neighbor to lend you their leafblower so you can clear your lawn, and the next, you find yourself pawning it off, along with the rest of your belongings, at the local pawn shop.
Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and do what you need to do to survive - although, you know, that's technically considered stealing.
Oh well. We've all been there.
Chill Out
Some people have a lot of nerve. Don’t they know that weekends are meant for sleeping in. There’s nothing worse than being woken up by a lawn mower or leaf blower. How annoying. As if this neighbor wasn’t inconsiderate enough, they responded with the most passive aggressive photo of a bunny, instead of apologizing.
While in any other situation we’d find the photo adorable, we can’t imagine we’d find it cute after waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Breakfast Menu
Okay, so we can’t say we’d mind if our neighbor sent us this message. It’s actually quite sweet that they invited them for a McMuffin. Who doesn’t love McDonalds for breakfast? We’re not quite sure why the person who got the text was so annoyed by it, we think it’s a nice gesture.
We wish we had neighbors who invited us out for breakfast. Maybe they’ll be a little less grumpy after eating something.
Total Garbage
Now here’s a roses are red, violets are blue poem we haven’t heard before and we’re guessing neither has this neighbor. What we don’t understand is what’s wrong about using your neighbor’s trashcan? Is it really that big of a deal? It’s just trash. Garbage is garbage.
Surprising Gifts
It’s always nice when your neighbor thinks of you and leaves you a gift. But when someone says they left you something outside your door it can be a blessing or a curse. On one hand it could be a gift like a chocolate cake, and on the other, it could be a pile of something gross.
There must’ve had some bad blood between these neighbors, and we can’t help but wonder what happened. We sure hope this neighbor didn’t poison a bagel.
Musical Taste
There’s always that one neighbor who plays their music way too loud. Do they not have any respect for others? By now you should know that people have different tastes in music and not everyone wants to listen to your favorite band.
But perhaps, this person could’ve asked a little nicer. We wonder if this neighbor actually turned their music down. We have to say we’d be tempted to blast it after this text.
Never Have I Ever
In every apartment building there’s that one person who doesn’t know how to park, making it super difficult for the rest of us. It’s just so annoying. This neighbor must really been a bad parker if they got this response from another tenant. Ouch.
How do you think the next Never Have I Ever went? We wonder if they had a comeback to the epic text.
What a Karyn
Karen’s get a bad rep and this may be why. Never trust a Karen. We’re only kidding, we know a lot of really nice ones. But we digress, when lending out your things, you should know there’s always a chance you won’t get them back.
So, it’s not the best idea to lend winter coats. They’re an essential when it’s cold and without one, you freeze. But Karyn didn’t seem to care, she was just being a typical Karen.
Grammarista
Noisy neighbors—pretty much everyone’s had to deal with them at some point. You have a few options: you can ignore them or you can tell them to be quiet. This person chose the latter, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to get through by phone.
So, they did the next best thing—texted. Instead of getting an apology, they got a grammar lesson. How irritating. Maybe next time they’ll just call the police and file a noise complaint. Let’s see how the neighbor about that.
Creepy Steve
When you get a text that says “Sorry for your loss” your mind goes to some dark places. Did a friend or family member of yours pass away and you were the last to hear about it? This message would give us quite a scare. Thanks Steve.
We certainly can see why he’s called Creepy Steve—he isn’t even trying to hide that he’s creepy—he admitted to looking through his peephole a lot.
Parking Thief
Have you ever gone to go park your car at the end of a long day only to see someone was parked in your spot? Ugh. It’s so annoying!
So, what do you do when it happens? This neighbor had the perfect idea to block the car in that was parked in their spot. Genius! The parking thief really got a taste of their own medicine. How does it feel?
Chainsaw Massacre
Wow. What a text. Todd must’ve been furious getting woken up by a chainsaw. Which leads us to wonder, who on earth runs a chainsaw at 7 a.m.? What’s worse is it has happened before. Todd must’ve been so annoyed that he texted the wrong neighbor.
Poor Ashley, she didn’t deserve this text. We wonder if Todd got Steve’s number. We can’t imagine how that text went.
Ex-Boyfriends
Awkward. Imagine finding out your ex-boyfriend of five years went shopping for an engagement ring just a week after you dumped him for cheating on you. Either he wants you back and is finding the ultimate way to apologize or he’s buying a ring for the other girl.
This neighbor was just trying to do the right thing, but they found themselves in one of the most uncomfortable situations. So, what do you do when this happens—backtrack?
Breaking and Entering
Spare keys are never a good idea—they’re usually really easy to find. But instead of worrying about burglars finding the key, this person had to worry about their neighbor Rob entering their apartment without permission. Really Rob? Were you that hungry that you had to go in just for food?
It’s still considering breaking and entering if you use a key without permission. We think it’s about time for this neighbor to change the locks.
Really Karyn?
We’re not sure why anyone still uses cabs when there’s Uber and Lyft which are so much more convenient and cheaper. But what happens when you know your driver?
Karyn (what is it with Karen’s?), thought it was so hysterical that she got into the car of her neighbor that she decided to Snapchat the whole thing. If that wasn’t bad enough, she didn’t even leave a tip. Really, Karyn?
A Problem Shared
We all have those friends who tend to ask us for favors a lot of the time. Most times, we just let them go ahead and have whatever they want—because what’s the point in making a big fuss. But other times, what they want from us is just simply too unreasonable, and bring us in to their dramas.
For example, this guy has clogged his toilet, and now wants to bring his stuff into someone else’s life. It’s a firm no from us.
Peeping Tom
Yikes!! This one is so creepy. We are not sure what we are more horrified by—the fact that this guy is spying on his neighbors with actual binoculars, or that he is genuinely so brazen about it, enough to actually question why they’ve put up a fence to stop him snooping?
Talk about unashamed, unabashed, entitled stalking! Shudder. We would put up more than a fence to keep this guy away from our homes.
Time to Bounce
We are truly not sure what to think of this one. Do you think that the owner of this trampoline is lying, and it really is simply their bed that’s getting a lot of squeaky action? Or is this neighbor being a bit of a snooty snob, assuming they know what this person’s getting up to in their private life and judging them for it?
Either way, we don't think these neighbors will be spending quality time together anytime soon.
No Dogs Allowed
Wow! We know that some people love dogs more than others. Some people find them utterly irresistible and charming beyond belief, and can’t help but stroke them as soon as they see them. Whereas others prefer to admire them from a distance, or stay away from getting slobber or dog hair all over them.
But this person’s response to someone petting a dog—to banish them from their home entirely—seems pretty extreme. What did this dog ever do to you?!
Poo it Forward
We know that neighbors have different customs and arrangements with each other, and various ways of living that work for them. Sometimes, two sets of neighbors will have very different ideas of how they should behave, and it can rub the other one up the wrong way.
But we just love how whatever misunderstanding happened here, to lead to both neighbors deliberately encouraging their dogs to poo on each other’s doorsteps. What a time to be alive.
Dog’s Dinner
Yuck! We hope we never are so unlucky to end up with such disgusting neighbors. We all know that sometimes having a dog can be a messy and noisy way of life, but we should also try our best to stop our dogs from being too much of a nuisance to other people around us.
And if someone complains that they need rest from working all week, how about you DO NOT boast that you personally are rich enough not to need to work? We are horrified.
Forgive and Forget
Ah, the season of goodwill! We love to see such heartwarming messages between neighbors around Christmas and New Year’s, wishing each other well and spreading cheer.
You might have had your differences over the year, but now’s the time to put that behind you and start afresh. Well this one tried, sort of… but the feeling of pleasantries didn't last so long, clearly.
Nighttime Caller
We can’t believe that this person really needs to text this to their neighbor—isn’t it obvious that if someone doesn’t answer your calls, nine times in a row, then they’re probably busy or doing something?
We suppose you might be worried about them, and want to check whether they really are ok—but if it’s 2am, chances are they are probably fine, and just asleep. So, leave them be, for heaven’s sake.
Dog Days
This one isn’t exactly a text from your neighbor, although we guess that your dog is sort of your neighbor in a way. An ideal, fluffy, full of love and happiness type of neighbor!
If only we had such loving and sweet neighbors that got so excited and happy about such simple things as a new postman. We don't deserve dogs, we really don’t. They are so pure in a way we can never truly appreciate.
Pizza Plans
We know that living alone can be difficult sometimes, and that’s why sometimes it’s nice to have neighbors nearby to offer a bit of companionship. Perhaps you can share the WiFi bills, or together find a solution to problems such as a power outage.
But sharing your pizza with an almost-stranger? Get outta town. That’s overstepping all kinds of boundaries and sacred limits.
Low Blow
There’s so much to unpick here. Firstly, this texter seems to be already aware in some way that their neighbor was thinking of getting a parrot, and is merely trying to confirm what’s going on.
And in response, the other neighbor first just tries to outright lie about what’s going on, and then when that doesn't work, promptly switches to insulting their choice of footwear. We just can’t fathom some people.
Need For Cheese
We actually have to admit that we can see both sides of the story with this one. Sure, it’s pretty annoying to have your neighbor constantly bugging you with demands—why can’t this guy buy his own darn cheese and bread? They’re his neighbor, not his mother!
But on the other hand, sometimes there just isn’t time to plan for a true cheese emergency—and when the need for cheese hits, you gotta act fast and hit up whoever’s nearest. We feel ya.
No Privacy
This one is quite sweet, in a way. It’s clear that this neighbor is pretty irritated by the noise they’re having to listen to, thanks to their neighbors being clearly drunk and having a lot of loud, possibly nonsensical, conversations. But on the other hand, they are both being pretty patient and kind with each other, despite the situation.
One neighbor just wants to protect his pal’s privacy, and the other doesn't quite know what’s going on, but at least is trying to explain. It’s all just kind of wholesome.
Below the Belt
Another day, another snap shot of neighbors trading cheap blows with each other. If someone asks you to keep the noise down, wouldn't you just oblige out of the sake of decency and trying to keep things pleasant?
We certainly wouldn't use this request as an opportunity to jump into insulting them randomly about something else. Perhaps these neighbors are just simply always at odds, and anything is an excuse to insult each other. How sad.
Multiple Personalities
It’s hard enough having to deal with one difficult neighbor at once. They all have different needs and demands, and sometimes they appear at odds with each other. So what do you do when these differing neighbors aren’t actually different people—but multiple sides of the same neighbor!
Would you give them wine? Would you stick to the previous personality’s advice? We have no idea in this situation.
You Know What’s Up
Sometimes, it’s nice to receive a random compliment or pleasantry from your next-door neighbor. Maybe they’re just feeling kind or positive in some way and want to share the good vibes?
Maybe, however it seems that this woman is wise to her neighbor’s tricks, as if they’ve pulled something similar before. And yep, she was right—the hidden agenda here is that he actually wants to borrow her car. At least he tried to add a bit of charm to the request.
No Buts
This one is just hilarious. We are not sure who is angrier here! At first it appears the mother of this child is insulted that her delightful daughter has been called a butter face, but then delving further into the situation, we see that the neighbor feels equally aggrieved. Because they feel that the child in question has endangered their health!
We don't want to open up a whole new can of worms here but… what actually is a butter face?
Hungry for More
This one really takes the cake! Literally. We are not sure which is more shocking—that this neighbor regularly breaks in to the house next door using their spare key to forage for food to feed their munchies, or that they are so wildly open about it!
In fact, not even just open—but entitled! Surely if you are using the key to sneak in, but then texting about it, you may as well just knock on the door and ask for food in person.
Scary Stuff
We cannot get over this neighbor’s response to their son PEEING in someone else’s pumpkin. Wouldn't you be truly mortified if your darling offspring did something so crude and unsanitary? Surely, you’d apologize profusely and ensure it wouldn't happen again.
But this neighbor is not only unapologetic—they are acting as if the other person is being unreasonable for being displeased about it! Utterly unfathomable.
Mom’s the Word
We have often heard people say that once you become a parent, your life changes dramatically and in a way that you can never undo. After all, you’re suddenly responsible for a whole new tiny person, and that just means you can’t think only about yourself like you did before.
But what no one prepares you for is that suddenly you change in the eyes of everyone else, too—including your needy neighbors, who now expect you to be their mom all of a sudden.
