Neighbor vs. Neighbor
The woman in the apartment upstairs plays her piano after midnight.
The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The garbage blows into your yard.
The guy next door always parks his car in front of your driveway.
Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”
These days, many people don’t know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly wave or say hello, but a lot of people don’t even know their neighbor’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to build up frustration and resentment. You think, “Maybe they like to annoy me,” or “Maybe they do it deliberately.” Believe it or not , your neighbors probably don’t mean to irritate you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re getting on your nerves. So before you take extreme measures to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you approach you neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Compliment their children or do something else to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple solution, suggest it.
If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor resolve the situation.
Finally, sometimes it’s a good ides to avoid the problem. Depending on the issue, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor’s way.
