It’s insane when people just refuse to mind their own business!

And to ask a neighbor to stop walking on their own street because of a weird hangup is just next level.

That said, you never have to give in to unreasonable requests.

Check out how an argument escalated between the two!

AITA for walking back and forth in front of my neighbor’s house?

Every morning at 5AM I take my dog on a walk.

He tries to always be attentive towards his son.

Because my son is home alone (asleep) while I do this I only walk up and down our own street, so I can see the house always, instead of going around the neighborhood.

I was confronted by a neighbor today for walking back and forth in front of his house every night “like a psycho.”

This man had a point.

I said I was actually walking back and forth in front of my own house, his just happens to be very close to it.

He told me to stop. I said he doesn’t own the street, but I will keep my dog out of his yard if that is his concern.

Things got heated up.

He said what I’m doing is harassment. I rolled my eyes and said he was being an idiot.

He called me an entitled AH.

So that ended that conversation and any chance of a fond neighborly relationship.

He realizes his mistake.

Obviously, I shouldn’t have called him an idiot.

What the neighbor said was completely absurd!

However, does he have the right to dictate who and how often someone walks by his house?

Am I truly an entitled AH?

Why can’t this man peacefully walk on his own street?!

Let’s check out Reddit community’s view on this one!

The neighbor should just sleep peacefully and not worry about random things at 5AM!

It seems like he might have other issues…
