Why do people start problems with their neighbors for no reason?

Are they bored? Malicious? Vindictive? Stupid?

Maybe it’s all of the above…

But one thing is for sure: it usually doesn’t end well for them!

Read on and see what happened this time around…

I forced my bad neighbors into an unwanted move.

“I got my very first apartment at the ripe age of 26.

I was fortunate enough to be able to afford one without roommates. I was a model tenant: paid my rent on time every month, polite to the office workers, never caused trouble.

I lived on the top floor of a 3 story building.

Well, 2 years after I moved in, I had new neighbors move into the apartment below me.

I was working a swing shift so my hours were 3pm-11pm, and I often stayed up late to 3am to do minor chores: dishes, cooking, cleaning (but not vacuuming).

I also had two cats at the time.

It didn’t go well…

My new neighbors immediately went on the warpath against me.

I could not make any noise without them banging on my floor. I unloaded my dishwasher at 11 am on a Sunday and they flipped out.

They complained to the office about my “herd of animals”.

They sent police to my door at 9pm because I was watching tv (at a reasonable volume with the subtitles on.)

Good grief!

I literally could not make any sound without them complaining.

It culminated in one of them pounding on my door for 10 minutes after I dared call the office to express my frustration.

So I called the office back.

Told them that I did not feel safe in my apartment due to my neighbors actions (legal grounds for me to break my lease).

But then I dropped my bombshell.

They started it!

My neighbors had 4 people in a 1 bedroom apartment that had a 2 person max capacity.

Apartment management told my neighbors they had to move into a more expensive 2 bedroom apartment or their lease would be terminated.

They moved to the larger apartment on the other side of the complex.

My new neighbors were great. 2 adult men who smoked weed on the balcony.

Never even spoke to them. Loved ’em.”
