It’s sad, but true…

Some people you encounter in life like to cause trouble just for the heck of it.

I like to refer to them as “trolls,” but feel free to call them whatever you want.

One thing’s for sure when it comes to these folks…

They go out of their way to make the lives of other people miserable.

Check out what this guy had to say about the beauties he’s living next to…

How to Live with Disagreeable Neighbors.

“We live in a neighborhood with very mature trees and we have several on our lot and some that overhang into our neighbor’s lot.

These neighbors moved in just a couple years ago and have taken a dislike for our trees (crazy to look at a neighborhood that has mature trees every couple of yards).

They were a problem right off the bat.

The first time we “conversed” with them was after we did some maintenance on said trees, something happened between them and the tree company employee, and they left a note on our door saying they would sue if not resolved. Never talked to them before this, so very nice first impressions right?

We go over, figure out the mountain out of a molehill problem, the tree company takes care of it (we’ve also used this company for a long time and have never had issues with neighbors prior), and we go on with our lives.

We don’t really talk to them much or at all, but the several times we have it always seems to be about some issue that they severely exaggerate. We have had a gardener who they complained about and sent a text to us saying that this gardener has been disrespectful to them several times.

These folks sounds like they enjoy causing trouble.

We ask the gardener and he says he has never talked to the neighbors prior to this confrontation.

At present we need to do maintenance with our trees because there are dead branches. The tree company needs to put a machine behind their property because it cannot be angled any other way.

We need permission and confirmation from neighbors to do so. We leave a note on their door asking them to message us so we can fully explain what’s going on and set a date and time. No answer after a couple days. We realize we have past text messages with the neighbors, so we find that phone number and message.

No reply.

This is deliberate!

Keep in mind, we hear them in their backyard everyday and they walk through their front door on occasion so they could not have missed the note. Obviously the next mode of action is to go over and talk to these people who seem to have some type of hostility, but I’m tired.

It’s so frustrating knowing that these neighbors have no respect for community and would probably bring out the suing card again if we didn’t have permission to cut the dead branch from the tree and it fell into their yard.

Have we not presented the very opportunity to get rid of that problem?

I know that they shouldn’t disturb my peace and the best way it to just ignore, but how do you live with neighbors who seem antisocial and have no sense of actually communicating with us when necessary?”

It actually takes SO MUCH MORE effort to be a jerk and act this way…

So what’s the point?

I’ll never understand it!

These neighbors aren’t very friendly, are they…?
