We seem to say it all the time these days, and now it’s time to say it once again…
What happened to being a good neighbor?!?!
We’re constantly bombarded with stories about awful people with no regard for the folks who live around them, and we’re getting tired of it!
In today’s story, a person talked about a neighbor of theirs who sounds like a real handful.
Check out what they had to say.
Neighbor problems, need suggestions.
“I’m from India. My street is a dead-end road, and most of us clean the portion of the road in front of our own houses.
A few years ago, the owner of the house opposite ours, an elderly woman who lives alone, moved in after her tenants left.
In the beginning, we had a good relationship.
The issue started with how she cleans her property. Every morning, my mother and a few neighbors clean the street.
Yuck!
Later in the day, the lady pours a large amount of water in front of her house and pushes all the mud, leaves, and dirt onto the road.
Since the road slopes toward our house, everything ends up in front of our gate.
My mother politely asked her to use less water, but she continued doing the same thing.
Eventually, they had an argument, and my mother stopped speaking to her.
It’s about to get even dirtier.
Now she’s adding another floor to her house, and the situation has become worse.
She often lets her sump overflow, flooding her compound, and then sweeps the water mixed with cement, sand, and construction debris onto the street.
Again, because of the slope, most of it ends up outside our house.
They’re not the only neighbors who are upset.
She’s also had similar disputes with the neighbor on her left because construction debris kept entering their compound.
My mother no longer argues because it never changes anything, but cleaning up their mess is super frustrating its painful to watch her do this.
What would you do in this situation?”
