I guess I'm trapped in the middle of the world's worst neighborhood love triangle...

When we bought our first house, I wanted to be friendly but also keep my distance. I messed up and actually got to know a few people. Now in our small group of friends, two of my neighbors are in a massive beef. Both of them constantly try to be exclusively my friend, trapping me in the middle like some kind of unwilling reality star. One particular neighbor does not understand boundaries at all. I have told her no repeatedly on simple things, but she just keeps pushing whatever fresh boundary I set up. She is not even my direct neighbor and she is completely up in my business all the time. I am over it and I feel completely jaded. When we move, can we just choose not to make friends with the neighbors? #NeighborDrama #BoundaryIssues #HomeownerLife #Regret #Home

You won't believe the note my neighbor left on my car 😬 It's on a public street!

I've been home sick in bed, feeling terrible, but I finally had to drag myself out to grab some meds and fluids. It's been a nightmare finding parking lately with all the construction around our houses. I literally found the ONLY open spot within blocks on our public street. I come back to my car, and some "neighbor" left this note on my windshield. Seriously? They want me to move my car from a public street, no assigned parking, because they need two spots for themselves and a friend. Come on. #NeighborDrama #Neighborhoods #Cars #ParkingProblems

Neighbor’s Decorations in Front of My Door

Hey guys, I just moved into a beautiful old apartment building. One tenant decorated the hall with plants and mirrors — super cute — but now he’s added a massive statue and a broken clock that chimes at random hours. Door #2 is actually my second entrance, which opens straight into my bedroom. The statue’s wing blocks part of the way, and the clock keeps going off at weird times. I don’t want to cause drama, but would it be unreasonable to ask him to move just the statue and clock? The plants and chair are fine — honestly, they make the place look nice. #NeighborProblems #NeighborDrama #NeedHelp

Just found out our breaker has been powering neighbor’s garage for decades. Landlord nextdoor says it’s not their problem. What now?

We bought half of a 100-year-old duplex last year. Everything was great until about two months after moving in, when I noticed a few breakers in our panel didn’t power anything in our unit. I flipped them off. And our neighbors showed up wondering why their garage had no electricity. Turns out, one of their breakers is in our panel and has been powering their garage for who knows how many years Even worse, their wiring is undersized for the breaker, so it’s not even safe. Thankfully the tenants only use it for the garage door and charging a leaf blower battery. So, at that moment, and not to brag, I generously left it on while I texted their landlord. No response. Today they finally replied after I brought it up again. They said they were told it’s been like this for so long that they don’t have to change it, and that she doesn’t have the money right now. Basically, she’s fine with us continuing to supply their power indefinitely. I’d like to keep a good relationship with the neighbors, but this has got to be total bullshit, right? It just feels wrong and potentially dangerous. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? #HomeOwnership #ElectricianLife #DuplexLiving #LandlordIssues #NeighborDrama #NeighborProblems #Home
