“We only have one life and we should live it so that our neighbors are never bored.” It seems that some people take these words seriously and do everything they can to live up to this motto. Otherwise, there is no way to explain what’s going on here! Internet users share their stories about their neighbors and some of them are more scary than they are funny.
Bright Side brings you a compilation of 13 photographs that prove that being a good neighbor is a science that most people will never be good at. And at the end of the article, there’s a bonus about what your neighbors might do, thinking you will never find out.
Being neighbors doesn’t mean being friends.
“My neighbor got his reindeer decorations stolen so they put out Grinch ones instead.”
“My neighbor leaves his trash outside his door (the one that’s slightly open). He won’t throw it out until he overhears complaints.”
“I mowed my elderly neighbor’s lawn. The people on the left of her mowed a day after. I guess I didn’t mow right to the property line. I officially hate these people now.”
“How my dad deals with his neighbor who checks with the city whenever anyone does any work on their property.”
“What should my neighbors listen to today?”
“Neighbor said he’d call the cops on me if I shot fireworks off after 11pm. Challenge accepted!”
“My neighbor does not like my new truck so I told her I would park it out of sight, and blocked it with a tree... Nailed it.”
“Neighbor just tried to throw his Christmas tree from the balcony. Not sure what the ideal landing spot should have been.”
