A neighbor can smile across the driveway every morning and still make living next door feel like a part-time job. The giveaway often isn’t an argument or an obvious act of hostility. It’s the repeated behavior that says someone’s convenience matters more than everyone else’s comfort.
Bad neighbors don’t always slam doors, shout over fences, or throw wild parties. Sometimes they simply treat shared space as personal territory, ignore reasonable requests, or leave other people to clean up their messes. One irritating incident might mean nothing, but a pattern can reveal a lot about how someone views the people around them.
