A neighbor does not need to throw wild parties or park a monster truck across the sidewalk to become annoying. Sometimes, the neighborhood nuisance comes from much smaller habits, such as letting the dog bark for hours, mowing the lawn at an ungodly hour, or treating the property line like a vague suggestion.
The tricky part involves how easy these habits become to overlook when they happen at home. A homeowner may see a few toys scattered across the yard, while the neighbor sees an outdoor obstacle course that has remained there for three weeks. A pet owner may hear a little barking, while the person next door hears the same alarm system with fur for half the afternoon.
