One of the neighbors in my apartment building is reasonably quiet in the evenings (I mean, we can all hear eachother at all times because it's a "vintage" building, but such is life), and on weekends or when they have guests there's generally really good salsa/merengue music playing (they are Latino, but I'm not close…

my neighbors downstairs used to be real assholes and then they had a baby and all it does it cry (I hear him right now) and now they are the nicest neighbors.

Fun!!! It's so frustrating when you have shitty neighbors because people are unpredictable as shit, and saying something can either remedy the situation or make it a zillion times worse.

I left a huge gift basket for neighbors that had just moved in, with a nice personal handwritten letter welcoming to the neighborhood. I left it at their door bc they weren't home.

Me: "We are headed out for a few days but I forgot to cancel the paper*, can you just pick it up and I'll grab it from you when I get back?"

My impression of a NIMBY is basically "I hate when people move into and change a neighborhood that I recently moved into and changed! Wah!"

It's not an eloquent impression, but seriously, that'd be like getting mad at a plant for growing after you planted it.

It's funny because my first thought (as I think the non-douchebag kind of homeowner) was "Oh, that'll be nice for people looking to rent. We have such a shortage of quality rentals in town". Because it sucked when we first moved here and didn't want to commit to buying and there were so many horrible rentals. And I do…

This actually made me LOL. WOW the nerve. I have the opposite situation. Just friendly waves and everyone stays the heck out of everyone's business. The downside is I will be dead for weeks before anyone finds me?

My neighbor, who is very nice, has been blasting traditional Mexican music for five hours now. The best is when his dog is barking, he's running some kind of power tool, and his kids are jumping on the trampoline and laughing. They are nice and the kids are super cute, but man, are they loud!

Hm your new neighbor sounds awkward af. It did remind me that I saw a car on my street the other day that was covered in mud/dirt (probably had been on a farm, of which there are plenty near me). Someone had taken the time to write "Your car is dirty, but not as dirty as your wife is with me!" on the bumper. …

Well that's awkward.

Yep.

Nope. My housemate's car was stolen recently.

You just replied to yourself rather than me, so I'm lucky I saw this!

Ok so "in public" sounded weird there? I don't sit alone at home hating women, quietly, shaking my tiny fist and gritting my teeth. I just try not to get too into the mean girl shit I see online.

I don't know what is with Kinja! I refollowed three peeps today because my little ticks were gone!!!

This is a tough one for me because I actually don't like her. Don't like her music, am kind of put off a lot of the time by her politics, think she can be awfully smug and did think ALL of this before she got married.

Good point about Jason — I think because she's a more recognizable face (in a manner of speaking) and an easier target. If there was more hostility toward her over him b/c misogyny, I must have missed it by not seeking out the individual comments to read (internet drama and people getting hysterical over music makes…

I did not! (Runs off to Google, sees gorgeous picture of naked Amanda with baby bump.)

"Mrs. Bennett, am I right?"
