Please, don't be an annoying neighbor because these things will happen to you. Sooner or later, you'll find someone who's petty enough to plot revenge against you, and it won't be pretty.

It doesn't take much to be considerate of other people, does it? It's always best to ask yourself, 'If my neighbor did this, would I be upset?' If the answer is yes, don't do it; it's that simple!
