A Family's War With Their Neighbor Over A Snow Fence Goes Viral
"Looks Like We Have a Karen as a Neighbor"
Having a good relationship with your neighbors can offer many benefits. For example, you can ask them to watch your dog while you're out or have someone to chat with while enjoying your coffee.
However, sometimes neighbors may not be interested in maintaining a friendly relationship and may only care about their own well-being, even to the point of bothering you. It is difficult to determine how long someone can tolerate bad neighbors, as it can depend on the severity of the situation and the individual's personal tolerance level.
Some people may be more patient and able to tolerate difficult neighbors for a longer period, while others may not be able to endure the situation for very long. It is important to try to address any issues with your neighbors and find a resolution, as living with constant conflict can be very stressful.
