Do your neighbors and you get along?
My neighbor is not talking because I told her not to get on my driveway with a ladder to cut her shrubs which are on her land but bordering my property. I found out I was liable if she were to fall. Now she won't talk--and has been leaving her cigarette butts on my driveway. I throw them back.
Frankly, I am glad she is not talking because she's a negative person and only complained about everything. Now I don't have to listen to her every complaint. :) Sad but true.
