'Just a matter of time before he'll have to explain': Neighbor doubles down on overreaction

These people have a great plan to deal with a not-so-nice neighbor. No matter where you grew up, chances are you've encountered a neighbor like the guy in this story. He seems a bit cranky, overreactive, and anti-social. You can try as hard as you want to be nice to this neighbor, but it won't matter much. Some people just want to be left alone all the time.

This is the kind of neighbor who yells at kids who are playing in their own backyards, or calls their parents to complain that they're skateboarding around the neighborhood. They love to make the biggest mountains out of the smallest of molehills. When they act this way, some folks try to just be extra kind. There are lots of trials and tribulations that can cause someone to become angry at the world, but sometimes they just need a little kindness to start acting normally again.

Others do not want to be contacted ever. No amount of fresh-baked cookies or invitations to dinner can break through to them. Well, to each their own. And the OP of this story is going about things in the perfect way after an encounter with a neighbor like that.

After you check out this story of neighborly pettiness, read about the final straw moments that led people to quit their jobs on the spot.
