Unless you live in an ultra-rural area, you're going to hear your neighbors every now and then. A healthy neighborhood is full of lively sounds like lawnmowers, children playing, and the occasional dog bark, but if you have the misfortune of living next door to a yappy yapper pup who won't even take barking breaks to take a sip of water, your nerves can start to fray at the slightest bork. Even a dog lover of the highest order would find this barking pooch insufferable.

When the guy in our next story moved into his neighborhood, he had no idea that the dog next door would be such a problem. Naturally, like with all untrained animals, it's easy to point out the pitfalls of the untamed beast's handler–in this case, an entitled Karen who thought that her Fifi could do no wrong. Even after several complaints about the dog barking at all hours of the night, the man was dismissed by the dog owner when she claimed that "dogs will be dogs".

Okay, Karen. We'll see how you like the sound of 'dogs being dogs' after a nightly wake-up call at 3 AM from your disgruntled neighbor blasting the sweet siren calls of dogs barking through his biggest speaker. After this, here's another story of unruly neighbors.
