Resident refuses to let neighbors drive on their private road, then gets a call from district official telling them ‘it’s not nice' to deny access: ‘I'm not obligated to be nice’

Surely we've all had that inner conflict between being kind to others and being true to ourselves, and it's hard to find the right balance between the two. On one hand, you want to do good and help other people however you can, while on the other hand, that help can come with a price, a price that you might not feel ready to pay.

The couple in this story bought a secluded house because they wanted as much privacy as they could get, and they were pretty happy about their purchase. That was until they learned their neighbors had been using their private road to drive around the neighborhood, a road they paid a lot of money for. While they could be nice neighbors and let others use that road, they wanted to keep their privacy, so they told their neighbors to stay out. This led to an interesting conversation with a district official who reprimanded them for their unfriendly behavior.
