Talk about making a bad first impression! This neighbor was on a mission with one objective: to get the new neighbors to decorate ASAP! 

Everyone decorates for the holidays a little differently. Some people do almost nothing: maybe they'll get a Christmas tree and hang up a few decorations, or put up a strand of lights outside and call it a day. Other people go all out! They'll spend hours making elaborate ornaments, preparing cookies to decorate, or filling every single inch of the Christmas tree with baubles and lights. It's often a family tradition that brings everyone together. 

There are quite a few people who just don't decorate at all, though. That's totally fine, too! You can't just force people to decorate their homes to suit your preferences. Like, imagine going over to your next-door neighbor's home, knocking on the door, and informing them that since everyone else decorates for the winter holidays, they'd better do that, too. That's crazy, right? Well, that's exactly what one neighborhood busybody did when she met the new couple on the block. Keep reading to find out what happened next! 

After that, read about the wildest ways that newly hired employees quit their jobs, like one call center rep who quit after just two hours!

    Waifer2016 HAHAHAA i love it! One of my neighbours found a life- size Jack Skellington somewhere (probably online as shopping here s ks lol). Old Jack is decked out in his Santa coat and hat. Very festive. My clever neighbour put him up about a week before Halloween - hey hes a skeleton lol - and kept him

    Split TheNucleus Indian here living in US. We normally put up few lights up for Diwali(a Hindu festival that falls just before/around Halloween). Take them down, and then put up Halloween and Xmas decoration at appropriate time. Because who doesn't like decorating

    One year we had our light up for Diwali, and it was around a month from Halloween, and we get ar de letter from HOA telling us to take our "Xmas decorations" down and not put them up till December! Cue MC, I go in to HOA meeting, tell them they are for Diwali and asking me to take it down can result into discrimination. Gladly most of my neighbours agreed

    Dear_Analysis_5116 Santa (skeleton) being pulled by 8 bats? Tree hung with jack-o-lanterns? Ghosts hanging around the manger that has vampire and werewolf gazing lovingly at baby Itt? HI, toss in some other holidays, too - Easter, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, you get the idea. See if you can make her head asplode.

    Either_Coconut Reminds me of the person who had gotten complaints because they put a large inflatable dragon with (I think) a Santa hat and a Christmas present in its hands on their lawn. Neighbors complained that it was demonic, or some such rubbish, and told her to remove it.

    She added two more such dragons to the lawn. I wanted to know where to get Christmas dragons, because DRAGONS. :)
