There are a lot of encouraging and motivational catchphrases that we all know and try to enforce in our everyday lives. 'Be true to yourself', 'Just do it', and 'Seize the day', to name a few. We all know how hard it is to follow some of these inspirational life lessons, to a point where it usually seems impossible. Sometimes, we actually manage to fake it 'till we make it and find ourselves doing exactly what these phrases encourage us to do, and that is a wonderful feeling. Other times, we learn the hard way just how far we are from making those phrases into a reality.

If you ask me, the most challenging motivational catchphrase to follow is none other than 'Love thy neighbor', and this Reddit story is the perfect way to prove my point. How can one love their neighbor when all they do is throw literal trash at your doorstep and refuse to remove it, no matter how much they ask them to?

It seems like loving thy neighbor is a life lesson that the resident here is still far away from, and I can't blame them. Scroll down for the full story to find out why.

    A month ago my neighbour had their trees trimmed, giant spruces. A few days later I took my garbage out and noticed a six-foot pile of brush against my back fence, from the

    Concerned CoC... OP 6h ago She's beside me, she piled it on the strip of my property that is between my yard and the alley. So it does my yard, the fence, the strip of grass where she stored it, and the alley. She is right beside me.

    Concerned CoC... OP 6h ago I'm guessing she didn't want to pay for it. She told two lies when replying to my angry text. I think she thought she could just put it on my property and I'd pay to have hauled away?!

    Concerned CoCCiti... OP 3h ago She said she wanted to use them as Christmas decorations. But we're talking 8' long thick branches. She just wanted to avoid paying to have it taken away and made it my problem.
