So much for being neighborly!
Regardless of where you have lived in your lifetime, you have likely come across a disgruntled individual in your apartment building or neighborhood who seems to enjoy throwing fits about nearly everything under the sun. These curmudgeons take issue with anything and everything, from random apartment noises that do not seem to bother anyone else to the few rules and regulations established by a property manager or HOA that actually make sense.
Let's just say that, unfortunately for this author, they ended up having two of those unpleasant individuals as their next-door neighbors. This entitled couple had been living in this neighborhood for decades and, in recent years, were starting to get older and were less and less cognizant. So, when this resident started to notice that they had a bad habit of leaving their trash out, the author didn't want to make a fuss out of it. Instead, he took care of the trash on their behalf so that no one else would complain.
It seems as if this entitled couple did not notice that there was a Good Samaritan next door, who was willing to help them out time and time again. One day, when the author removed trash for them yet again, the couple decided to accuse them of trespassing. It's like they had an epiphany one moment that someone was doing all this work for them, and for whatever reason, they did not like it. Obviously, most people would be thrilled that someone would be willing to do all this housework for them at no cost. However, for these neighbors, suddenly, there was a problem.
This whole conflict ended up escalating to the point that the HOA got involved. Well, that's technically because of the author, who was tired of being nice. This story just goes to show that there are some folks out there who are incapable of being grateful for the good people in their lives. This couple was so easily aggravated that they were too quick to misjudge the situation at hand. As a result, they ended up with a considerable fine from their HOA. That's what you get, folks!
