It's the season for scary stories, and this pregnant woman has just the tale to share about her inconsiderate neighbor and his noisy habit!

When you move into your home, you only know what it's like to be there for the small window of time that you've spent viewing the home. It's only once you've moved in all your belongings, and start living there full time, that you begin to discover all the quirks and charms of that new neighborhood. For example, maybe there's an owl that hoots outside your window, or perhaps a neighbor who rides his motorcycle pretty loudly. You might hear the passing traffic, or hear airplanes overhead if you live near an airport. You don't always realize how important your peace and quiet is until it's totally disrupted! And this pregnant woman is completely distressed over her living situation all because there's one neighbor who cannot seem to stop leaf blowing.

When you're pregnant, you need lots of extra rest, and if your neighbor won't give you a moment of peace, you're going to be totally distressed. Having to hear non-stop leaf blowing all day every day would drive anyone up the wall, but especially if you're trying to grow a whole baby inside of you, this is just another layer of stress that you absolutely do not need. I hope that this Mama-to-be manages to talk to her neighbor before the baby arrives. She can't be the only one who's fed up with his antics – if she or her neighbors have doorbell camera footage or video recordings of this constant irritating noise, it could be time to take the matter to the HOA or police.

After that, read about the bride who's questioning if she's in the wrong for insisting a bridesmaid not bring her service dog to the wedding: "We don't want it in photos or the ceremony."
