This homeowner's story just goes to show that not everyone is going to have the inherent level of decency and responsibility necessary to be a good neighbor. This guy next door clearly should have paid for at least half of the survey that the homeowner had done.

However, actions have consequences, and if this guy was going to demonstrate a total lack of respect in his continued refusal to apologize, then he was ostensible forgoing the need for the homeowner to extend a level of respect back.
