You don’t need to be best friends with your neighbor. In fact, you don’t need to be friends at all. But nevertheless, while living in a community with others, we still have to get along on preferably as good terms as possible, because it’s easier and makes us all many times happier.

The truth is, this is not exactly what happens all the time. We often hear stories about neighbors that range from slightly weird, fun, quirky to notoriously difficult.

This parody Twitter account “Messed Up Nextdoor” is dedicated to sharing precisely such cases, when people who live right next to us never cease to surprise us.

In the Karen’s defense, who’s first thought would be, ‘Well look at that! A chicken must be on the loose and that person must be luring them with Kale!’ No, I’d be like who is on my property? Although I am glad to hear Zelda is safe.

You have to completely ignore them and possibly even swear at them.

While you don’t need to be BFFs with your neighbor, it doesn’t mean you should be enemies. Quite on the contrary, being on good and friendly terms with the people next door is something we should all take care of, no matter how sometimes challenging it may be.

At the same time, it often happens that we live right next to someone we’d much rather not. And if you have ever been in that situation, you know how nerve-wracking it can be. Whether it’s the loud neighbor with screaming moms, fighting spouses, horn honkers and tire-squealing drivers, loud music fanatics and late-night partiers, or property fanatics with neighbors trimming boundary trees and sending you the bill, the challenge is the same. How do you handle those lunatics?

If you’re already in a situation where avoiding living next to a nasty neighbor is too late, there are a few strategies to think of. First, you may want to call ahead and pick a time to talk with them. Meeting on the sidewalk or on the property line is the safest place. Second, try not be too accusing, instead let them know how much the problem bothers you and try to find a solution that would work for both of you.

If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you....

Also, make sure to do your homework and gather all information about local noise and disturbance ordinances. If you cannot meet the neighbor face to face, another option is writing a personal letter. It’s also smart to talk with other neighbors to see if they have experienced the same nuisance caused by the bad neighbor. If they are unhappy with the situation too, they may be happy to help you in finding a solution.

They should just change the ‘Are’ to ‘Have’ and it’ll be a learning opportunity

However, if you are on good terms with your neighbor, there's always a practical element that’s beneficial for both of you. When you’re away on vacation and something happens inside your home, you want your neighbor to be the one person to help out and tell you everything including taking care of the house. If you have pets that are especially important.

Sometimes it’s all about being kind for the sake of being kind, but other times we may genuinely develop a friendship with a person next door. If that happens, life just brought a friend living right next to you. And could you ask for more?

Good job they blanked out those usernames, otherwise Besty Bryans and Kellon Crawford might have had their anonymity compromised. They sure dodged a bullet there.

Right? Who calls grocery store employees “the help”? I would think “the help” would do your grocery shopping for you

Of course they won't look for it when you call staff members "the help." And if it's found I hope they fart on it for you.

As much chance of being found as my mate's contact lens he lost while skiing in Colorado last year. Mind you, that didn't stop him getting the rest of us grovelling in the snow for an hour looking

I lost my contact lens at work one day. Looked all over my office, no joy. Had to make an eye patch out of a tissue and tape for my very nearsighted, missing a lens, eye. I found it several days later. Apparently, it slipped to the back of my eye somehow and worked itself free a few days later. I was minding my business, wearing my glasses, when I felt something irritating my eye, and there the thing was. I thought I was hallucinating. The doctor said it happens. Go figure.

If you can't afford fake eyelashes, maybe don't call other people "The Help".

I would totally try to find it - esp if I was already in the store. I can't resist a challenge like that. Once my mom left for work and said 'I lost a contact in the house (very large apt), if you find it I will give you 5$'. No other details known. I found it before she came home. That was back when they were solid and expensive. (She once chased a mugger who grabbed her purse, yelling at him 'just give me my contacts!'.)

If she's somewhere where employees are called "the help", she can afford a pair of false eyelashes.
