Woman Tired Of Her Loud Neighbor Writes A Hilarious Letter To Him And Leaves Him A Cake At 4 AM
359Kviews
As much as many of us wish to have a peaceful place we can call our home, in the 21st century it’s not that easy to find a beautiful, peaceful and comfortable place to stay that is within your budget. So, just like the most of us, people get used to living in loud neighborhoods and buildings with paper thin walls. And even though you might think you got used to it, there are some neighbors that just don’t understand that blasting music at 3 am is not okay. Telling them to turn it down a notch is not an easy task so one woman found the best way to kindly ask her neighbor to turn the music down.
Recently, theologian and writer Candice shared a letter on Twitter that quickly received a lot of attention
Here’s what the letter said
After she posted the letter, Candice tweeted some updates on the situation
But suddenly it seemed like the neighbor did get the memo
And then the two finally met each other!
Now their neighborly friendship has blossomed since both of them have some things in common

What a great way to deal with the situation. She told him the truth, but no meanness, no name-calling, and no assumptions. And look at the response. I love it.
As hard as it may be sometimes, you really do get further with kindness than with hate. People usually respond when they're approached with respect.
Good thing her neighbor is cool. Because I've had douchebags neighbors that don't give a Fk. Even when you approach them and ask NICELY and POLITELY to do/stop doing/change something, and you even give reasons for your petition... they just ignore you and keep acting like jerks.
I think it was the cake that did it.
I think the no assumptions and no judging from her part is a big part of it. I do realize that some people really just are huge assholes and there's no saving them, buuut I also think that *sometimes* even if people are polite they can come across as very aggressive because you can very much tell they are pissed with your very existence and are only trying not to cause a scene, not to be nice. A forced smile and a please filled with daggers can definitely rub off terribly wrong on people depending on their reasons for the original issue (like, for exemple, in the case of this guy, who was not throwing a party but working), since it becomes obvious from the get go that they are not interested in nor willing to discuss - they already think you're 100% in the wrong
