At what point does a person’s need for routine become more important than consideration for those around them?

If those dishes do not …

Newborn mom complains neighbor’s dog wakes up her baby, she refuses to apologize for dog’s occasional barking: ‘I can hear her baby crying through the walls quite often’
Extra noise is one of the most contentious issues that comes from living in an apartment. How quiet and/or tolerant your neighbors are when you have this kind of home often feels like the luck of the draw. The last building I lived in, we never had any issues, even if we had multiple people …

Employee considers confronting coworker who burps every 15 minutes: ‘She does always say excuse me after but it’s just a bit nasty.’
That’s pretty annoying, but it’s not like she should confront her about it. One of my good friends burps a lot. She is not coy about her burping, unlike most people. She burps loudly, with her mouth wide open, and she does not apologize or excuse herself for the act. She consumes more Monster Energy …

A fitness trainer’s young daughter walks in at the end of her mom’s shift to tell her it’s time to go. Before she can reach the office, a regular gym member swoops in to play hero of the dumbest kind. He blocks the girl’s path and starts parroting the age restriction policy like it’s national …

Entitled neighbors complain about young couple’s household noise, demand they respect their 6PM bedtime: ‘He threatened to wake us at 4AM’
Neighbors are probably one of the most important parts of house hunting that the average renter or buyer usually doesn’t get to take into account before they move in.

Do you have a plan to get guests to leave your place when you feel it is time to call it a night? Because if you don’t, maybe it’s time you come up with one. Take it from someone who used to have friends over a lot; coming up with subtle yet effective ways to …

Entitled driver refuses to stop making noise with car, faces payback when next door neighbor decides to move his fire pit: ‘I’ll do what I want in my own yard’
Just like with family, you can’t choose your neighbors (at least, that is the case with most places). When moving someplace new or having a house or apartment near you change the occupancy, it’s often a case of praying the people who live near you are decent and hoping for the best. Otherwise great living …

Disrespectful sister makes copious noise and invites friends over while her night-shift working sister is asleep while being a guest in her home: ‘I told her she needs to find somewhere else to stay’
I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to work the night shift. When I first applied to jobs out of college, I thought it would be cool to work from 3 PM to 11 PM, go to the bar after work, and have a beautiful morning to myself every weekday. Now, I realize how …

I’ll be the first to admit it: as somebody whose job requires little more than a laptop, a phone, and the world-weary cynicism of somebody who has spent too much time on the internet, I have frequently worked in places that many would not consider workplaces. From trains to cafes, to particularly quiet bars, I …
