When You’re The Bad Neighbor
When u/Robwaudby asked Reddit to share the most annoying thing they’ve ever done to an annoying neighbor, he got thousands of responses. Reasonable folks try to talk it out before drafting up the blueprints for revenge, but when u/phoenity took that first step, they found their complaints fell on deaf ears.
We weren’t using an idiom to try to sound wise this time. u/phoenity was on their way to complain to actual deaf people about the noise they weren’t aware they were making. Thankfully, it all worked out in the end, and everyone walked away unscathed, aside from the minor embarrassment.
