"Love thy neighbor," the famous proverb says. Yet, according to a 2023 LendingTree survey, 24% of Americans say they dislike at least one of their neighbors. It turns out that sometimes, loving them can be really difficult. Especially if they're a thundering pain in the rear who leaves you passive-aggressive notes.

But, for the rest of us, here are some relatable pics of neighbors making ridiculous demands and leaving notes so petty they get inducted into the passive-aggressive hall of fame.

#43 Early Morning Shifts Bugs Neighbors
I live in a semi retirement community with my Dad, this letter was left on the window of my work van. I have to be at work most days at 4:45 am. Kind of creepy they left this on my work van knowing there’s two vans that look identical next to each other.

#44 Well This Is Embarrassing
So I'm going to be sending them some 38db ear plugs, gift wrapped by Amazon, with a note: I'm so sorry! I'm working on it but it will be May or June before I can get a sleep study and then maybe a c-pap machine or something. I hope these will help in the meantime. Here's my phone number to text me if you run out.
Too nice?
When they first moved in, I could hear her screaming, "STOP IT! I HATE YOU! GET AWAY FROM ME! I HATE YOU!" And similar things to... someone? I could only hear one person though. I never heard anything (other than their closet door because it butts up against mine) or had any complaints from the previous neighbors. I came close to having a wellness check done a couple of times but then it would stop. I haven't heard them screaming in a while.

#45 Drama In The Building Last Week
Call me crazy, but 8a or 9a is a perfectly reasonable time for people to move about in their living spaces. The first sign went up and I saw it and laughed. The next day, the response came. The third day, the response was taken down. I currently live in small town midwest USA, passive aggression is what this town does best.
