Great Moments in Neighbor Relations
1) A college neighbor playing Cher's Believe at full volume for an entire day in retaliation for our apartment making noise early one morning.
2) Our family owned a low-rent apartment complex in Pocatello, Idaho for a while. The apartments were built in a U-shaped layout, and some of the units faced each other. Two families in facing apartments were in the middle of a years long feud and would sometimes hurl insults back and forth across the parking lot.
One day one of the families had affixed a note to the other's living room window, with the query "Why are you the worst mother in the world?"
3) My parents moved into an apartment complex that advertised first month free with no lease. (We ended living there for 60 days, but that's beside the point.) At the time we were very poor and, literally, eating beans for every meal, and tempers were quite frayed. The neighbors beneath us would sometimes call the superintendent and complain that we were "dropping shoes".
One day as we sat down to Taco Bell factory surplus beans, we scooted our chairs and the neighbor below started banging on the roof with a broom end. Without missing a beat, my dad stomped furiously on the floor like Fred Astair meets Andre the Giant, stormed down the stairs and pounded their door so hard he broke a hole in it.
The neighbors moved out the next week.

Recently my parents got a letter in the mail from our former neighbors in West Jordan.
Side note, my mom was really freaked out that it was so easy to find her almost 20 years later. Yes, you read that right. My mom is the most wired 52 year old woman you can meet and she's freaked out by the fact that someone found her address on the internets.
Anyway, she told me that these neighbors told them that if the curtains were shut it meant they were having sex. So whenever the curtains would shut in the early evenings or on the weekends my parents would send me and my sister over to knock on the door.
