Am I in the wrong for getting upset with my neighbor who was weed whacking at 9 am on a Saturday? Should I apologize for being rude? I found this was obnoxious and inconsiderate, considering I work very late on weekends.

Am I in the wrong for getting upset with my neighbor who was weed whacking at 9 am on a Saturday? Should I apologize for being rude? I found this was obnoxious and inconsiderate, considering I work very late on weekends.

So, let’s see if I understand your position.

You expect your neighbor, who may or may not even be aware of your schedule, to do chores at a time that is convenient to you, based on the schedule that he might not even know, rather than at a time that is convenient to him, that is, on a Saturday morning when he’s not at work and before it’s gotten too hot. Moreover, when he failed to comply with this unreasonable expectation that you hadn’t even bothered to inform him of, you were rude to him.

Yeah, you’re absolutely in the wrong. If you don’t want to listen to your neighbor working on his yard while you’re trying to sleep, you’re welcome to invest in a good pair of earbuds.

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?
