Scathing letter to neighbour sparks fury online – whose side are you on?
- Replies 13
The dreaded annoying neighbour is a problem that almost everyone, and especially renters, has had to deal with at some point in their lives.
When you spend a lot of time living close to another person or family, there will be quite a few instances where you find yourselves disagreeing with one another.
And more often than not, those disagreements can get quite heated…
Whether it's about too much noise, people parking in your spot, or weird smells coming into your home, it can be a pain to solve these small but annoying problems.
Such is the case for these two Aussie neighbours, whose minor late-night dispute has resulted in one of them sending a curse-laden, handwritten letter.

A resident who was only trying to better themselves by listening to self-help podcasts has ended up on the receiving end of a furious letter from their fed-up next-door neighbour.
Both of them are residents of a complex in Mosman Park, southwest of Perth's central business district.
The complainant was apparently already fed up with his neighbour's late-night self-help podcast listening sessions, so he proceeded to write a 'scathing' letter to get the other person to stop.
'Just a tip. Don't play your personal growth videos at a max volume all night, you inconsiderate f***wit,' said the letter, which was written using a green highlighter.
Not long after, the subject of the complaint responded with a message of their own.
On the opposite side of the same paper used, they apologised for bothering the neighbour and went on to explain their side.
'Sincere apologies if my podcast bothered you. I'll adjust the volume and placement of the speaker,' they wrote. 'It was not anywhere near max volume but appreciate the sound must travel, and I'm sorry it disturbed you.'
After saying they were sorry, they proceeded to call out the person who sent the letter for using aggressive language just to get their point across.
'I also have a tip that swearing at your neighbours isn't very nice or considerate either. Simply bringing an issue to their attention is quite enough. Peace and love XOXO.'

Photos of the heated exchange between the two neighbours were shared on the Facebook page The Bell Tower Times, where it attracted the attention of both homeowners and renters.
Unsurprisingly, many of them agreed with the person who got the nasty letter and commended them for 'taking the high road' and being kind and patient to the person who wrote it.
In the comments section, several users poked fun at the complainant, with one of them saying he was the one who needed to listen to some personal growth podcast.
A second person pointed out that the exchange is full of 'scorching passive aggression', while a fourth asked, 'How hard is it to be polite?'
Others, meanwhile, said that the problem could have been solved much faster if the two of them had gone to talk to each other. 'Remember when you would actually speak to your neighbours?' one user said.
What about you, folks? Considering the perspective of the complainant and the person receiving the letter, what would you do if you were in their position? Let us know in the comments!
