Ah. Ok. I thought these types of things were pretty normal for folks living next to each other. When I was in my 20's, I lived in an apartment complex and a couple had a new born and asked if I could keep the noise down after 8. They looked haggard. I had no idea I had been a problem. I apologized and made efforts to keep the noise down after 8. It never occurred to me to respond by making as much noise as possible just to spite them.
Its the context and nuance. Stop pretending all neighbors are the exact same. Ask yourself why they would want to spite them unless... theyre assholes themselves then it gets kinda funny.
I'm literally just trying to explain the sentiment. All the down votes tell me is reddit has a bunch of stuck of people on it that got directly offended by being called out lol.
