Side effects of a bad neighbour The meaning of the proverb "*Buy a house, buy a neighbour*" is to emphasize the importance of good neighbours. When the neighbours in the immediate vicinity of the purchased house consist of good people, the pleasure of life in the house increases, and when they are bad, they somehow have a negative effect on your life in the house. Neighbours are also very important in our culture and belief. The Prophet's saying "*It is not one of us who is full while his neighbour is hungry*" also emphasises the importance of neighbourhood. However, if you compromise as much as you want, try to get along as much as you want, you have no chance to meet at a common point when there is someone who lacks understanding and whose empathy ability has never developed. For years, I have been washing my private car in front of my house with a hose assembly installed in my garden and my car washing apparatus. Until 1 year ago, I was subjected to the unsympathetic approach of the people who bought my building across the street and became my neighbours. The 2 vehicles they keep parked almost 24/7 are constantly blocking half of the road. The fact that they are directly opposite my house and entrance door prevents me from parking my own vehicle in front of my house, even for a few minutes. I cannot wash my car where I have washed my car for years, I cannot unload and load the goods I have to carry in front of my house. I use the automatic car washes at petrol stations to wash my car. I didn't have much of a problem with this, until I saw that the price at the automatic washes had suddenly increased by 300%. With a 2 Turkish Lira token, I used to wash my car first with foam and then with pressurised water for a total of 4 Turkish Lira. Now a single token costs 6 Lira and since 2 tokens are required, the total is 12 Lira. In the dry season of summer, I have to wash the vehicle frequently due to the extra dust. The cost, which seems simple and cheap in appearance, increases considerably on a monthly/yearly basis when the total cost is considered. The country that seems expensive to us is quite cheap to foreigners due to the rise in exchange rates. Even pre-pandemic records are broken in the tourism sector. Due to the situation caused by a bad and unsympathetic neighbour, I am faced with an additional budget such as my monthly car wash costs. Which is quite funny!

You need to let them know that they are blocking your way instead of adding unnecessary expenses to your budget.
It is not easy to communicate with everyone. No matter how hard you try, they do not want to have a dialogue and are far from understanding.
I agree with Prisca20, you should talk somehow with your neighbors, we know that many times it is something complex, but there is a saying that says "talking people understand each other", if they do not know that it bothers you, then there is no way to solve it, sometimes you have to explain obvious things. Where my parents live is a place full of harmony, but recently a new neighbor has moved in, he plays loud music, drives his car very fast through the street and has two very dangerous dogs that have already bitten several people and other pets, and even though we have tried to talk to them in a good way, they are not good, they are bad, aggressive and insult you, so it is sad that we cannot change that, where my parents live now there are only adults who like silence and calm and these neighbors have arrived to destroy their lives.
It is not easy to communicate with people whose dialogue window is closed. No matter how much I want to, they have to be ready for dialogue and be able to think objectively. People who are far from that!
Why not inform tbier your right, so that you aleast save a penny automatic carwash
It is also forbidden to wash cars on the road, then the complaints will be mutual and there will be no winners! :D
Who is your neighbor? Let me send this article to them so that you can save cost from car wash. Or maybe I will pray for the souls of your neighbor to have sympathy.
The second option seems more plausible. I don't think they will have the understanding and capacity to understand you. Thanks anyway :))
Some neighbors give us hard time my friend. Sometimes they do the things intentionally. Based on my experiences too my friend.
Yeah, sometimes I think they do everything on purpose.
Yes my friend that's true. They did it on purpose.
Oh my God annoying neighbors are really spoiling life, and believe it or not yesterday there was a big quarrel between the neighbors due to a disagreement over where to park the cars. It is a pity to have neighbors who are not understanding and sometimes even rude
I believe, I know that simple arguments can lead to big fights, and I don't want it to go on too long, so I resort to other means.
