Default Why so many "my neighbor sucks" posts lately?

....and not just here; they're showing up in the garden groups too.

Best regards,

Because it's warmer weather, things are growing and need tending
(whether they get the attention or not is another story), people are
outside more and the heat makes people irritable.

Certain crime rates go up when the temperature goes up too. People sit
outside, get drunk start fight, beat up and kill each other.

I believe that. It's 100 degrees where I am right now, and neighbors and
their kids are testy at the moment and yelling at each other.
Personally, I'm hiding in the house, with the air conditioning on. :-)

It's because so many neighbors really do suck. Well, not literally, because
if that was the case, a lot of people wouldn't even bother to write in about
it, and the rest would be busy doing the deed.

Because most people don't live near me. If everyone lived near me they
would be posting "My neighbor is the greatest neighbor ever..."

As a starter of one of those threads I would like to opine on this also.

It seems we have lost our abilities to communicate with each other
these days. Americans spend more time watching TV, playing computer
games, surfing the Internet for smut, talking on cell phones, posting
to Usenet, installing privacy fences, and basically putting some sort
of device in between direct contact with other individuals. When faced
with the position of actually having to make direct contact in
resolving differences we become tongue-tied or frustrated at our
inability to either make ourselves understood or manipulate the other
person into what we want them to be. In other words, we have lost our
ability to socialize with others and that has made our worlds so much
smaller. We tend to react to others stepping on our toes way too
quickly rather than dealing with it in a thoughtful, mature way.

Because State Farm isn't there.
