Who's side are you on?
Most of us have neighbours - whether we know them or not, are best friends or just civil.
It's usually better for everyone if people consider those living nearby them - after all who wants constant arguments?

On the 'Am I the A**hole' forum, she asks if she's in the wrong with her morning routine.
She explains how she works early, and lives in an area of the US where it's cold and snows a bit.
So, each morning between 6:20-6:30am, she gets up and starts her car - to warm it up, and maybe to clear snow.
Fine, right?
Well, while doing this she also leaves her headlights on, for the full 10 minutes.
And her headlights happen to point directly at her new neighbour's house.

Her response was that it's only the living room they shine on, so " is it really that big of a deal?" for just 10 minutes.
To this, he said sometimes he falls asleep there and forgets to close the blinds so he gets woken up.
The woman explains how the neighbours are new to the area, and she never was approached about it before.
Response.
But it seems the people of the internet aren't feeling sorry for her, and think she should just not have her lights on - simple fix?
"It's only 10 minutes of light" ... It's only 1 second for you to turn your lights off, and 1 second in the morning to turn them back on.
It doesn't matter that it's NEW neighbours. They complained. You can solve it. I'm sure you can afford to add 1 second in your strict morning routine," one person said.
Another commented, "just turn the lights off at night. Do you really want to be that annoying neighbour?"
Suffice to say she was branded "the a**hole" in this scenario by majority votes on the forum.
