Am I in the wrong for getting upset with my neighbor who was weed whacking at 9 am on a Saturday? Should I apologize for being rude? I found this was obnoxious and inconsiderate, considering I work very late on weekends.

Am I in the wrong for getting upset with my neighbor who was weed whacking at 9 am on a Saturday? Should I apologize for being rude? I found this was obnoxious and inconsiderate, considering I work very late on weekends.

So, let’s see if I understand your position.

You expect your neighbor, who may or may not even be aware of your schedule, to do chores at a time that is convenient to you, based on the schedule that he might not even know, rather than at a time that is convenient to him, that is, on a Saturday morning when he’s not at work and before it’s gotten too hot. Moreover, when he failed to comply with this unreasonable expectation that you hadn’t even bothered to inform him of, you were rude to him.

Yeah, you’re absolutely in the wrong. If you don’t want to listen to your neighbor working on his yard while you’re trying to sleep, you’re welcome to invest in a good pair of earbuds.

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?
