    How about instead of bitching online and wanting to try to get their neighbor in trouble, Karen grows a pair and goes and has a civil conversation with the neighbor. If they are as friendly as stated, that would be the adult thing to do.

      It brings up the question of environmental conventions.

      Like imagine you lived in one place in the world, then moved to another. Certain expectations of behavior would almost certainly be super different.

      Let’s say something you do isn’t the norm there, but was the norm where you moved from, and that thing you do bothers other people.

      Whose responsibility is it to act?

      Yours, who has just moved somewhere new and different?

      Or theirs, who are irritated by the behavior or thing?
