The ideal style of relationship with a neighbor is to live side by side, but not interfere with each other's lives. Be like water and oil. To achieve this, it is necessary not only to observe impeccable politeness, but also not to allow aggressors, psychological or physical, into your territory.
Instructions
Step 1
Be clear about your intentions. Neighbors have good hearing and eagle eyesight, but cannot read our minds. Therefore, your intentions - to start repairs, change pipes, celebrate a housewarming party or a birthday - must be announced in advance. Posting a sign next to the elevator on the ground floor is easy. It is even easier to go to the meticulous pensioner from below and dance the padde of a polite neighbor informing about tomorrow's noise. Attention, lack of attention and incomplete awareness are the stumbling blocks in communicating with most neighbors, especially of retirement age.
Step 2
Do not follow the lead of the provocateurs. Brawlers and gossips are a fairly common type of roommate. They offer to collect signatures, write collective letters to the management company, or call the district police officer for a rowdy or the owner of an hourly apartment, and then hide in the bushes. Or, much worse, they begin to build friendships with the "victim." You don't need to feed the vampires with your energy. It is better to end all discussions with polite and indifferent remarks: “Thank you for the information, but I don’t have time for this. I'll think about what can be done."
Step 3
Do not hesitate to contact the police. Many people forget about their civil rights or are afraid of revenge, preferring to endure drunks who relieve themselves of a driveway, a drug store, or a not-so-healthy person who collects garbage or experiments with flammable substances. If a personal conversation with the troublemaker was fruitless, he should be warned about possible sanctions. You just need to remember that all everyday conflicts, as a rule, are mutual. And the use of forceful methods of solving problems should be used only when the diplomatic ones have exhausted themselves.
