Quick question: if you live out in the countryside and the closest other residence to you is like a kilometer away

But if you live in the city, is someone who lives of that same distance still your neighbor?

I've never really had problems with neighbours amongst all of the houses

my family has moved to as I was growing up.

and while some have been kinda sketchy and suspicious,

they kept to themselves and didn't really bother us.

It was only when I moved out over a year ago that problems have risen.

Her name is Nala, and having a dog in a building is way different than having a dog in a detached house

where your neighbours aren't in such close proximity.

When my roommates and I first moved in and we had to go out to eat and such,

we'd always just leave Nala out in the open within our suite

because she's quite behaved, and that's what we always did with her

despite being the little (cute) pupper that she is,

likes to play guard dog and tends to bark at any sounds that she may find threatening.

Now, this wasn't really a problem back at my family's house because

my neighbours were spaced out far enough that they couldn't hear

her going ape-shit over a knock on the door.

But I forgot this factor when I moved into my new place.

One time, my roommate went skateboarding,

and ate shit because A PEBBLE decided that he was going to have a bad night.

"Dude, we gotta go to the hospital. That's gonna get infected for sure."

In the rush, we left Nala behind as usual.

And this was around 1:00am when most people are asleep.

He gets patched up at the hospital, and we head back home.

The next day, I get a call from the building manager to meet at her office.

*childish voice* "Oooh! Dom's in trouble!"

I get there, and she tells me the neighbours filed a noise complaint about my dog.

Apparently, Nala was barking at the door for most of the duration

I guess someone called security to my unit,

and when they came to my door and knocked,

no one was there to answer and only triggered Nala to bark even louder.

And it wasn't even just the next-door neighbours

but the people from the floor above complained as well.

I explained the situation and apologized.

She was very understanding and cut us some slack

because we were still new to the building.

I always have to lock up Nala in my room before we leave the condo.

She still barks, but the concrete walls are definitely

A month or two later, i decided to get a tv for my room and mount it on the wall.

Right beside the failed attempt of a shelf that the previous resident made.

I don't know if you guys have ever tried drilling into concrete, (Unfortunely, yes)

and I wanna believe that I was using the right tools

The first time I attempted it, it was pretty late in the day...

Okay it wasn't even daytime, it was 9:00 pm.

Now to an night owl, 9:00 pm is pretty much still like

I was aware that some people might be getting ready to head to bed,

but I thought that maybe I can test out the drill

and see if I can do it quick enough that my neighbours

I attempted it. And this is my best impression of a drill-

NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING

NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING

NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING NING

And I was like: "YEP. OKAY, that's- that's pretty loud. UHHhh...

So I stopped and thought "I'll just try again tommorrow."

and he told me that someone complained about the drilling.

I said "I'm very sorry Sir, I understand and realize my mistake,

I've already stopped it won't happen again."

And for some reason he didn't think I got it- like I was gonna attempt it again once he left.

Or maybe he wanted to make the best of his time
