  • Especially in a neighborhood. I used to live in this one apartment that had the worst other residents. Like, don’t blast your music in the middle of the night? Don’t smoke indoors. Don’t burn the building down. Take out your trash, ever. And don’t use a subwoofer, I cannot believe the amount of people who think this is okay EVER, or in the middle of the night. It wasn’t a small building, too. Using a sub for hours in the middle of the night had to have ruined like a hundred different people’s sleep.


  • 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?
