They appear to be petty people who can't handle it when someone doesn't knuckle under or join them in their petty behavior.

So, they're from schoolyard cliques, bullies who never matured into adults.

I was one of the mercilessly bullied, learned to stand on my own. It makes one stronger.

Same here, wore hand me down clothes with clothes we pulled from dumpster diving that didn't fit and had buck teeth. Never allowed to attend any after school programs and held a job since I was 10. There is layers upon layers of hardening in me to get through.

The irony of him saying in the review "are we still in HS?" is sending me. 😂 idk bro, but you are sure acting like you never graduated.
Makes you question your own sanity and if you are in the right or wrong after so much of it. As in, is it me who is in the wrong or them.
This is telling. Once you stop self reflecting on your own behavior and actions, you're in trouble. But here you are, still evaluating despite the "obvious-ness" of it👍

Yeah I could have fixed the issue, but when you fly off the handle on me not just this time, but multiple times, yeah I’m going to tell you to F off. Cause this is me.

A rabbit enters the garden to feed.
He eats the growth he did not plant.
He takes what he can.
When confronted, he does not fight.
He freezes. Or he runs.
There are men who live by the same nature.
They enter the arena not to compete, but to take.
Passive aggression. Projection. Shame.
They nip at the heels of those who are building, then claim moral superiority when they are ignored.
A grazer is not an enemy. He is vermin.
He has no plan. He has no capacity.
He has only his hunger for your attention.
Do not chase him.
Let him run.

Beware the man who weaponizes his morality.
He cannot out-fight you, so he attempts to out-shame you.
He calls your strength "arrogant."
He calls your discipline "narcissist."
He calls your victory "privilege."
He frames his inability to act as a moral choice.
"I am harmless because I am good."
No. You are harmless because you are weak.
A rabbit is not "virtuous" because it doesn't eat the wolf.
It is just a rabbit.

Great quote. We have lived in two of them. We decided to ignore them - easy to do since our lives were busy and full and they were unimportant to us. Luckily those neighbors moved on while we stayed. The possibility of bad neighbors is why I never want to live in a neighborhood (subdivision).
There are lots of places where the neighbors are nasty. Too bad they don't have to be identified on the listing as a hazard lie flood plains, etc.

Supposed to go wrench today, but I think I will work on the house and then go wrench. I feel better if I can get something of mine done then go make pocket change. After all, we weren't supposed to have this weather. If I can get the house pad in before May then I can have walls and roof up by July.
