11. The smoke from your barbecue
The smoke from your barbecue that wafts into their open windows will instantly annoy your neighbors… You can’t control the wind, we know that! But you should avoid having a barbecue in the garden as long as it bothers the ones around. No one would like to feel the smoke inside their house. Also, no one would like to enjoy the smell but not be invited to the party that is taking place. So, if you want to be part of a beautiful community you should respect these unwritten rules.
12. Your house’s paint
Avoid painting your house in uncommon colors. It will make your neighbors hate you immediately. However, you better avoid doing anything that can be seen as inappropriate. If you are not feeling inspired enough, ask people at the paint store to help you choose the best color and shade. Your neighbors will observe and admire your effort to blend in.
