People Break Down The Most Annoying Things Their Neighbor Does

People Break Down The Most Annoying Things Their Neighbor Does

Not all neighbors are good ones. Despite what Mr. Rogers would have you believe, sometimes neighbors are rude and completely out of touch with how to live amongst others.

When we live next to those people, it straight up sucks. They produce interesting stories for us to tell other people, but at what cost? Our sanity?

u/anyasianwilldue asked:

What does your neighbor do that annoys you the most?

Here were some of those answers.

Annoying On Both Sides

Well one has a garage door that sounds like a puppy being set on fire which they refuse to oil, one is a street racer boy who's sound system is enough to shake the walls every time he starts the car up, and one parks their harley pretty much directly outside my bedroom window and has a preference for going on rides at midnight.

And y'know the worst part? They're all really nice people so I don't want to have to get on their a**es about it otherwise I'll feel mean

MightySpaceBear

Prying Eyes

They're just always freaking watching us, in a non-creepy but annoying way. They're bored and sit outside facing our house just observing.

Privacy fence and buying a place with decent distance from the neighbors is on my must-have list for the next time we buy.

Just Creating More Noise

It's their damn dog holy crap I've never heard a dog bark so much in my life jesus. I think it's a Bloodhound. It doesn't stop barking.

The friggin owner will yell at the dog and be like stop barking, and all the dam derp does is wag its tail at the owner, while the owner is yelling at it, and continues barking on its merry way.

Jazzlike-Region

Inferiority Complex

They're simply better people. They're always willing to help with anything. The call us in concern when a car pulls up to my house that they don't recognize.

They call to check on us if we have an ambulance show up. They bring little home made chocolates and other treats during the holidays. They're never disruptive in any way. All around, some of the best people I know. I am garbage compared to them and it annoys the hell out of me.

Oh You Just Don't Want Us To Live

Calls the cops every time we have the property sprayed for ticks and mosquitos. It's bad enough that we decided to move.

The new neighbors are suing us to stop us from building our new house.

New neighbors think the new house is too big and they don't like pools. So they tried to stop the zoning board from approving the project and when that failed they filed suit in Land Court. It's been in court for 1 year, and shows no sign of wrapping up. We decided to start construction at risk.

It Was Probably The Explosion

Well, last Christmas he had his whole family over, and that caused a whole world of incidents.

- His cousin emptied his RV's septic tank into a storm drain.

- His uncle then lit a cigar by said storm drain, making it explode.

- He ripped off a part of his house's gutter, which crashed into his other neighbor's house.

- He puts so many lights on his house that I was seeing spots for hours after he turned them on.

- For some reason, a SWAT team raids his house in the middle of the night.

It Takes A Village

We have several annoying neighbors. There is one house that has a whole village inside. There is one elderly person, 3 adults and 4 kids. They blast music. They impatiently honk their car horn early in the morning.

One time the Pre-teen/teenager had a crowd and her in our driveway. They were about to fight another girl! I had to come out and tell them to take it somewhere else, so they went in our hecking yard! I go back out and her mother told me "they aren't in your yard. Mind your business. They are working it out." While the other girls mom yelled " beat the sh*t out of her! I'm tired of her nasty a** giving you lice."

It was so trashy and I had to break it up. I was shocked bc their mothers were probably 15-20 years older than me and was just they sucked.

Noises From The Boys

She has a couple of kids, nothing too young (10 - 14), and the one that shares a wall with mine can get really loud. Sounds like he's slamming into stuff. They're typically pretty polite people, a lot better than some neighbors I've had. The ones below us at the last apartment complex we lived in was horrible.

Walk Away

I post on a lot of my neighbors. Most of them are pretty decent (catsitting for one of them now), but there's one or two who's a little off the rails. I posted on this one neighbor a while back, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life that I will repost it again and again.

He's a Trump supporter, and was mad he lost. He's ranting and raving about how there's fraud, and me, not wanting to get involved, simply said "well, it's going to court." I hoped that'd shut him up, but it only made him reply with the dumbest thing ever to come out of any human beings mouth, "well, what good's that going to do, all these judges, even the Trump appointees, are only going to rule according to the law. Not much good that'll do."

I had to walk away. He and I don't agree on much politically.

The Loudest Music Of All Time

The ones behind us had a LIVE MARIACHI BAND out of nowhere and then they got insulted when I asked what time the band would be done playing so I could put my 10-month-old and two year old to bed.

They frequently (nearly every weekend) blast their music loud enough to be heard over my tv with my windows doors shut and get rude af if I ever ask them to turn it down. The worst is that they stream their music via their phone so I hear every text message they get.


And sometimes they can't decide what they want to listen to so they play about 25-30 seconds of a song at full volume before skipping to the next one, never straying from full volume. Noise complaints to the police don't do much because they just turn it back up later or the next day.

It's so unlivable for me that we sold our house last week because of it & are in escrow for a new house...that very deliberately does not have anyone behind or next to us (a canal on one side and the runoff for the canal behind us)

Grassy Knoll 

He mows his grass twice per week in Summer. He's retired and he probably has nothing else to do.

-ithinkoutloudtoo

Our neighbor mows every three days which was never something I paid much attention to, until I started working from home. I can't even count the number of times he started up the loud leaf blower this fall... I feel like it was once a day.

-peoplecallmeamy

Saddest dog


My neighbors have a very cute white pit bull mix who they leave outside all the time and she's constantly just sitting there staring at us, longing to go on walks and to get pets and to do dog stuff that doesn't involve sitting outside looking sad.

-BarzTheOrange

Green carpet


They hire that landscaping company that makes extensive use of very loud gas-powered leaf blowers to blow every single leaf off her yard like it was meant to be a green carpet.

-AnswerGuy301

Brampton

30 of them live in the same 2500sq ft house with 4 Yukon XL SUVs parked outside and bright led spot lights and pot lights on 24/7. Illegal fires in the backyard, burning tires and furniture, etc. Locking naked kids in their shed in the cold as punishment. Btw this is in BRAMPTON, not the middle of nowhere.

Called bylaw many times (actually u can't call you can only submit things online) and not one time have they responded.

-Slenderjim

Matt if you're reading this stop drilling holes in your wall. It's my wall too and, honestly, I can't believe it's still standing.

Since they moved in

Either the person upstairs is locked in the bathroom, or they are on the same poop schedule as me. Every. single. day. since they moved in.

-radrachelleigh

Never had a formal complaint 

Coughs extremely loudly and obnoxiously while he smokes directly below my bedroom window and immediately outside my kitchen room window. He's also built a tent outside in our parking lot out of blue tarp and lawn chairs and often chills out in it in nothing but his "shorts" (I think they are underwear).

Otherwise, he's a nice enough guy and I've never had a formal complaint for him but I'll be excited to leave it all behind when I move.

-Its402am

Rule breakers 

I live in a townhouse. My neighbour always walks out to his porch and stares EVERY TIME we leave our unit or return home or have someone arrive at our front door. It's creepy and intrusive. He also constantly coughs, spits and horks on his front porch at all hours of the day and night and yells "PEE-PEE!" at his dog (even at 3 am). He liters our driveway with cigarette butts (which is not a shared driveway, he flicks them there from his porch). He calls bylaw on everyone, especially for parking violations that don't impact him, and then blames other people to create infighting with neighbours. Meanwhile, this guy is constantly breaking bylaws.

He has a dog that always barks. They leave it tied outside for long periods of time and have it do its business along our driveway without picking it up. He also spreads fake gossip about everyone in the townhouse development.

His wife is also creepy and one time popped out from a grocery display at the supermarket to intercept us and continued to stalk us around the store as we ducked in and out of aisles to avoid her. And his daughter's boyfriend has a modified exhaust on his car, which he loudly revs at all hours.

People Describe The Creepiest Things They Ever Witnessed As A Kid

"Reddit user -2sweetcaramel- asked: 'What’s the creepiest thing you saw as a kid?'"

For many childhood memories are overrun by living nightmares.

Yes, children are resilient, but that doesn't mean that the things we see as babes don't follow us forever.

The horrors of the world are no stranger to the young.

Redditor -2sweetcaramel- wanted to see who was willing to share about the worst things we've seen as kids, so they asked:

"What’s the creepiest thing you saw as a kid?"

Serious Danger

"Me and my best friend would explore the drainage tunnels under the Vegas area where we grew up. These were miles long and it was always really cool down there so it was a good way to escape the heat of our scorching hot summers. We went into this one that goes under the Fiesta casino and found a camp with a bunch of homeless people."

"Mind you we are like 11 years old lol. And we just kept going like it was nothing. It wasn’t scary then but when I look back at it we could have been in some serious danger. Our parents had no idea we did this or where we were and we had no cellphones. We could have been kidnapped and never have been found."

Waiting for Food

"I was at a portillos once when I was 12 and I was waiting with my little brother at a booth while my parents got our food. This guy was standing with his tray kind of watching me then after a couple of minutes he started to walk over really fast not breaking eye contact with me."

"He was 2 feet from the table and my dad came out of nowhere and scared the s**t out of him. He looked so surprised and just said he wanted to see if I’d get scared or not. He left his tray full of food near the door and left. My folks reported him but we never went to that location again since we found a better one closer to home."

nowhereboy1964

Captain Hobo to the Rescue

"When I was a pretty young teen, my friends and I were horsing around in San Francisco and started hanging out to smoke with some homeless guys. Another homeless dude came up and began aggressively trying to shake us down for anything (money, smokes, a ride, drugs- all of it) and wouldn’t take no for an answer."

"We got in over our heads and could tell this guy was now riling the other 2 guys up and they were acting like they wanted to jump us. Some grandfather-looking old homeless man appeared out of nowhere and yelled at us to get the f**k out of here- nice kids like us don’t belong down here at this hour!!"

"Captain Hobo saved our lives that night. My parents sincerely thought we were at a mall all day lol."

These Tsunami stories are just tragic.

Scared The Launch GIF by CTV Giphy

"We were a group of kids who went to swim in a local lake. And there was a dead body on the beach with their hands raised and their legs bent unnaturally that local police just took out of the same lake. I've never put my foot in these waters again."

Be Clever

"I was walking to school and I was about 5 or 6 years old and some guy pulled up beside me in his car and asked if I would get in. He also offered me sweets to do so. I said no. The creepy bit was when he calmly said ‘clever boy’ to me, then drove off. I’ve never even told my parents or anyone else about this as it would most likely freak them out."

OstneyPiz

Bad Jokes

"Dad's side of the family pranked me by burying a fake body on our back property and had me dig it up to find valuables. Was only allowed to use a lantern for light. They stuffed old clothes with chicken bones. Sheetrock mud where the head was... Random fake jewelry as the treasures... I was like maybe 10 or 11.. I remember digging up the boot first and started gagging because it became real at that point."

Jobs That Seem Easy But Are Actually Incredibly Challenging

Woman stressed at work
Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash

When we hear about other people's jobs, we've surely all done that thing where we make assumptions about the work they do and maybe even judge them for having such an easy or unimportant job.

But some jobs are much harder than they look.

Redditor CeleryLover4U asked:

"What's a job or profession that seems easy but is incredibly challenging?"

Customer Service

"Anything customer-facing. The public is dumb and horrendous."

- gwarrior5

"My go-to explanation is, 'Anyone can do it, but few can do it for long.'"

- Conscious_Camel4830

"The further I get in my corporate career, the less I believe I will ever again be capable of working a public-facing job. I don’t know how I did it in the past. I couldn’t handle it in the present."

"I know people are only getting worse about how they treat workers. It is disturbing, embarrassing, and draining for everyone."

- First-Combination-12

High Stakes

"A pharmacist."

"You face the public. Your mistake can literally kill someone."

- VaeSapiens

"Yes, Pharmacist. So many people think their job is essentially the same as any other kind of retail worker and they just prepare prescriptions written by a doctor without having to know anything about them."

"They are very highly trained in, well, pharmacology; and it's not uncommon for a pharmacist to notice things like potentially dangerous drug interactions that the doctor hadn't."

- Worth_University_884

Teaching Woes

"Two nuggets of wisdom from my mentor teacher when I was younger:"

"'Teaching is the easiest job to do poorly and the hardest job to do well,' and 'You get to choose two of the following three: Friends, family, or being a good teacher. You don't have enough time to do all three.'"

"We all know colleagues or remember teachers who were lazy and chose the easy route, but any teacher who is trying to be a good teacher has probably sacrificed their friends and their sleep for little pay and a stressful work environment. There's a reason something like half quit the profession within the first five years."

- bq87

Creativity Is "Easy"

"Some creative professions, such as designers, are often perceived as 'easy' due to their creative nature. However, they may face the constant need to find inspiration, deal with criticism, and meet deadlines."

- rubberduckyis

"EVERYBODY thinks they are a designer, up until the point of having to do the work. But come critique time, mysteriously, EVERYBODY IS A F**KING DESIGNER AGAIN."

"The most important skill to have as a designer is THICK SKIN."

- whitepepper

Care Fatigue Is Real

"Care work."

"I wish it could be taken for granted that no one thinks it's easy. But unfortunately, many people still see it as an unskilled job and have no idea of the many emotional complexities, or of how much empathy, all the time, is needed to form the sorts of relationships with service users that they really need."

- MangoMatiLemonMelon

Physical Labor Generally Wins

"I’m going to say most types of unskilled labor and that’s because there’s such little (visible) reward and such a huge amount of bulls**t. I’ve done customer service, barista, sales, serving, etc; and it was all much harder than my cushy desk job that actually can be considered life or death."

- anachronistika

Their Memory Banks Must Be Wild

"I don't know if I'd call it incredibly challenging, but being one of those old school taxi drivers who know the city like the back of his hand and can literally just drive wherever being told nothing but an address is pretty impressively skilled."

"Not sure if it's still like this, but British cabbies used to be legendary for this. I'm 40 and I don't think most young people appreciate how much the quality of cab service has gone down since the advent of things like Uber."

"Nowadays it's just kind of expected that a rideshare/cab driver doesn't know exactly where you're trying to get and has to rely on GPS directions that they often f up. Back when I was in college, cabbies were complete experts on their city."

"More even than knowing how to get somewhere, they could also give you advice. You could just generally describe a type of bar/club/business you're looking for, and they'll take you right to one that was spot on. Especially in really big cities like NYC."

- Yak-Mak-5000

Professional Cooking

"Being a chef."

- Canadian_bro7

"I would love to meet the person who thinks being a chef is easy! I cook my own food and it’s not only OK to eat but I make a batch of it so I have some for later. So, to make food that is above good and portion it correctly many times a day and do it consistently with minimal wastage (so they make a profit), strikes me as extremely difficult."

- ChuckDeBongo

Team Leading, Oof

"Anything that involves a lot of people skills and socializing. I thought these positions were just the bulls**t of sitting in meetings all day and not a lot of work happening but having to be the one leading those meetings and doing public speaking is taxing in a way I didn’t realize."

- Counterboudd

Not a Pet Sitter At All

"Veterinary Technician."

"Do the job of an RN, anesthesiology tech, dental hygienist, radiology tech, phlebotomist, lab tech, and CNA, but probably don’t make a living wage and have people undervalue your career because you 'play with puppies and kittens all day.'"

- forthegoddessathena

Harder Than It Looks!

"Sometimes, when my brain is fried from thinking and my ego is shot from not fixing the problem, I want to be a garbage man... not a ton of thinking, just put the trash in the truck, and a lot of them have trucks that do it for you!"

"But if the robot either doesn't work or you don't have one on your truck, it smells really bad, the pay isn't what it used to be, you might find a dead body and certainly find dead animal carcasses... and people are id**ts, overfilling their bags, just to have them fall apart before you get to the truck, not putting their trash out and then blaming you, making you come back out."

"Your body probably is sore every day, and you have to take two baths before you can kiss your wife..."

"Ehh, maybe things are not so bad where I am."

- Joebroni1414

Twiddling Thumbs and Listening

"Therapist here. I’ve always said that it’s pretty easy to be an okay therapist—as in, it’s not that hard to listen to people’s problems and say, 'Oh wow, that’s so hard, poor you.'"

"But to be a good therapist? To know when your client is getting stuck in the same patterns, or to notice what your client isn’t saying? To realize that they’re only ever saying how amazing their spouse is, and to think, 'Hmm, nobody’s marriage is perfect, something’s going on there'?"

"To be able to ask questions like, 'Hey, we’ve been talking a lot about your job, but what’s going on with your family?' And then to be able to call them on their s**t, but with kindness and empathy? Balancing that s**t is hard."

"Anybody can have empathy, but knowing when to use empathy and when and how to challenge someone is so much harder. And that’s only one dimension of what makes being a therapist challenging."

- mylovelanguageiswine

Constant Updates

​"For the most part, my job is really easy (marketing tech). But having to constantly stay on top of new platforms, new tech, updates, etc etc is exhausting and overwhelming and I really hate it."

"Also, the constant responsibility to locate and execute opportunities to optimize things and increase value for higher-ups. Nobody in corporate roles can ever just reach a point of being 'good enough.' More and better is always required."

"Just some of the big reasons I’m considering a career change."

- GlizzyMcGuire_

Performing Is Not Easy

"Performing arts and other types of art. People think it’s a cakewalk or 'not a real job,' not realizing the literal lifetime of training, rejection, and perseverance that it takes to reach a professional level and how insanely competitive those spaces are."

- ThrowRA1r3a5

All About Perception

"I suspect everything fits this. Consider that someone whose job is stacking boxes in a warehouse has to know how to lift boxes, how many can be stacked, know if certain ones must be easily accessible, know how to use any equipment that is used to move boxes around."

"Not to mention if some have hazardous or fragile materials inside, if some HAVE to be stacked on the bottom, if a mistake is made and all the boxes have to be restacked, etc."

"But everyone else is like, 'They're just stacking boxes.'"

- DrHugh

It's easy to make assumptions about someone else's work and responsibilities when we haven't lived with performing those tasks ourselves.

This gave us some things to think about, and it certainly reminded us that nothing good comes of making assumptions, especially when it minimizes someone else's experiences.

Things Left-Handed People Deal With That Right-Handed People Never Do

Left-handed person holding a Sharpie
Kelly Sikkema/Unsplash

Many of us who are right-handed never even think about how the world is designed to cater to us.

It probably doesn't even cross your mind that 10% of the world's population is left-handed.

Because of this, there tends to be a stigma for being left-handed since society tends to associate the left with negative things.

For example, the phrase "two left feet" applies to those who are clumsy and therefore, incapable of dancing.

Curious to hear more about the challenges facing those with the other dominant hand, Redditor johnnyportillo95 asked:

"What’s something left-handed people have to deal with that right-handed people wouldn’t even think about?"

If only manufacturers appealed to an ambidextrous world.

Furniture Obstacle

"Those desks or couch chairs that have a small desk attached. They do make left handed/sided ones but they are few and far between."

– Prussian__Princess

"And they’re only on one side of the lecture hall, and it’s never a good seat. There is ONE front row, lefty desk in the entire room and it’s in the far corner, obscured by an ancient overhead projector."

– earwighoney

Everyday Objects For Everyday People

"as a left-handed person myself, one thing we often deal with is finding left-handed tools or equipment. many everyday objects, like scissors or can openers, are designed with right-handed people in mind, which can make certain tasks a bit more challenging for us lefties. we also have to adapt to a right-handed world when it comes to writing on whiteboards or using certain computer mice."

– J0rdan_24

Dangerous Tools

"The biggest risk is power tools. I taught myself to use all power tools right handed because of risks using them left handed."

"Trivial, I love dry boards but they are super hard to write on."

– diegojones4

It's hard to play when you're born with a physical disadvantage.

Sports Disadvantage

"Allright, Sports when you are young. Every demonstration from PE teachers are right handed. You cant just copy the movements they teach you you need to flip them and your tiny brain struggoes to process it. As well, 98% of the cheap sports equipment the school uses is right handed."

– AjCheeze

No Future In Softball

"I tried to bat right handed for so long in gym class growing up because the gym teacher never asked me what my dominant side was and the thought never occurred to me as a child to mention it! Needless to say I never became a softball star."

– Leftover-Cheese

Find A Glove That Fits

"In softball and baseball we need a specific glove for our right hand that's often impossible to find unless you own one, and we have to bat on the other side of the plate."

– BowlerSea1569

"I was one of two left-handers in a 4-team Little League in the 1980s. Nobody could pitch to me. I got a lot of "hit by pitch" walks out of it."

– Jef_Wheaton

These examples are understandably annoying.

Shocking Observation

"Having right handed people make comments whenever they see us write, like we’re some kind of alien."

– UsefulIdiot85

"'Woah! You're left-handed????'"

"I find myself noticing when someone is a lefty, and sometimes I comment on it, but I try not to. I'm primarily left-handed (im a right handed wroter but do everything else left), and every single time I go to eat with my family, someone says, "Oh hey, give SilverGladiolus22 the left hand spot, they're left-handed," and inevitably someone says, 'Wait, really?' Lol."

– SilverGladiolus22

Can't Admire The Mug

"We never get to look at the cute graphics on coffee mugs while we’re drinking from them."

– vanetti

"I just realized…I always thought the graphics were made so someone else could read them while you drink. Hmmm."

– Bubbly-Anteater7345

"I'm right-handed and I often wondered why the graphics were turned towards the drinker instead of out for others to see."

– Material-Imagination

The Writing On The Wall

"Writing on whiteboards is a nightmare. I have to float my hand, which tires out my arm quickly, and I can't see what I've already written to keep the line straight."

– darkjedi39

"Also as a teacher, it means I'm standing to the left of where I'm writing, so I'm blocking everything I write. I have to frequently finish writing, then step out of the way so people can see, instead of just being able to stand on the right side the whole time."

– dancingbanana123

Immeasurable

"Rulers."

"How the f'k is no one talking about rulers? It's from 30cm to 0 cm to me, or I have to twist my arms to know the measure I want to trace over it."

– fourangers

Just Can't Win

"EVERYTHING. The world has always been based around people being right handed. As a Chef, my knife skills SUCKED until I worked with a Left Handed Chef. Then it all made sense."

"Literally, everything we do must be observed, then flipped around in our heads, then executed. This is why Lefties die sooner, on average, than Righties."

"I had to learn how to be ambidextrous, just to complete basic tasks (sports, driving a manual, using scissors, etc). I am used to it now, and do many things right handed out of necessity, as wall as parents and teachers 'forcing' it upon me."

"But, at least we are not put to death anymore, simply for using the wrong hand (look it up, it happened)."

"Ole Righty, always keeping us down."

– igenus44

The world doesn't need another demographic to feel "othered" for being different.

But if you're right-handed and tend to make assumptions about left-handed people, you may want to observe the following.

Ronald Yeo, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Texas-Austin told CNN:

"We shouldn’t assume much about people’s personalities or health just because of the hand they write with."
"And we certainly shouldn’t worry about lefties’ chances of success: After all (as of 2015), five of our last seven U.S. presidents have been either left- or mixed-handed."

People Reveal Whether They Let Their Dog Sleep On Their Bed Or Not

Not all pet owners have the same relationship with their pets.

While anyone who decides to become a pet owner, or pet parent as some say, love their pets equally, some never ever let them leave their side.

Taking their pet with them to work, running errands, even on vacations.

Many pet parents even allow their pets to share their bed with them when going to sleep.

For others though, this is where a line is finally drawn.

Redditor Piggythelavasurfer was curious to hear whether pet owners allowed their pets to share their bed with them, as well as the reasons why they do/don't, leading them to ask:

"Do you let your pet sleep in your bed? Why/why not?"

The Tiny Issue Of Water...

"Absolutely not."

"I have fish."- Senior-Meal3649

Everyone Gets Lonely Eventually...

"I adopted an eleven year old cat the day before Halloween."

"She has mostly lived in my closet since I got her, and she hasn’t been too interested in coming out."

"Last night, she came out of my closet and jumped up on my bed, and crawled under my covers and curled up by my feet to sleep."

"I was so happy!"- YellowBeastJeep

The Comforting Reminder That You're Not Alone...

"I recently lost my Greyhound but I used to let him sleep on my bed with me."

"The company was nice and he was no trouble to have on my bed."- HoodedMenace3

"They're so full of love and just want cuddles all the time."

"And so do I."

"We've all developed a lil routine."

Whose Bed Is It Anyway?

"Yes."

"They're also kind enough to let me squeeze into whatever space they've left for me."

"Although I do get a few dirty looks off them."- Therealkaylor

"I found this tiny kitten screaming her head off under a car."

"Would not come out."

"She got curious about the food and water and started gobbling it down."

"I thought she would bolt when I squatted down."

"She was too busy eating."

"I grabbed her by the nape of the neck and all four legs went straight out and she tried to scratch me to death."

"I got her in the door and tossed her toward the couch."

"She ricocheted off the couch as if she was a ping pong off a table and I lost sight of her."

"I put out food and water and a sandbox and did not see that kitten for three days."

"On the third day, I came home and she was on my bed pillow."

"I thought she would bolt when I came near, but she didn't."

"I wanted to sleep so I tried to scoot her little butt off my pillow."

"She would not go."

"I put my head down to sleep and that is the way it was from then on."

"She ran the roost."- Logical_Cherry_7588

Sleeping Is A Prerequisite...

"No, he's a cat and he cannot keep still during the night."

"He walks across the headboard, opens the closet doors, jumps into the windows and rustles the blinds, etc."

"If he would sleep he could stay, but alas, he's a ramblin' man."- Spong_Durnflungle

Saying No Just Isn't An Option...

"'Let'."

"Lol."

"It's a cat's world and I'm happy to be on her good side."- milaren

Felines Only!

"The cat does, the dog doesn't and the horse certainly does not either."- Xcrowzz

Is That My Hair On That Pillow?

"My dog is perfect."

"She comes up, cuddles til we start to fall asleep, then gets down to sleep on her bed so she doesn't get too hot."

"Jumps back up in the early morning for wake up cuddles."

"The hair everywhere is the only downside but she is so cozy, what can you do."- HoodieWinchester

It is easy to understand how some people are able to fall asleep more easily knowing their friend and protector is there, in bed, with them.

Though we can't blame others who don't want to run the risk of being scratched or bitten in the middle of the night either...
