We've all had bad neighbors before, whether they play music late at night, throw trash over your fence, have vicious dogs that won't stop barking or let their kids play outside during the daytime. Oh, what's that? You don't think there's anything wrong with a child playing in their own backyard?
Well tell that to the grumpy Arizona neighbor who left this note for his neighbors complaining that:
“Every day this week, when weather has been nice and windows are open, you proceed to let your small child run free in your backyard and laugh and giggle and carry on without end. This is very disruptive for my two dogs and my bird who sits next to the window. … Perhaps you could ask him to tone it down a bit, or at least limit his outside time to 15-20 minutes a day. If this behavior continues I WILL CALL THE POLICE"
The letter was shared online by a freind of the family and has quickly gone viral with many commenters chiming in on what they think the proper way to handle the situation would be. So Neatonauts, what do you think? How would you deal with a neighbor who left a note like this in your mailbox?

If your kid is outside running and playing, laughing and having fun, you're disruptive and possibly neglectful. Unless they're only out for ten minutes while you hover like a helicopter every second to make sure no noise escapes their lips, and they don't get a molecule of dirt on them...
Yeah, as you've probably guessed my kids run around outside laughing, climbing trees, and -gasp- getting DIRTY every time the weather is nice.
I'll take a happily screaming child in my neighbors yard any day.
Secondly, if real, the neighbor will report the parent for child neglect or abuse. The note will be excellent evidence of the neighbor's bad intent and a restraining order will be easy to obtain. After that, all good options unfold.
