What Are The Unspoken Rules Of Neighbor Etiquette That Everyone Should Know?

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Being a good neighbor is always nice, but it becomes extra important if you own your home and plan to be there for years and years. Your life will be so much easier if you can stay on good terms with your neighbors and avoid petty, unnecessary drama.

So if you're a homeowner, we want to hear from you about the unwritten rules of neighbor etiquette.

Maybe you'd like to add a rule like "don't mow your lawn before 10 a.m. over the weekend" so neighbors can sleep in without getting woken up by loud noises.

Or perhaps you would say that "pick up after your dog" is an essential neighborhood rule. Nothing says bad neighbor like leaving a steamy turd on the lawn for someone else to clean up.

Or maybe you've seen parking disputes turn into neighborhood feuds, so you'd add "don't block the neighbor's driveway" to the list.

Tell us in the comments about your unwritten rules for being a good neighbor, and you could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post.
