Picture this: thick steaks sizzling on the BBQ. Salted margaritas in hand. Laughter shivering smiling lips. Kids, deep in a game of tag, zip amongst the adults who are chatting up a pleasant storm in a gorgeously green backyard.

It’s Sunday dinner and drinks with the neighbors.

Sounds like paradise, doesn’t it?

I thought so too. But it was all a lie. Behind those smiling lips were sharp teeth and angry hearts. They were just coming over because they had to and their rancor rose with the passing seconds.

It’s insane, but your neighbors can hate you and you have no idea.

Here are six subtle signs your neighbors actually hate you and what you can do about it.
