Will keep this in mind, thank you.
You’re certainly welcome.
Maybe the neighbor was having a bad day, and feels bad or embarrassed now.
In any event, let it go & keep the advice in your back pocket. You did nothing wrong.
The Art of Getting Along
Wilferd A. Peterson
Sooner or later people, if they are wise, discover that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take.
They learn that a person’s size is often measured by the size of the thing it takes to get his or her goat. . . . that the conquest of petty irritations is vital to his or her success.
They learn that they who lose their temper usually lose.
They learn that carrying a chip on their shoulder is the quickest way to get into a fight.
They learn that buck-passing acts as a boomerang.
They learn that carrying tales and gossip about others is the easiest way to become unpopular.
They learn that everyone is human and that they can help to make the day happier for others by smiling and saying “Good morning!”
They learn that giving others a mental lift by showing appreciation and praise is the best way to lift their own spirits.
They learn that the world will not end when they fail or make an error; that there is always another day and another chance.
They learn that listening is frequently more important than talking, and that they can often make a friend by letting other people tell their troubles.
They learn that all people have burnt toast for breakfast now and then and that they shouldn’t let their grumbling get them down.
They learn that people are not any more difficult to get along with in one place than another and that “getting along” depends about ninety-eight percent on their own behavior.
