Seems like mom has decided to get on bad terms with all her neighbors. It all started when one of them came and told my brother he shouldn't park in front of the porch (Mom lives in a row house with three apartments and she lives in the middle one. This person lives at the end of it and when my brother parks in front of the door they can't drive to their door. Not that they ever do that, but still) and now again when they told him that he shouldn't wash his car in the parking area (even tho it's got all the equipments for washing a car) for this or that reason.
Sure, it is annoying that they keep "poking their nose into our business" like that, but they've actually got a point at least with the parking thing. But there's no point for mom to start some stupid war because of it.
She tried going to her other neighbor to ask if they too found it to be bad when someone washed their car in the parking area and apparently they disagreed on things and now mom's grumpy at that neighbor too.
Oh, and for some odd stupid reason mom has started to -talk- (she's not really going to do it) about getting a dog just loudly enough so that the "don't wash your car"-neighbor could hear it if they were out in the back yard/kept the back door open, and she's trying to pull me into the thing too. My brother has already jumped onto mom's stupid scheme and plays along whenever he stops by. I just think it's pointless and stupid. I might not like the neighbors either, but I prefer not to waste any extra energy on them and do my best to make sure I don't do anything that might cause issues like the ones there have been lately.
Why can't everyone involved in this just agree to disagree and stop acting like little children in a sandbox?
