When the neighbor's dog becomes your alarm clock...

Ah, Boise. Where you wake up surrounded by the majestic beauty of the foothills, and sometimes, the not-so-majestic sound of your neighbor's dog yapping at 5 AM. Because who needs an alarm clock when Clifford's on patrol, right?

Some folks take it on the chin and chalk it up to one of the many consequences of apartment living. Others, however, are much less forgiving. They call the call cops on their neighbors for disturbing their peaceful beauty rest every time the neighbor's dog makes a squeak.

Sharing is caring...unless it's your WiFi.

Sharing is second nature for Idahoans. We swap niceties with people in line at Albertsons; we give you a wave and a smile in traffic; we're happy to lend our neighbors an egg or a cup of sugar. Still, there's a fine line between being neighborly and finding out your Wi-Fi's become the community hotspot.

You're streaming Breaking Bad one minute, and the next, you're in the buffer zone. Even worse, you know your WiFi is password protected. Now, not only are you dealing with a mooch-of-a-neighbor, but they're a hacker to boot.

 

 

 

So, what do you do when moving isn't an option and changing passwords is just a band-aid solution to the problem? Would you call the cops on your neighbor? If you're thinking to yourself, "Isn't that crazy?"

Take a look at the most popular reasons Idahoans call the cops on their neighbors. Even if you never make the call, finding out your neighborly woes aren't the worst to deal with could make you feel better.
