[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things might turn out better for everyone if you don't assume you have to "inform these people that their behavior is offensive or inconsiderate to you."

You can kindly--or with humor, even--make your needs and wishes known without trying to teach them a lesson.[/quote]

Disagree, these are all things people should be made aware of.

If I'm making pancakes on the stove and if the person doesn't move in the next 10 seconds, this round is going to burn, they need to know that they need to move, and also probably need to be informed that walking into a kitchen while someone is cooking and standing directly in front of what they are cooking is a problem.

If I'm from Minnesota and my friend unwittingly starts talking about how everyone from Minnesota is super dumb, they need to be informed both of my status and of the fact that they are being an a$$.

Pretty much everyone needs to understand that if you plant certain things near property lines, it can cause a nuisance for your neighbor, and be more thoughtful about how you plant. That sort of thing is a constant source of conflict between neighbors and the best way to avoid it is to just locate your vines or your trees that drop a billion huge nuts every year away from property lines.[/quote]
