[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dropped NextDoor.  I found out way more about our neighbors than I ever wanted to know...namely, that most of them are insane.

The clincher for me was some woman in a neighboring area who took to NextDoor to complain that other people weren't smiling at her or giving a greeting when they passed while walking their dogs.  So I get it because I always greet people when I walk the dogs but that's the way I am, and I too have noticed that I usually am the person giving the smile and greeting first.  However, I also understand if others are using that time for reflection or to zone or to decompress and they don't want to smile at me or greet me.  I don't find it offensive and I don't feel affronted.

Anyway, this woman went onto NextDoor with a litany of complaints about these other people and really made a big deal about how offended she was.  In response, a bunch of people jumped in to express their umbrage at how rude others are.  Somewhere in the midst of this, two people posted that perhaps the other people (the non-smilers, non-greeters) should be given the benefit of the doubt, and that perhaps the poster could just let them be.  Let me tell you, those two people were completely blasted out of the water by the responses.  The vitriol against the two was completely uncalled for.

Anyway no more NextDoor for me.  Good riddance to bad rubbish as my grandma used to say.[/quote]

We have a lady in our neighborhood who thinks appearing to fight local injustice will win her attention. Today it’s a store closing and who knows what’s next. It’s all a performance. Welcome to Nextdoor. [/quote]
