Little did her neighbors know, Melissa was not just an ordinary resident – she was a Ph.D. student in geology. With a mind fueled by both determination and revenge, she set out to teach the entire neighborhood a valuable lesson. The ramifications of angering a geologist were about to be felt by all.

Not So Good Neighbors
Your neighbors can either be a source of endless annoyance or a pleasant surprise. From excessively loud late-night parties to unwarranted curiosity, we’ve all encountered our fair share of intrusions. But beware, there’s a third type of neighbor lurking in the shadows, treating the entire neighborhood like their personal playground. If you’re not careful, you might just find yourself being taken advantage of, unless you stand up for yourself.
Not So Good Neighbors
It’s Nothing New
Little did Melissa know that this was not her first encounter with neighbor problems. As she embarked on her third degree, an entirely new realm of uncertainty awaited her. Unpleasant roommates and neighbors had become all too familiar, a troublesome aspect of her life that she had grown accustomed to. For three long years, she found solace in the familiarity of her roommates and the comforting walls of their shared abode. However, everything changed when the new neighbors arrived in July 2018. Burdened with trepidation, Melissa couldn’t help but worry about these freshmen and sophomore undergraduates who now occupied the neighboring abode. But what she experienced next surpassed even her worst fears – they blocked her driveway!

Good Roommate Is Rare
Melissa sensed it, a once-in-a-lifetime connection, when she first crossed paths with her current roommates. Their respect for each other’s need for peace, tidiness, and unpredictable routines was unparalleled. Despite their challenging schedules, they found a way to coexist harmoniously. Their seamless bond compelled them to remain roommates, year after year, their apartment contracts renewing like chapters in an unfolding tale…

With each contract renewal, they held onto their special dynamic, relieved that the others were still on board.

When new neighbors appeared in July 2018 – first and second-year undergrads – worry crept in, but little did she know that it was just the beginning. They seemed harmless at first until they decided to block her driveway…
Blocking Her Driveway
Noisy Ones
“I never had an issue until about a week and a half ago,” Melissa confessed, her voice tinged with trepidation. “This is the second time it’s happened.” As a rule, underclassmen throw wild and extravagant parties compared to graduate students, who’ve long left those days behind. Melissa did admit, though, that “they’ve been considerate so far, keeping the noise down and not trespassing on our yard.” But then something caught her eye—a boulder that sparked a fire of anger deep within her…
Noisy Ones
She Noticed Something
Fury surged through her veins as she recalled the events leading up to this moment. The previous day, she had specifically requested her neighbors not to block her way, well aware of their boisterous party plans. With determination, she marched over, seeking to reclaim her backyard’s sanctity. What she encountered, however, exceeded all expectations. Instead of a mere car obstructing her path, a colossal boulder now stood in its place on this fateful morning…

Blocked With A Boulder
One fateful day, as Melissa approached her car, she was met with an unexpected sight – a colossal boulder stood tall, obstructing her path. This was no ordinary rock; it had a purpose, guarding the fence against reckless parkers. However, a neighbor, driven by selfishness, had callously moved it to Melissa’s side, effectively imprisoning her car in the driveway. With a desperate knock on the door for assistance, she was met with an eerie silence, leaving her stranded with no escape in sight.

Rock With A Purpose
Little did they know, it wasn’t just any ordinary slab of stone. The neighbors, well aware of the constant stream of cars and cramped parking, had a secret plan.
