People who leave their apartment and let their dogs bark nonstop all day - how do you sleep at night knowing all your neighbors hate you?

I once lived below an apartment that housed a husky whose owner would be out all day. The poor dog was miserable and made that everyone else's problem. I felt terrible for the dog

I have had multiple coworkers reach out privately and ask me if something is wrong with my dog. I have to tell them I don’t have one

ugh, I want a dog soooo badly but this is the main thing holding me back. I'm scared I'll get a loud dog that I can't train

Some breeds are more prone to bark than others.

My whippet/greyhound is basically a cat when he's in my apartment. I can count on my fingers the number of times he's barked in my apartment over the past 2 years.

my greyhound took 3-4 months to work through his separation anxiety, and our neighbors hated us for sure. After that time, he was perfect

Were you actually hit? If not, that's the only Boston rule... don't hit anything.

I could swear there was a post here in maybe the last few months from a guy on a mission to make his own perfect italian sub, but I can't find it. Did I make it up? Ring any bells?

Alternatively, what brand/style of jarred hots do I want for a similar calling?

Tired of your neighbor skirting tax laws with their out of state registered car? Report them to the I Pay Taxes tip line.

ooo edgy hot take. Sometimes narcing tax evaders is the adult thing to do. Plus hating outsiders is what we do. Stop being an outsider lover.

If my neighbor did something else to piss me off, like run over my dog, and they also happened to have out of state plates, maybe I would report it. Reporting it on its own is just petty and a misguided use of energy. Get mad at billionaire tax evaders. Not middle class citizens.

You can be mad at both. There's nothing petty about it. It's all tax evasion and theft. I'm starting to think you're one of these scofflaws I speak of.

Out of state visitors do not need to register their car in MA.

Correct, only applies if you claim residency. There is no grace period and must be registered as soon as you become a resident. Students who bring their car must file a "nonresident driver statement" to be exempted.
