Why Ask Your Neighbor?
It's not just about being polite; it's about ensuring your neighbor doesn't judge you for putting neon-pink lava lamps on every available surface. It's also a good opportunity to gauge their taste and adjust your own accordingly.
Some possible questions to ask:
- "Do you mind if I paint my walls that color of fire engine red?"
- "Will you notice if I replace all my furniture with IKEA particleboard?"
- "Do you think the smell of last night's Chinese food still wafting through my windows will bother you?"
