In fact my Mum had an argument with one of our neighbours recently. We live in these new apartments so there are usually people about. My Mum was sitting watching TV when she heard a banging, she looked out the window to find plastic balls being dropped from above and hitting her car. So she goes outside and calls up 'Excuse me, could you please refrain your child from throwing those balls, they are hitting my car', a fair comment, right? Anyways, then the woman is like 'shut up! Don't tell me how to raise my kid!'. Then, she comes downstairs and calls my Mum outside and proceeds to call her a bad name and that 'old' people shouldn't live here.

I was like 'what the hell!' I was so angry. My Mum was just politely asking that their brat of a son doesn't ruin her car and the woman stresses out.
