2 If you walk by a house on the sidewalk with a "keep off the grass" sign on the lawn and see heads looking out with the window through the blinds until the house is cleared.
3 If your neighbours stop everything they are doing and stare at you without blinking everytime you drive into your street.

4. You smell fish from your neighbours garage.
10If it's 1pm in the afternoon, and your neighbours still call the cops on you for your loud music.
