    Neighbor keeps treating woman like personal assistant by pushing pets, plants, and kids on her, she finally snaps: 'I told her I'm not her maid'

    Being neighborly often comes down to small, low-stakes gestures like grabbing a package while someone's at work, watering a plant while they're on vacation, or lending an egg when a recipe calls for one. These little things make neighborhoods feel like communities instead of just rows of houses. Most of the time, people understand boundaries and appreciate a kind gesture without expecting you to rearrange your life around theirs.

    But sometimes helping out can slowly creep into doing everything for them, and that's when the balance tips. One errand here, one favor there, and it can snowball until you realize you've become the neighborhood's unofficial babysitter, pet sitter, and personal assistant all in one. That's when the sweet gestures of community cross into relentless expectations and being nice feels less like kindness and more like a job you never signed up for.
