Teen Left Bewildered As Neighbor Asks Them To Stop Staying On Balcony Late At Night Because The Dog's Barking Wakes Them Up

Leona Martinez

Every night for four years, this Redditor (OP) has enjoyed some quiet time on their balcony, soaking in the cool night air and reading under the stars.

Recently, their neighbor got a big, loud dog with anger issues, causing a disturbance. Every night, it barked uncontrollably when it saw the OP on the balcony. Because the neighbor got bothered by the dog's barking, they asked the OP to stop staying on the balcony late at night.

Not wanting to change their routine, the OP suggested meeting the dog to make things better, but the neighbor refused, thinking the dog might be too dangerous. To find out what happened next, keep reading for more details.
