    I can’t believe I’m reading this question! In this day and age where personal responsibility seems to have disappeared, where almost any behavior no matter how inconsequential violates someone else to some tiny little degree, now here you come because a co-worker is on the phone too much. My question is what is YOUR problem? If his cell phone use is causing you to work harder, OK. Are you his supervisor and lack the ability to curb his ‘bad habit’? If his cell phone use has no demonstrable effect on you and your work, you will find his problem the next time you look in the mirror!

    Tim, I certainly can sympathize with the problem as I know I would be just as concerned if I were stuck in the same situation. It seems as though most of the previous responses were more concerned with your catagorization of the neighbors than with the fact that you (and/or your friend) now have trash for new neighbors. Contact city hall and if there are any resources (health insp. or building insp.) who address these issues start there. If the property is a rental find the landlord and address the issue with them. They may not know. If the new neighbor is the owner of the property, monitor the situation closely and contact the appropriate authorities when necessary and let them or make them do their job. Do not allow it to continue as it will get worse, and will be that much harder to eliminate. All of the neighbors have as much a right not to live next to someone like this as the perpetrator feels he/she has. I would not want to be in the same situation in my neighborhood and would take any legal action I could to prevent it.
