Avoid confronting loud or obnoxious neighbors by using Sean Mayers' Bad Neighbor Notes. They are a silly and fun way to get a real point across while maintaining the act of being civil. This clever solution launched on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-ninjas) to help neighbors address common issues faced by many people living in urban areas. Closely knit housing structures and apartment buildings sometime allow for people to become unaware of their barking dogs, loud music or foul food odors.

Every note from the Bad Neighbor Note collection addresses the issue in a [satirical fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-blocker). It reads like a headline to ensure it grabs the noisy neighbor's attention. Each note has a calendar in case you have to be specific about when the noise or disturbance occurred.

The neighbor notes are in full color and measure about 4 inches by 6 inches. They are equipped with a [sticky back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note) so they can be easily slapped on a door.
