My neighbors keep asking to borrow small things and to park in my spot. I want to set boundaries without turning this into a feud. What phrases or approaches have worked for you that feel firm yet friendly? This has been on my mind for a while and I'd love some real-world experiences. I've already tried a couple of the obvious things and but the results were mixed. I learn best from step-by-step examples or what you'd repeat if you started over. This has been on my mind for a while and I'd love some real-world experiences. Time-wise I can commit a few hours a week, not a full overhaul. If it matters: apartment setting, no special tools, and I'm in a pretty average climate. (This has been on my mind for a while and I'd love some real-world experiences.
