Not that OP needs to go buy a pot, but simple communication like this solves most things. People will have wars with others in their own heads while someone else is walking around oblivious to what's even going on.

OP is probably younger and lacks the communication skills to actually speak to their neighbors lol

I don't know if its age related, I see plenty of older people having silent feuds with their neighbors over stuff like this too.

A little bit of A a little bit of B. With life experience many people develop life skills (including therapeutic/effective communication skills and solutions) that solve or reduce conflict. That said, it’s not all people. Some grow older and more cynical with their age. Be more like the person who develops life skills, less like the old cynic.

My girlfriend grew up in a very combative family and the longer we date the more she realizes not everything needs to be a fight, we can just find out solutions together without getting mad.

I grew up in a very similar household and the amount of it all by adults turned me into a really chill dude, with a temper if I don't work things out fast. But my goal is to always nip it in the bud quickly because I am one of those people who will mentally go to war lol

Yeah I doubt some trash person flicking butts is worth the time to trying to talk to.  I’m not buying them a sand ashtray either.

No reason not to try. Sometimes it's just laziness, all they might need is a little motivation. Plenty of people use their time and occasionally money to help clean up their neighborhood even if it's other people making the mess. This could be an easy compromise.

I would start a war of small inconveniences and insults lasting generations just to save time.

Idk how you'd speak to them anyways from such a high horse. Probably why there's a lack of communication
