It grinds my gears a bit when others think there's always something to do about it. Yes, I could get upset, but at the same time, if they aren't doing anything illegal, then there literally isn't anything you can do about it. You can go ask them what they're doing, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have to stop. So maybe finding out what I can do about it is trying to get things changed, but at that moment, there's not a whole lot. This is all predicated on the fact that whatever they are doing is legal as it stands now. I don't have to like it to have to accept it. If you don't like it, then you do things to mitigate or change the laws.
Similarly, last week I had a bunch of trees taken down from my back yard. They were near the property line, but distinctly on my side. My neighbor came storming over wondering what I was doing. I said I was cutting down my trees. He got upset because it changed the look of their yard (removing _my_ trees changed the look of his back yard), removed "privacy" (despite the fact their house is 30 feet higher than mine and therefore gave me no privacy), among a couple of other outlandish things. This, despite the fact that they were my trees. I told him it didn't matter, they were mine, and had them taken down. Everything I did was totally legal, but he didn't like it, but couldn't do anything about it.
