Nosey Neighbors
I've been having quite some difficulty lately regarding my neighbors. They seem to hate me for no reason, and I think it's because they know what I do for a living, as evidenced by the bags I cart to and from work. Have any of you lived next to a stripper with this problem? It's quite unsettling and so NOT brilliant.

It's been a long time since I have had neighbors (as in attached to me) but I have had issues in the past as well. Here's what I would recommend to start, without knowing much about the situation.
1. Are they reasonable? If they are maybe you can talk with them like saying "hey I don't know if you know but I can hear your stereo blasting at 1AM, do you think you can turn it down a little after 10PM?"
2. If they're assholes, do you think you can get your landlord involved? If this neighbor is bothering you, do you think they're noise or issues are bothering other tenants as well? Usually 3 unhappy tenants complaining to the landlord will quiet down the one noisy neighbor quickly.
Lastly, you may want to be more specific in what they are doing to you as for us to provide a solution.
When my (now ex) wife and I were first married, a stripper lived in the apartment below ours. The hens in the apartment complex constantly talked shit about her behind her back.
One summer night my wife and I had a particularly long and loud session of lovemaking with the window open. The next day the apartment manager (also female) called me at work to find out if my wife and I wanted to join in on the complaints she was hearing regarding the sex noise from the girl downstairs from us. Our neighbors were trying to have her evicted. I admitted to the manager that the noise had come from our apartment. The manager was quite embarrassed. Me, not so much.
Hard to give any advice without knowing specifics. But if it's a jealous woman or some kind of moralistic hypocrite, and I doubt there's much you can do but move.
If they do anything illegal, I wouldn't hesitate to call the police.
So I threw her in the pool and said, "There, you're fucked"
Long story short, a couple women in the complex found out they were camgirls and got them evicted for bullshit complaints. Well, not evicted, technically management just chose not to renew their lease when it was up, which is super rare.
Shame too. Camgirls think going to the pool in a thong is "modest".
On a serious note, perhaps 15 years ago, I had a fave that told me she was going back to NY and her family to deal with bone cancer.
About a year later, my fave bartender calls me and says at the club, but in a wheel chair,l with both legs gone.
I go see her and she tells me the story how the doctors decided to amputate the cancerous leg. Sad, very sad. I asked her were they both cancerous. The reply startled me.
They weren't but there was a hospital screw up and they took the bad and good leg. VERY VERY sad!
So I figured she at least hit it big with the layers, but that didn't even happen. I asked how this obvious fuck up could happen without consequences for the hospital.
The lawyers told her, simply, "No use trying as she didn't have a leg to stand on.
I have had a single female next door to me. My biggest complaint might have been she didn't inform me when she was going to wash her car in her bikini. It was right outside my computer window. It was completely distracting. I would have preferred she just lay out in front of my window. Then I would have completely ignored my pc. She didn't lay out topless either. Totally disrespectful. I would expect any nice stripping neighbor to lay out in the sun in front of my window topless.
I did have a nice looking girl lay out in front of my apartment window when I was in college. When she saw me she said "I hope you don't mind, the sun s better right in front of your window.". I was a good neighbor. :)
