I was checking out some Yelp listings this morning, and come across something that made me wanna rant for just a bit. If you are going to participate in communities like Yelp, and leave your two cents (or reviews in the case of Yelp), then why not FULLY PARTICIPATE? People are not going to give what you say a second thought if you are doing anything like Paul B. here:

How NOT to be a Yelper!

I was thinking about my old town (which happens to be owned by the Government now – seriously no kidding, look at the picture) and some of the neighbors I grew up next to.

My Old Town ... Seriously WTF??
The reason I started thinking about this is because I was trying to compare it to what kind of a neighbor I am in life, and especially online. It begs the question: What kind of a neighbor are you? I had some fun responses on Twitter about bad neighbors too, that I wanted to share: Thanks @Rhea, @MollerMarketing and @ArnieK for your responses!


The Rattlesnake Neighbor
I shared a story on Twitter about how the worst neighbor my family had growing up would always put dead rattlesnakes on our doorstep to try and scare us. Many many times it worked, but the shock factor eventually wore off and it became annoying and we paid no attention (and never became good friends). Can you see where I am taking this?
