some reason within you give more weight than he deserves.

that you can find another job even if it pays less.
Count to 10
When you feel that a neighbor is driving you crazy and you feel that you
should retaliate by hurting his or her, count to 10. This is not the right
way to handle the situation. Take a deep breath and think. If you
believe that what he or she is doing is not legal, you guess it; report the
issue to the police. No need to get angry. If your garden is damaged,
the law will make you neighbor fix it or compensate you.
Be Proactive and not re-active
You might feel angry when you are surprised with a situation that you
never anticipate and it is against your wish. If you are a proactive
person, always think ahead of the person’s actions that might hurt you.
Thinking ahead helps you deal with difficult people more easily because
you know their next step.
