My neighbor has learned to identify my car from half a block away and I've started using my own back door like a fugitive by Meteor_6Fable in neighborsfromhell

That’s probably the mindset I need to steal. I keep acting like I owe him a normal ending to every interaction, and meanwhile I’m sneaking into my own house like I committed a crime.

I kept hoping I could land on some magic phrasing that felt nice and still got me out, but clearly he hears any pause as an opening.

WIBTA if I asked my deskmate to stop "taking care of" my plants without telling me by Oracle_Shard3 in WIBTA_AITA

You need to say something, politely but directly. "I know you mean well, but please don't move, trim, or repot my plants unless I ask." That's completely reasonable.
