The single man living next door in our apartment building has been a constant source of complaints from my wife regarding residential etiquette. It started with smoking in shared spaces, then moved on to trash disposal days, community activities, and so on... As a pacifist, I've always told her 'Don't stir up trouble,' but one day, my wife, who is an officer in the community association, went alone to protest at Mr. Miyashita's place on behalf of the women's division... Since that day, there have been noticeable changes in my wife's behavior...
