When my friend left his Tesla at my house for a week, I jokingly told my nosy neighbors, Rashida and Samil, that it was mine. They were jealous and spread rumors that I’d come into money. When the car disappeared a week later, they were shocked and became even more obsessed with competing. Later, after I got a modest promotion and fixed up my home, their jealousy escalated — they used the HOA to harass me and even started stealing my packages.
