Some people are reasonable and happy to stay friendly if it is plausible.

Some people have the mindset of doing WTF they want, unless or until someone makes them do something else. My cousin was this way. It's great if you are running a corporation. Gangsters fall into this mindset often also.

Me? I'm kinda in-between. Mostly depending on how someone approaches me and makes their request to change my behavior in either a convincing, persuasive, or polite and respectful manner.

Sounds like your neighbor is the of the type described in the second paragraph above.
