I’d not be frustrated because I know most people don’t care about stuff I care about.
Now if it was 500, I’d probably think twice.

We all wanted it done, not just me. My partner didn't care to but was going along with it.
The issue was more about when and how. Right now, everything is out of the carport due to the painting. Maintenance is having someone do it this weekend, if we each pay $25. It's our choice if we want it done. We want it done.
The neighbour didn't want to pay $25 nor were they able to do it until after August. I don't want everything piled up by our front doors until September.. and it doesn't make sense to put things in/out 3 times because our neighbour doesn't want to pay $25. They're not financially hard done by.
It ended up being about "ME" and "my" "WANTS", causing a strain between my partner and I because he claims he was just trying to be "supportive" to "me". It wasn't about me. It was about what made most sense for "when". He agreed it made more sense to do it now vs September. They wouldn't budge. The neighbour is his sister, of course.
I did offer to pay for it because I think it's all silly. Let's just get it done while it's empty.
Telling me this is about "my wants" is not being supportive. It's side swiping the issue.. about his sister's wants.
