How To!: Confront a Vindictive Neighbor with Tig Notaro (Encore)
The trouble began when Sarah put a fern in front of her new condo. Nice, right? The woman who lives in the unit above didn\u2019t think so, and without warning sent Sarah a slew of passive-aggressive notes. Sarah thinks it\u2019s all a big misunderstanding, but now her neighbor refuses to even speak to her. Sarah is wracked with anxiety, struggling to sleep, and contemplating moving out. On this episode of How To!, we turn to stand-up comedian Tig Notaro, a cancer survivor and host of the new advice podcast Don\u2019t Ask Tig, to help Sarah approach the situation with humor and clarity. When things don\u2019t go your way, Tig says, you have to take back control of your own story. What would the hero in your favorite movie do? For Sarah, this means gardening with headphones and the Rocky theme on the soundtrack.\xa0\nDo you have a problem that could use some humorous advice?
