DEAR MISS MANNERS: I live in the city, with driveways that are close together. I was playing cards on my front porch, and the neighbor’s car was sitting right next to us in their driveway, with the windows open. It started to rain.

Do I call the neighbor to tell them? Or would that be intrusive?

GENTLE READER: Telling neighbors that their teenager left the car windows open would be intrusive. Saving them from wet upholstery is neighborly.
