New neighbours moved in a month ago and have been putting their waste bins out behind my house. The bins block half of the parking pad I rarely use, and otherwise aren't doing any harm... and yet, I find myself so bothered by it. Why can't they just put their bins out behind their house like everyone else? I don't want to bring it up with them because I don't want to cry wolf about petty things and diminish any real issues in the future, but I'm still annoyed so need to complain somewhere.

I switched over to barefoot shoes 13 years ago: Altras (e.g., Lone Peaks) for trail running and nordic hiking, and Lems (e.g., Primals and Laguna) for work and casual outings. I honestly can't recall every model over the years because I go through shoes frequently.

Anyway, I'm 39 now (145lb, 5'7"), and developed plantars fasciitis 3 months ago. A podiatrist told me I need more supportive footwear with big heel cushions and side support as well as orthotics (I do have high arches). I've also been doing my toe pullbacks and a couple of wall stretches daily that the podiatrist recommended, as well as rolling my foot on an iced water bottle... but I'm still having the heel pain after 3 months. Any recommendations? Is more supportive footwear and orthotics necessary? I'm not keen on how high rise footwear feels, but if it must be, let me know.
