New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, then gets a surprise when his taxes skyrocket

'City attorney...refuses to work with farmer neighbor': New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, becomes infuriated when his taxes skyrocket

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes. Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act “trad” (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have…

'My landlords have moved in': Tenant lets landlords stay in her apartment one day, turns into all month

Landlords may be known for their shady practices, but a full-on role-reversal situation is not what we're accustomed to… Before we get into this new drama, let's all take a moment to acknowledge that landlords simply should not be able to get away with most of their ridiculous antics. Whether it's raising the rent well above market value and refusing to negotiate or whether it's refusing to acknowledge your fifth email this month about the roach problem and the need for a major roof repair, we…

Contract work is for people with thick skin — just ask this person, who had to fight to get paid for their work .

'A literal fistfight almost broke out': Man puts a $31 lien on his HOA president's $20 million dollar mansion as petty revenge, preventing him from selling it until his 'debt' is paid

HOA's are a pain in the rear. The idea of an HOA is great– have a collection of live-in leaders get together once a month to improve the building and the property they live in– but nowadays they rarely operate like that. In fact, HOA's are so useless that they can't even do simple upkeep without first lining their pockets for profit. One man decided to take a stand against a crummy HOA board by taking the most epic petty revenge of all time.

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

I don't blame this woman for airing out her family's business after what they did with her education funds. For most people, family comes before all else. You want your loved ones to be happy and thrive, and have all the tools they need to succeed in the world. It seems like this woman's great-aunt really wanted that for her own family. She specifically set aside money for the women in her family to get an education. The OP, u/Accomplished_Bar5656, writes that her aunt helped numerous members o…

'Got fired from my internship so I sued the company': Intern's excellent revenge on shady company

This intern wasn't afraid to burn bridges after his boss fired him out of nowhere! Internships can be truly grueling. Regardless of what industry you're in, as an intern, you can expect to be doing the jobs no one else wants to do, popping out to get coffee for the employees, and even working extra hours. You're supposed to gain career experience , and maybe even gain a job as a result. But in actuality, companies almost never end up hiring interns, and they often don't bother to pay them for t…

‘We Built a Wall’ : Woman Sees Snow as Opportunity for Revenge on Meddling Neighbor, Building Icy Barrier, Nine and a Half Feet Tall

While some people may see an inconvenience as a problem, others see it as an opportunity to get back at their terrible neighbors. One person held this attitude, and it certainly got her far in terms of petty revenge. She lived next to an older couple, who lived above their car restoration business (this part is relevant because their business was fronted right on the sidewalk, running the entire length and width of their property). The thing was, their garage door was in the middle of the front…
