This woman is losing her mind over some teeny tiny flag decorations . Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. And if you're this woman, you then proceed to take a stroll down the block, no shoes necessary, to yell at your neighbors. This woman was very worked up over her neighbors' property , and she spent several minutes screaming at the poor young folks who live there. To their credit, the young people who live in this place handled the woman's yelling with grace (and some mi…

Residing next to a challenging neighbor can be an absolute torment. These individuals tend to derive pleasure from causing distress to themselves and those in their surroundings, sowing chaos and watching it grow for sheer spite. The mere presence of even one of these individuals has the potential to ruin an otherwise pleasant neighborhood. Through 20 years of a peaceful existence, these neighbors, a couple and an elderly couple, shared a driveway that ran right between their two houses, provid…

This guy really took his time to let this act of petty revenge cook , waiting for the fruits of his labor to ripen when things really heated up. Is there anything worse than a dog owner who refuses to pick up after their pooch? It's a sure way to tell the rest of society that you only care about yourself, yourself—and no one else. It's unfortunate that these irresponsible pet owners refuse to consider other people and the bad reputation that they give to all other pet owners; as with anything e…

These people didn't hold back when talking about their neighbors' silliest habits . From keeping the radio on 24/7 to disputes over property lines, there are lots of things you and your neighbors might disagree over. It's great to befriend your neighbors if possible. Alongside having a pleasant atmosphere in your neighborhood , it's nice to have someone you can depend on to water your plants or get your mail while you're out of town. That's assuming you have normal neighbors, but a lot of peopl…

Exposing someone's unethical acts of infidelity, not because of any moral qualms, but because of how it's affecting you… Does this qualify as chaotic good?.. Like, you're doing a net-good act, but for somewhat petty and selfish reasons. But—hey, a lack of sleep can drive anyone to extraordinary ends, and when something—like a noisy and inconsiderate neighbor—is annoying at the best of times… lack of sleep makes what would usually be teeth-grindingly annoying into something completely unbearable…

These two neighbors completely disagree over who's responsible for keeping a yard clear of debris. Having friendly neighbors is a blessing, but this dude is more concerned with a giant woodpile. Instead of having someone next door they can count on, their neighbor has been flipping them off constantly. One of these neighbors, u/brushpileeyesore, came to r/AmItheA**hole to complain about their issue with the guy next door. OP writes that their neighbor had a tree removed, but even after several…

This swimmer is going to have a very special pool, all thanks to their neighbors.

Living next to people in close quarters is never going to be a good time... Having restful peace punctuated by someone else's noise at late or early hours is enough to drive even the most reasonable person insane. With a higher density population also comes the risk of increased opportunity for disturbance, what with having more neighbors living in tighter spaces giving higher chances that you'll end up next to someone who is clueless about how audible their noisemaking is or just plain old woe…

A new guy in town learned to be careful what he asks for from his neighbors . As u/Doriantalus shared, they grew up on a dariy farm, where they have a typical farm lifestyle . That means waking up at the crack of dawn to start farm chores — cows need to be fed and milked at specific times of day, so it's important that the farmers are consistent. The OP's dad sounds like a really nice guy. OP writes that each winter, he would wake up before chore time — around 3 AM — in order to plow every neig…

After moving in, this dude just wanted to take a quick break before they kept unpacking. If you've ever moved, you know what a massive task it is. You have to box up everything you own into what feels like one thousand boxes. Then, you have to transport all your belongings, or entrust a moving company to do it for you, and hope your precious items arrive intact. And finally, you then have to unpack all your stuff , and decorate your new living space. The OP of this story, u/cbing1010101, was in…

There's nothing more blood boiling than when you go out of your way to do a favor for someone only for them to have the audacity to correct you—even ridicule you—over how it was done. Somehow, a simple thanks for act in itself isn't enough, and some complex ego jiu-jitsu leads them to feel it necessary to belittle you and your act of service in order to bring themselves back up to being “better than” you in their own minds. Anyone who thinks or acts like this should just do it themselves or pay…

In kindergarten, you learn that you can't have something just because you want it. Like when you wanted Stewart's red ball, but he refused to share, after taking it anyways and subsequently refusing to apologize, you probably found yourself in timeout in a tiny chair in the corner as negative reinforcement of the fact that you shouldn't take things that aren't yours… Wherever you are now, we hope you're doing well, and we hope that Stewart is no longer having to fend off bullies who want to tak…

Your neighbors can look out for you, but only if you actually get to know them. If you're the neighborhood's cranky dude who just wants to keep to himself, that's fine, but you can't expect your neighbors to have your back if you don't have theirs. Some places, neighbors grow so close that they're almost family. It's a great feeling to be surrounded by friends, and they can watch your pets and water your plants while you're on vacation. You might even start a cycle of borrowing a cup of sugar a…

If there was ever a perfect example of “cutting off one's nose to spite one's face,”—this is it, with this neighbor pursuing a need for vengeance to the point where the only thing they assured was their own downfall. It's like poetry; it rhymes. This construction superintendent found himself facing the wrath of a Karen neighbor at the worksite that they were overseeing. The neighbor was determined to hamper their construction progress by filing illogical complaints with the city inspector. Not…

Neighborhood disputes have been raging over boundary lines for eons and over parking disputes for at least several generations, but recent advancements in technology, making cameras readily available for lower prices, have given us a new thing to feud over. We're decidedly on the fence on this one. While HOAs and their Karen board members can be insufferable and become one of the final bosses of suburban life—let's go back and take a look at the start of this issue. The neighbor didn't want a c…

Some buildings have assigned parking spaces for residents, which would solve a lot of issues, or so you'd think. In this case, one resident was unable to park correctly, as he constantly parked over the line, eventually denting OP's car. At first, before the denting occurred, OP was annoyed that his neighbor was constantly parking over the line, leaving OP little room to park. But after finding dents in his car, without a note, OP was livid. His neighbor was not only irresponsible, inconsiderat…
