'Neighbor said it wasn't any of the city's business what he did to his yard': Entitled homeowner faces heavy fines for outrageous landscaping despite neighbors warnings

This entitled neighbor had some extreme plans for his landscaping, which included removing massive trees, constructing a 10-foot fence, and leveling the ground extensively. However, his actions did not sit well with his neighbors, the HOA, or even city officials. Despite receiving multiple warnings from his well-meaning next-door neighbors, he refused to consider their advice, believing that his entitlement gave him the right to do as he pleased. Little did he know that his next-door neighbor...

HOA fines guy for using his trash bins, he maliciously complies to get them off his back: ‘I’ll let you know every time I use my garbage can’

One would think that living in an HOA neighborhood would mean safety and protection, but in reality, it means pettiness and fines. Of course, it’s not easy to get on the good side of HOA board members because these are the folks with Tracy Flick sensibilities, years of under-explored resentment, and backward authority complexes. In short, you can’t make friends with the people who will go out of their way to put you in your place for silly reasons. It’s a waste of one’s time and energy. It’s be…

Homeowner writes scathing note to HOA Karen who tried to tow their car from in front of their own home: 'She called the cops on me'

Constant proximity to other people—without any recourse or avenues for escape—is maddening. I guarantee, if you were locked in a room, even with your favorite person in the world, it wouldn't take long (and even less time than you'd think) before you'd grow sick of the sight of them and tired of the sound of their voice, wishing their mouth would stay shut every time they breathed. Say now, that you don't even like this person. Worse yet, you have your entire life savings and livelihood investe…

Neighbor's relationship freezes (along with their driveway) over plowing dispute: 'Some people be super lazy'

In rural areas, it's not uncommon to have long individual or shared driveways that aren't serviced by public services, instead being completely up to the owner/s to maintain. This can present some tricky situations for the unprepared in areas that regularly or irregularly receive heavy snowfall, where they might wake up one morning and find themselves unable to leave their home.

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

Having noisy neighbors is bad enough, but it is even worse when those noisy neighbors are college students. The noise of college parties only, especially when you are trying to sleep, could probably get you to move out in a matter of days. Plus, trying to get those kids to stop is even harder to deal with, so you would have to suffer in silence until it is late enough to call the police. It doesn't just end in loud parties. In this Reddit story, a man who lives in a mostly student area shared a…

'You don't know what you're talking about': Family informs neighbor property lines haven't changed in 110 years after she tries to claim more land as her own

Neighbors can be a real headache, even (or especially) when you are living in the suburbs. How dare you back into their driveway for 3 seconds? Why aren't your Christmas lights up yet? What have you done to those flowerbeds? So many questions, or rather, demands. Why can't they just focus on their own lives? Maybe they're bored, or they just like making other people miserable. This Karen was quite the challenge, and she approached her neighbors angrily a few times over the fact that people kept…

'I looked at him, laughed, and turned off the snow blower': Neighbors watch as dude shovels their shared driveway for five hours

Snow shoveling is hard work, but these neighbors don't care. If they can be cozy in their home while this OP does all the heavy lifting, that's perfectly fine with them.

Snow is heavy and bulky, so you get sweaty and tired out instantly. The dude in this petty revenge tale didn't shovel for just an hour or two. No, instead, they had to clear out their driv…
