'I better not see any of your garbage on this sidewalk ever again': Guy gets back at neighborhood kids for tossing junk over their fence

'I better not see any of your garbage on this sidewalk ever again': Guy gets back at neighborhood kids for tossing junk over their fence

Kids will be kids, but also petty neighbors will still be petty! In fact, there is perhaps no greater rivalry than a group of rebellious kids and a disgruntled adult neighbor with a knack for being petty. We empathize with this neighbor's predicament here because not only were these kids repeatedly littering just for the fun of it, but if their parents weren't going to teach them a lesson, who was? If not now, when? Am I right, reader? This dude started to discover piles of trash on the sidewal…

You've got to respect your neighbor's wishes . Many a neighborhood would be more peaceful if everyone could do that!

During the fall, they'll help you rake and bag your leaves. During the warmer seasons, you'll usually find them outside spreading soil for their plants, or watering their neighbor's vegetable garden wh…

‘Have fun driving on ice for the next few weeks': Snow shoveling neighbor gets back at woman in neighborhood, refusing to plow her driveway

When you do someone a favor, the last thing you would expect them to do is to be ungrateful. After all, you don't owe them anything, and you are simply doing something for them out of the goodness of your heart. So it makes no sense that the woman in this story was so out of left field with her kind neighbor, who at first, was happy to plow her driveway after seeing it was covered in 12 inches of snow. Driving over the ice that was soon going to form would be no easy task, and this man decided…

'She couldn't get it out': Lazy neighbor pays the ice when her car gets snowed over after stealing her neighbors' already cleared spots

In stories, when a character has done something wrong or displays a glaring personality flaw, there's generally a direct price that is played at some point in the story, usually soon thereafter. In life, there are relatively few times when the lesson or moral to the story of your wrongful actions is quite so clear. No, usually, we get away with being generally lazy, cruel, entitled, or plain old wrong for far too long before that karmic pendulum swings back in our direction… sometimes, we may e…
