'She was livid': Woman fills apartment with carnivorous plants to spite her vegan roommate

Not all vegans out there subscribe to the stereotype of the intense activists who try to force others into their beliefs. However, as you probably know, there are exceptions. Take the case of a woman who shared an apartment with her vegan roommate. Initially, their relationship was cordial; the OP respected her roommate's dietary choices, and there was no awkward tension between the two. But things quickly did a 180.

'We have decided to grant you two days': Anonymous neighbor group pens note protesting decorative plants

A group of 14 neighbors apparently banded together to write an unintentionally funny note . There's at least one person in this neighborhood who is absolutely incensed over fake plants . Fake plants are optimal for people who are constantly forgetting to water their plants, or just don't want the responsibilities of watering them all the time. Other people just like the look of plants that appear bright and blooming year-round. Not to mention that many fake plants really do look like the real t…

'It was time to protest the overreaching HOA': Teacher hires lawyer to save his pecan tree

'It was time to protest the overreaching HOA': Teacher hires lawyer to save his pecan tree

When you find your dream home, you may have to put up with an HOA. Home Owners Associations are a “necessary and unavoidable evil” when buying a home, as the homeowner in this story knew all too well. It's all well and good to say, “Just avoid buying a home in an HOA area, how hard could it be?” Well, pretty difficult, actually. Depending on the town you want to live in, your U/JMP817 shared their favorite malicious compliance story ever, which happened to be enacted by their high school teache…

'I'm not driving 250 miles to look at some soil': Gardener shares wildflower seeds with a fellow hobbyist, they demand an in-person follow up when the seeds don't grow

Gardening is a challenging, yet rewarding, hobby that some people were born to do. However, if you're as horticulturally hopeless as I am, you'd know that it's a gift to have a green thumb. Personally, I'm the kind of gal who accidentally kills every house plant that crosses the threshold of my home and I am certainly not a green-thumbed individual– but at least I know my limits when it comes to garden work!

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

There is no such thing as a 'green thumb'… Tending to a garden takes a lot of effort and knowledge, and if you don't put both in, it will show. Now, imagine you were a greenhouse know-it-all who brought home a pot of herbs you had carefully cultivated throughout the months, and then your landlady ripped them all out because she liked the pot you put it in. If that sounds a little too specific, that is because it is. The OP shared on r/pettyrevenge the story of the summer that her landlady did e…

'My neighbors wanted to call a professional... my parents agreed': Man chops neighbor's plants down, then decides to get their property line assessed

This is not the neighbor you want living right next door to you. When you're young, you never understand why people care so much about their plants. Who cares about a bunch of dumb flowers if they're blocking the path you want to bike through? But as an adult, I totally get why people are so precious about their plants . It's because they're fragile in a bunch of different ways. If you pull a flowers' petals, it's done for. If you forget to water it for a few days, it'll do a dramatic wilt. If…

'[HOA] said that sunflowers are not allowed': Guy enlists lawyer's help to get even with HOA, maliciously complies with contract by planting corn

Imagine being a lawyer and having someone walk into your office with a problem about sunflowers. That's right: this guy's axe to grind with his HOA was all about the row of sunflowers he wanted to plan outside of his house. This story serves as yet another example of why HOAs merely exist to cause drama, enforce silly rules, and watch you suffer the consequences. It's like having to endure adult detention, but the rules are even more ridiculous and even less clear. However, this man seemed to h…

'We watched as he took down his fence': Residents' malicious compliance cost their neighbor $10k and a big chunk of his yard

After moving into a new neighborhood , these residents planted lots of plants, only to find them chopped down almost immediately. No wonder the parents of the OP, u/BalloonUnderstudy, were completely furious! It takes a special kind of dude to chop down living plants just to be petty. But for some people, like the neighbors in the OP's story, claiming the rights to their own property supersedes everything else. After all, that's a horrible way to welcome new people to the neighborhood . It also…

'Karen was fuming and muttering incomprehensibly': Small mom-and-daughter plant shop win battle over Karen thief throwing a tantrum

Running a small business is not an easy task. It's takes diligent planning, constant budgeting, sacrifices, and many many ups and downs. It helps when you are working with someone you know you can survive anything with. In this particular case of a small plant shop, it was a mom and daughter. The mom owned the shop and the teenage daughter worked there with her. The mother-daughter-duo was working beautifully and some would even say it seemed to be a bonding experience. Especially when those ex…

If there’s one living thing to pay attention to this Earth Day, let it be your long-suffering, much-neglected plant. You know, that thing sitting on the windowsill in your living room? It was probably a housewarming gift from your Aunt or something when you first moved into that apartment all those eons ago. Well, that plant has feelings too, and it probably also needs some water. Unless, of course, it’s a succulent, which we don’t doubt since your Aunt probably didn’t trust you to be responsib…
