Update: Neighbors feud over 4cm of property: 'I'm going to make him replace his whole fence'

“We're talking 4cm [of property]," this neighbor explained, but the guy next door doesn't really care. Neighborhood feuds can be long-lasting affairs. This person knows that all too well, as they explained in two posts to r/pettyrevenge. A lot of their dispute stems from the fact that u/Sospuff's neighbor has an intimidating dog. You can tell these two have a long-standing beef because the neighbor trained his dog to bark at the OP's children! Now, when the kiddos head out to the yard to play,…

'You're on thin ice': Small town council complains about resident's dandelions and garden, so resident gets farm animals to 'mow the lawn'

'You're on thin ice': Small town council complains about resident's dandelions and garden, so resident gets farm animals to 'mow the lawn'

When you live in a small town, word gets around, and if you have beef with the city council, you had better giddy up for a long ride… of malicious compliance. One woman took on her HOA (that wasn't really an HOA, but more of a city council of sorts, as they were a small town) when they came with multiple complaints on different occasions about her property. The issue this woman had was not with their complaints, but rather with the fact that they did not bug any other of the neighborhood reside…

'GET OFF OUR PROPERTY AND NEVER COME BACK': Couple buys a house from an entitled Karen who refuses to leave them alone, haunting their property and trespassing for years after the sale

Nobody likes when unwanted visitors just ‘stop by’ their house. Usually the perpetrators of an impromptu visit are judgy mother-in-laws, Jehovah's witnesses, girl scouts, and that one pyramid scheming soccer mom you can't seem to shake. To get rid of unwelcome guests, we've come up with smart ways to ward them off, usually starting with polite excuses and escalating our dismissals into snarkier, more underhanded jabs...

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

'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…

'[It] was the end of the HOA': HOA president's plan backfires after recruiting landowner only to revoke his property rights, forcing president to resign after misidentifying property

'[It] was the end of the HOA': HOA president's plan backfires after recruiting landowner only to revoke his property rights, forcing president to resign after misidentifying property

Sneaky people try to throw you under the bus , grinning from ear to ear while they do it, having no shame or care for the consequences their actions will hold for you. And this HOA president was one sneaky man, indeed. One person took to u/maliciouscompliance to explain how the president's plan backfired, resulting in his own resignation… But let's not get ahead of ourselves quite yet, as this story begins with OP, buying a large chunk of property over 30 years ago, with a plan to farm it.

'They pushed it too far': New residents demand to use neighbor's garden, bathroom and kitchen, while theirs is 'under construction'; neighbors refuse

Unless you live in a secluded spot in the wilderness, you are constantly gambling with whom you end up neighbors with. Maybe you end up next to LeBron and Roberta, those cool, laid-back neighbors who always have sugar handy when you run out. But, perhaps you wind up living next to Ken and Karen, the type of entitled folk who either grew up without any manners or never properly picked them up because of some kind of fluke in their personality. Unfortunately, u/controversial_jelly ended up with t…

vacation vacationer rental rental-property host landlord airbnb travel reddit refund

'He [only offered] 10% off of a future stay': Vacationer gets denied a refund when his rental home becomes uninhabitable; guest goes straight to the top and gets 30% off

They say that by the age of 40, you should have a vendetta against at least one vacation rental company. For some reason, travel always make people turn extra greedy and with all this cash floating around, sometimes hosts of vacation homes lose a sense of genuine hospitality. In this case, one vacationer had to take justice into his own hands when his vacation stay went down the drain– literally.

Grandpa Builds Tallest House in Town for Family, Only to Drain the Equity, Leading to Foreclosure

Grandpa Builds Tallest House in Town for Family, Only to Drain the Equity, Leading to Foreclosure

When buying a property and beginning to build on it, you need a bunch of permits, and the house needs to pass inspection, which won't be possible if you don't build according to country code. But sometimes, if you're smart enough, you can dodge the rules, and make up some of your own. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's quite something. In this case, OP shared a story about his ‘shady’ grandpa, who according to OP, was a very smart man, but also, not the greatest person in the world.…

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…

'Get off my property!': Delusional Karen breaks into a military family's garden, threatening to run them out of town to acquire their property; police remove her, justice ensues, and the family lives happily ever after in their forever home

Military kids can all agree that moving sucks. After packing up your belongings for the 15th time before you even hit 8 years of age, the whole process starts to become numbing and the idea of a forever home becomes more of a fantastical dream than a reality. However, for some army brats, their dreams come true when their parents get stationed in a long term, or even forever, location.

‘Buy me a fridge, or I’ll fine you': Man builds shed on neighbor's property line, neighbor's wife demands new $2,200 refrigerator in exchange for property line adjustment

'Buy me a fridge, or I'll fine you': Resident pays neighbor $2,200 for new refrigerator in exchange for property line adjustment after he built a shed on neighbor's fence

Certain neighbors aren't especially keen on acting under your city's local zoning rules and regulations; often you find yourself in a bit of a pickle with people you have to see on a near-daily basis. This neighbor in particular built his shed that was supposed to be at least 10 ft from his OP's property line, right on his property line, a foot off his fence. OP approached this neighbor who had a ready excuse at the tip of his tongue, claiming that because of the slope of his yard and a drainag…

'Bro my rent is $2800, I ain't tipping': Audacious landlords suggest that their tenants should be tipping on top of their rent as a gratuity towards '24/7 services'

'Bro my rent is $2800, I ain't tipping': Audacious landlords suggest that their tenants should be tipping on top of their rent as a gratuity towards '24/7 services'

To landlords, there are a few easy solutions for every problem. Leak in the ceiling? Paint over it. Hole in the drywall? Paint. Are paint costs getting a little too high? Rent hike– it's time to charge your loyal tenants 15% more every month for nothing. If you've ever been a renter, you know that some landlords (most actually) can be huge jerks. For some reason, landlords take the ‘lord’ portion of their title a little bit too far and expect their tenants to act as fiefdom under their ruling,…
