I live in an apartment downtown of a capital. It’s still fairly quiet as the bedroom side of it faces the little port we share with our neighbours instead of the street. Well.. it WAS quiet until our shitty neighbours moved in. They own a dog that barks desperately all the time, and two annoying little girls that literally scream bloody murder outside in the port in the mornings, just screaming as loud as they can, seemingly for fun, and nobody stops them until we shout out the window for them…

What kind of neighbor complains about a problem that they fully started? Unfortunately, this seems to be an all-too-common occurrence. This Redditor and her husband had been living in a family-owned cottage for over ten years that included a private outside shower that they would occasionally use after a swim or an especially hard day of work. This was never a problem with anyone else in the neighborhood, as they probably didn't even know about it. However, when a Karen moved in next door, she…

Having terrible neighbors is never fun—as we've covered many times… Noisy, inconsiderate, selfish neighbors make the barest existence unmanageable as it is, but when you have neighbors who are properly messing with your property, even going as far as to steal from you… that is crossing some serious lines. You'd hope that it would never come to this, as when things get this bad this close to home, there's no way no one is walking away without any proverbial bruises. And unless the offenses are d…

Karens better beware in case they're dealing with this woman. Not only was she able to successfully file a restraining order against her neighbor Karen, but she also informed her employers and got her fired. That's A+ level sabotage right there. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and as many folks in the comments section pointed out, it is much more than your standard petty revenge story. It all started when this new neighbor Karen started throwing loud pool parties un…

For this week's edition of the top five Karen stories, we're bringing you lots of neighborhood drama and cruel customers. Thankfully, for many of these Reddit stories, the folks who were at the receiving end of all this nonsense were not afraid to clap back. Here's a little preview of what we're dealing with here: (1) we've got an entitled neighbor who doesn't like the noise from people locking their cars at night, (2) there's the Karen with a meat allergy who surprisingly took issue with a BBQ…

This HOA member had a personal vendetta against her neighbors. It seems like this is one of those stories of neighbors who have bad blood. Oftentimes, a small issue will spark an argument that goes unresolved. Then, over years or even decades, a feud between neighbors begins until eventually they're nemeses. These fights can get so personal — because they're your neighbor, they probably know your work schedule, who you live with, and any number of other personal tidbits about your life. The sto…

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…

You can't have your cake and eat it too… and you should never voluntarily take a piece of an HOA's cake. For, that cake comes with a price—a blood price—that will bind you to their covenants and leave you vulnerable to petty powertrips from their bored aged board members who will go to any lengths to ensure that not a single blade of grass is out of line. About 10 years ago, this guy and his wife moved into a suburban neighborhood that had a community pool, which was only accessible to members…

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…

We've all heard plenty of stories about shady landlords, but what about when the tables are turned? It's hard to remember that there are some landlords out there that are just regular people and that there are some tenants out there who are to blame for ridiculous living situations. Sure, sometimes it's the landlord who ignores a tenant's pleas to fix a serious roach infestation or to solve a roof leakage issue (yes, these are all things that happened to yours truly). However, every so often, t…

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…

Here's a friendly reminder that if you're not a fan of the color of your neighbor's house, too bad! It's none of your business! This Kevin detested the Redditor's new house color so much that he tried to form an HOA and pass rules to force his neighbor to change the color. Talk about someone with way too much time on his hands. If this guy had a job or responsibilities or some semblance of a social life, none of this drama would have unfolded the way that did. Unfortunately for the Redditor, ho…

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…

Now I'm not saying that cutting down your neighbor's tree based on a verbal agreement is a bad idea (it is), but if you've ever gone down the internet rabbit hole of “tree law” you'll know that it's serious business with potentially astronomical consequences.

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…
