Lawns are often a great attraction and target for entitled neighbors. It's almost like they have a magnetic pull, resulting in an obsessive fixation—one single blade of grass overgrown or out of place sending the neighbor over the edge. But let's be real, living close to people can be maddening—being that they're a constant presence in your everyday life that you had no choice or control over. We can choose our partner, our friends—even whether or not we want to see certain family members—but n…

Loud and inconsiderate neighbors can make existence miserable. Being unable to relax or get peace and quiet within the confines of your own home is grating and draining, really taking a toll on your mental health. This homeowner had his peace disturbed when his “sweet” neighbor's psychotic girlfriend moved in. The silence they once enjoyed was shattered with constant screaming, yelling, and fighting. This continued to escalate until the arguments turned to loud, inappropriate accusations. Havin…

Imagine having neighbors so bad they they're a part of the reason you move out… that's the reality for this couple, who wasn't going to leave without a little pettiness. Having bad neighbors really can be enough of a reason to want to move out of your place. When you live side-by-side with someone who's noisy or inconsiderate , much like these people, the clatter can interrupt your sleep and make your weekends a nightmare. These neighbors were so incredibly loud that the OP and their fiancee ha…

Homeowner associations are notorious for their tyrannical enforcement of bizarre policies that were drafted by a collection of the worst sort of neighbors who have nothing better to do but worry about what other people are doing. This story was initially posted by u/SpurredOneLastTime (OP) to the r/entitledpeople subreddit and then crossposted by a fascinated reader to the r/f***HOA subreddit community. The OP tells the tale of his ex-wife's final act of retribution that saw him embroiled in le…

Look at me… I am the homeowner now. When someone is caught in a lie, it's always surprising to see how far they will take it. You might expect the liar to give it up, admit defeat—and admit to their deceit. And yet, most liars have been lying for so long that they don't know how to turn it off. They'll continue building up the fabrication—even after their lie has been substantially disproven. Reddit user u/Top-Studio8028 posted this thread to Reddit's r/entitledparents, sharing a story that he…

Talk about a scorched earth policy. There's no greater satisfaction than sharing the spoils of a garden or fruit-bearing tree… but reaching your hands through someone else's fence in the dead of night (or when you've carefully watched to make sure they're not home) is just downright dirty—and not in an “I've just been gardening” sort of way. Given this guy has no penchant for gardening, this may not be the case here.

When “Get off my lawn!” evolves into “Get off the area adjacent to my lawn!” Maybe you shouldn't live next door to a school if you're this sensitive to the presence of children.

Wherever there are parking spaces or driveways… there are bound to be neighbors feuding over them. It's just one of those territorial behaviors that have been ingrained in us since the monkey times… Monkey get big cube of metal. Monkey need place to keep big cube of metal. Other monkey move their cube of metal. Monkey take other monkey's metal cube keeping place. Other monkey mad. This story plays out time and time again, with an irrational neighbor insisting on parking in another (slightly les…

Everyone is the hero of their own story: Where we see this neighborhood Karen as just that, she sees herself as a vigilante hero fighting for justice—a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a dark knight. Sometimes you die the hero; sometimes, you live to see yourself become the villain—sometimes still, you never were actually the hero in the first place. This Karen took offense to the fact that the neighborhood was throwing a Valentine's Day event for adults only, no kids invited. The Reddi…

Conflict emerged when this neighbor's kid demanded that he receive "half the money" from a bake sale when he decided he was bored and wanted to go home early. He wasn't even willing to stay the full duration and put in the work in order to earn his part of the cash. The other kid responded that this wasn't fair and that they should split the money earned for the duration that the neighbor's kid had worked. This prompted the neighbor to march over to this family's house, complaining that it wasn…

How well do you know your neighbors? Maybe not as well as you might think. The Nextdoor app is a good way to get a feel for a neighborhood, at least based on the various complaints that people post there. While the app is supposed to be a way to connect to your fellow residents to sell items, advertise events, get to know the area, or address community issues, not everyone uses the app as it was intended. In fact, sometimes it seems like most people misuse this app — and that results in some si…

An entitled neighbor and your driveway… Name a more iconic duo. I'll wait. It turns out that when you're having problems with a wildly entitled neighbor, you're probably not the only one. It's probably worth asking around the neighborhood to see if the Karen's wild actions have been unleashed upon them also. When this problematic neighbor Karen distributed notes claiming that she was going to use this Redditor's driveway over the Christmas period, the Redditor shared the exchange to Reddit's r/…

An excellent sign of an obliviously entitled person is someone who refuses to control their pet. Fido might be your best friend, but that doesn't mean you should be letting it roam endlessly onto other people's property or taking off the leash at an explicitly leashed park. It's not often that people actually return to take accountability for their actions on the internet. We're so set in our ways, polarized in our beliefs, and utterly convinced we're right that we tend to struggle to take othe…

We're often told in life that we should always do the right thing, but what is one to do when the right thing is also wrong? Perhaps, this quandary is the best way to consider the situation at hand in this story. This guy has taken to pettily trolling his rich Karen neighbor, who is infuriated by the fact that public works have just completed a project that has added a road connecting her upscale neighborhood to a poorer one. It's pretty safe to assume that this Karen is probably just one of th…

This neighbor is getting back at this Final Boss Karen in the best way she knows how: by posting her hilarious entitled antics to Reddit! The original OP, u/many_books_91, has been keeping the r/EntitledPeople subreddit updated with periodic stories. We've complied the entire saga below - and it's quite the long read, so grab a snack and cuddle up with a blanket! The OP has shared eight stories so far, and has recently updated once again. After you've digested these eight tales of Karen horror,…

There's an old saying that's continually relevant to customer service: The squeaky wheel gets the grease; it's true, more often than not, following up consistently with a service provider (and being generally bothersome) will net you a faster result than those who wait silently. Most people choose to do this by obnoxiously demanding service but obnoxious or not, it's always important to be polite. Being polite, maybe firm, when necessary, will always net you a better result than being a bellend…
