All this Redditor needed to do in this scenario was get out some popcorn, pull up a chair, and watch.

Here's a friendly reminder to always be sure you're right before starting a feud with your neighbor.

Be careful what you wish for… because you might get exactly what you wanted—even if it's not specifically what you had pictured. There's something about depositing our two-ton chunk of steel in a specific location that brings out the most primal traits in us, prompting territorial feuds between neighbors that inevitably escalate to ridiculous levels. Even if we technically have no ownership over that specific location, it still triggers feral rage when another monkey deposits their two-ton chun…

What are you to do if you happen to move into a place with a level-10 Karen neighbor? A level-10 Karen means she has already surpassed leaving passive aggressive notes, attempts to break into your house like she owns it, and now even the police know not to take anything she says seriously. Unfortunately, she only does just enough to threaten you, but not quite enough to actually get arrested. So what do you do? For one TikToker and her family, this meant war. A family—a wife, husband, and 5-yea…

No good deed goes unpunished—as the Original Poster of this story has noted. At times it feels that any attempts to bring a little goodwill into the world will be taken advantage of. When this woman invited her neighbor to partake in the fruits of her herb garden, she wasn't expecting them to harvest the entire dang thing. The woman had been using this same arrangement with another neighbor with great success. The other neighbor frequently repaid her with “beautiful” roses from his own garden w…

Idiots have the uncanny ability to work themselves into petty positions of power, which they then rule over with an iron fist, completely ignorant of the fact that absolutely no one takes them seriously or even wanted that position in the first place. One could attribute this undeniably overly prevalent idiot phenomenon to possibly being due to the individual's complete and utter lack of self-awareness. For, one needs to be aware of one’s own actions and place in the world before one can begin…

If you can't beat ‘em… join ‘em—with as raucous of a racket as you can possibly manage. That’s what these property owners decided to do when faced with ridiculously restrictive rulings of their HOA.

Have you ever had a neighbor so foul that you imagined all the horrible things you might say to them if given the chance? Some folks love that sort of confrontation, while others prefer to take a stealthy, covert approach to their revenge. In this case, one couple got some serious revenge on a bad neighbor in the most passive aggressive way: Snail Mail.

HOA's are a pain in the rear. The idea of an HOA is great– have a collection of live-in leaders get together once a month to improve the building and the property they live in– but nowadays they rarely operate like that. In fact, HOA's are so useless that they can't even do simple upkeep without first lining their pockets for profit. One man decided to take a stand against a crummy HOA board by taking the most epic petty revenge of all time.

Looks like they got what they deserved!

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…

Dealing with trashy neighbors is never fun, and dealing with your trashy neighbors' trash is even less so. The worst part of these disagreements is you're forced to exist in often close quarters with these people as their entitled actions repeatedly infringe on the peace of your existence. It can be hard to ignore, especially when their literal garbage is spread out in front of your house or through the neighborhood. As these engagements sink to pettier and pettier levels, there's no telling wh…

Nobody likes an unreasonably noisy neighbor. Renters with thin walls and even thinner patience have struggled for millennia against inconsiderate neighbors and there's a point that they start to think that the neighborhood is simply improved with the surgical removal of disruptive folks. One grad student spent one too many sleepless nights with rage in his heart that he finally took (semi unethical) action against his neighbor...

Some neighbors will never see eye to eye.

You reap what you sow, and when you cherry-pick rules, don't be surprised if those disproportionately affected by them dig up some dirt and lead you down the garden path… This gardening uncle became the target of his HOA for violating their 'no fences' regulation after his Karen neighbor reported him for the small half-foot high picket fence that he placed around his garden. The HOA regulation was supposed to pertain to enclosing fences only, but the HOA's strict interpretation of their regulat…

Having immature neighbors who engage in petty games of warfare or who otherwise just don't care about how their actions are affecting other people is the worst… and you know things are bad when a newborn baby isn't the most immature participant in the dispute. This neighbor refused to heed reason and repeatedly blocked their new parent neighbors in their own driveway, meaning the parents had to miss multiple appointments for their newborn, as they could not leave their home. After pleading with…
