'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…

'I put his on vacation hold': Neighborhood trash battle results in unexpected vacation

Dealing with trashy neighbors is never fun, and dealing with your trashy neighbors' trash is even less so.

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…

'I got my neighbor evicted': Grad student snitches on his noisy neighbor to the HOA, getting him evicted as revenge for ruining his peace

Nobody likes an unreasonably noisy neighbor.

One grad student spent one too many sleepless nights with rage in his heart that he finally took (semi unethical) action against his neighbor...

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…

'They had to move': Woman gets her neighbors evicted following their excessive complaints

Feuds between neighbors have nothing but losers—the sanctity of existence being continually besmirched by your arch-nemeses constant and continuous close proximity. The persistent presence of something so infuriating is enough to drive even the most level-headed people to insanely petty lengths, which is probably why there is no shortage of stories online where bad neighbors have driven each other to the bitter ends of sanity. Apartments can be especially bad for this; with so many people cramm…

'What price do you put on peace of mind?': Trashy neighbor throws garbage over fence, guy buys the house they're renting just to evict them

Disruptive, rude, trashy, and entitled neighbors can make the serenity of time at home into a living nightmare—especially when they're literally throwing their trash over the fence into your yard. Unfortunately, there's not often a whole lot you can do to rid yourself of this behavior—unless they're blatantly breaking laws or covenants. But if you actually had the means to buy your peace and serenity back… would you? As the original poster of this thread asks: What price would you put on peace…

'I will fill your car with snow': Guy gets ice-cold revenge on a parking spot stealer during actual blizzard

There's snow-where to run and snow-where to hide from the ice-cold vengeance that's coming your way after you steal the parking spot that someone has spent hours digging out in a freezing tundra of a historic blizzard. Sure, there may not be any legalities surrounding the claimant's claim to a dug-out spot, but when you've lived in areas that get this much snowfall, you know—and respect—the code. If you choose to dishonor the code, there's no telling what might happen to your vehicle. The sheer…

'Sweet sweet revenge': HOA unjustly tows stepdad's car, faces threat of endless parking applications

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 be 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 to…

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.
