"The best way to deal with a thief is to get a little creative."

This neighbor even kept part of the costume for herself!

With progress comes expansion, and with expansion comes development… the bounds of society creeping beyond where they once were, bringing with them change. We'd like to think that this change is always good, but the reality is that it's not always for the better. Opportunists will be right there waiting to strike when the shifting sands of time and change bring them the chance to take advantage. When this couple bought their dream piece of land out in the middle of nowhere, they completed the p…

"Our across-the-street neighbors also have approximately 6 cars: 3 in their driveway, 2 inside the garage, 1 they park in front of the curb by my house."

"It took him a solid week to figure out why his car wasn’t moving."

Someone call the EPA!

There's nothing better than being in your own home and experiencing what it feels like to be utterly and completely alone, with no one around to perceive you, judge you, or otherwise consider your existence and what you might happen to be doing. Hanging out enjoying a peaceful afternoon doing some home maintenance outside, and suddenly your ears are bombarded by an infernal whirring outside as if 10,000 angry bees have suddenly descended upon the peace you were enjoying, and looking up, you see…

"They didn't even offer to give it back after not letting us get it, they just took it and used it."

"When I pull into my driveway, I see a big red sign that says ‘(my address) MAINTAIN YOUR PROPERTY, LOOK AROUND, EVERYONE ELSE DOES. TOWN TAKE NOTICE.’"

How's this for lawn care?!

"Children and toddlers run the roads here, and the parents encourage it."

"What happens now is that for the last 3 months I’ve been doing her dirty laundry, and she had the audacity to ask me to wash her clothes in the sink with a natural soap because my machine is giving her allergies according to her."

That's the thing about buying a house: you can do all the research you want, but you never know what the neighbors are going to be like until it's too late. You can spend countless hours touring all the homes for sale in your city until you finally find your dream home, only to have that dream crushed by a couple of entitled neighbors.
