"[She is] majorly in need of a personality transplant."

"I'd put up tow zone signs and put the tow truck driver on retainer."

"This was the last time she was parking in my driveway, period."

There's a price to relying on the kindness of strangers, especially if you're the kind stranger. After all, what would you do if your 55-year-old neighbor, who was recently evicted from her apartment by your landlord, knocked on your door one night with no place to stay? Would you not succumb to your decent impulses and let her crash on your couch, even if it's just for one night? Unfortunately, in this instance, it was far from just one night. This lady hadn't had another place lined up despit…

It has got to be tough living next to the president of your local homeowner's association. Not only do you have to go out of your way to engage in trading fake niceties every time you see them, but also you have to deal with the paranoia that they are watching you at all times. Unfortunately for these new residents , who had just moved to the neighborhood, their next-door neighbor really was watching them at all times. In fact, he almost immediately started issuing violations regarding their ba…

Everyone likes free stuff, and what's not to like? It's free! However, some people really like free stuff—like, really, really like free stuff—and they'll go to great lengths to ensure they get it, even fighting dirty and using tools such as guilt and anger to do so. This is one of the reasons why it's, unfortunately, best not even to bother offering free stuff online; you're bound to be inundated with people who have too much time on their hands and are combing buy/sell pages trying to be the…

Part of the responsibility of setting rules is that you have to follow them. It is inconvenient, to be sure, but all you really need to do to avoid that inconvenience is make sure that you're setting fair rules that everyone, including yourself, should be following for the betterment of everyone affected. Everyone despises their HOA , but undoubtedly, rules like this are important when it comes to the fair enjoyment of your own space. No one likes to hear unnecessary noise from a neighbor. It's…

Neighborhood parking disputes have a way of unraveling quickly into lasting grudges: passive-aggressive notes and relentless attempts to get even for perceived slights. Living in close proximity to other people requires tact, understanding, and communal goodwill. It's surprising how many people don't get this or otherwise refuse to engage in simple pleasantries and goodwill. And it really baffles the mind how many people seemingly feel entitled to their neighbor's property and simply refuse to…

Cars and the parking of them is just one of those things that's always going to cause issues… When it comes to where you're looking to leave your one-ton hunk of metal on wheels, everyone has their own ideas about where you should or shouldn't, regardless of whether or not their ideas are in accordance with any actual laws or rules… Even if you're parking in front of your own home, there's bound to be some neighborhood busybody around just itching to tell you that you shouldn't do it. That's wh…

The proof is right there...

Simply declaring something to be true doesn't automatically make it so… and if you want to use your neighbor's property as your personal parking space, you can't just tell them that you've decided it's community property. Therefore, you have the right to park there. Some people just don't take no for an answer, and it's pretty clear here that this neighbor has some serious boundary issues, both conceptually and literally, that weren't going to improve without facing some consequences. If you gi…

Some folks need to mind their own business

She gave "cat tax" a whole new meaning!

Stealing has its consequences.

"They have 8-10 people living there with a car for each person so that means more spaces are taken on the street every day..."

Most people have had fantasies of enacting some sweet vengeance on their landlords. Let's be honest: most of the time, that revenge would be earned. Whether it's raising your rent to an unnecessary amount or ignoring your incessant requests to repair that leak in your ceiling, you could probably spend hours talking about all the reasons why your landlord deserves some sort of comeuppance. Here, we have the resident of a duplex who had recently gotten into gardening. Unfortunately for the Reddit…
