It may just be the city that never sleeps because no one wants to miss the next crazy New York moment. No one ever said that New York was the right place for everyone to live. It's too expensive, the people can be intense, and you're more likely to witness something absolutely nuts than something picturesque or romantic. In short, if you're a New Yorker, you know that one moment, you could experience one of those astounding moments of gratitude to be living in such a historic city. But then the…

We've all learned one critical thing from scouring the Internet for entertaining stories of petty revenge–Never start a feud with your neighbor.

This responsible citizen was browsing through Zillow when he stumbled upon something odd. He noticed a house that was clearly a flip due to the short amount of time between its original purchase date and its relisting for sale (around two months in total). It was obvious that no one was residing in the house. Still, the house flippers were attempting to pull a fast one on the community by listing the property as a primary residence despite that it clearly was not.

These city people had a lot to learn about life in the country . A few years back when everyone was stuck indoors for a year or so, lots of people couldn't handle it. Especially for city dwellers, being cooped up inside made it feel like we were trapped. For people who had the money to do so, moving to the countryside seemed like a great solution. They could be properly isolated from others while actually having space to roam around, garden, or take walks. But since this was such a last-minute…

This home is a gardener's paradise. With two gardens enveloping their family home, this person shared that their family tended to their yard each and every day. So they must have been quite confused when their city reached out to them to condemn the way they were maintaining their lush lawn . Those who have space for a garden have an amazing resource at their fingertips. Alongside growing veggies and herbs for meals, you can plant a variety of flowers or shrubs to make your yard look and smell…

Selling things online is a fickle business. It starts off fairly simple, you post an ad along with your contact info. You get a couple of replies, maybe get ghosted once or twice, perhaps a prank phone call or two. But the world of online business is a strange one, and it is bound to bring some pretty strange people to your doorstep if you are not careful. Here, in this case, OP posted an ad for a computer, stating the price of 900. Not one minute later, OP got a phone call. At first, everythin…

It costs zero dollars to mind your own business. Natural disasters caused by hurricanes, windstorms , and floods are no joke. They will destroy a house with ease, leaving the residents to clean up the mess. Depending on your location, you might have to deal with natural disasters all the time. For example, places like New Orleans or the Florida coastlines are subjected to hurricane conditions and flooding on a yearly basis. For people in these areas, rebuilding can be a consistent effort. This…

The bustling pace of urban life is often seen as an affront to those who have only known the relative peace of pastoral living. The two lifestyles are presented as opposite sides of the same coin, with neither capable of existing with the other—on account of the fact that the encroaching bounds of metropolitan life dissolve the countryside like a seltzer tablet in a glass of water. This story originated from a user who claimed to have found it in a comment on a different Reddit thread, neglecti…

These two neighbors completely disagree over who's responsible for keeping a yard clear of debris. Having friendly neighbors is a blessing, but this dude is more concerned with a giant woodpile. Instead of having someone next door they can count on, their neighbor has been flipping them off constantly. One of these neighbors, u/brushpileeyesore, came to r/AmItheA**hole to complain about their issue with the guy next door. OP writes that their neighbor had a tree removed, but even after several…

A new guy in town learned to be careful what he asks for from his neighbors . As u/Doriantalus shared, they grew up on a dariy farm, where they have a typical farm lifestyle . That means waking up at the crack of dawn to start farm chores — cows need to be fed and milked at specific times of day, so it's important that the farmers are consistent. The OP's dad sounds like a really nice guy. OP writes that each winter, he would wake up before chore time — around 3 AM — in order to plow every neig…

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes. Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act “trad” (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have…

Every so often, you come across a landlord tale that actually turns out alright for the tenant in the end. This update was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/Upbeat-Poem-1284 , who shared that after putting in several requests for almost a year and after several attempts at completing those repairs went wrong (see the original poster for details), the Redditor and their roommate decided to stop paying rent. According to OP, it is within the tenant's rights in their city to withhol…

Water department workers totally underestimated this woman who just wanted some work done at her house. The OP, u/Angrycat11111, shared her story to r/pettyrevenge, and as she tells it, she was trying to install a shutoff valve in her house. Since the house was a bit old, the OP had a problem. She wanted to turn off the water in her house, but that isn't as easy as it sounds at this house. She called the water department to shut her water off since it was impossible to do without their help. Ho…

Fresh out of the dystopian reality.

Prepare to lose some brain cells.

It's a pretty honest mistake.
