City living is a different beast than other kinds of living; the high-density population leads to close proximity to other people at pretty much all times. Also, offering the unique opportunity to live in an apartment directly above a business like you're in some sort of 90s sitcom. While living in a sitcom sounds nice, the fact remains that in this type of living situation, even in your own bed, you're only really a few feet away from another person, either next to, above, or below you—separat…

If things like ‘cleanliness’ and ‘mutual independence’ are important to you, don't be like the Gen X couple in our next story who got stuck being a runaway 18-year-old's new mommy and daddy.

Who would be devious enough to devise an organized plan to kick their roommates out? This woman, apparently, who obviously has zero shame. The story is told from the perspective of her boyfriend, OP, who was living with her at the time that this all went down. He had a small inkling that she was cheating on him with a man she met at work. This man also happened to work at the apartment complex that OP and his girlfriend lived in. Why did OP think that she was cheating on him? Well, you know. Th…

Cool guys don't look at explosions. They blow things up and they walk away. We've all had this notion cemented in our brains since we were allowed to watch our first action movie, dreaming of the day that we could be as cool as James Bond, The Rock, or Denzel Washington. Well, my friends, there are some rare moments when we get to be the ‘cool guy’ in our own life, walking away from a (hypothetical) explosion and into the hall of fame for epic victories.

That's right, these neighbors seemed so entitled, we had to combine rude and obnoxious to make rudenoxious and we're not even sorry about it. Every now and then we come across a Reddit story where someone feels bad about what they did, but the further you read the more you realize the truth. That this person is just considerate and the person or persons making them feel guilty is actually the guilty one(s). Poor Redditor u/HJEANS was feeling remorseful for finding out that her 2 neighbors were…

They say, “You are what you eat." Who are they, you ask? What do they want, and why are they saying this? What are they eating? And what does that, consequently, make them? While all these answers remain unanswered maybe they should change what they're saying from “You are what you eat” to “You are what you throw over the fence into your neighbor's yard.” Still, whatever you're throwing, and no matter what that makes you, throwing something over a fence is always going to make you trashy .

Karen roommates are a dime a dozen, as almost everyone has had to deal with somebody who lacks basic practical skills and human decency. In this case, OP was sharing a two-bedroom with a roommate who he quickly found out was a Karen. Thriving on conflict, Karen always found something wrong to point out. She has given herself one hundred different labels, some of which include being a germaphobe, which she uses as an excuse to demand OP touch nothing… in his own home. OP said he was willing to t…

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...

Certain neighbors are well aware that they are being a pain in the neck but nonetheless derive some type of awkward enjoyment from it. Karma can be quite slow at doing her job, but the job gets done in the end, as seen in this particular case. OP told r/pettyrevenge about her neighbor who was hosting a guest on his front porch at 9 am. This neighbor was a long-time tyrant in their neighborhood, making noise, being rude to people, and unleashing his dogs onto other people's dogs. So it's no surp…

One of the few benefits of being a renter is that you are not responsible for maintaining a property's upkeep. However, that is simultaneously a huge downside if you have a chintzy landlord. If your unskilled landlord is a cheap, do-it-yourself type, you might find yourself constantly smelling methane gas, putting putty over leaks, and watching him paint over holes in the wall.

“He definitely owes you money.”
