Sounds like a power-hungry money grab.

There's a lot going on in this world to make you feel fearful and pessimistic about humanity and make you wonder just what the heck it is that we're all doing here. You see stories about this online every day, feeding into the pessimism, driving the wedge, or just basking in the misery. Well, this story isn't one of those stories , all we have here is a wholesome interaction between neighbors. No boundary disputes, parking battles, or petty HOA board members—just a simple, congenial, and neighb…

This situation sounds like every kid's dream and every neighbor's worst nightmare. If you spent ages begging your parents for a pool or a trampoline as a kid, you're not alone. It's a common experience for kids who want to get their energy out and spend countless hours swimming or bouncing with their friends. Of course, as a kid you probably aren't aware of what the neighbors think about you bouncing on a trampoline for hours every day, or splashing around loudly in a pool doing cannonballs wit…

How long can you live somewhere before you officially call your home? Six months? One year? Three years? It all depends, and that's why u/Holiday_Review_8324 asked the internet to decide if they were in the wrong for kicking out their houseguest . This person shared that they and their fiancee share a home with Amy. Amy is the original poster's sister, and she's been living with them since she was a teen mom (she now has a few kids). After living in a home for four years, you'd probably conside…

You never really know what kind of neighbor you're going to get until it's too late. For some, it's a friendly wave and a chat over the fence, but for others, it's dealing with an entitled Boomer who thinks he's owed your plants. That's right—one woman found herself in the middle of peak neighbor drama when her Boomer neighbor demanded she dig up her own garden and hand over the plants just so he could spruce up his yard. You've got to hand it to him for the sheer audacity. Not only did he ask…

As a gardener at a super fancy house , this person was accustomed to big events. They shared that at this place in Massachusetts, they worked on a home that was used for movie shoots and fancy events for the uber-wealthy. U/B****ndogs was pretty used to the demands of the extremely rich : they mentioned that at one point, they were instructed to rake the beach to make it look more even. ("No, it never made a difference," they admitted.) Working with the very wealthy can be lucrative business, j…

This woman had some questions for a local gardener —if only she had been a little nicer about it. The older I get, the more my respect grows for people who do physical labor. To say it's hard work is an understatement. Have you ever watched a garbage collector work for a minute or two as they toss bag after bag of trash into the truck, and then you realize they do this impressive feat for eight hours straight ? The same goes for landscapers and gardeners. Though some of them use riding mowers,…

This neighbor keeps sneaking around at 2 AM to vandalize other people's properties. Maybe every neighborhood has a person like this: the one who pilfers from people's garages, or takes other neighbor's tools and won't return them, or, like this dude, disrespects people's property . It's one thing to steal inanimate objects. But this guy felt it was appropriate to go around chopping down plants ! Plants are living things, and they take a long time to grow. They're not so easily replaced… and eve…

You reap what you sow in life– and that's never more true than when we're literally talking about gardening.

This person already didn't love gardening, but then their neighbors started stealing from them … That just made the situation even worse. A lot of folks find gardening to be a peaceful way to connect with nature. The pros are that you get to watch living things grow, and if you're lucky, you'll get to eat the literal fruits of your labor. Even if all you grow is a handful of string beans or a few teensy tiny tomatoes, they taste better because you're the veggies' parent. You raised it from seed…

Gardening is a challenging, yet rewarding, hobby that some people were born to do. However, if you're as horticulturally hopeless as I am, you'd know that it's a gift to have a green thumb. Personally, I'm the kind of gal who accidentally kills every house plant that crosses the threshold of my home and I am certainly not a green-thumbed individual– but at least I know my limits when it comes to garden work!

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…

There is no such thing as a 'green thumb'… Tending to a garden takes a lot of effort and knowledge, and if you don't put both in, it will show. Now, imagine you were a greenhouse know-it-all who brought home a pot of herbs you had carefully cultivated throughout the months, and then your landlady ripped them all out because she liked the pot you put it in. If that sounds a little too specific, that is because it is. The OP shared on r/pettyrevenge the story of the summer that her landlady did e…

Unless you live in a secluded spot in the wilderness, you are constantly gambling with whom you end up neighbors with. Maybe you end up next to LeBron and Roberta, those cool, laid-back neighbors who always have sugar handy when you run out. But, perhaps you wind up living next to Ken and Karen, the type of entitled folk who either grew up without any manners or never properly picked them up because of some kind of fluke in their personality. Unfortunately, u/controversial_jelly ended up with t…

When these landscapers got a referral from one customer to another, they had to explain some important caveats. Unfortunately for the landscapers, these clients were not happy with the deal they were going to get. Referrals are really important to many companies. In recent years, there's even a big incentive by lots of brands to tell your friends about their product. How many times have you gotten a friend to sign up for a random product just so you can get a discount? Or, if you're crafty, you…

Imagine being a lawyer and having someone walk into your office with a problem about sunflowers. That's right: this guy's axe to grind with his HOA was all about the row of sunflowers he wanted to plan outside of his house. This story serves as yet another example of why HOAs merely exist to cause drama, enforce silly rules, and watch you suffer the consequences. It's like having to endure adult detention, but the rules are even more ridiculous and even less clear. However, this man seemed to h…
