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.

'The yellow line is where my responsibility ends': Woman "pushes her luck" to get groundskeeper to cut back all her weeds

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,…

'The plants [were] completely chopped down': Guy loses 1/4 of his backyard after repeatedly cutting down neighbor's plants in middle of the night

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…

'Karens keep stealing from my garden': Sneaky neighbors bring bags to 'grab and run' with their stolen veggies

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…

'I'm not driving 250 miles to look at some soil': Gardener shares wildflower seeds with a fellow hobbyist, they demand an in-person follow up when the seeds don't grow

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!

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

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…

'They pushed it too far': New residents demand to use neighbor's garden, bathroom and kitchen, while theirs is 'under construction'; neighbors refuse

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.

'I'm sure she won't be happy to hear about this': Florida family demands landscapers charge them each the same low rate, landscapers agree to 'hold to [their] word'

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…

'[HOA] said that sunflowers are not allowed': Guy enlists lawyer's help to get even with HOA, maliciously complies with contract by planting corn

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…

You reap what you sow, and when you cherry-pick rules, don't be surprised if those disproportionately affected by them dig up some dirt and lead you down the garden path… This gardening uncle became the target of his HOA for violating their 'no fences' regulation after his Karen neighbor reported him for the small half-foot high picket fence that he placed around his garden. The HOA regulation was supposed to pertain to enclosing fences only, but the HOA's strict interpretation of their regulat…

Talk about a scorched earth policy. There's no greater satisfaction than sharing the spoils of a garden or fruit-bearing tree… but reaching your hands through someone else's fence in the dead of night (or when you've carefully watched to make sure they're not home) is just downright dirty—and not in an “I've just been gardening” sort of way. Given this guy has no penchant for gardening, this may not be the case here.
