What do you think about this situation? So, a married couple is living together and expecting a baby together. Her husband was previously married with kids until he divorced his ex-wife after she cheated on him. The husband let his ex and kids stay in their fully paid-off home, and he moved out. Fast forward a bit, and the ex loses the house and is left with no money (we're still a little confused about how that happened). She's now in an apartment. The OP's husband wants to buy her another hou…

Would designers really build a house that no one could enter ? The internet was wondering that very question about one house in particular. This home is located in Florida, home of all things quirky and kooky. It's a beautiful home, and it's conveniently raised up on stilts (since, you know, Florida floods constantly). However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the listing doesn't seem to include a set of stairs into the home. The listing, posted by @ZillowGoneWild, notes that you have to climb t…

One HOA keeps changing the neighborhood rules , and one car collector keeps being affected by the changes. It's almost as if the HOA dislikes having a car collector living in their jurisdiction! Car collectors sure do get into their hobby. Lots of people enjoy buying cars that are fixer-uppers, then spending weekend after weekend putzing around and working on it. It's a fun group activity too---if your friends come over, they can pop the hood and stand around and look at the car with you. Then,…

Nobody likes when unwanted visitors just ‘stop by’ their house. Usually the perpetrators of an impromptu visit are judgy mother-in-laws, Jehovah's witnesses, girl scouts, and that one pyramid scheming soccer mom you can't seem to shake. To get rid of unwelcome guests, we've come up with smart ways to ward them off, usually starting with polite excuses and escalating our dismissals into snarkier, more underhanded jabs...

Neighborly arguing is bound to happen when property lines get fuzzy, and the truth becomes a prize to be sought after, even though one side is clearly bending it to their favor. I have had my fair share of neighborly disputes, whether it was because some people were simply very loud, inconsiderate, or entitled. Unfortunately, I did not win every case, but the ones I did are etched in my memory like a 1st grade participation award. In this case, the OP was dealing with the type of person who thi…

Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean your neighbor has ten dogs ? This person shared a malicious compliance tale, and buried that rather surprising fact in the story. Owning one or two dogs is pretty usual. Lots of people adopt one dog, decide the pup has been getting lonely during the day while they're alone, and then they'll get a second dog to keep that one company. Owning ten dogs is certainly out of the ordinary! That must be a full time job to feed, groom, walk, and play with an whole squad…

One dude took ‘neighborly kindness’ too far when he wrote a bunch of letters asking neighbors to donate him a house and sent them off, obviously unaware (on a core level) how outrageous his request was. One neighbor, u/SirHoneyDip, shared the letter to r/EntitledPeople, and the content of the letter was frankly, hilariously entitled. Some people really don't have much going on up there, do they? Asking people for favors is one thing, but asking people to buy you a WHOLE HOUSE? While being unemp…

Sneaky people try to throw you under the bus , grinning from ear to ear while they do it, having no shame or care for the consequences their actions will hold for you. And this HOA president was one sneaky man, indeed. One person took to u/maliciouscompliance to explain how the president's plan backfired, resulting in his own resignation… But let's not get ahead of ourselves quite yet, as this story begins with OP, buying a large chunk of property over 30 years ago, with a plan to farm it. Inst…

Landlords often escape their responsibilities by… not being responsible and ignoring tenants' complaints, duh. Of course, there are some good ones out there (we appreciate you), but the number of landlords I have personally gone through that would not answer my calls in regards to leaks (during a rainy season, no less), moldy ceilings and issues with running water are a dime a dozen, so I can relate to the OP. What happened? Well, u/upset_pachyderm had the displeasure of renting from a landlord…

When selling items online, you are bound to encounter some choosing beggars. To be a little more concise, a choosing beggar is when one person has unreasonable expectations while attempting to haggle a price. I've sold a couple of items in my lifetime and am almost always met with some kind of resilience from the other side. Usually, when I am introduced to such a haggler, I make an effort to say as little as possible and just make it clear that the sale is not gonna work out. Because when thes…

Landlords are the scum of the Earth. They hike up the rent 10% every month, they paint over your electrical outlets, and they're clearly under the impression that the entire world exists for their profit. They'll scam their tenants out of anything if it means making an extra buck– At the risk of losing our residence, is there any way for us tenants to retaliate?

Buying and selling homes is a fun chess game played by the rich. Regular people don't play by the same rules in life, so usually we get pushed out of the market, but sometimes, a regular Schmoe gets the upper hand on the feudal land owners trying to make a quick buck on a short sale.

This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike. OP writes that the work was demanding, but it was worth it, because most people were truly grateful for the helping hand. Not everyone can move their own belongings, and even if you can,…

This sailor is sticking to the honor code to help people in his community. Not everyone agrees with his hands-on methods, though. The people of the internet are divided over this guy's grandfather's story of malicious compliance. It's a classic tale of landlord versus tenant. Unless you live in a rent stabilized building, your landlord can charge you basically whatever they feel is fair for rent. This is a big problem these days, since many of us are priced out of living in even the most modest…

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…

In case you haven't learned this already, it's your landlord's world and you are unfortunately living in it. Yes, in this day and age, it seems like landlords are becoming even more unnecessarily powerful than they should be and are capitalizing on that power as much as they can. This collection of top landlord stories from Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit only brings back haunting memories of my first New York apartment, the unstoppable ceiling leakage, and the unsolvable roach infestation. B…
