If there was ever a perfect example of “cutting off one's nose to spite one's face,”—this is it, with this neighbor pursuing a need for vengeance to the point where the only thing they assured was their own downfall. It's like poetry; it rhymes. This construction superintendent found himself facing the wrath of a Karen neighbor at the worksite that they were overseeing. The neighbor was determined to hamper their construction progress by filing illogical complaints with the city inspector. Not…

Neighborhood disputes have been raging over boundary lines for eons and over parking disputes for at least several generations, but recent advancements in technology, making cameras readily available for lower prices, have given us a new thing to feud over. We're decidedly on the fence on this one. While HOAs and their Karen board members can be insufferable and become one of the final bosses of suburban life—let's go back and take a look at the start of this issue. The neighbor didn't want a c…

Some buildings have assigned parking spaces for residents, which would solve a lot of issues, or so you'd think. In this case, one resident was unable to park correctly, as he constantly parked over the line, eventually denting OP's car. At first, before the denting occurred, OP was annoyed that his neighbor was constantly parking over the line, leaving OP little room to park. But after finding dents in his car, without a note, OP was livid. His neighbor was not only irresponsible, inconsiderat…

Be careful what you wish for… because you might get exactly what you wanted—even if it's not specifically what you had pictured. There's something about depositing our two-ton chunk of steel in a specific location that brings out the most primal traits in us, prompting territorial feuds between neighbors that inevitably escalate to ridiculous levels. Even if we technically have no ownership over that specific location, it still triggers feral rage when another monkey deposits their two-ton chun…

Contentious doesn't even begin to describe how people act about parking lots and getting the perfect spot. For many drivers, it's imperative to get a good spot, even if it takes some time of circling the lot, searching for a spot where no one else is parked too close. This lucky person, u/bizzzfire, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about a parking dispute. The OP writes that they were pretty sure they were doing the right thing by protecting their assigned spot, but after their interact…

This guy is unbelievable — he doesn't even know his neighbor's name , yet he wants her to cook for him? On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, there are dozens of posts each day where people try to ascertain if they're a jerk or not. While there's usually some nuance to these scenarios, this guy is just a massive jerk, and he ended up getting told as much by a bajillion commenters. As u/AwayPerformer wrote, he's a single 31 year old living in an apartment complex, and he recently got a new neighbor…

Laundry room etiquette isn't something you can learn from a book or read in a magazine. You learn about laundry rules from being in the trenches at the laundromat, slinging quarters for an extra 15 minutes to nuke your clothes and still have them come out a little damp. The fury you feel after experiencing a laundromat faux pas is what teaches you right from wrong.

Nosy neighbor Mildred has a lot of time on her hands, and she knows exactly how she wants to spend her days. As u/kathjoy shared to r/pettyrevenge, their friend has a majorly nosy neighbor , Mildred, who couldn't be any more uptight. “Her hobby was reporting her neighbours to the police, HMRC (UK equivalent of the IRS), immigration, and of course the VOA,” the OP writes. And what was Mildred so upset about? One neighbor got a new car, so she reported that. Another time, she thought a child didn…

Just a pro tip for those of you looking to enjoy the comfort of an outdoor fire this summer… If there's already a nearby forest fire raging, throwing out enough smoke to choke your entire region of the country... just don't. Don't do it. Find something—anything—else to do instead, just as long as it doesn't involve starting a non-metaphorical fire in a literal tinderbox. With large swathes of North America being drowned in the smoke of forest fires every summer in recent memory, it would just b…

No good deed goes unpunished—as the Original Poster of this story has noted. At times it feels that any attempts to bring a little goodwill into the world will be taken advantage of. When this woman invited her neighbor to partake in the fruits of her herb garden, she wasn't expecting them to harvest the entire dang thing. The woman had been using this same arrangement with another neighbor with great success. The other neighbor frequently repaid her with “beautiful” roses from his own garden w…

It's all well and good to want things to be fair. After all, things being unfair—well… isn't fair. But, if you demand fairness, you'd better be well and truly sure that you actually deserve more than you're already getting. Otherwise, you might very well end up with less. Conflict emerged when this neighbor's kid demanded that he receive "half the money" from a bake sale when he decided he was bored and wanted to go home early. He wasn't even willing to stay the full duration and put in the wor…

If you can't beat ‘em… join ‘em—with as raucous of a racket as you can possibly manage. That’s what these property owners decided to do when faced with ridiculously restrictive rulings of their HOA.

Have you ever had a neighbor so foul that you imagined all the horrible things you might say to them if given the chance? Some folks love that sort of confrontation, while others prefer to take a stealthy, covert approach to their revenge. In this case, one couple got some serious revenge on a bad neighbor in the most passive aggressive way: Snail Mail.

Dealing with trashy neighbors is never fun, and dealing with your trashy neighbors' trash is even less so. The worst part of these disagreements is you're forced to exist in often close quarters with these people as their entitled actions repeatedly infringe on the peace of your existence. It can be hard to ignore, especially when their literal garbage is spread out in front of your house or through the neighborhood. As these engagements sink to pettier and pettier levels, there's no telling wh…

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...

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…
