The only thing worse for a neighborhood than Airbnb is a soulless home-flipper

The proof is right there...

Unless it's the John Waters movie starring the incomparable Divine, no one should come home to 50 pink flamingos in their parking space. That is, unless you're this dude's neighbor, who clearly got what he deserved. The two residents live in an apartment complex with a garage underneath that has designated parking spaces for those living in the building. Yet for whatever reason, this neighbor did not care about the clearly demarcated spaces and decided that he was going to use the Redditor's pa…

“The law is the law,” this person bragged as they made their neighbor replace his whole entire fence . Sometimes the impulse toward pettiness can pay off! U/Sospuff has an awful neighbor who is making a big fuss over the fence the two of them share. It's not an ideal situation: this person has three kids, and the neighbor has a dog that the original poster believes poses a danger. It's understandable that this person would want to protect their kids. However, as they shared in a post to r/petty…

As a gamer myself, and having lived with other gamers, once that mechanical keyboard gets clacking and the team call-outs start rolling in intense moments, it's going to be noisy for everyone else around you. With absolute certainty, when you're intently focused on something, you underestimate the amount of noise you're making. In the early hours of the morning, these sounds are amplified by the relative quiet of the world around us. And when you add paper-thin walls to the equation, you're goi…

Simply declaring something to be true doesn't automatically make it so… and if you want to use your neighbor's property as your personal parking space, you can't just tell them that you've decided it's community property. Therefore, you have the right to park there. Some people just don't take no for an answer, and it's pretty clear here that this neighbor has some serious boundary issues, both conceptually and literally, that weren't going to improve without facing some consequences. If you gi…

Some folks need to mind their own business

She gave "cat tax" a whole new meaning!

Stealing has its consequences.

"They have 8-10 people living there with a car for each person so that means more spaces are taken on the street every day..."

Most people have had fantasies of enacting some sweet vengeance on their landlords. Let's be honest: most of the time, that revenge would be earned. Whether it's raising your rent to an unnecessary amount or ignoring your incessant requests to repair that leak in your ceiling, you could probably spend hours talking about all the reasons why your landlord deserves some sort of comeuppance. Here, we have the resident of a duplex who had recently gotten into gardening. Unfortunately for the Reddit…

As much as society likes to push people to become homeowners, and keeps emphasizing how important it is to own a property, being a homeowner is also a lot of pain. Especially if you have to rent out the home you own to others. Here at FailBlog, as much as we enjoy judging landlords, we fully understand that being one cannot be easy. That is why sometimes when a dispute arises between a landlord and a tenant, we tend to agree more with the landlord. Take the homeowners in this Reddit story as an…

Some people grow up in big houses with a front and back yard, and a lot of space. Other people, mostly due to location and not necessarily because of money, grow up in an apartment, with a few rooms, maybe a balcony, and a lot of neighbors. In my family, one of our favorite discussions is which one is better when it comes to having neighbors. For some reason, having neighbors in an apartment building is not as annoying as neighbors who live in a house next to yours. We can't explain it, but the…

Better get started on that privacy fence budget!

This dude really thought he had a golden ticket to getting a brand new fence . Some people are just opportunistic like that. Instead of being a kind neighbor, this guy could only think about himself and what he stood to gain from a collapsed fence. Owning your own home is a luxury, but it does come with a few drawbacks. One of these is that if something on your property breaks, you're the one who has to solve that problem. If your roof leaks, you've got to get up on the roof and patch it. Or ma…

It is funny how nothing stops you from having packages delivered to any random house, as long as you know the address. There is little to no reason to do so, but if one wants, they can send anyone anything with only a few clicks on their phones. Apparently, some people have packages delivered to other people's houses as a form of scam—they send the packages to another house, wait a few days, arrive to claim those packages, and then, if the person who received them already threw them out, they a…
