Neighbor parks in homeowner's front yard declaring it to be a "community parking area," gets towed :'She parked in my front yard'

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…

Non-HOA homeowner refuses to take down holiday lights because of HOA rules: '[I] told her to just get off my property... I've just had enough'

Bah-humbug! This HOA member is getting coal in her stocking after spending an inordinate amount of time bothering someone who isn't even in her HOA. Up next, have a laugh at some of these bakery mistakes and messed-up cakes, like one person who shared what happened when “the bakery department tossed seven different types of unproofed dough into the composting bin overnight.”

'Wrecked my landlady's flower garden': Duplex resident discovers landlady stole from her garden, she enacts petty revenge

Here, we have the resident of a duplex who had recently gotten into gardening. Unfortunately for the Reddit…

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

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…

Neighbor's kids sneak into resident's pool despite him refusing them repeatedly, leading resident to put up a fence to stop them from getting near the property: ‘You got fenced’

Neighbor's kids sneak into resident's pool despite him refusing them repeatedly, leading resident to put up a fence to stop them from getting near the property: ‘You got fenced’

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…

'My neighbor freaked out... that he had to replace it:' Guy confronts neighbor after his fence collapses and tells him he'll tattle to the city if he doesn't get it fixed

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…

Neighbors accuse resident of stealing after she throws away their packages that were delivered to her house, resident gets warned about being scammed: ‘They guilt you into paying them off’

Neighbors accuse resident of stealing after she throws away their packages that were delivered to her house, resident gets warned about being scammed: ‘They guilt you into paying them off’

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…

'Granny on a mission': 82-year-old grandmother fights grandkid's Karen neighbor for tossing debris into their garden

This resident's step-grandmother deserves a shoutout! After all, she had the chutzpah and the audacity to confront her step-grandkid's Karen neighbor after she repeatedly treated him like poorly and thought she could get away with it.

'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

Resident gets fed up with workers blocking his driveway with cars, so he cleverly blocks them in return, leading to a dispute when they try to leave: ‘I completely lost it at them’

If you live in a private house, you must have had at least a few problems with other people blocking the entrance to your house, specifically your driveway. In areas where parking spots are few and far between, you might constantly find yourself bickering with neighbors about who can park where, and that can drive anyone up the wall. Nobody can blame the resident who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) for how they handled a similar situation with the construction workers in the neigh…
