The people who refuse to deal with their own problems, and resort to calling the authorities whenever something mildly inconvenient happens to them, are the people you should stay as far away from as you possibly can. But, if you cannot stay away from these people, for example, if they are your neighbors, then you might want to consider giving them a taste of their own medicine. Say your neighbors decided to call the cops on you because you wanted to help them out by clearing some trash out of…

"What happens now is that for the last 3 months I’ve been doing her dirty laundry, and she had the audacity to ask me to wash her clothes in the sink with a natural soap because my machine is giving her allergies according to her."

Home is supposed to be a sanctuary. We all want to have a place where we can kick off our shoes after a long day of work, put our feet up, eat dinner with our families, throw parties, play in the yard with the kids, and spend time with the ones we love. It's supposed to be the one place you can relax and be yourself… but not if these strict HOAs have anything to do with it. Homeowner's Associations are like the hall monitors of the adult world. Their whole job is to keep the neighborhoods looki…

That's the thing about buying a house: you can do all the research you want, but you never know what the neighbors are going to be like until it's too late. You can spend countless hours touring all the homes for sale in your city until you finally find your dream home, only to have that dream crushed by a couple of entitled neighbors. Neighbors can really set the tone of your daily life, for better or for worse. You might expect it to be like the movies, where you move into a new neighborhoo...

"We live on a street with no sidewalks, so everyone has ditches for drainage. She never cleans her despite having huge trees dropping sticks and leaves into it, so her yard floods when it rains. She's blaming us for that."

What do you do when your neighbor expects to use your Wi-fi for free?

Sometimes, it's better to just leave well enough alone. By making an issue about what you “do or don't” have when you're, well… wrong—you're more than likely to end up with less than you started with in the first place. Especially, as it turns out when you're disputing what you think is the boundary of your new property… Because, as in this story, the neighbor who has been there for longer probably knows a thing or two about why that “boundary” was established in the first place As at any point…

Diving into the belly of the beast

Neighborhood feuds are never fun to be a part of but they are endlessly entertaining when you yourself are an objective third party. Here, it's obvious who was in the wrong, but at least the resident didn't allow his neighbor to walk all over him. For context, the resident in question hired construction workers to help with his roof project for his elderly father, who lived on his property. He had notified his neighbor well in advance about the construction work, and his neighbor agreed to allo…

In today's episode of "Boomer Karen Strikes Again," we have a neighborhood drama that's almost too ridiculous to believe. This time, our entitled Karen, armed with decades of self-righteousness, decided that her idea of a perfect Sunday should be everyone's idea of a perfect Sunday. So, what did she do? She went on a mission to enforce "quiet Sundays," marching up to not one, not two, but four of her neighbors, demanding they stop mowing their lawns immediately. While most of us are just trying…

Some kids need to learn things the hard way. Usually, we have sympathy on this site for kids who get unnecessarily scolded by tightly-wound adults, but this one is a different story. Here, we have a pair of misbehaving miscreants who kept picking on the Redditor's younger brother. When the Redditor confronted the kids in his brother's defense, he assumed this would be the end of it. Unfortunately, the kids made the reckless decision to get back at the Original Poster (OP) by throwing eggs at hi…

"He seems to be expecting this money from us. We are willing to pay a portion but I personally feel swindled."

Oh, the joys of homeownership.

This mastermind really committed to his payback. After moving into an HOA community and almost immediately getting violations (albeit unfairly) for not having a “green enough” lawn and for keeping his trash cans too close to his driveway, he decided to embark on some next-level petty revenge that ultimately managed to be the best thing for the community at large. Essentially, the Redditor decided to join the local homeowner's association and, one by one, plotted to replace the “bad apple” board…

His dog fell ill the last time he used weed eliminator spray.

“Slumlord” landlords really don't do much good for anyone. Sure, they “provide housing” in the barest sense, but really, their landlord is just an extra convenience for them in addition to the land banking they're partaking in, the fact that there happens to be a barely inhabitable We found ourselves living in one of these places just out of university, desperate to find any available housing with our lease expiring and new jobs set to start. It was a pretty dingy building in an otherwise nice…
