Cars and the parking of them is just one of those things that's always going to cause issues… When it comes to where you're looking to leave your one-ton hunk of metal on wheels, everyone has their own ideas about where you should or shouldn't, regardless of whether or not their ideas are in accordance with any actual laws or rules… Even if you're parking in front of your own home, there's bound to be some neighborhood busybody around just itching to tell you that you shouldn't do it. That's wh…

Getting stuck with bad neighbors is a reality that many of us would never wish upon another person. You move in, hoping for polite waves and the occasional shared snowblower, not a self-appointed BFF who thinks you're their personal handyman. You want to be kind and neighborly, sure, but when the requests start coming in daily—sometimes multiple times a day—it’s a whole different story. And some people take it as even more of an invitation to bug you throughout the day if you work from home. Pe…

This snow shoveler knows they were being petty towards their neighbor , and they do not care one bit. In some parts of the world, snow days are still quite common. Some storms can dump buckets of the white stuff, leaving people to dig out their cars while their kids build snow forts. Shoveling a driveway or digging your car out can take ages. You have to scrape the snow from the windshield, dig out the tires, scrape the ice from the door handles, and after all that's done, you still need to dig…

What is the purpose of homeowner's associations if not to stir up unnecessary trouble? We have seen countless stories where HOAs enforce ridiculous rules and regulations just for the sake of flexing their muscles, yet we have rarely seen a group of neighbors band together in support of one of their own, who successfully got rid of a ridiculous new policy. In this scenario, the HOA in question randomly decided to require that several members of the neighborhood replenish their decks and landscap…

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…
