neighbors

The idea behind a community board like Next Door is a noble one, with the goal of fostering a sense of belonging and whatever, but more often than not it just turns into a venue for people to air their fears and grievances. Also a place for old ladies to freak out about cars that drive by once at 3 pm.

For anyone that's ever dealt with navigating the tender nature of a shared laundry room, and tried to ensure that your clothes don't get messed with, this one's going to hit close to home. Laundry is time-sapping and irritating enough without someone messing up your process. This person got caught red-handed, and ultimately was dealt the kind of petty revenge that had to have taught them a lesson. 

This entitled neighbor had it coming their way after they threatened a family and their dogs over some noise being made, at a perfectly legal hour! The real problem here was if the neighbor really had such a problem with dogs parking, he shouldn't have moved into a dog-friendly apartment in the first place! You set yourself up for the meltdown, man. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was a jerk for asking his neighbor "Katie" to factor him in for her daily homemade meal regimen. Apparently he lost one of his part-time gigs and not being able to afford takeout, figured this was the next best bet. My dude, begging your neighbor for cheap homemade meals is not the way to handle business. Sounds like she was offended, and can you really blame her?

It sounds like these neighbors were just hoping for the day they'd get their fence burned down by some careless fool. They went ahead and tried to collect big time from this guy, and ultimately fund a trip to Hawaii. However, the judge's moral compass was intact, and they ended up walking out over $9K in debt. 

This hot headed neighbor with a nasty temper got caught up in acting a proper, aggressive fool; and fortunately the camera was there to capture the act. Gotta love it when a crappy neighbor gets his comeuppance. 

When this person subjected themselves to a nasty stench with hopes to "outstink" their problem neighbor who wouldn't stop feeding an army of pigeons, they earned a pro revenge. Temporary discomfort for an eventual win. Nicely done if we do say so ourselves.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This neighbor was illegally extending his property line into protected land and got nailed for it. Had he been nicer to his neighbors, he may not have been completely screwed, but hey, he flew too close to the sun. Sometimes when people take up too much space, the universe calls on someone to mess with them, like this guy who got petty revenge on a selfish parker with a fake note.

Never underestimate a rancher when it comes to pro revenge. This guy took a sweet and satisfying, and very impressively calculated revenge on some neighbors that were giving him trouble over some petty BS. It came down to property lines, and a mere 6 inches. Those 6 inches ended up costing them their peace of mind. Queue up the terrible stench of tons of pig excrement. They ended up moving out in response to the overwhelmingly horrible smell. 

We've got a good old-fashioned tale of revenge meets neighbor wars here, folks. It sounds like the savagely named, "Megab*tch" neighbor was crossing all kinds of literal lines, when she went ahead and hammered long and dangerous nails into the family's fence. Apparently the motivation behind this was so that she could hang some potted plants. Her mean and blindly selfish attitude certainly didn't help things. 

This neighbor boldly took things into his own hands when he found himself dealing with a crowd of unruly neighbors that refused to acknowledge his requests for them to respect his private property. He maintained a cool and calculated demeanor and wasn't phased by a cop who was in on the whole thing too! 

As far as petty revenge cases go, this one is something else. A woman in Manhattan Beach had her house painted pink with a couple emojis from an angry neighbor who was taking their revenge after being reported for a short-term rental. Short-term rentals are illegal out in Manhattan Beach. The LA Times reports that Kathryn Kidd had to pay $4,000 in fines after being reported for using her property as a short-term rental. 

Honestly though, there's no denying that this petty revenge is just plain brilliant. What a genius way to tell your neighbor to mind their own business. 

Every second this guy managed to keep the gift card scammer invested in his own little act of trolling, he spared another person from having to deal with a scammer. Top-notch work indeed. 

These OCD-riddled neighbors were being toxically invasive. It sounds like they were trying to micromanage what this guy did with his property, and specifically had a serious bone to pick with him about his dog's unavoidable bathroom breaks. Long story short, they get so triggered that they threaten to hurt the dude's dog, so he retaliates by planting an army of weeds in their garden under the cover of nightfall. This is just the kind of strategic revenge that we love to see. Doesn't sound like anyone was hurt. Just a whole lot of frustration.
