Friendly reminder to never steal your neighbor's greens!

Homeowners had some sage advice to offer to the Reddit community about what it's like dealing with nosy neighbors, property issues, and going to the hardware store 857 times for a single project. For many people, switching from renting to owning a home can seem like a major upgrade . You have more space, maybe you have a lawn and some friendly neighbors , and you can have parties and barbecues whenever you feel like it. What's the catch? Well, owning a home means you have to care for the house…

Sharing a washing machine and a dryer with your neighbor is less than ideal. Kind of like having a roommate that you have to consider each time you do… well, anything in your own home. If they are using the washing machine, you just gotta patiently wait your turn. Not everyone was raised with these basic manners, and that is where you can find yourself in some deep, dark, murky waters where the word revenge starts rampaging your brain quite a bit. While scrolling r/pettyrevenge , I came across…

The audacity of some people has never failed to surprise me. Granted, my neighbors can wreak absolute chaos for no apparent reason (maybe they're bored?) but I'm speaking more generally. Whether you bump into a Karen at the supermarket when all you wanted to do was buy a couple of tomatoes for the pasta you were planning on making later on, to receiving brutally honest (and frankly, unasked for) comments on the street from people who may not be aware that they aren't exactly doing you a favor.…

How well do you know your neighbors? Maybe not as well as you might think. The Nextdoor app is a good way to get a feel for a neighborhood, at least based on the various complaints that people post there. While the app is supposed to be a way to connect to your fellow residents to sell items, advertise events, get to know the area, or address community issues, not everyone uses the app as it was intended. In fact, sometimes it seems like most people misuse this app — and that results in some si…

An entitled neighbor and your driveway… Name a more iconic duo. I'll wait. It turns out that when you're having problems with a wildly entitled neighbor, you're probably not the only one. It's probably worth asking around the neighborhood to see if the Karen's wild actions have been unleashed upon them also. When this problematic neighbor Karen distributed notes claiming that she was going to use this Redditor's driveway over the Christmas period, the Redditor shared the exchange to Reddit's r/…

An excellent sign of an obliviously entitled person is someone who refuses to control their pet. Fido might be your best friend, but that doesn't mean you should be letting it roam endlessly onto other people's property or taking off the leash at an explicitly leashed park. It's not often that people actually return to take accountability for their actions on the internet. We're so set in our ways, polarized in our beliefs, and utterly convinced we're right that we tend to struggle to take othe…

We're often told in life that we should always do the right thing, but what is one to do when the right thing is also wrong? Perhaps, this quandary is the best way to consider the situation at hand in this story. This guy has taken to pettily trolling his rich Karen neighbor, who is infuriated by the fact that public works have just completed a project that has added a road connecting her upscale neighborhood to a poorer one. It's pretty safe to assume that this Karen is probably just one of th…

Once in a while, you come across someone who you decided to mess with and who you absolutely should not have messed with. Notable entries to this list who come to mind would be John Wick (seriously, leave the guy's dog alone), Master Chief (Grunts don't call him “The Demon” for nothing), Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino (who inspired the intro quote), and Granny (park in her space at your own peril). These individuals all have the common trait of displaying a laid-back outward demeanor that doesn'…

I swear, Karens just live for lawsuits.

There's an old saying that's continually relevant to customer service: The squeaky wheel gets the grease; it's true, more often than not, following up consistently with a service provider (and being generally bothersome) will net you a faster result than those who wait silently. Most people choose to do this by obnoxiously demanding service but obnoxious or not, it's always important to be polite. Being polite, maybe firm, when necessary, will always net you a better result than being a bellend…

How did the leasing office not figure this out on its own?

There's a whole lotta left leaves going on in this thread, and we're left wondering why a company whose entire existence and sole purpose is collecting leaves is so bad at doing so. You wouldn't expect a leaf collection company to operate like city parking enforcement agencies — which are, without exception, the most useless organizations on the planet. Well, expectations aside, this leaf collection cartel is hilariously particular about what leaves they will collect and where. Any leaves that…

Whatever belief, culture, lifestyle, or background you come from or follow, there's a unifying ideal that we should all abide by: Treat others with respect. You never know what someone else has had to endure, what they've managed to make it through, or what trials and tribulations they face or have faced. This is why that whole “not judging” thing is so prevalent and important in belief structures ("Do not judge, or you too will be judged") — who are you to think yourself worthy of passing judg…

Ah, the entitlement never ends!

The existence of other people can be — well — kind of a downer. Nothing spoils the enjoyment of the pleasant dawning sun, with a hot cup of coffee in hand and pleasant birdsong in the air, like being reminded that other people exist. Barking dogs, honking cars, or yelling neighbors puncture tranquil morning thoughts and pull you right back into a bleak and bitter reality of continuance. But a barking dog, honking car, or occasional dispute is far from the worst thing one can experience when liv…
