Be nice to your neighbors, you never want to end up in a feud. From Hatfield and McCoy's to Karen and Kyle and every other lovely person you could meet, it's best to make cookies, not war.

Young couple gets payback on entitled neighbor after he repeatedly trespasses property: 'I’ve honestly never seen somebody shut up so quickly'

Young couple gets payback on entitled neighbor after he repeatedly trespasses property: 'I’ve honestly never seen somebody shut up so quickly'

When young couples move into a neighborhood, it's no surprise that some of the lifers in the neighborhood will roll their eyes at the “new blood.” That being said, this entitled neighbor, whom the Redditor refers to as Tim, really thought he could get away with ongoing manipulation, endless plotting and scheming, and frequent trespassing of property without any repercussions. Young folks may be new to the neighborhood, but that in no way means that they are willing to be used and played around…

'Neighbor said it wasn't any of the city's business what he did to his yard': Entitled homeowner faces heavy fines for outrageous landscaping despite neighbors warnings

This entitled neighbor had some extreme plans for his landscaping, which included removing massive trees, constructing a 10-foot fence, and leveling the ground extensively. However, his actions did not sit well with his neighbors, the HOA, or even city officials. Despite receiving multiple warnings from his well-meaning next-door neighbors, he refused to consider their advice, believing that his entitlement gave him the right to do as he pleased. Little did he know that his next-door neighbor...

‘You don’t own this street': Demanding neighbors claim ownership of neighborhood parking, man parks a broken-down car in front of their house for 6 months straight as payback

‘You don’t own this street': Demanding neighbors claim ownership of neighborhood parking, man parks a broken-down car in front of their house for 6 months straight as payback

Living in an area with little to no parking spaces can get extremely frustrating very fast. Having to wander around the street for 15 minutes after work just to find a parking space, which is usually at least another five-minute walk back to your home, is a routine none of us want to go through. That obviously leads to people sometimes parking in front of other people's houses, simply because that is the only free space they managed to find. Now, I get that this could be annoying for the people…

Homeowner writes scathing note to HOA Karen who tried to tow their car from in front of their own home: 'She called the cops on me'

Constant proximity to other people—without any recourse or avenues for escape—is maddening. I guarantee, if you were locked in a room, even with your favorite person in the world, it wouldn't take long (and even less time than you'd think) before you'd grow sick of the sight of them and tired of the sound of their voice, wishing their mouth would stay shut every time they breathed. Say now, that you don't even like this person. Worse yet, you have your entire life savings and livelihood investe…

'They decide to move forward with their project anyway': Famous architect tries to strongarm neighbors' project, neighbor calls multiple boards to report him

While you're choosing your home , maybe you should consider the nature around you. That seems like pretty obvious advice, no? Well, if you're wealthy, anything is possible. For the right price, you can have your dream house with everything you desire, even if it's ridiculously inconvenient to make that happen. This person had a wealthy neighbor who felt that way. This guy had a humongous budget of $12 million to spend on his property renovation. That's a staggering amount of money for most peop…

Neighbor's relationship freezes (along with their driveway) over plowing dispute: 'Some people be super lazy'

In rural areas, it's not uncommon to have long individual or shared driveways that aren't serviced by public services, instead being completely up to the owner/s to maintain. This can present some tricky situations for the unprepared in areas that regularly or irregularly receive heavy snowfall, where they might wake up one morning and find themselves unable to leave their home.

‘I don’t appreciate the passive-aggression’: Hypocritical roommate spars with tenants over dirty dishes and petty sticky notes

‘I don’t appreciate the passive-aggression’: Hypocritical roommate spars with tenants over dirty dishes and petty sticky notes

Sure, passive-aggressive behavior is not the ideal way to handle an awkward roommate situation, but sometimes, it's the most effective way to make your point heard. If the person with whom you share space has unrealistic expectations of you, you are bound to upset them. Now, if they themselves cannot meet their own expectations if the roles were reversed, then it's about time to give that person a taste of their own medicine.

Neighbors trade petty notes after noise complaint: ‘I genuinely hope the guilt that response [elicited] haunts this woman for decades’

Neighbors trade petty notes after noise complaint: ‘I genuinely hope the guilt that response [elicited] haunts this woman for decades’

Having a difficult neighbor in a claustrophobic apartment building can make your living situation nearly impossible. As soon as someone is accused of making too much noise, people can get petty and defensive really quickly. For instance, a friend of mine had an upstairs neighbor who stomped around constantly at 3 am every morning. As soon as he was kindly asked to be quiet moving forward, the neighbor argued he was stomping because he was trying to tell her to quiet down. This, of course, was h…

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

Having noisy neighbors is bad enough, but it is even worse when those noisy neighbors are college students. The noise of college parties only, especially when you are trying to sleep, could probably get you to move out in a matter of days. Plus, trying to get those kids to stop is even harder to deal with, so you would have to suffer in silence until it is late enough to call the police. It doesn't just end in loud parties. In this Reddit story, a man who lives in a mostly student area shared a…

'You don't know what you're talking about': Family informs neighbor property lines haven't changed in 110 years after she tries to claim more land as her own

Neighbors can be a real headache, even (or especially) when you are living in the suburbs. How dare you back into their driveway for 3 seconds? Why aren't your Christmas lights up yet? What have you done to those flowerbeds? So many questions, or rather, demands. Why can't they just focus on their own lives? Maybe they're bored, or they just like making other people miserable. This Karen was quite the challenge, and she approached her neighbors angrily a few times over the fact that people kept…

'I looked at him, laughed, and turned off the snow blower': Neighbors watch as dude shovels their shared driveway for five hours

Snow shoveling is hard work, but these neighbors don't care. If they can be cozy in their home while this OP does all the heavy lifting, that's perfectly fine with them. Out of all the outdoor chores, shoveling snow is a lot of people's least favorite task. At least when you rake leaves, they're pretty light! Snow is heavy and bulky, so you get sweaty and tired out instantly. The dude in this petty revenge tale didn't shovel for just an hour or two. No, instead, they had to clear out their driv…

Anyone with neighbors knows how delicate the relationship between the people in the neighborhood is. Not only between those who live next to each other but also between all the different service providers that come to the neighborhood once in a while, like mailmen and delivery workers, street cleaners, etc. To maintain that relationship, you don't have to Love Thy Neighbor, but you do have to have respect for one another, and don't get into each other's business.

Thinking outside the box is this neighbor's specialty. What's the worst thing your neighbor's ever done ?
