Patience is a virtue.

We don't take kindly to silly HOA rules ‘round these parts. You might say that this town ain’t big enough for the two of us! Seriously though, HOAs are a giant pain in the rear for just about everyone who's moved into their territory. A lot of first-time home buyers will find their dream home, fall in love with the property, and move in ASAP. But then when they arrive, they're told they'll need to pay hundreds of dollars per month to the local Homeowner's Association (HOA). Hundreds! Every mont…

These people are not thrilled with their neighbors' behavior . They decided to blast their next-door nemesis online, and people are quick to commiserate! Some folks are annoying neighbors without trying to be. They have the best intentions, but they don't think about the ways that their actions might impact the person living just a few feet away. For example, u/Medic979's neighbor has taken to leaving out tasty treats for the squirrels. Why's that an issue? Well, he's left out delicacies like l…

It's hard to imagine caring so much about the look of a neighbor's backyard that one feels the need to stir up drama. This entitled Karen essentially used their neighbor's adjacent backyard as their own frequently and without any complaint from the neighbor. However, after the neighbor caught a cold and needed to remain in bed for a week, the entitled Karen started having major issues with the status of her neighbor's lawn, so much so that she decided to call the HOA about it. Here is a rare in…

"Daughter dearest" gets the karma she deserves.

Heatwaves can make people crazy, but these Karens already were crazy to begin with… Look, when it gets this hot outside, people can be a little rough around the edges. After all, the height of summer means walking down one street and somehow encountering at least eight different scents simultaneously. It means coming into work sweaty and gross. And it means a ton of social obligations, some of which inevitably involve the most annoying people. So let's all give each other a break before we all…

As kids, many of us indulged in harmless pranks around the neighborhood—ding-dong-ditching, TP-ing, you name it. It was just part of growing up. Now as adults with our own homes, we've come to realize just how irritating these 'innocent' pranks can be. It's like karma has come full circle. However, one recent incident takes the cake in terms of annoyance factor. A particularly entitled kid has been repeatedly kicking his neighbor's house. Yes, kicking it.

No one likes the sound of construction in their neighborhood. Sure, it's necessary, but after a long day of work, the last thing you want to come home to is constant hammering and beeping from loud construction equipment. Even worse, when all that noise wakes you up in the morning before you have the chance to snooze your alarm. This guy lives in an area where there are rules for noise. Noise is allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and there is no construction or industrial noise on Sundays. Seven in…

It's hard to take an HOA policy seriously when there are glaring loopholes within the so-called “strict policy.” Here, we have a pair of new homeowners

It's not always fair to blame parents for the actions of their children, people are psychologically complex and each child is different and wildly unpredictable in their own way. Even the best of intentions and good parenting doesn't always yield the best results, plus—well, mistakes are just part of growing up and even adults are all still just learning as we go. Still, if you work with kids and meet the parents of a problem child, it becomes immediately clear when the problem is the parents.…

Buying or selling a house is a pretty stressful experience, there's a lot on the line and a whole lot of things need to line up for everything to fall into place. Plus, there's plenty of opportunities for someone to screw you over from the realtor to the seller/buyer themselves, so it's pretty easy to be on edge and understandable, at least, to want to control every aspect of the situation. Still, as with anything in life and especially in stressful situations and negotiations, approaching thin…

People who tend to procrastinate know how hard it is to complete even the smallest of tasks. That is why many procrastinators will testify that they find different methods to get themselves to complete their tasks. One of the most popular methods that people follow is the 2-minute rule – If the task is going to take you less than two minutes to do, don't let yourself ignore it or add it to your to-do list, do it immediately. That is what the neighbor in this Reddit story should have done, becau…

Assigned and paid for parking spaces are one of those things that will drive even the most sane and level headed among us to the brink—and we're not claiming to be even the most sane and level headed. The fierce competition that emerges for the limited parking spaces—with high costs associated—is intense driving tenants to extraordinary lengths. This exacerbated by the fact that apartment complexes with inbuilt garages never have enough spaces for each unit in the building often meaning that th…

There are two kinds of neighbors: the sane ones and the ones who will take any opportunity to boss other neighbors around. That's where HOAs come in. This HOA president went out of his way to try to fine the new neighbor for the ways in which he set up his backyard despite numerous attempts on the neighbor's part to explain that his house was not technically within the HOA. However, it seems like the stubborn nature of this guy clouded his better judgment, so he wound up using the HOA resources…

There are few first-world problems that will drive you as intensely mad as low water pressure. For those of us longing for a hot shower after a long day, there's nothing worse than stepping into the steam-filled room and being met with the pitiful trickle of water that isn't even sufficiently powered to blast the shampoo out of your hair. You've probably encountered this at accommodation while traveling. There's nothing like splashing out for a BnB or hotel suite only to realize that the shower…

At this point, the couple should legally be entitled to the land they've paid to maintain. When you purchase a large sum of property, you assume the legal documents are correct. Forty years ago, a husband and wife purchased five acres of farmland from the previous owners. They've lived on the land for the past four decades, paying insurance and taxes on the land, even paying thousands of dollars to repair old buildings that were part of the property, only to find out it didn't belong to them.
