The proof is right there...

“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…

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..."

Better get started on that privacy fence budget!

This dude really thought he had a golden ticket to getting a brand new fence . Some people are just opportunistic like that. Instead of being a kind neighbor, this guy could only think about himself and what he stood to gain from a collapsed fence. Owning your own home is a luxury, but it does come with a few drawbacks. One of these is that if something on your property breaks, you're the one who has to solve that problem. If your roof leaks, you've got to get up on the roof and patch it. Or ma…

"Her daughter comes and puts up a security camera pointing into our garage area and backyard... So of course my husband now intends to get 3 more cameras for that side of the house to freak her out even more."

"They were being bullies and calling us pathetic, kids are kids, we are the grinch..."

It's often said that you should never stoop to someone else's level and, instead, take the high road and go on to live a better life, beating them through their inability to affect you. Well, truth be told, that's not really all that much fun, and it's not very practical at times since it doesn't really solve the immediate problem at hand. And when that immediate problem at hand is your daily at-home parking situation—well, it's kind of hard to just walk away and ignore it since, you know, you…

"I had to ask him last fall nicely to remove all the leaves he blew up against my house for an entire winter and then he took that as permission to trespass and blow leaves around my entire house."

A few months back, a woman’s next-door neighbor, Karen, decided to start teaching yoga classes in her backyard. At first, it seemed harmless enough—just a few mats by the fence. But soon, the “backyard” yoga sessions started creeping over into her neighbor’s lawn. Before long, Karen’s entire group of yogis was taking over half of her neighbor’s yard every Saturday morning. When the neighbor politely asked Karen to keep her classes to her own side, Karen just laughed, saying, “It’s all one big...

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things—even when the relationships are fairly “traditional” and straightforward. Let's be honest, though: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the ones that pretend

"Even if he really is correct about it being a minute amount of money, that means that it shouldn't be any problem for *them* to pay it."
