"They've clearly brought this on themselves with heavy irresponsible water use."

"I seriously can't, I've had nightmares about this guy trying to open the **** front door."

For some reason, it almost always seems like your Wi-Fi signal at home is the strongest in the least convenient places, and it leaves you wondering if wireless technology is really so great anyway. Like why does the corner of my kitchen, which should be one of the furthest points from my router, have some of the strongest connections? It might also occur that you happen to visit your neighbor's house next door only to notice that your phone is still connected to your wifi and receiving a better…

Neighbors are usually there to help each other out in times of need… well, to a certain extent. Sure, if you need to borrow a broom or some sugar temporarily, that's usually acceptable. However, just dropping by unannounced and without warning on a consistent basis in order to make intrusive demands is not something most folks are going to welcome. Here , we have new residents who saw that their adjacent neighbors were going through renovations. Well, apparently that meant that the Redditor and…

"When I pull into my driveway, I see a big red sign that says ‘(my address) MAINTAIN YOUR PROPERTY, LOOK AROUND, EVERYONE ELSE DOES. TOWN TAKE NOTICE.’"

"Children and toddlers run the roads here, and the parents encourage it."

"What happens now is that for the last 3 months I’ve been doing her dirty laundry, and she had the audacity to ask me to wash her clothes in the sink with a natural soap because my machine is giving her allergies according to her."

Home is supposed to be a sanctuary. We all want to have a place where we can kick off our shoes after a long day of work, put our feet up, eat dinner with our families, throw parties, play in the yard with the kids, and spend time with the ones we love. It's supposed to be the one place you can relax and be yourself… but not if these strict HOAs have anything to do with it. Homeowner's Associations are like the hall monitors of the adult world. Their whole job is to keep the neighborhoods looki…

"We live on a street with no sidewalks, so everyone has ditches for drainage. She never cleans her despite having huge trees dropping sticks and leaves into it, so her yard floods when it rains. She's blaming us for that."

What do you do when your neighbor expects to use your Wi-fi for free?

Sometimes, it's better to just leave well enough alone. By making an issue about what you “do or don't” have when you're, well… wrong—you're more than likely to end up with less than you started with in the first place. Especially, as it turns out when you're disputing what you think is the boundary of your new property… Because, as in this story, the neighbor who has been there for longer probably knows a thing or two about why that “boundary” was established in the first place As at any point…

Some kids need to learn things the hard way. Usually, we have sympathy on this site for kids who get unnecessarily scolded by tightly-wound adults, but this one is a different story. Here, we have a pair of misbehaving miscreants who kept picking on the Redditor's younger brother. When the Redditor confronted the kids in his brother's defense, he assumed this would be the end of it. Unfortunately, the kids made the reckless decision to get back at the Original Poster (OP) by throwing eggs at hi…

"He seems to be expecting this money from us. We are willing to pay a portion but I personally feel swindled."

His dog fell ill the last time he used weed eliminator spray.

“Slumlord” landlords really don't do much good for anyone. Sure, they “provide housing” in the barest sense, but really, their landlord is just an extra convenience for them in addition to the land banking they're partaking in, the fact that there happens to be a barely inhabitable We found ourselves living in one of these places just out of university, desperate to find any available housing with our lease expiring and new jobs set to start. It was a pretty dingy building in an otherwise nice…

Keeping a friendly rapport with your landlord is essential if you want to make the most out of your stay. And yet, how would you feel if your landlord threatened to call the authorities if you didn't leave the dryer and washing machine behind? The story below is an account of a bewildered tenant. The original poster (OP) had just moved out of her apartment. After living in the same apartment for a considerable amount of time, OP had decided that it was finally time for a change of scenery. So,…
