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,…

The house-buying process is stressful and difficult to navigate at any point—especially when it's your first, and you have no idea what you're doing or what to expect. The process will see results that can have drastic and possibly cataclysmic effects on your finances as well as on the rest of your life and its quality. It's exhausting. The process and paperwork involved are almost like a second job, with months upon months of weekends taken up by an endless stream of open homes. With possible…

People come in different varieties, and each one is distinct. Some people are compassionate, and some are greedy, but the worst people are without a doubt those who have an entitlement complex. The story below is an account of a bewildered man. For many years, the original poster (OP) had been renting a home for ten to fourteen days in August in Ontario, Canada, along a river. The lease includes private decking with a hot tub, a furnished gazebo, and exclusive usage of a cottage. These quick tr…

Maintaining a positive façade is essential for a pleasant, synergistic, and healthy connection with your neighbors. The story below is an account of a frustrated neighbor. The original poster (OP) shares a strange experience he had with his neighbor on Reddit. To set the scene, OP resides in a condominium with four units. Two sizable garage doors are available. There is space for two cars in each bay. The apartment seems perfect at first because of its well-defined boundaries and regulations, w…

You're not supposed to take things that aren't yours—this is something that is ingrained in us from a very young age (or at least it's supposed to have been.) We were all taught that taking Little Jonny's red ball out at recess without his permission wasn't ok. Although we might still hold a grudge against Jonny for being a tattle tale (we were going to give it back), it doesn't change the fact that some valuable lessons were learned. These lessons and new-found boundaries should have stayed wi…

In this world, there are two types of people. The former is a rule-abiding individual who tries to stay out of trouble, while the latter is a troublemaker who is constantly seeking out the next adventure. The story below is an account of a frustrated neighbor. The original poster (OP) has lived in the same neighborhood for a considerable amount of time. Everything was going great at first, but when the mail worker knocked on the door, things quickly spiraled out of hand. Before OP knew it, he w…

When you're facing up against power and authority, it's easy to feel helpless and like you don't have any options, feeling like the only thing you can do is try to mitigate the fallout they're causing by trying to keep peace with them. The thing is, they're counting on you thinking and feeling that way; a lot of times, petty authority and controlling behavior rely completely and wholly upon silence. It's difficult to do, but if you ask around enough, you're likely to find there are others with…

Imagine having the audacity to throw a temper tantrum at your neighbor for using your electricity after he did it to mow your lawn. For the full context, this dude shared a duplex with his aggressive Karen neighbor and had decided to mow the lawn once the grass was overgrown and overdue. After taking care of his half of the lawn, he thought it would be kind (and aesthetically appealing) to mow the other half of the lawn, which belonged to the Karen. She never enjoyed upkeep, anyway. Well, in or…

When your neighbor complains to your mother about how you need to mow your grass, you might have a situation on your hands.

The best part about finally owning your own home is that you can do whatever you want with it—within legal limitations and logical reasoning. Of course, you'll quickly come to realize that this isn't necessarily the case, as you'll also be contending with nosy HOA members poking around looking for a single blade of grass out of line. You'll also be subject to the opinions of your neighbors, who will be more than happy to share them with you as though their judgement is law. This homeowner bough…

Parking is one of those things that is always going to cause issues when limited spots are of any concern. People just don't know how to behave rationally when scarcity of resources is at hand, and the monkey part of their brain takes over. Still, when you have your own driveway, even if it's shared, you'd sort of expect that your side of it would remain accessible to you (and you alone) without issue—unfortunately, inconsiderate neighbors mean this is not always the case. In this case, these n…

These people have a story or two they could tell you about their wackiest neighbors . You never really know a person until you live with them. The same goes for neighbors: you get to know them the longer you live around them. You start to learn what time they leave for work each day, you hear their parties or squabbles with their spouses, and you'll certainly start to recognize the signs of weird habits. Some people seem to love starting drama with their neighbors . There are a lot of folks who…
