'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

'My neighbor had been called in front of a board meeting [and] fined about $1000': Neighbor snitches on parents who let kids play on water slide bouncy house at all hours and flood other people's yards

This situation sounds like every kid's dream and every neighbor's worst nightmare. If you spent ages begging your parents for a pool or a trampoline as a kid, you're not alone. It's a common experience for kids who want to get their energy out and spend countless hours swimming or bouncing with their friends. Of course, as a kid you probably aren't aware of what the neighbors think about you bouncing on a trampoline for hours every day, or splashing around loudly in a pool doing cannonballs wit…

Karen attempts to cut down neighbor's large oak tree because it blocks her view of the sunset: 'She got annoyed and said it's a reasonable request'

You never know what kind of neighbors you're going to get. You might get the ones who feed all the stray cats, turning your street into a constant feline frenzy . Or you might get the Boomers who yell at the neighborhood kids for daring to ride their bikes near their precious sidewalks. But worst of all, you might get the Karens —like this one—who think they're entitled to chop down your tree because it blocks their view of the sunset. This Karen is a new neighbor who just moved across the stre…

'As we discussed, you’re paying': Renters casually suggest a lawn upgrade, landlord plants grass and hits them with a surprise $4.2K invoice

When you’re renting, you never expect to be stuck footing the bill for long-term upgrades on someone else’s property—especially when it comes with a hefty price tag. That’s exactly what happened to one couple who casually mentioned to their property manager that it would be nice to have grass in their front yard instead of dirt. When they moved in, they were told the dirt yard was due to pipe maintenance and thought that was the end of it. But soon after their impromptu conversation with the la…

'Things got weird': Entitled Karen upset when neighbor demands she and her kids stop using his pool without consent, she responds with a list of ridiculous pool rules

Things got weird fast when a man generously allowed his Karen neighbor and her kids to use his pool. At first, it was no big deal—she would ask, and he didn’t mind. But things took a turn when she started showing up unannounced, even using the pool when he wasn’t home. The final straw came when he returned from work one day to find Karen throwing a full-blown pool party with her friends, complete with floaties, snacks, and loud music. He confronted her, explaining that she couldn’t just use his…

Entitled Boomer demands neighbor's plants so he can put them in his garden: 'Just dig out yours and put it in my yard'

You never really know what kind of neighbor you're going to get until it's too late. For some, it's a friendly wave and a chat over the fence, but for others, it's dealing with an entitled Boomer who thinks he's owed your plants. That's right—one woman found herself in the middle of peak neighbor drama when her Boomer neighbor demanded she dig up her own garden and hand over the plants just so he could spruce up his yard. You've got to hand it to him for the sheer audacity. Not only did he ask…

‘Not gonna happen’: Nosy resident attempts to stop neighbor from building a fence to keep them out of their business, leading to a property dispute

When you're a kid, and you are watching a Hallmark movie or just a show that displays the Perfect American Family, you end up assuming that your neighbors are going to become your best friends. In those movies, they always greet each other good morning, their kids end up becoming best friends (and then more often than not - end up getting married), and it always seems like having neighbors is the best experience ever. Is it actually like that in real life? Absolutely not. You are lucky if your…

'Yes ma'am, I will destroy your lawn': Woman flips out over tire tracks left on her lawn by volunteer workers

This woman was very upset at the state of her lawn . She did not hold back while scolding the people who caused it… but they were a little confused about why she was so upset in the first place.

'Landlord tries to keep [my] security deposit... um, no': Landlord tells tenants to 'park anywhere you want,' then fines them $1500

At one cheap apartment , this couple found themselves faced with massive fines. When you're young, sometimes the only housing you can afford is a cheap and tiny little room. Lots of landlords charge outrageous amounts of money for these little tiny shoeboxes of apartments. They seem to know that if you don't have a lot of money, you may also be low on housing options. Then, you end up signing paperwork that gives the landlord an advantage over you. This person, u/Clintosaurus_Rex, and their gir…

'Neighbor wanted the fence fix[ed], we just removed the fence': Neighbors insist couple next door fix their fence, couple contacts city inspector instead

It costs zero dollars to mind your own business. Natural disasters caused by hurricanes, windstorms , and floods are no joke. They will destroy a house with ease, leaving the residents to clean up the mess. Depending on your location, you might have to deal with natural disasters all the time. For example, places like New Orleans or the Florida coastlines are subjected to hurricane conditions and flooding on a yearly basis. For people in these areas, rebuilding can be a consistent effort.

‘I reported him to HOA until he moved': Resident devises 4-month plan to get back at pesky neighbor; after getting fined by HOA, neighbor moves out

The long game of revenge requires a lot of patience, so unless you are truly up for it, don't bother undertaking such a commitment. I'd expect you would have some pretty high expectations when moving into a house. Everything is always pink, rosy, shiny and new, before it turns grey, bitter, old and then black. You want the place to be nice, the street to be quiet, the neighbors to be invisible. Is that so much to ask, when paying the amount you need in order to pay for an actual house nowadays?…

After moving into a new neighborhood , these residents planted lots of plants, only to find them chopped down almost immediately. No wonder the parents of the OP, u/BalloonUnderstudy, were completely furious! It takes a special kind of dude to chop down living plants just to be petty. But for some people, like the neighbors in the OP's story, claiming the rights to their own property supersedes everything else. After all, that's a horrible way to welcome new people to the neighborhood . It also…
