“This Is My House And My Land”: Neighbor’s Bitter Revenge Turns Into A Total Disaster

Neighbor disputes come in many shapes and forms, and the one Reddit user NY568 shared on r/EntitledPeople involves a persistent hunting enthusiast who wants to use his gun on the Redditor’s parents’ land.

However, while the 7-acre property is scenic and full of wildlife, the couple does not want outsiders roaming there, so they repeatedly told the man no. Although disappointed, he seemed to understand and respect their boundaries. But then a tree stand was discovered on the grounds.

    Entering your neighbor’s property with a gun without their permission can seriously backfire

    The legal nuance might be different from one place to the next, and as we just learned, owning land home to wildlife can be difficult to manage during hunting season.

    While some hunters may not be aware of where your property begins, if the tree stand was, indeed, set up by the neighbor, he trespassed on the Redditor’s parents’ property knowingly and perhaps even repeatedly.

    Some places, like the American state of Louisiana, allow hunters enter properties to collect their hunting dogs — as long as they aren’t carrying any weapon.

    But in most, hunters may not retrieve dogs or wounded animals if they can’t legally hunt on that land.

    In Florida, for example, trespassing while in possession of a firearm is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

    Almost three quarters of Americans dislike at least one of their neighbors

    A recent LendingTree survey of 1,537 Americans revealed that 73% percent of them dislike at least one of their neighbors. Gen Zers, apartment dwellers and Northeasterners were most likely to say so. Also,  those who have issues with their neighbors cite three main reasons for it: giving off a “weird vibe,” being too loud, and being rude.

    Hopefully, the Redditor’s parents and their neighbor will find a way to settle their disagreements peacefully.

    Things don’t always work out, though — more than 1 in 10 Americans (11%) have moved specifically because they didn’t like their neighbors.

    Another 27% have thought about it because of them.
