Many people have at least one neighbor they are not that fond of
Please, be kind to your neighbor; it’s not that hard to do and it can do wonders for everyone’s well-being. I can only imagine how stressful and needlessly tiring it is having to deal with someone aggravating on a daily basis, which could be avoided if people treated each other nicely.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world, which means that some people will make it their life’s mission to make their neighbors’ lives miserable. Bearing that in mind, it’s not surprising that, according to a survey carried out by the online lending marketplace LendingTree, nearly one in four adults (in the US) hate at least one of their neighbors.
For some Americans, the feeling is so strong, they’re even willing to uproot themselves and relocate; the aforementioned survey found that 19% of respondents have moved because of a neighbor they dislike. Out of those who haven’t moved, 24% have reportedly been in an altercation—either physically or verbally—with a neighbor, and as many have called law enforcement or taken legal action against someone living nearby.
Being rude or unfriendly is the main thing people dislike about their neighbors

People who dislike their neighbors could likely come up with an extensive list of reasons for feeling this way, but some of them seem to be more common than others. According to the aforementioned LendingTree survey, the main problem people have with fellow residents is them being rude or unfriendly, which seems to bother close to half of the respondents. Roughly a third of them are irritated by neighbors making too much noise or being too nosy.
Then there are also such grievances as personal incidents, unruly pets, lack of maintenance of one’s home or lawn, unruly children, and not following parking rules, respectively. The latter is what bothered the OP, too, who seemed to be a rather calm neighbor to have—they didn’t mind people living nearby parking their cars on the curb in front of their home, as long as it wasn’t done on Fridays, the day they would take out the trash.
Unfortunately, the neighbors couldn’t spare that one day in a week, which eventually led to the OP seeking petty revenge. When they told their story to fellow members of the ‘Petty Revenge’ community, several other netizens took to the comments to share similar stories of how their neighbors made life needlessly difficult, showing that a world where everyone treats their neighbor with respect is but a dream.

Poll Question
Thanks! Check out the results:
OP didn't care that they were parking in front of his house until he didn't have space for his trash cans and they messed with his wife for parking on the street in front of her own house because she got there before then. That's when it became a problem.
Used to live on a quiet road close to a school and have my driveway blocked all the time by mothers parking straight across it then disappearing for an hour while they all chatted s**t waiting for the kids to come out... Never really bothered me if I didn't need to get my car out but when I did have to I'd call my neighbors up, get a group of us to bounce and shimmy the cars all at a 45 degree angle against eachother, completely blocking the road and making it impossible for them to move the cars...One day one parked on my drive so I just parked behind her then went in rolled a joint, put the music on and ignored the doorbell til the next day.
