    I Need Petty Revenge Ideas

    Person cutting bushes over property line showcasing bad infuriating neighbors.

    I’ve absolutely had it with our back neighbor. We’ve had issues with her for years.

    A bit of context to understand how she’s able to do what she does. We share a driveway with the house next door to ours. Neighbor lives on the street behind us, her property sits between the two so she shares a border with the two houses. Neighbors to the side of us took down their fence six years ago and never replaced it. So neighbor has full access basically.

    She regularly uses our driveway to cut through to get to her house instead of walking further down the street and around to hers (her street is a cul-de-sac and ours isn’t). We’ve seen a bunch of other people do that over the years too, cutting through her property as well. Neighbor got fed up of people using her yard as a shortcut, and put up a massive gate blocking access to her street. So for others to do this it’s totally unacceptable, but absolutely fine for her apparently.

    She always let her dog out in to the yard. The dog would perpetually do its business in our yard. Did she ever come to pick it up? Nope.

    And then today my mom sends me this photo while I’m at work. Neighbor is in OUR yard. Cutting lilacs from the tree that is 100% fully on our property. Did she ask us for permission first? Nope. She literally just walked over with gardening gloves and scissors to cut of a bunch of flowers.

    Weird Airbnb Neighbor

    A posted warning notice on a pole about illegal rentals posted by infuriating neighbors in a residential area.

    For this college program I'm in, we have a trip where we visit businesses in cities

    The group split an Airbnb and we all arrived around 7pm went to sleep around 10pm-11pm

    At 4am, some of us woke up to a loud bang in the backyard. When all of us woke up, we noticed there were multiple trashbags and glass bottles broken on the steps

    A random lady decided to walk back and take a picture with her digital camera. We didn't think too much about it.

    We told the host and they said the trash would be cleaned soon

    A few minutes later, we all go outside to get our Uber and the same lady rushes outside to take pictures of us at 8am

    Next day, same thing

    We told the host about it and they said "Oh we have a crazy neighbor that does that because she thinks Airbnb's are illegal" ??? Wish they could have mentioned that

    She also put this sign up

    Luckily, we leave soon but we feel like a zoo animal.

    From Reddit: So this is the new form of blocking the sidewalk. It crosses the entire sidewalk causing a tripping hazard to anyone who using the sidewalk. I’ve called the village to complain about the bags and they sent the police out a couple times to have them removed but they keep getting put back each time it rains. I have purchased my own sandbag to stop the increased amount of water from rushing down the sidewalk next to my house to help control the problem he is causing to some degree. Not sure what else to try to do. Talking to him is not a good idea because he and we do not get along and it will lead nowhere just as it has in the past.
