50 Times People Posted Such Ridiculous Things On “NextDoor” They Deserved To Be Shamed (New Pics)
Nextdoor is an app that allows people to communicate with their neighbors. It's basically Facebook, but for neighborhoods. The company reports that 41.8 million people used their services as of 2023. So, as with any social networking app, all kinds of ridiculousness and mishaps abound.
Luckily, there's a community that collects the wildest things people post on Nextdoor. Petty neighborhood drama is what people on the subreddit live for. "Join us for the dumpster fire!" their description reads. So, Pandas, strap in and get ready for outrageous lawn debates, passive-aggressive pet complaints, and the occasional wholesome post!

Damn, Nextdoor Hitting The Feels
And that's how you treat your four-legged best friend! He's got your back, you got his. No leaving him behind.
Like Lilo + Stitch said: "Ohana means family + family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
Load More Replies...I run an animal rescue (not in the US). We do our vaccinations etc at a clinic which also doubles as a shelter. Today at that clinic I watched 4x 2-week-old kittens be surrendered to be euthanised. Then someone came in with a heavily pregnant dog which he maintained he had found as a “stray”. Anyone with eyes could tell the dog was his and he didn’t want the responsibility of saying it. It’s haunting. For anyone wondering how to help, sterilisation (spay/neuter) is the number one way to prevent animal homelessness. Grassroots education and sterilisation, that’s how we can beat this.
On a less heavy note, this week my rescue has adopted out 4 kittens and a puppy! Slowly but surely, we’re chipping away at the massive numbers of animals in need in my area 🤞
Load More Replies...I thought this was supposed to be ridiculous things people posted? This isn't ridiculous....
They learnt from Chernobyl. The Ukrainians left all their pets behind at Chernobyl and they all died, those that didn't starve to death were shot. The Ukrainians learnt from Chernobyl and aren't making the same mistake twice.
Are there really "kill shelters"? Or are they normal shelters overrun by animals and with not enough financial support to feed them? What would they be supposed to do, kick the animals out on the street for a long, slow, painful death?
They are 1500% overcrowded, under-staffed, under-apperciated pounds that do not get the asisstance they need. If people didn't overbreed and let their damn dogs run free-- and if people stopped villifying the pound and started helping the pounds out-- they wouldn't have such a high rate of euthanasia. But people are stupid and weird.
Load More Replies...This is not a wild post worth shaming. Why. is it even on this thread?People who abandon their animals are evil and deserve to be treated the way they treated these loyal companions.
If I had ever had to abandon my dog, the guilt I'd feel would tear me apart.

How Long Til I Get Banned. Place Your Bets
This post told no lies. The amount of rudeness servers face is ridiculous. A server is not a slave or miracle worker.
But this is especially directed to the people who go to church and call themselves Christians and still act like a******s to servers after services.
Load More Replies...The after church crowd is honestly THE WORST when it comes to restaurant customers.
This needs to be blown up and on the front of every restaurant door every Sunday all Sunday.
“That’s what therapy is for”. This is honestly so reasonable. I mean, I know some people can’t afford really good therapists and stuff but that doesn’t mean there is literally no help. And I know some people just genuinely can’t go to therapy for other reasons, but it’s important to know that there is a place for you, and you can’t just disrespect people and hope they just become that place.
The church is a hospital for the spiritually sick.
Worked in a fast-paced bakery across from a huge church, which filled once services ended. A woman infuriated me to the point I asked her where she had just come from, and she answered church, pointing at it. I said she couldn't have been listening to the sermon with her nasty attitude. This got a huge laugh from the rest of the customers.
I'm beginning to think that my husband and I are in the minority when it comes to eating out. We road trip a lot and visit lots of restaurants both chain and local, we always tip 20% or a bit more (we round up) and our servers are so gracious and appreciative. It's a hard job....one that I could never do! There was one morning in a packed restaurant where there was a server in training and she had our table and kept apologizing. We reassured her over and over, 'no worries! It's all good' but I saw other patrons giving her c**p. When I went to pay, another server was talking to her cause the poor thing was literally in tears. I gave her our money and generous tip and said, 'You are doing fine. Breathe. This is a very difficult job and I couldn't do it! Don't let the Muggles get you down'.
EXACTLY!! So many Christians want to say "What would Jesus do if he knew you were gay?!!" He would sit at the same table with them, He wouldn't judge them, He would love them anyways. Some Christians also want to say "The Bible says this the Bible says that" But if the person you're speaking to is a non-believer, the rules of the Bible don't apply to them. The Bible is for Christians- it also calls us to love our neighbors. That includes gays, lesbians, trans, poly, Muslim, Mormon, Jewish, blacks, whites, Asians. Everybody.
Wasn't over toast and wasn't because of the server
Load More Replies...The Nextdoor subreddit has been going strong for almost 10 years. Created in 2015, the group can't boast astronomical numbers, but its 35k hardcore members are definitely passionate and constantly hungry for some neighborhood drama.
The group is not about your run-of-the-mill Nextdoor posts pertaining to real neighborhood issues. They have an immediate disclaimer: "If it's not absurd or hilariously petty, move it to the real Nextdoor." On the subreddit, it's all about watching the dumpster fire at your neighbor's from afar!
Point Made
Bet he gets a letter from the HOA cause flags aren't allowed.
Made the mistake of disparaging HOAs on Reddit and received an overwhelming response from satisfied HOA residents. Many of them made the claim that home-buyers in some areas are essentially forced into this commitment or they're stuck renting.
Y'all bought into a HOA, you had an opportunity to NOT buy a house with an HOA and then you all complain because there is an HOA.
HOAs are kind of everywhere so the chance to not buy into a HOA is diminishing rapidly.

I Found This To Be Awfully Sweet. I Hope She Finds What She’s Looking For
It is really important for older people to have social connections and this is sweet. There is an amazing Australian show called Old People's Home For 4 year olds where they pair older people with 4 year olds and they do activities with them to help with depression, loneliness and mobility. They do testing before and after to see what improvement they have made. There is also an Old People's Home For Teenagers.
There was an identical series in the UK too-it was so sweet. The children seemed to instinctively adjust their play to involve their new older friends-one episode showed them having an obstacle course race, and they were helping each other through hoops and across stepping stones, it was very sweet. And every single older person involved in the project said they felt their mood had improved, and they scored higher on various psychological and memory tests, and some even could reduce their pain medication because they felt better and more active.
Load More Replies...I am right there with you Honey!! I would love to be a Grandmother to any child needing a Grandmother!!
Decades ago, I used to take teenagers housed in a "children's" home to the local nursing home every weekend. Everyone benefited from the experience, including me.
I am sure there are new parents who would happily, one they get to know you, let you come to their house and hold their babies while they get a nap or shower. I would bed eventually they would let you walk them around the block so they could clean, cook, or just rest.
You could always volunteer at a daycare, or join a babysitting service.
The real Nextdoor, on the other hand, dates back to 2011. Its mission was to provide a sense of community and safety to neighborhoods. And in that regard, it mostly succeeds. It can be a great place to sell a couch or find a plumber to fix a leak (although competitors like Facebook's Neighborhoods might steal the spotlight sometimes).
However, the private social network hasn't been without controversies since its inception, especially in the last few years. Some suggest that people's fixations on crime can unnecessarily create a sense of paranoia in communities. Most of the post on Nextdoor are related to crime, yet suburban crime rates in some states (Michigan, for example) are going down.
Return This Sweet Lady's Chickens, Right Now!
It always baffles me when I read about many tragedies and bad news without bigger emotions, doomscrolling, and then something relatively small - let's say old lady's stolen chicken and her hope someone will return them - makes me tear up. Human's brain is weird.
I understand. I am the same. I think it is the scale of things. Sometimes the tragedy is so big that you are kinda at loss and overwhelmed. But this seemingly small little thing is easier to comprehend, hence the emotion. It also seems closer to you, so you can empathize with more easily. That's my take anyway.

Load More Replies...A 2023 study found that people inaccurately perceive the crime in their neighborhoods due to apps like Nextdoor. The researchers explain that this happens because people make judgements with the information available to them. And, on apps like these, the same rule as in traditional media applies: violent crimes gets a disproportionately bigger amount of coverage.

Greatest Exchange I’ve Ever Seen On Nextdoor
That was rude, I'm going forth with removing him from the forth grade Raymond
Good point. She may recognize her limitations and want to learn along with the kid!
Load More Replies...Come on Raymond, without another generation of home schooled nitwits how will we ever be able to overthrow our democracy and replace it with a dictator? Think of the future, Raymond. Do you really want to hand women back their ability to make bodily decisions?
Nothing rude about that. Shouldn't mess with your kid's life like that.
That’s a very bold assumption. I know that in many parts of the world being homeschooled equates to crazy religious fanatic isolating their kids from the evil world, but in my neck of the woods the people who homeschool are mostly those with kids who are neurodiverse, who are gifted, who are being bullied or have other vulnerabilities and the school system is is letting down, not resourced to provide for and not advocating for to ensure a safe environment. Leaving a kid in that environment would mess with their lives far more.
Load More Replies...It's usually said that you can't choose family, but the same sometimes goes for neighbors as well. You can't always choose who you live next to, so your best bet is to make do with what you have. Interestingly, relationships with neighbors can be important to our social and mental well-being. For example, one study found that low contact with neighbors results in worse psychological well-being for adults aged 40-70.

Are You The Davinci Of Drains? She Needs You
Actually drano is not a safe option as the tech will need to clear with blades and or water. Chemicals would splash back and could burn tech. Any one telling you that drano is how you clear drain lines is a fool.
Drano always makes my clogs worse. If you leave the clog as it is, it usually only takes a coat hanger or snake to grab a little hair or fiber and the whole clog follows along. Draino makes the hair fragile so when you try to remove it you only get little pieces. I always just use a coat hanger or a snake.

Maybe tell them about the karate AFTER the first date? Have you tried that?
Perhaps she wants to make sure they know not to try any funny business
Load More Replies...Yes, shared-interest clubs can be a good way to meet new people, but there is a serious downside - they are often small, close-knit groups, and if one member approaches another and it doesn't go well, then the whole mood of the group can be ruined for one or both and they will leave rather than deal with the awkwardness. That can be very intimidating.
Someone please help her with her makeup, then take another picture for her to post first.

All The Best Hoods Have Great Lawn Care
Bat guano crazy, I'm guessing. She's the type that often ends up on the HOA and makes everyone miserable.

I am not well enough to do it myself but I promise you, it's not necessary more than that, maybe every 2 weeks in spring but an extra week does not make it look unkempt. Karen cannot possibly mow her lawn 2x per week...she is full of bull Leavings.
Mine is done by a lawn service every 2 weeks. I'm on the road for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, and don't want to spend my free time doing when I get home.

They provide us with social support, allow us to share resources, and makes us feel secure. Some even posit that a good neighborly relationship is especially beneficial for single people. It provides them with greater satisfaction they derive from their social circles than couples do.

Um, what do your city ordinances say? You probably ought to check before you complain. Besides, how is the lawn service supposed to know you tied one on last night and now your head is about to fall off? 🤭
At least he didn't start mowing a 7 a.m.. I believe he was being considerate.
I know that I have several customers that are offended if I work on Sunday, Lord's day, etc..
Well I just do not see a lawn mower so what was all the noise coming from?

So, what should one do when the time to confront them over loud noises past 10 pm comes or those pesky Christmas lights in April start bugging you?

I Like Big Parties And I Cannot Lie
Nah, this one's legit. Loud parties (particularly in the late evening and at night) are disrespectful, rude, and unacceptable.
This one is TOTALLY dependent on specifics. Five people chatting and listening to a radio while barbecuing on a Saturday afternoon? Probably OK - deal with it. Fifty people drunking, fighting and playing hardcore dance music on club-grade speakers at 4am? Much less cool - you have a right to be upset.

... I got no sleep last night, and my brain is still offline at 4 PM, and this even in *this* state, I can tell that this is incredibly stupid.
Question for the lunati...er, concerned citizen. How thin are your walls that you can easily overhear a neighbour's conversation? Have you just made it up instead? Come on, you can tell us, we don't judge. Much.
I guess they walk through the neighborhood stealing emails right out of people's inboxes?
Is email theft a thing people genuinely believe happens? Or is it just this one goof?
My guess (if this isn't a complete fantasy), is that the neighbor said something about using the neighbor's wifi to work from home. (Source: I am a librarian and you would not believe how many people believe that all "computer words" are interchangeable. I've definitely had someone say, "I can't get into my email" when they meant "my phone won't connect to the library's wifi." And, "I can't connect to the wifi," when they are sitting at a library computer that is failing to display the weather.com website, because the address they typed in was actually weahter.com.)

Update To Yesterday’s Post. A Neighbor Was Offering To Do Portrait Sketches For Free And You Guys Said I Should Do It. Here Are My Kids And I
Well that's swell that u contributed to his ambitions! Maybe not picture perfect but hey, that's great😁
It ISN'T a good picture, but the thing that every artist really needs is practice, and to practice a variety of skills. You helped them to get better.
I've seen worse beginning art and a few years and a lot of sketching later they've got their first Gallery show. I'm glad you helped them on their journey into art. The two little dogs on the boy's shirt are a bit more advanced technique-wise, you may be one of their first tries at drawing people. Which IS HARD! Ask me how I know. ;) Drawing cartoon characters is a lot of people's first art success, they are usually simply drawn and easily copied but there is some innate talent showing here.
The kid is talented. Keep that picture safe. He could be the next great artist like Picasso, Wyeth, Stuebens, and/or Van Gogh.

Shame On You For Not Celebrating Halloween
Was this the same jerk who sent me an anonymous email trying to guilt trip me for going out on Halloween because they thought I OWED my neighbors' kids candy??
The UK can be a c**p place to live, especially now we are no longer "Europeans" but on the upside no 4th July, you can still tell kids to p**s off at Halloween, no Thanksgiving or "Labor Day" and, until recently, you could dodge Black Friday . . . Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three!
My lights were off this Halloween evening. Because I was sitting in the hospital's ER with my best friend, who had collapsed in a store's parking lot and went down like a felled tree. Thank God, there was no concussion, but I didn't get him home until midnight. Pity - this year I had loaded up on full size candy bars, genuine German and Belgian chocolate.
My reasons for turning off my lights are my own and you shall not shame me for it. You have a lousy attitude. Bet your kid's candy ends up in your office candy bowl. Who was sitting at your house giving away candy?

I’m Sorry, But Why Tf Is There A Treadmill In Your Yard To Begin With??
So u didn't put a treadmill on ur yard to gift away for free? Were you using it in ur front yard?
It looks as if it's in the middle of the yard. If it was by the road (and especially if it had a sign on it saying "free") then you might be forgiven to thinking it was up for grabs. Just because something isn't nailed down doesn't mean you should take it.
Load More Replies...Everything along my road into town is considered free because it always is. One lady told me once she was mowing her lawn and stopped by the curb to go inside and get a drink. She came out and someone was loading her mower into their truck. He said he thought it was free.
We put out stuff to take all the time and are happy when we see someone who could use it picked it up. It's been like that in every neighborhood I've lived in, I thought this was common knowledge.
While I agree that the 'taker' should have knocked on the property door to check if the treadmill was available to take, that is clearly a powered treadmill, not a manual one, so nobody is reasonably going to assume it was set up there deliberately.

What a great wedding gift - body shaming your new daughter-in-law. 🤦🏻♀️
How to say you are a horrible person and will be a horrible MIL without saying you're a horrible person and will be be a horrible MIL.
Yes, accept your daughter for who she is not her weight. Maybe someone should photoshop you out of the wedding pix
That right there is some top-quality JNMIL poison. How do people walk around looking for ways to make other people feel bad? Where does that uglyness come from? "Boy Mom" jealousy? There is something mentally wrong with a person who would do this. I had the best in-laws, they grew a couple of wonderful men and I got to be married to one of them for 44 years. They are all gone now and the world is a poorer place for it. And this B is walking around making people miserable...I'd make a trade.
“Cannabis Doesn’t Help Cancer Patients Because People Will Use It For The Wrong Reasons.”
I've noticed this more and more in recent years (here in the US anyway) - no matter how many are helped, if there is a minority that will take advantage, people prefer to screw over those who are being helped than allow that minority to get away with something. This poster is taking it a step further by refusing to acknowledge that the people who are helped even exist.
If you can't spell it, I don't want to hear your opinion on it. About anything.
Ummm... based on your spelling and grammar, Cathy -- did you write this under the influence??
Wait until Cathy hears about cars. We're all going to be doing a lot more walking I guess.

Texas Education Needs To Be A Littler Better
A bag of Kitty Litter has been placed in many classrooms in the US for school children to relieve themselves in case of a lockdown due to a school shooter/murderer with an AK-47 or other gun.
Oh lawd, I know the types of people who would live in New Braunfels, and they are the worst of the worst "new immigrants" from Germany who love feeling like the superior race to others and were amongst the worst offenders when it came to racism and segregation, even into the early 1960s. There were certain parks in that town that my Mexican parents couldn't enter as teens because of their ethnicity and they had to stop along the way for food because they couldn't rely on finding service or being let inside any of the convenience stores in the town. Let's just say that I'm not at all surprised that this kind of thing would come from someone from New Braunfels and that the people in San Antonio and Austin (where New Braunfels is right in the middle of) are shaking their heads at this nonsense.

International law prevents one country from showing another country’s forest fires on their domestic news channels. Duh.
In 1815 the volcano Tambora erupted in Indonesia and changed global climate. Some places saw snow every month in 1816. If one volcano can do that, then smoke from Canadian wildfires reaching NYC. (I live in New York State and personally witnessed the smoke.)
In Pennsylvania, one day the smoke was so thick in my town that it looked like night in the middle of the day. That was wild.

Not Letting Old People Skip You In Line Makes You Entitled?
If you want to see a rude person, look in the mirror. Oh, and your entitlement is showing, too.
I'm elderly and if someone behind me just has a few items and I have way more I'll let them go ahead. On the other hand if that isn't reciprocated I really don't care I've got all day.
Exactly, the important thing is you are doing a favor and it's up to you to offer or not. It's not something that should be automatically expected. I make the offer a lot because I am old and not in a rush. But I remember how it was when I had kids to pick up after work and dinner to get started. I didn't have that extra five minutes then.
Load More Replies...They were already "in the process of checking out" though? Also not sure I would have thought this person needed extra consideration due to her age, unless that's a very old photo. FWIW, I would always let someone with a few items go first if they arrive before I've begun, but it would never occur to me to undo any part of the process I'd already started.

Why do sooo many people believe that children seeing things they don’t remotely understand will harm them somehow? Can someone with kids explain it, please? Like if they find a vibrator that’s merely a tapered plastic tube, how does it harm them? They don’t immediately press it to their clits or push it up their butts because they don’t know any of that, so how is if harmful? My mom once beat me when I was nine and broke a string on my mandolin and told her in front of company “Pleade take me to the music store; I broke my G-string.” I was TWENTY-FOUR before I understood why she was angry! 😞😞😞
While I am not a person to complain or care about this sort of thing, you must know that children ask questions, many many questions. And they don’t stop until they get a satisfactory answer. And sometimes it is incredibly difficult to balance giving a satisfactory answer while maintaining age appropriate boundaries and personal boundaries (because I don’t want my child blabbing at school about finding mummy’s dildo). No, they may not do with a vibrate as you said, but I still don’t want them playing with it or rubbing it on their face or putting it in the Barbie house, nor do I want to do into an in-depth conversation about it’s use while I am trying to make dinner. I will NEVER punish my kids for asking questions. But I’m not sure how to instantly come up with an explanation for a teddy with a ball gag to my 8yo when we are just trying to drive to school. I’m sorry your mother was so awful.

why don't people understand free speech in the US. it's so the government can't shut you down for bad mouthing them. that's it. that's all it ever was, is, or ever will be. companies, platforms, and individuals totally have the right to tell you to STFU and GTFO.
You can't make people seek out or even hear accurate information as it turns out. So frightening.

I worked for an amazing lawyer back in the 90s, in San Francisco. He was one of the attorneys for the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley. I'll always support free speech. You don't have to agree with it, but everyone's entitled to speak their truth. Malcolm Burnstein was his name. An awesome boss and lawyer.
I believe in free speech, in so much as I believe the words these people offer have no value.

I seriously doubt a child of 4 would open this and start chowing down. And it is TRICK or Treat you know.

It’s Crazy How Many Right Wing Healthcare Professionals There Are In My Neighborhood
At least you probably won't have heartworm and acariasis before you die of Covid.
Ivermectin is used in flea control on cattle. I used to use it on my dog for fleas (vet prescribed). You had to use it in specific amounts - I think 1 cc per pound of body weight. When I heard about people using it to cure Covid, I just laughed and laughed. On the bright side, if these people didn't kill themselves first, they wouldn't need flea collars.
They probably know people who got covid and also got over covid in the same amount of time it took for them to take 3 doses of ivermectin. No amount of quality research controlling for variables and using large samples could ever compete in the minds of people like Nancy who saw what she saw and now knows better than the scientific community. I do not know how to combat this type of thinking and have lost a lot of sleep over it. :(
No One On Nextdoor Seems To Think This Is As Creepy As I Do
Not the creepiest I've seen. And in this economy, that's a heck of a deal. You're gonna cook and clean anyway, to get free rent on top of that? And likely free utilities, water, etc too? It's not like he's advertising for companionship or specifying that the lady needs to be young, single, and attractive. It's mostly just sexist to limit it to women. I bet plenty of dudes would line up to be this guy's housekeeper for free rent.
Neighborhood Lead Shaming Me For Turning Off Comments
Welcome Team Member Bragging About Hitting His Kids
Hitting kids just makes them see you as someone to be afraid of. It also means that they'll likely act out even more, or learn more underhanded ways of misbehaving. And they'll probably start hitting other kids at school.
Yes! Catching misbehaving kids less might mean the kids are better at not getting caught.
Load More Replies...Done correctly, spanking is not "hitting" kids. When you strike your child in anger, you've already lost. But if your child will just tune you out when tell him no, you've also lost. I know kids who hit other kids in kindergarten without ever having had a hand laid on them. Care to guess why? Because their parents let them hit them and their siblings with no consequences. Where do you think hitting, kicking and biting kids come from, anyway? From parents who won't discipline or back themselves up or even spank.
Load More Replies...Strict parents raise good liars. My kids dont even know what being spanked feels like, we don't do violence for any reason, we talk. My oldest graduated top of her class and is a nurse. My youngest are 10 and 12 and so well grounded and secure with themselves. This is the route they chose for themselves and I couldn't be more proud of them.
I nor any of my three siblings were ever hit or spanked. We all grew up with respect for others. Maybe you give what you get.
If you believe that others should suffer because you suffered and "turned out OK", then you did not, in fact, turn out OK.
Hitting children is lazy, immature parenting. It is damaging to children. Physical violence is the opposite of love and children know it but many adults do not.
The problem is we have a whole generation of parents who don't want their kids to have consequences for doing things they shouldn't do. I guess all we can to do is wait for these parents to be mugged, disrespected, and beaten up by these kids of other parents who didn't want their kids to face any consequences for things they shouldn't have done as kids.
Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, every generation since the dawn of time.
