Incredible Stories of Bad Neighbors Who Finally Got What Was Coming to Them
Good fences make good neighbors and keep bad neighbors away from your property line. But some neighbors are so bad that they can find any way to ruin your day, without even leaving the comfort of their own home!
Having a bad neighbor can completely ruin your living experience and make you question whether or not you should be the one who moves out. But in the end, these neighbors got what was coming to them in a moment of sweet revenge by their much kinder neighbors.
They Stole Our Power
We had this one neighbor that seemed sort of off. One day, the father knocks on our door and tells my parents they haven’t had power for a long time.
He begged us to run an extension cord to one of our outside outlets for the day so his young kids could have cold milk with their cereal in the morning.
My parents agreed to do this for one day. The neighbor kept up his part and disconnected the cable after that day. A month goes by and our electricity bill is basically double what it normally is. My parents head to the backyard and find the cable plugged in.
So they yank it out and confront the neighbor.
At first, the neighbor will only open the door a crack. My stepdad realized the reason: he was concealing a weapon. That’s when we began to suspect that there was something really wrong with these people. Several cop cars arrive later. Turns out they were up to some illegal shinanigans.
Parking on Your Own Lawn
The neighbor I used to have across the street from me once yelled at me for having a car parked partially on the grass (of my own lawn). The streets were narrow, and you’re technically not supposed to park in them.
The car was parked so that the tires on the passenger side of the car were both on the grass but it was at least helping to not block the street. This was only temporary. When she started yelling at me from her house, I thought it was because she didn’t like seeing the car in the street.
But no, she was furious simply because the tires on my grass were going to ruin my lawn, and my ruined lawn was going to lower her property value.
She told me that parking on my grass was illegal, that her husband was an attorney and that she was going to be calling the police. manticor225
We Never Heard Them Make Noise Again
I was living with my brother and a new family moved in downstairs. These two teenaged boys fought constantly. They were incredibly loud and I tried really hard to be empathetic and not complain. We would mention to their mom every now and then and she was very apologetic but it kept going.
One Sunday they woke us up at 6 am, slamming doors and throwing stuff and just being ridiculous. My brother and I set up every piece of audio equipment we had in the house — A bass amp, two PA’s, and a full drum set.
And we blasted Hypnotize by Biggie for about 10 minutes and played along on bass and drums, PA’s on full. Never heard those kids make noise again. Not sure if we shocked them or they finally got it or what. But we did prove who could make more noise, I guess.
She Just Needed the Bus Stop Moved
She grew up in the neighborhood but moved out when she got married. About 10 years later, she buys her parents house and she immediately has a problem with how everything isn’t the same as when she was a kid.
My youngest son and her oldest son were the same age, but they didn’t want to hang out.
So she tells everyone in the neighborhood who will listen that my kids are bad and other kids should stay away from them.
The bus stop by our house has been in the same place since before we moved onto the street, but it’s not where it was when she was young so it has to be moved back!
She had to walk an extra 30 feet to the stop and she couldn’t see her kid at the stop from her front windows. She calls the school and the bus company for TWO years to get it moved. Her kid rides that bus for about 12 DAYS and she puts him in a private school and he no longer rides the bus.
