Nothing can quite sink the spirits like realizing that you're living next to an absolute waking nightmare of a human being. Seriously, the whole business of neighbors is a risky game. You might've secured a wonderful home, but if you're also living next to an entitled and outright nasty piece of work, it can really put a damper on the whole situation. It sounds like this lady was going out of her way to give a perfectly well meaning family a hard time. Well, she certainly ended up getting her comeuppance when it was all said and done.

It was a really nice quiet horse shoe shaped street but it had no sidewalks. When my wife and I would walk the dogs and our kids, we would have to walk in the street.

    Handwriting - So I did what any sane person would do in this situation and I contacted the township to have a sidewalk put in.

    Font - A month later they began excavating for the sidewalk and when they got to her house, she had planted a big landscape piece with flowers and shrubs and a tree right in the way. The township told her to remove it, she didn't, they fined her and removed it themselves. The best part of the story is that 2 weeks after the sidewalk was finished and in, we listed our house and moved to another neighborhood. She still makes nasty remarks to my mother at church and we drive by her house while visi
