'They owned a funeral home, but I buried them with pettiness': Funeral homeowners attempt to outmaneuver neighborly opponent in regards to 8 foot tall fence, 5 years of petty revenge ensue

Neighborly relationships need to be built on mutual trust, respect, and understanding, but some neighbors take a bitter approach and leave you with a sour taste in your mouth, right off the bat. This was the case for a Redditor who was approached by new funeral home owners with a three-page-long agreement about a fence they wanted to build, bordering on his property. He told them he'd need to go over the documents before he signed them, but they pushed him to sign them that very instant. He flat-out refused and slammed the door shut. That was the beginning of a very strained, awkward relationship between him and the funeral home owners that ended up in a lot more hassle than he'd expected.

Five and a half years later, he finalized the petty revenge he'd always dreamed of. It involved a lot of bureaucracy, and he got the city council involved multiple times. But in the end, the funeral home owners got what they deserved… the moral of the story: don't mess with your kind neighbors. There are always more stories from where that came from. Here is an employee who maliciously complied with his boss until HR got involved; wanting to fire him, they confronted him with a meeting, but ultimately his boss got himself demoted instead.
