'I didn't feel any guilt period': Neighbor gets revenge on HOA by fulfilling a kid's birthday wish

Ahhh, when revenge is served it's served hot and delicious—like a NYC slice. Whether it's petty or full-throttle, getting revenge is so satisfying it really puts things back into perspective and maybe gives you a little bit of faith in the universe. Revenge is simply karma you made sure followed through.

Recently, an epic story of satisfying revenge was posted to Reddit on the subreddit r/prettyrevenge. The outcome of the manmade karma was just *chef's kiss*! Long story short, a new homeowner was getting harassed by the power-drunk entitled HOA. It became an annoying back and forth of threatening legal actions. However, this person made friends with a neighbor who happened to live on the dead-end cul-de-sac block where all the HOA members lived—in fact, he was next door neighbors with the worse of them all, the HOA president. The two were just casually chatting and this neighbor let out that his son wanted a drum set for his birthday, but he couldn't afford it and his kid's dream of starting a rock band would just have to wait. Cue petty revenge!

The homeowner banded together other neighbors who hated the HOA and gathered enough money together to buy this kid not only a drum set, but basically an entire, very loud, band set—with mics and eight-foot amps. The kid was SO happy that him and his friends (none of which are practiced musicians) immediately started playing together and all the time.

The kids played all hours of the night and the neighbors could not sleep, the neighbors that were the evil HOA council. They made noise complaint after noise complaint, but really nothing happened. The complains would be written up and then nothing. The HOA were so annoyed, their tantrums got worse and eventually, it got so bad that the president was not reelected. He even eventually got divorced by his wife a year later, but does that have to do with the petty revenge? Who knows?! All we know is that this petty revenge also came with making a kid's dream come true, so it truly was a win-win. Scroll on to get the whole story!

$Font - list in bullet points. Then about how he'd cut me some slack since we were "buddies", but I needed to get my house in shape as to "not shame the other high quality homes in the neighborhood". I was dumbfounded. I'd gotten woken up for this!!! And it stated if I didn't I would have to pay all types of fines for each infraction.$

$Font - I was angry and practically told the HOA guy to get the hell off my property in a less than friendly voice. I went online to our HOA's rules and checked the "infractions" my house was accused of having. After some basic checking for about twenty minutes, I found out my house didn't violate a single one. I also called the former owner who confirmed it. I was even angrier when I found that fact out. But I also calmed myself thinking it could have been a mistake. I marched right over to the$

$Font - partially calmly) held the letter right up in front of his face demanding what sort of bullshit he was trying to pull with the infraction fines he was charging me. It wasn't some mistake. This bozo was serious. He starts talking down to me, about how I'm trying my best to ruin the neighborhood by not matching all the other houses to a tee (my house had a few differences that were well within HOA standards). I ripped up his letter in front of$

$Font - A few days later, I get another letter from the HOA. This time dropped off in front of my door after ringing the doorbell. It was the bogus fines that I was supposed to pay for the bogus infractions. I had collected evidence that my property was in order and met HOA standards. I also had neighbors be witnesses that everything was in check. I just trashed the bogus fine letters or used them as kindling on my backyard mini fire pit to make S'mores. The letters continued after no payment say$
