'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!
