Now, this is the kind of trashy we can get behind! This Redditor was slightly delayed in taking out the trash but still managed to bring it out before the pickup. Sounds like a nice save, but their Kevin next-door neighbor noticed and went on a full power trip about the fact that OP didn't take out their trash before 7 am. I'm sorry, but was this bothering anyone? It's not like it made a mess, unlike Kevin's constantly overflowing trash.

 

Rather than dump Kevin's trash on his lawn as many of the folks in the comments section suggested, OP decided to get creative with their form of petty revenge. They called the trash pickup company, pretending to be Kevin, and requested to cancel his pickup for the next several weeks while claiming that they will be on vacation during this time. So for the next few weeks, Kevin's overflowing trash was left untouched by the pickup company. It doesn't get much pettier (or trashier) than that!

    Font - My neighbor told me I couldn't put out my trash, so I put his on vacation hold So I rent a house with my husband and two of our friends, it's a 5 bedroom house. Rent is outrageous in our area, $2400 for a 1 bedroom apartment. So we found this house for $3000, not a bad deal while we save up to buy a house. There are other houses in the neighborhood like this as well our next-door neighbors their house is a five bedroom house and they have nine people living in their house... so it is chao

    Font - Our trash company does like us to have the trash out by 7 AM, we don't always get it out that earlier though and that's where this problem started. Most of the time they don't pick up our trash until 11 AM so obviously, as long as the trash is out before trash pick up gets here, they can take our trash. The people next- door have three trash cans, and they are overflowing every single week.

    Font - They put their trash out the night before but unfortunately our neighborhood has raccoons and foxes so the trash is always getting into and last time a raccoon got into their trash, it left a mess in our yard and they wouldn't pick it up. I was pretty pissed about it but I just let it go cleaned up their trash. I did go and put it back in their trashcan and they just sat out front glaring at me while I did that. Here is where this incident started, a couple weeks ago, I didn't get our tra

    Font - So I go to put the trash out and my neighbor starts yelling at me saying you were supposed to have your trash out by 7 AM you can't put your trash out now, I said well they haven't come and pick up the trash because your trash cans are full so it's not a big deal, he said no that's the rules,

    Font - your trash has to be out by 7 AM, if it's not you can't get your trash picked up this week. I said I understand that they want the trash out by 7 AM but they haven't come and picked it up yet so it doesn't matter, so I went ahead and I just walked inside. I went back to bed and a couple hours later I get up to see that our trash can were put to the side of the house and they were still full of trash. So that means that

    Font - someone moved our trashcan. Our other neighbor came up to me the next day and said that she saw him put our trash can back. She didn't know the situation so she wasn't going to but in and tell him to not do that. Our neighbors are also very proud about their last name. They literally have a flag in their front window with their last name so I called the trash company and I said that I was Mrs.Soandso and I needed to set up a vacation hold for our upcoming pick up. They said no problem we

    Font - The next week I made sure that our trash was out at 6:45 AM then I sat and I watched for the trash truck and I watched them come past the house. They drove past my neighbors house didn't pick up their trash, even though their trash was overflowing, picked up ours and the other few people who also have them and left. I know I'm an hole for doing this, you don't need to tell me, I may have crossed the line. But he also crossed the line by touching our cans and moving them and setting foot o
