'We watched as he took down his fence': Residents' malicious compliance cost their neighbor $10k and a big chunk of his yard

After moving into a new neighborhood, these residents planted lots of plants, only to find them chopped down almost immediately. No wonder the parents of the OP, u/BalloonUnderstudy, were completely furious! 

It takes a special kind of dude to chop down living plants just to be petty. But for some people, like the neighbors in the OP's story, claiming the rights to their own property supersedes everything else. After all, that's a horrible way to welcome new people to the neighborhood. It also signals right away that those people aren't interesting in being friendly or even communicating. At least the OP and their parents got the last laugh! 

Scroll down to read their story, plus people in the comments who were delighted with this tale of malicious compliance. Some shared their own neighborly MC stories, too. 

Next up, check out these tweets that are utterly iconic and part of internet lore.
