'Don't take reviews as payment': Neighbor offers next-to-nothing in exchange for an unpaid laborer to reroof his entire home, making Nextdoor users question everything

Nextdoor is a place where Karens and Kevins can be truly free. Since it's essentially a zip-code mitigated version of Twitter, most users are only here for a handful of reasons: their pet is missing, informal noise complaints, unofficial vigilante work, and the occasional good ol' fashioned neighborly grift. If you're not scamming your neighbors on Nextdoor, can you even call yourself a real grifter? As many Nextdoor users learned this week, apparently if your post covers all three of the grifter 101 hot button phrases– 'sick and tired', 'sweat equity', and 'lucrative opportunity'– you've got yourself an excellent scam cooking. 

In this case, a Reddit user reported back on his findings on Nextdoor because he was unable to believe his eyes. While scrolling his local neighborhood classifieds, he stumbled upon what looked like an offer for a trade at first, but when he read further, it seemed like only the biggest imbecile on the block would ever agree to such terms. You might as well stand on a soap box on the corner, charging people $20 to let you punch them in the face. 

Scroll for the full details of the world's worst trade offer and how OP managed to avoid the lamest exchange of services of all time. For more neighborhood jerks, check out this tale of how one tenant got the pettiest revenge because of a laundry heist.
