'You can back off': Karen neighbor disputes property line, accidentally proves their house is over it

If there was ever a perfect example of "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face,"—this is it, with this neighbor pursuing a need for vengeance to the point where the only thing they assured was their own downfall. It's like poetry; it rhymes.

A construction supervisor was faced with a challenging situation when an agitated neighbor disrupted their progress by filing unwarranted complaints with the city inspector. This caused a great deal of headaches and resulted in a significant loss of valuable time on the project. However, after examining CAD files, the supervisor uncovered that the neighbor was the one with parts of their structures over the boundary line—quite contrary to their claims. This discovery prompted the supervisor to take appropriate action to rectify the situation and ensure that the project could proceed without any further hindrance.

This thread was originally shared with Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the superintendent, u/Short_Finger_Dizzy. They shared their story with the popular sub to an approving reaction from readers.
