Update: 'I've always wanted a green pool': Couple makes repeated complaints about neighbors' backyard, neighbor decides to paint pool permanently to spite them

This swimmer is going to have a very special pool, all thanks to their neighbors. 

This couple sound like the neighbors of nightmares. While most people have a passing relationship with their neighbors or are friends with them, other people don't have any intentions of being warm and fuzzy to their neighbors. Instead, they seem to spend all their time criticizing and nitpicking the smallest little details of this OP's yard. 

The OP had a great solution to their constant criticisms, which was to paint their pool their favorite color. I don't know why more people don't do this. You'd be the talk of the town if you had a red or purple pool. The possibilities are endless! For neighbors this invasive, the OP would be smart to invest in a really tall fence to stop their prying eyes. Especially because in the final note, the OP says that they were spying on their kids, too. Once the OP gets these neighbors off their back, hopefully they can actually relax and enjoy their green oasis. 

Scroll down to read this whole story, which includes photos of the pool during renovations and several updates along the way. Then, these 25+ people shared their pettiest revenge tactics to get back at friends, parents, coworkers, and more.
