Unfriendly neighbors should not be surprised when karma comes knocking at their door. Here, we have a family in a small neighborhood who managed to make enemies with just about everyone. Matters were made worse when this Redditor discovered that they were letting their dog go to the bathroom on his lawn. Now, if that kind of thing happens once or twice, it's excusable, but if it continues to happen… Houston, we've got a problem.

This neighborhood happens to have strict rules with regard to garbage pickup (i.e. everything must be bagged completely). So how did this Redditor get smelly, costly petty revenge? Well, he decided to collect all of the remains on his lawn from his neighbor's dog that week and dumped them unbagged on top of their trash the night before pickup. Not only was their garbage extra smelly, but also his neighbors received a fine.

    Font - r/pettyrevenge Posted by u/Discount_Mithral 19 hours ago Constantly let your dog Oon my lawn? Enjoy your smelly garbage cans! For context I live in a small cul-de- sac with four other houses, we're all pretty close and friendly since it's a small neighborhood. Except one house - they keep to themselves and are generally pretty inconsiderate with noise ordinances and such. (I'm talking doing loud machine work at 6:45am on a Saturday.)

    Font - I have a large dog and his C are... sizable. I don't like to let him O on the front lawn since I've put a lot of work into making it look nice. Suddenly, I start finding that were not his. I could tell based on size and a few other factors that these were not my dogs'. The first few I let go, just picked up and tossed, but after finding one almost every single morning for weeks, I had enough.

    Font - I checked my doorbell camera and low and behold, my neighbor was letting their dog on my lawn, then just calling them back and going inside. The final straw was watching their dog dig into my flower bed, which I had previously attributed to squirrels or rabbits since we have a lot in our area. I tried speaking to them about it a few times, but they actively dodge interactions with all the other neighbors in our cul-de-sac. I go outside while they are washing their car, they drop the hose

    Font - Que the revenge. Fridays are garbage days, so most folks get their cans out Thursday night since it comes so early in the morning. For four days I picked up the C and stored it in a box - unbagged. (I used a bag to pick it up.) At 11pm, as I'm letting my own dog out before bed, I empty that box into their garbage can and waited.

    Font - Our local municipality has strict rules on animal waste - mainly that it MUST be bagged. I work from home, so I knew I'd see that pick- up happen. The can was pulled over, and once they flipped back the lid to get it into the truck, that worker immediately closed it and slapped them with a fine for unbagged waste. It likely won't stop the but the revenge was sweet.

    Font - Karcossa 22 hr. ago My dad returned the dog to the owners after they refused to pick it up after letting the dog on our lawn. He put it through their letter box, unbagged (a letter box in the UK will typically empty right into the house). 75 Reply Share
