'My grandparents reminded the neighbor that they had a deal': Outraged dude tells neighbor he will sue if they renovate their home

This guy felt oddly entitled to his next door neighbor's home. There are a million neighbor feuds for this very reason: you can't really tell other people how to run their lives. Sure, you can try to cajole your neighbor to take down her Christmas lights now that it's April, or maybe you can talk a different neighbor into taking down the floodlights that blind you while you try to sleep at night. But it doesn't always go as planned, and in this guy's case, his neighbors retaliated against him in probably the worst (and funniest) way possible. 

In this story, told by u/whatamidoingits3am to the r/maliciouscompliance subreddit, is a delight from start to finish. The OP writes that their German grandparents own a home that used to be one story, until the OP's grandpa decided he wanted to renovate and add a story. He did all the proper paperwork and contacted the right people to get the ball rolling on this large project. But then their neighbor found out and was completely appalled, according to the OP.
