When you purchase a home, unfortunately, the neighbors come with it. And you never know what to expect. Are they going to be extremely friendly neighbors who bring over a welcome basket when you first move in, or are you going to get the neighbor who keeps to themselves, leading you to think they could be a possible secret spy but you'll never find out because they never come out of their house? Either way, either other is better than getting stuck next to an entitled Karen who will call the cops on you over your grass being too long. 

The Original Poster (OP) is dealing with that now. He's owned his house for three years now, and an entitled boomer moved into the neighborhood just about a year ago. You know, the kind that isn't afraid of confrontation or speaking their mind. And, well, she did. Let's say this witty Gen Xer's reply left her speechless and us nodding in approval on the sidelines. Keep reading to get the full scope.

    renters, I was one for 10 years. But I lost it on her at this point (for reference this is a new build neighborhood and we bought one of the first available 3 years ago while she just moved in not even a year

    respect and being a decent person. She got so frustrated she tries to peel off and her car was still in neutral so her engine just revved and I laughed at her telling her to get it in gear and get tf out of my face. This earned me

    pearlBlack_97 • 15h ago A boomer down the street was mad at me because everyone on our block had to put our trash cans on the corner near his house due to street repairs and our road being impassable and he screamed at me about being a renter. I told not to with me and I own my house. Have done so since 2013. Is this a common insult these boomers throw at people? I thought it was just me but now I'm not so sure.
