This snowboarder isn't going to let anything stop her from enjoying her time on the snowy hills! But one of her neighbors was determined to stop this kid from having a fun time in the snow, as u/Secret_Life_Shh told in her excellent story of petty revenge. 

The teenager revealed that she loved snowboarding as much as possible. While it's a weekend pastime for many people, she lived on a family property, so she could snap on her snowboard and go out whenever she felt like it. The only issue was that the neighbors kept seeing her do this, and they took that personally. They really thought she was going to be a problem! They insisted that she was "too big" to go snowboarding which doesn't even make much sense, since many snowboarders are adults anyway, and also because the teen was choosing areas without anything to collide into, like trees or fallen logs. Still, I'm sure the neighbors regretted their words after they realized who they were speaking to! Check out the full story below. 

Next, these employees got fired for some hilarious reasons, like one guy who "told me he couldn't really move fast (line cook) because his motorcycle boots were too heavy to walk in."

    r/pettyrevenge. Posted by u/Secret Life_Shh Д "Sure! Call the land owner!" So, when I was 13; I was really into snowboarding so every chance I got, I was out doing that in winter. (Though in recent years, I could do so in July.) There was one huge hill that was open to anyone, everyone all year long so long as they didn't cut trees or wreck the place. This hill was located on a plot of land in the woods that, a few months prior to this event, had gone from being "For sale" to "Bought by my uncle

    Nobody really knew these men were my uncles because we all have different last names and my dad's family is HUGE. That comes up again later... one of the parents said that myself/anybody who wasn't a baby in a sled had no right to be there as we were "Too big and violent" to be using that hill and generally let the kids steal or otherwise damage the boards/skis or do things to drive everyone else away. I largely didn't care because when I went there, I just used my cheap $10 board that was built

    dangerous to drive on that people used all the time as sled spots. (That were also much closer to home and safer because no tree- line to collide with, fallen logs, or chances of coyotes deciding their kids were snacks.)

    After about a week of them constantly nagging and b ing, I finally said "Look; you can sled ANYWHERE you want! Me? Because es decided to wreck some a property and trespass, I cannot even snowboard on my own property because the neighbors complain that 'I might break their fence' so unless I want to pay hundreds of dollars to go to some fancy resort, this is the ONLY place I can snowboard! On a plot of land half a mile wide, I'm fairly fting certain we can all enjoy it!" I didn't wait for a respo

    I was never the best at stopping so I stopped when I hit the trees; thankful that they were still rather bendy. Over the sounds of laughter and snow being shredded, I heard the Karen screaming and turned to see her at the top of the hill, pointing at me and calling me every name in the book. Apparently, she called her husband (who confirmed they lived nearby) and said that 1) I had threatened her, 2) I had called HER everything in the book, and 3) I was a grown adult. At 13, I was MAYBE 3'9 and

    He asked what I had said, I repeated it and admitted I knew cursing was wrong but expressed how annoyed I was. He tried to calm his wife but she screamed more and said "I'M CALLING THE LAND OWNERS!" I smiled like the Cheshire Cat and told her "Go right ahead! I'll speak to them, too!" So she did and she launched into a huge rant; very animated with lots of flailing and hopping similar to an angry hen. Finally, when she starts losing steam, I can hear one of my uncles saying "I'll be right there;

    After about 15 minutes, a truck pulled up and out hopped my uncles. They came over and spoke to the woman; I could tell they didn't 100% believe her but because this was THEIR land, if anything happened, they'd be on the hook for it. She got loud again and demanded I be "banned for life" and all that. They looked around and asked her to "Point to the dangerous and disrespectful woman" as clearly, I was the only one snowboarding that day. She huffed and grabbed me; giving me a shake as she shoute

    "You mean our NIECE!?" Karen sputtered and tried to come up with some sort of response but, failed miserably. My uncles then gave her the choice: Leave now and come back in a couple days (they'd drive by to make sure she stayed away). OR Continue acting how she was and they'd press charges on her to have her banned and charged with assault for grabbing me as well as being on the hook for any damages her kids caused to anybodies gear. (Apparently they'd been getting calls but nobody knew her name

    Draigdwi Knowing when to call in reinforcements is basic strategy and a big part of the victory.

    Chris11c It's not a fight when you get dragged that badly. Karen was way out of her weight class.

    Secret_Life_Shh OP +4. IT GETS BETTER! I also had glasses, a hearing aid AND speech impediment! Don't get me wrong, if the kids weren't there, I WOULD have cursed her out like a sailor with turrets who stubbed his baby toe. I take after my father's family in that we are very quiet, helpful and mostly really good people. (Every apple tree has a few rotten ones and all that.) BUT you back us to a corner or mess with our kids/younger gen?

    Well my dad and uncles could literally b someone to a pulp in the police station and the cops would just mind their business and say "They had a good reason to do this/gave the person every chance to get their stogether." cause it's the truth.

    cabird78 "Go right ahead! I'll speak to them, too!" The most bada ever. response I like to imagine Karen's husband coming back to their truck and just going "wow, you really picked a fight with a 13-year-old in a pink snowsuit?"

    FuzzballLogic +3. I love how both you and your uncles didn't tell her immediately who you are, meaning she could dig a deeper hole for herself.

    Secret Life_Shh OP +1. Nah I wanted to let her dig herself deeper.
