Whether you live in the country, suburbs, or city, having a good neighbor is elite. When you get along with the person who lives closest to you, it is like all of the planets have aligned and you can live in peace now. It's just nice knowing you have someone near by who will have your back and be able to get to you the quickest during an emergency. That's what a community is for! 

 

The only problem, it would seem, is that finding a good neighbor isn't the easiest task in the world. There are countless posts of people ranting about the nightmare that lives next to them. Entitled neighbors who think the world revolves around them and you only moved in next door to do their bidding. It's atrocious. Luckily, some of these Karen neighbors get put in their place—like this male Karen who loved to pretend a shared lot between him and his neighbors was his dumping ground.

  • The neighbors constantly fought over the shenanigans he would get up to in the lot—dumping is junk, letting his dog do his business in there, and blasting music at all hours. One day, the lot went up for sale and the neighbors quickly purchased it. Now that it was legally their property, they were able to call the cops on him every time he did anything in there—it quickly put him in his place.

    My husband and I are buying our 1st home together. When we moved in we quickly found out that our neighbor wanted respect that he wouldn't give anyone else.

    He was pretending to own the lot between our houses and he had the nerve to confront our contractor about leaving his truck on it.

    Mind you he had 4 junk cars parked on the lot already. He was also letting his dog on the lot and never cleaned up the. Not to mention he never put a leash on the dog and just let him. out freely without even looking to see if we were outside.

    To add insult to injury he started playing his music at any time of day and night as loudly as possible. Well one day we got a notification from the city that we could buy the lot.

    Lol we purchased the lot. Then when he refused to stop letting his dog out or to remove his last junk heap I started calling the police and animal control. I called them 4 times in one week. I even had his junk heap towed by the police.

    He got so mad that he tried to confront me in front of the police.... He was like "what is it now? " 1st you don't want my dog in your lot and then you call about my music why are they here now? Now he keeps his dog in his yard and stops his loud music before 10 pm.

    hymie0 My mother had a neighbor like that. He literally could not believe that, in a "free country," police were stopping him from cutting down trees on my mother's property. (That's the only specific story I remember, but there were a few others)

    lee14s_man Honestly this doesn't seem like petty revenge. Sounds like you did the right thing and are helping yourself and your other neighbors! Good job.
