Neighbor can't stand the location of resident's trash cans, reports him to the HOA, resident claps back by enhancing the smell: 'Let's see how you like that!'

There are only so many issues you can raise with your neighbors before you become the nuisance.

In this instance, we have a resident whose trash cans were fully where they were supposed to be: within his own property and behind his fence. Still, the neighbor insisted that the strange smell they couldn't shake was emanating from the resident's trash cans. 

After a few uncomfortable exchanges between the two adults, the neighbor should have recognized that there was nothing they could do. Not only was the resident in compliance with the rules, but he also believed the smell was coming from somewhere else. Then, one day, the resident accidentally filled their trash cans too much, to the point that they were overflowing ever so slightly. Of course, the neighbor noticed this and decided to use this situation as an excuse to get the resident fined by their local HOA.

That's when the resident knew he needed to take matters into his own hands. He paid the fine and apologized for his one silly mistake. Still, he refused to move the location of his trash cans, partially to spite the neighbor. Then, he decided to start composting and made sure his bin was actually smelly this time… just to get a rise out of the neighbor.
