When the going gets tough…
You gotta get petty!
Well, at least every once in a while.
And when it comes to rude and inconsiderate neighbors, petty revenge can be the best response!
The man who wrote this story explained how he got even more than once with a neighbor who thinks he can park his cars anywhere he pleases.
Check out what went down!
Neighbors always block the sidewalk with their cars; guess I’ll lower their mailbox flag.
“I’ve lived in my suburban neighborhood for nearly a decade.
During COVID, my wife and I became frequent walkers because that was the only way to touch grass at the time, and we’ve kept it up ever since.
While we change our route daily, this nearby street is the only one that has a sidewalk connecting two through streets in our neighborhood; so we frequent it to stay out of the road as much as possible.
This is pretty rude…
Without fail, every evening when the entire family is home, they intentionally stagger their 4 vehicles to ensure that anyone in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller must go down into the street to get around them.
Code enforcement doesn’t really care, so I started heavy stepping and dragging my feet through the edges of their grass as I went around, slowly creating a dirt path on the edges of the drive.
Revenge can be so petty!
Queue my new tactic – for the past week, they’ve had their mailbox flag raised; so, in like fashion, I kindly lower it for them as I pass by.
My head cannon wants to believe these geriatrics are mailing a check for their utilities and I am silently assisting them with accruing late fees.
At least they aren’t a VRBO…”

Jeez, talk about being inconsiderate.
But we can all take solace in the fact that this guy is giving it right back to him.
Bravo!
This guy’s neighbors have no regard for other people!
