What would you do if you had an annoying neighbor who complained about everything you do? I’m not talking about complaining to you. I mean complaining to the city.
In this story, one homeowner is in this situation, and he takes the first opportunity he gets to turn the tables on the neighbor.
Keep reading for the very satisfying ending to this story.
Neighbor’s Complaint to the City Backfires
We have a next door neighbor who does not like us, for no apparent reason.
This is a vacation home for them and we have never said a single word to or interacted with them ever.
They seem to think we live in an HOA, which we don’t, and call the city code enforcement on us over their perceived shortcoming in our lifestyle.
Here’s some more context about the differences between their properties.
We let our yard pretty much grow wild whereas theirs is meticulously landscaped and professionally tended.
We have six foot walls between houses so they can’t see much of anything in our yard without trying. Such as climbing a ladder to take pictures to send the city to lodge a complaint.
The city investigates, finds nothing wrong and closes the complaint.
The neighbor really complains a lot.
The last complaint happened a few months ago when we were doing some legally permitted construction.
The neighbor calls the city, they come out and find no issues.
Apparently he was upset with this outcome and he made more complaints, of which only one was “valid”.
I suspect the neighbor of making this complaint “valid.”
He complained about our vehicle parked on the street not having a current registration sticker.
Parking enforcement came out and put a sticker telling me to fix the problem or move it within 3 days.
Apparently, my current license plate sticker had been scraped off.
Two can play that game!
While out front, I noticed my neighbors new motor home parked in front of his house. It’s illegal in the city to park a motor home on the street.
Normally, I could not care less about it, but this seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.
I asked the parking guy, what about that thing?
It was a valid complaint.
He said there was no complaint about it, so I said, I am complaining.
I watched as he took pictures and wrote out the parking ticket/tow order.
I then watched as, about an hour later, the tow truck eagerly hook it up and whisk it away to their impound lot.

Serves the neighbor right! Hopefully, now he’ll stop making up things to complain about.
Let’s see how Reddit responded.
This is what I’m wondering as well.
Another person asks the same question and offers a suggestion.
This person shares a story about their neighborhood.
Exactly!
I hope the neighbor learned his lesson too. Hopefully he understands that reporting his neighbor really can backfire.
