The problem had been simmering for years, but it had now reached a boiling point. It was time to call it quits. They were finally in a position to improve the situation after so much vindictive drama and all those police visits. She put on a big smile, rang the doorbell, and handed over the tiny piece of paper she was holding. Their lives were forever changed as a result of it. Who’d have guessed that such a small paper would turn out to be such a game-changer for them? The neighbor had no idea what was going to happen… You’ve seen it before! Revenge is a dish best served cold.
She Dealt With Her Entitled Neighbor For Years But Got The Last Laugh In The End
Her Dream Home
Emily Swanson and her husband had been saving for years to purchase the home of their dreams in Hawaii. It wasn’t easy to survive on a budget, but with some luck, they were able to buy a large house with five bedrooms, an oceanfront pier, and a large backyard.
Her Dream Home
Everything Was Going Well
This is the house of their dreams, and the couple is overjoyed. They had to work hard for it, after all. All was going smoothly before they met their next-door neighbor. Nothing they have ever faced before could have prepared them for this.
Everything Was Going Well
The Old Playset
After the couple got rid of an old playset, the first problem arose. Tanya, an older woman who liked profanity T-shirts and leopard print, was introduced to them in this way. None of them were prepared to meet a person such as Tanya.
The Old Playset
Getting Rid Of It
She stormed over to their primary residence and informed them that they did not have the legal authority to dispose of her children’s belongings. Emily kept her cool and went on to point out two important points to their neighbor.
Getting Rid Of It
Reminding Her Of Two Things
To begin with, they discovered the old playset on their farm. When they inquired about it, the duplex landlord gave them the signal to get rid of it. Second, the neighbor was well aware of the property line, so it is a surprise that she bothered to do what she did.
Reminding Her Of Two Things
Be Considerate
The children were free to play in their own part of the yard, but they had to respect the room of others. Emily felt a bubble of hatred for this individual form within her after this incident…
Be Considerate
A Huge Private Shindig
The sound of loud music suddenly awakened her! Tanya seems to have interpreted the “kids can play” invitation to suggest that she will throw a big family party on the entire lawn. This didn’t sit well with Emily.
A Huge Private Shindig
A Huge Party
They were told to stay inside because the event was for “friends and family only.” Emily was enraged. This wasn’t even close to the worst of it. If something similar happened to you, we’re pretty sure you’d feel the same way Emily did.
A Huge Party
Confusion All-Around
Emily and her husband were in the living room at the time. From there, the noise was the quietest. Suddenly, one of the inebriated partygoers walked in! Emily informed the stranger that the house he was searching for was located on the opposite side of the street.
Confusion All Around
Wrong Move
He then told her, “Tanya said she owned the whole property and to use whichever bathroom.” Emily was taken aback by what he had just said. “Um… What?” she said. At this point, Emily was enraged after hearing what the drunk guest have told her.
Wrong Move
She Could Not Believe It
Tanya charged in a whirlwind of cheap perfume and leopard print, much to her surprise. Emily had the audacity to make her neighbor look bad in front of her guests, the neighbor yelled. Emily couldn’t believe what was happening, especially after what Tanya had said.
She Could Not Believe It
Don’t Make Her Look Bad
She also claimed that not allowing visitors to use the toilet for a short period of time was impolite. Tanya, on the other hand, didn’t stop there. She reprimanded the pair, telling them that they didn’t deserve such a big room to themselves. She wasn’t done yet, by the way.
Don’t Make Her Look Bad
They Wanted To Jazz It Up
Her boldness astounded the pair. They intended to teach her something. In any case, Emily and her husband decided to add a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen to their patio.
They Wanted To Jazz It Up
She Can Be Heard Over The Noise
It wouldn’t be cheap, but the laborers were happy to be compensated for their skills. Emily was moving some things around the patio when she heard a strange noise. Tanya could be heard over the loud noise of the ongoing construction.
She Can Be Heard Over The Noise
Telling Her Their Plans
“What’s going on here?” asked the neighbor. Emily went through all of the upgrades they were doing. Tanya’s eyes brightened as she listened to this. She was obviously working on a plan of her own. What was she about to do? Let’s find out.
Telling Her Their Plans
Party In The Yard
Emily had no idea that her next-door neighbor was organizing a new event in the yard that they “shared” at the time. She was too preoccupied with the construction to notice what was going on and what Tanya was up to.
Party In The Yard
Putting Up A Fence
Emily had been sipping her Cortado and watching the staff build a fence earlier in the day. It had been a quiet morning before she overheard another adult tantrum from her current place. Can you guess what it is that she heard?
Putting Up A Fence
New Boundary
Tanya was enraged by the fence that Emily had put out on their “shared” space. Emily exchanged a glance with her husband. This was obviously going to be a problem with this noisy neighbor. However, not long after that, a new character entered the scene.
New Boundary
Her Boyfriend Billy
Billy was Tanya’s boyfriend at the time. He began throwing his beer cans and cigarette butts over the fence and into Emily’s yard right away. He said he was doing this because they were “disrespecting his woman.” Which, as we all know, wasn’t exactly the case.
Her Boyfriend Billy
Trash
They were truly nefarious next-door neighbors. They still had noisy fights and late-night parties, which didn’t help matters. Billy was clearly siding with his girlfriend in this case. If we were in Emily’s case, we would have no idea how we would deal with something like this.
Trash
Trouble Was Brewing
You should also remember that Billy owned a 30-inch fishing boat. The issue was that they only had 15 inches of dockage on their side of the house. Since Emily was paying more for their side of the duplex, it was only reasonable that they would have more docking space.
Trouble Was Brewing
Docking Space
To be exact, they had 150 inches. Emily and her husband rented out the extra rooms to augment their income. Renters can secure their boats to the property line and make monthly payments. This did not go well with Tanya and Billy.
Docking Space
Something Was Wrong
Emily was taken aback when she saw a new review for renting out docking slots on the web. It was particularly unpleasant. The couple had been rude to them, according to the guy.
Something Was Wrong
She Finally Found Out
Emily and her husband were accused of breaking a verbal agreement to continue using the docking room for another three months. She was able to figure out what was going on after a quick phone call.
She Finally Found Out
They Reported It To The Cops
It was time to call it quits. She was enraged. When they were gone, Tanya and Billy must have claimed to be them. They requested that the client remove the boat, after which he parked his own fishing boat in the same place.
They Reported It To The Cops
Taking Action
Emily couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw what she did. This time, she intended to involve the cops. It was starting to get out of hand. She just can’t stand it any longer. She had to do something.
Taking Action
The Couple Fought Back
If Billy and Tanya didn’t want their boat to be “towed,” the cops told them to drive it right away. The couple screamed and said it was on their property. Which, as we all know, is obviously a big lie.
The Couple Fought Back
No One Owns It
Furthermore, the two of them went so far as to call Emily a liar. They then attempted a new strategy. In a desperate attempt to have things go their way, they went as for as to claim that no one “could own the water.”
No One Owns It
Starting To Feel Helpless
They would have had lovely mornings eating fruit salad and gazing at the ocean if it hadn’t been for the neighbors. With the cigarette butts and trash on the other side of the fence, it was unlikely to have any peaceful time.
Starting To Feel Helpless
It’s All Ruined
Worse, the weekly get-togethers were even more raucous. The naughty kids developed a new hobby of throwing fireworks at her ships. It was lucky that fate had finally caught up with him.
It’s All Ruined
It Went On And On
The problem lasted not only months but years. Thanks to the dreadful neighbor, the police even committed the address to memory. Emily was beginning to lose hope that they would have any peaceful time again.
It Went On And On
She Doesn’t Know What To Do Next
Tanya and Billy were turning their little corner of heaven into hell. She started to wonder if they should all leave and forget about all that had happened because they are starting to think that they have no chance of driving the annoying neighbor away.
She Doesn’t Know What To Do Next
Karma Is Finally Here
When the cops got involved, they still took her side, but it didn’t matter. It felt like they were wasting their time and effort when they had to spend their money. Stress had become an inextricable part of their lives.
Karma Is Finally Here
There’s Hope
When the landlord approached Emily with a new opportunity, Emily was on the verge of giving up. She must have been intrigued by it because she delayed leaving and refused to give up.
There’s Hope
A Flicker Of Hope
The older man was fed up with the housing market and refused to work as a landlord any longer. Dealing with the “crazy girl that never shuts her pie hole” was particularly aggravating to him. It was clear that the landlord was also getting tired of this particular woman.
A Flicker Of Hope
Easy Solution
Emily couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what she was saying. With the flick of a finger, he presented her with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to solve all of their problems. She could not believe how easy it would be!
Easy Solution
Offering To Sell It To Them
He was in desperate need of a buyer for the remaining half of the house. His first thought was to ask Emily and her husband if they were involved. Buying the house was an excellent choice for Emily because of various reasons.
Offering To Sell It To Them
Buy It!
For one thing, her elderly parents were able to join them in their home. She was relieved that the operation had gone without a hitch. As soon as the paperwork was done, she got to work on her strategy.
Buy It!
They Got Ready
They weren’t complete morons. They formed an LLC and double-checked the end of the lease on the duplex’s other side before the big day. Emily and her husband also prepared the notice papers.
They Got Ready
Rental Fee
She knocked on Tanya’s door with delight, handed her the letter, and demanded the rent. Emily must have gotten a kick out of the couple’s expression after seeing her handing them the letter.
Rental Fee
She Was Not Alone
Tanya had also moved in with her own mother, much to her surprise. Her daughter’s actions mortified the older woman. In fact, Tanya’s mother expressed regret for what had occurred over the previous few years.
She Was Not Alone
Her Mother Was There
“I didn’t raise my daughter to live like this!” she exclaimed to Emily. Tanya’s face flushed with humiliation and outrage as she realized what had happened. She was taken aback when she saw what had just occurred.
Her Mother Was There
Her New Friend
All this time, Emily had no idea that she would be able to form an alliance like this. They had a perfect way to keep the peace in the duplex, thanks to the older woman. Aside from that, she was also a great person to hang around with.
Her New Friend
All At Peace
Emily and the older woman will bake and drink every Wednesday evening. Tanya is going to be filled with anger the whole time. Of course, she would be upset, but there isn’t anything she can do about it.
All At Peace
It Was A Kind Gesture
Emily and her husband were not nefarious in any way. She was fine with them staying there at the same price before they could find a new place to live.
It Was A Kind Gesture
Enjoyed Their Time Together
Her feelings for the older lady became much stronger. Emily would find it difficult to say goodbye to her and their friendship, no matter how brief or abrupt the separation might be.
Enjoyed Their Time Together
Enjoying Paradise At Long Last
They eventually left the house after some time had passed. Their belongings were loaded into moving trucks and transported away. Tanya, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving quietly. She sent one more venomous letter to the mailbox.
Enjoying Paradise At Long Last
All Worth It
The fact that she did it on animal-print paper made it even more fun! Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She was now able to relax. Years after moving in, she could finally enjoy her own slice of paradise.
All Worth It
Happy Ending
It had taken a long time to get there, but it had been well worth the wait. She must have been pleased that she didn’t give up and persevered until she reached this stage. There was no doubt that all these years of tolerating Tanya weren’t in vain after what had happened in the end.
Happy Ending
If you loved that, take a look at this story where obnoxious neighbors are far too self-assured, but maintain that they aren’t breaking any rules. People sometimes struggle to co-exist with their neighbors for many reasons. Different values, ideals; it is hard to live along people who aren’t so like-minded.
Complete Disregard
The man went outside and was left completely flabbergasted. He was angry and had lost patience. Despite trying to initially fix the issue using a peaceful manner, he realized that alternative action would need to be taken.
Complete Disregard
The Audacity
He began looking up and down the rows and ranks of cars, trying not to spit. He was bold and he was naked and decided to undertake his final plan. He couldn’t go on living like this, it wasn’t fair to him and it wasn’t fair to everyone else feeling the same. He would teach them a lesson, and it would be sweet.
The Audacity
Leading A Peaceful Life
Nobody said that the blame must be laid on one single individual. A person can also enjoy better opportunities to get closer to the land in a rural area, neighborhood. This is similar to acquiring the ability to live peacefully alongside your neighbors. Davao Begovic believed it was true, but the proof certainly wasn’t in the pudding.
Leading A Peaceful Life
Neighbors Causing Headache
Davao enjoys a good life in the small village of Jakvec, based in the rural town of Davio, his current area of residence. Despite this, the harmony has been rocked recently; his neighbors have been seriously harassing him. He was trying to stay calm about the whole situation, but the bad feeling was starting to weigh heavily on him.
Neighbors Causing Headache
New Market
Davao owns a land mass in the heart of the village which operates as a weekend dairy farm. The market is certainly on more of a downwards spiral, but should remain growing at a reasonable pace for at least the immediate future. The area only has a population of 2,000 and with newer generations and modernizing lifestyles; this type of business is becoming less popular. A month or so ago, a market was even established near the house where he lived.
New Market
Just A Walk Away From His Home
Davao actually welcomed the market, as it would certainly reduce the amount of time it usually takes to purchase groceries. What Davao didn’t anticipate however, was the impact that the shopping center would have on his life. It was a completely new experience, previously unbeknownst to him.
Just A Walk Away From His Home
Parking Issues
The new market was already centered in the middle of the village, so obviously with growing popularity, the need for car park space would become increasingly relevant. Prior to demand, there wasn’t much availability to park. As a result, many customers would park on neighboring streets and decide to walk some of the way instead. This solution of sorts was evidently not a good enough solution, the issue still remained.
Parking Issues
No Parking Spaces
The new market generated a lot of interest and was very popular. Around the town, the market was the new hotspot to pickup groceries. It saw many of the residents and vendors visit. However, there clearly wasn’t adequate parking space to satisfy everyone’s needs. Many people came up with their own imaginative, or spontaneous solutions to their problems.
No Parking Spaces
Parking On His Land
People started to park on Davao’s field. They wanted a location where they were near enough to the market and decided that this would be a good option. To begin with, Davao had no response. In all honesty, a few cars parked really didn’t bother him, and they were often very friendly. However, people clearly prey on people’s good nature. Word had clearly spread that Davao was a pushover, and his field was the place to park. A few cars didn’t bother him, but this amount was absurd. The problem grew and was especially bad on weekends; sometimes it even prevented him from working! Something had to be done.
Parking On His Land
Selfish Drivers
Davao began to ask people politely not to park on his property. Naturally, the one’s he asked withdrew from the field and left, so it wasn’t an all-out free for all. Despite this, he couldn’t stay there all day instructing people not to park on his field, he had work to do. The desperation worsened for Davao and he sat down and began to think of longer-term solutions to this issue. It couldn’t go on. He was struggling though, he sat and thought but he was still left stumped.
Selfish Drivers
Left With No Options
Davao’s stress, paired with a lack of suitable options, lead to some pretty negative ideas. Davao considered slashing the cars’ tires. This was illegal though, and Davao was no criminal, but he was stressed. Erecting a barricade was another potential option, but this would certainly be expensive, and he couldn’t afford to lay out money like that. Davao had to find a way to keep people out without disturbing his daily work routine. A new strategy was in the offing.
Left With No Options
His Last Resort
Davao went outside one day and to his distress, there was only row after row of cars parking on the field! Davao inhaled deeply as he knew what he had to do. Laughing manically, he envisioned the mayhem he was just about to unleash on these ignorant drivers. He slowly walked over to the other side of his property, climbed into his large red tractor, and ignited the engine.
His Last Resort
He Caused A Commotion
Crashing into the parked cars, he kicked up dirt as he went further. He’d only gotten to this stage having reached his breaking point, but revenge was certainly a dish best served. People around the field stopped and gawped at Davao and his tractor. They couldn’t help but watch Davao execute his revenge plan on these selfish drivers.
He Caused A Commotion
No Way Out
Davao (in the tractor) dug deep trenches around the entire field, progressing further and further through the rows of vehicles. Their tiny vehicles struggled to drive through the turned-over mud and uneven surfaces. Their situation was difficult, and Davao was pleased. Onlookers who were unaffected by the situation began to laugh, while a particular onlooker even videoed the whole event! One woman on the other hand was very unhappy.
No Way Out
It Was A Mess
Drivers tried to drive their cars away, and each one (armed with lots of shopping) found themselves in a difficult situation. Those that had parked along the street could easily exit without being trapped in mud. The other vehicles however, were in a tougher spot. They were stuck. One particular driver still attempted to flee the scene, however.
It Was A Mess
They Weren’t Happy
One woman, the owner of a silver Peugeot, was not pleased with Davao’s conduct. She struggled into her car and attempted to drive out of the field, huffing, and puffing. Before she went too far, her wheels were stuck in the mud. She was not, however, the sort to give up easily.
They Weren’t Happy
She Did Something Unexpected
The aggrieved woman swerved her car from left to right. She tried going in reverse, forward; she tried everything in attempt to free her vehicle from the situation. The result was disastrous. The car only seemed deeper in mess. She angrily left her car and marched towards Davao. He was prepared for a fight however. She did something that even surprised Davao, though.
She Did Something Unexpected
She Called The Cops
She called the cops! This is surprising, to say the least. Any rational person can see that Davao is not in the wrong here, but she was undeterred. The police arrived at the scene to a sea of angry car owners. They surrounded the police, demanding that the farmer’s passive-aggressive tactics be dealt with.
She Called The Cops
Hearing Him Out
Some of the angry drivers were demanding that the police arrest Davao! He was confused with this overreaction, but grinning at the result of his act. When confronted by the police officers, he told them how these parked cars were all illegally trespassing on his private property as they were too lazy to walk across the street. After speaking with Davao, they had no choice but to side with Davao. The car owners were certainly in the wrong.
Hearing Him Out
The Law Was On His Side
It was time for the police officers to deliver the blow to the other drivers. No deliberate harm was done by Davao to harm any vehicles, he simply tended to his own land. There was nothing that the police could do to help the drivers. On the other hand, the police had every right to help Davao. The drivers were trespassing and could be charged.
The Law Was On His Side
Getting The Last Laugh
Davao had every right to pursue legal action against the drivers. Trespassing was certainly a crime and he even considered doing it for a hot second. However, he ultimately decided that they had already received enough punishment. Nobody would park on his property ever again, that’s for sure. His video was published online and began receiving a lot of media attention. The internet and press both went crazy for it!
Getting The Last Laugh
A Win For The Farmer
Globally, Davao was praised for both the initial plan, and the execution. Everyone loved how he finally got his sweet revenge, completely legally, and then didn’t pursue charges after. It showed Davao’s character and he became an overnight sensation. “Farmer wasn’t grumpy, he was smart,” one viewer commented. On private land, no one has the right to park. “Way to go!”
A Win For The Farmer
He Was Praised
“Excellent. I’m sure it didn’t cost him anything, he didn’t involve the government, and he got his point across! Others were less than impressed, citing that in their neighborhood, disputes are usually settled simply by talking. Regrettably, not everyone is raised in this manner…” Another reader chimed in with their two cents. On the other side, the video depicts a growing problem with illegal parking, which people are unwilling to accept.
He Was Praised
Fighting Illegal Parking
There has been a video of a group of Brazilian pranksters recently circulating online. They were attempting to quickly punish a driver who had driven illegally in a handicap spot, and it had gone viral. The entire car was covered in blue and white post-it notes! The prank was effective in more than one way. It brings attention to how long the car has been unattended for, and the white notes funnily produce the handicap sign. The driver was infuriated and stormed off, but the video went viral nonetheless. However, this is only the beginning of how funny retaliations to illegal parking can be.
Fighting Illegal Parking
Revenge Against Illegal Parkers
Just like in Davio, people are becoming more and more annoyed with illegal parking, and have concocted many funny and creative solutions. Most people will simply stay quiet and go on with our lives, but there are some unsung heroes out there who fight for the little guy. They will not put up with this annoyance, so be careful for the future!
