When the neighbor said he didn't have a problem maintaining his lawn as a new father, I absolutely would've replied "well, my wife & I decided to put not raising a crackhead over keeping the lawn perfect. But I respect ur right to choose the other direction". Lol
It takes less than an hour to mow your lawn. If OP couldn't find an hour in three weeks, HE'S probably a crackhead. Dude needs to go back to the trailer park if he wants to live like that.
@@SkunkApe407 how many hours does oo work each week? What time does he get home?Exactly how much daylight is left when op gets home? If u don't know the answers to all of those questions, ur talking out of ur a$$. SDSTFU.
Yeah, the moment he said that I was just like "Oh, so you were one of those husbands that expected the wife to take care of the kids." Now, I do want to say that, if that's what the both of them wanted, then it's up to them. It's just a different dynamic, and has no bearing on OP's way of doing things.
Fiancee as Bubbles: **To Heather** "Your bride dress looked amazing for a cheap costume." OP as Mojo Jojo: "That's the evilest thing I can ever imagine."
I heard the wedding dress story from Reddit Brew. She pointed out that OP's father and step monster allowed Heather to wear a wedding dress to her half sister's engagement party and OP was the one being childish? The step mother was an enabler and the father has no spine and goes along with what those 2 witches wanted. OP should cut out her father because it's very clear that the father would always choose his new family over her. Bye, Felicia.
I don't even know why OP is in contact with the father and his new family in the first place... not only did he get two women pregnant at the same time, he makes it obvious who the favorite daughter and wife are by letting them disrespect OP. If it were me, it would've been little to no contact, and I would've not invited them to my wedding at all.
That was exactly what I was thinking. "I never had problems with maintaining my house when I was a new father" "Oh yeah? Maybe that lack of priority for your children is why your son is such a bother"
I have four kids and have been involved in every aspect of their lives. I still manage to find an hour per week to maintain my lawn. OP is using his kid as an excuse to be lazy.
OP with the neighbor: Please stay safe. Your neighbor confessed to beating someone to the point of a TBI. (Even if he just made it up, which I hope he did.)
Not. Op's dad is completely wrong here. The mere fact that she had to one up op qt her own wedding, or reception or whatever, proves she needed that wake up to reality. Not everything in life has to be all about her regardless of her main character syndrome
During the story about the wedding dress, I appreciate you describing it because I am completely blind. And despite this, your videos have helped me well be able to make progress for the day without losing my sanity. Thanks again man.
I'm blind too, but I have a very small amount of vision. He was probably describing the dress for his podcast listeners, but I still appreciated it nonetheless.
I laughed at the Heather story because my wife and I got married on a budget right before she went to basic training. I got myself a dress that looked almost exactly like that. It was on sale for $100 and was technically a prom dress XD
@@Roozyj Actually, I am a man! My wife and I are both trans, so at the time I was the wife and she was the husband lol. We both transitioned when we found out how we both felt and that we accepted one another! But thank you XD
I was thinking that too. From all that bragging he did, he sounds like he was the kind of man that had very little to nothing to do with helping raise his own child and had the poor mum do it all. 🤔
I love that OP flipped the script on Heather and made it a costume party. Heather was so damn petty she deserved the petty revenge. I am kinda curious what happened at the wedding though? It seems like Heather needs to be the center of attention or loses her mind. She already did the wedding gown thing so Im curious what she did or tried to do for the wedding.
So, I've called the cops on a neighbour more than once(same one each time). But that was after a long time and many, many times of me and other neighbours trying to talk with them about loud music at night. Mostly, to make calling the cops about a neighbour as your first option is just shitty. Even shittier to just do it for a unmowed lawn.
Love the story of the wedding, as a fellow fan of Halloween, I'd love this to be my wedding. Granted; that's probably years away lol. Also love the fact that the fiance and op went as Bubbles and Mojo Jojo
god i have the exact same neighbor as that guy. the same thing happened to us when our son was born. constantly calling the village, leaving aggressive notes in our mailbox, the whole works. i wish i couldve actually done anything about it. we just rent our house so our landlord would hear the complaints first and then come to us about them and we actually had to obey their every command to keep the peace. seriously cant wait to own my own house.
With the neighbour story put forth a restraining order for fear of personal safety to the point he can't even enter his own house that'll be a middle finger for roger
Or, and hear me out, OP could stop using his newborn as an excuse to be lazy. If his neighbor is close enough to walk next-door, that lawn can be mowed in less than an hour. He hasn't mowed in three weeks, and admits that the grass was a foot tall. That's just trashy behavior, and his jerk of a neighbor is actually justified in taking issue with OP's negligence. Unkempt yards are a health and safety issue. Long story short, OP is a trashy, lazy jerk, and he wouldn't be having neighbor problems if he took maybe an hour a week to keep his yard from looking like a trailer park lot.
@@SkunkApe407 you really going to ignore the fact rogar was threatening, harassing, controlling and had history of beating someone to the point of partial brain death and instead complain about op being the lazy one here? Ok you do you
@@SkunkApe407 OP owns the property. OP is free to do with it whatever the fuck he wants (as long as he doesn't explicitly violate city regulations). This ain't Communist Russia.
@@shadowmewfred09 One, it's Roger. Two, his history wouldn't even have been brought up had OP maintained his lawn like a civilized human in the first place. His low-rent, trailer park habits brought all this about. OP bought a house, but couldn't buy class.
Truth be told, it would have taken him far less time and effort to just mow the yard normally. He's putting more initiative into being a petty jerk than he is into being a decent neighbor. There's no excuse for letting your yard go three weeks between cuts. OP is using his newborn as an excuse to be a trashy, lazy neighbor. OP could easily find an hour a week to mow his yard, he just chooses not to.
@@sixxsoup I have four kids and own a home on 1/3 of an acre. I keep my lawn maintained myself, and manage to be a good dad. Never had a single issue with a neighbor either. Heck, it's 10am and I just finished doing my lawn. I'm actually typing this while getting ready to take my wife and youngest to the beach for the afternoon. They're called priorities. You should probably get yours sorted, as should OP.
*First OP:* It costs $0 to be kind, but it costs $40 to be a BH (the male Karen; not OP). *Reply to First OP:* I hope the person who did take Audi's spot didn't get their vehicle keyed. *Second OP:* I thought OP was going to meet the trolley guy on the seventh floor, then push all the buttons on the elevator. I guess OP's original plan works, too, lol. *Third OP:* Roger told on himself? Not only is he a p5ych0path, but he's dumb as well. *Fourth OP:* This might be the best Petty Revenge story I've read in recent memory. OP's fiance sounds like a gem. On a serious note, OP might need to go "no contact" with her dad, stepmom, and Heather.
Wrt the reply to the first story: honestly the better nice would've been to move the cone back at every opportunity. Wrt third story: Roger's a POS. It's not surprising that his son is an obnoxious drug addict.
I really thought the druggie son of the neighbor side story was going somewhere. One possible move would be when the neighbor challenges OP to call the cops, start telling them about the drug house and watch the neighbor's eyes widen as he starts pleading for him to stop.
With the elevator story, the guy probably wasn't using his cart to block things up. Instead he's probably abusing a special mode of the elevator called "Independent Service", which gives the operator full control of the elevator. This includes ignoring hall calls. As for your own proposed revenge, most elevator control systems are configured for anti-nusance. If you attempt to push all the destinations on the elevator panel, it'll either ignore everything after the 3rd-4th or drop all cab requests.
Couriers don't usually have access to an apartment building elevator's independent service function. You need a key from the building manager to activate it.
@@danielbrant6740 You do know how trivial it is to buy those keys, right? Anyone can do it if they know what panels they interact with, because they are all keyed-alike across brands.
@@SableDrakon or just rake or jiggle them open most of the time. elevator keyholes are usually lack any security features, so a waverake (or something similar fashioned out of, i don't know, a hairpin) works wonders
@@thedarkdragon1437 True. But what looks more suspicious? Someone using a key or someone with a z-bar and a wave rake? Nobody is going to notice the guy with the key.
i've seen some of the couriers do this. block the elevator doors with their trolley as they go deliver. my building has two elevators. but at least they have the courtesy to leave when they see someone waiting to get on.
I think there’s a cross over where women who wear white gowns to weddings just want an excuse to wear their dream dress, not to be the bride. But I guess that’s kind of the same thing, because a wedding is an excuse for the bride to wear her dream dress.
Last story: Pretty sure what those debt collectors did is highly illegal. Why would ANYONE keep the contact info of an ex they dont want to here from anymore? It's not YOUR job as the ex to deliver that message. Its THEIR job as debt collectors to ensure they have the right person.
Debtor shops often call the wrong folks when they lose track of their clients, too. Man! I didn't know you could make automatic repetitive calls like that!
@@supertechtoo1872 Oh, yeah! If you dont have the energy to make the calls yourself you can easily write a program that will do it for you. I wouldn't be too surprised if there were apps for Apple and Android that simplifies the process even further.
In high school one of my friends lived next door to a "Roger". (No idea what his real name was.) We were both in taekwondo and would practice the more difficult moves like the 540 kick and stuff outside since he had a lot of room and the grass made for a nice cushion if you don't stick the landing. Roger would call the cops on us for fighting. We weren't even so much as sparring, we were practicing moves in open air! Anyway the first time the police stuck around and watched us practice moves, and complimented us before leaving. That pissed the neighbor off so much that he stuck his ass out one of his windows and took a shit. You read that correctly. Ass, hanging out the window, poop dropping to the ground. On his own property. I dunno if he thought we'd be offended by it or something, but he got the opposite reaction. We started laughing our fool heads off. Which I guess did the job because you can't practice moves if you're doubled over from laughter. Anyway I think he called the cops on us a few more times, because every now and then a cop car would roll through the alley and watch us for a few seconds. We'd wave, they'd drive off. The final straw was when he decided he'd annoy us to death by standing in his back yard banging a couple pans together for seemingly no reason other than to make noise. (What other reason is there to bang pans together for several minutes?) Thing is, we were athletic teenagers that drank entirely too much Mountain Dew, he was an old man. He tired out WAY before we did. But that was the moment my friend decided he had to retaliate. His dad kept a gas can in the garage for filling up the lawnmower, and it just so happened to be nearly full. So in the middle of the night, long after everyone had gone to bed, he snuck out and drew a dick in the guy's front lawn with gasoline. Before long the bright green grass had faded to yellow, and it was a couple months before the yellow lawn dick finally grew back green.
I wish you had taken a video of “Roger” standing in the yard banging pans together to show the police. Or at least post to social media. That is a public nuisance and noise complaint.
@@stephanien6237 This was well before social media was a thing. The Internet barely even existed. I mean I suppose if I owned a camcorder and had it with me I could have sent it in to America's Funniest Home Videos to see if it would get featured on TV, but most people didn't even carry cameras. If you were cool you might have had a pager.
That's not actually how break-ins work, as much as people like to believe that you're able to defend your home, you are to to an extent. You're only able to use deadly force if someone actually threatens you, so if someone breaks in to your house you can pull gun on them and tell them that you will shoot if they don't get out, but you're not actually allowed to shoot them unless they are actively threatening your person, so if any lunch at you with a weapon or they pull out like a gun sure you can shoot them because that's self-defense. If you think someone might hurt you you could probably get away with knocking them down but bat and maybe knocking them unconscious afterwards, but bluging them repeatedly with a bat won't fly unless they are like Andre the Giant and can take a fair amount of hits without actually going down. Two wrongs don't make a right.
That story about Roger the lawn critic kinda sucked. There was no revenge. Not even petty revenge. Don't like hearing of jerks that just get to go on with their day having no real repercussions for their actions. This one was lame
When I lived in an apartment building, we had a delivery person hold one of the elevators with their cart. Every time I saw them do it. I moved their cart and sent the elevator down to the basement (I lived on the 11th floor), then I would take the other elevator to the lobby.
Loved the story where the sister . Got her own back on the entitled witch . By changing the theme to a costume party .So when it turned up it wasn't the stand out it thought .it would be loved what fiance said to
That neighbor story is just nuts but not as bad as a case in London, Ontario. So to make things short and simple this guys and his neighbors werent on the best of terms the how and why is unknown to me because my dad is the one who told me about this but what ended up happening was this: this guys neighbors started to FIRE BOMB HIS HOUSE, so the guy goes into his house and gets his REGISTERED firearm loaded it, shot three times into a tree and then the RCMP (or as their more commonly known Mounties) charged the Gun owner with negligence because he "loaded his firearm too fast" guy spent over 100,000 CA in court what happened to his neighbors is unknown to me but best guess is their still in jail I hope
That elevator story. Oof. People here frequently toggle the door hold switch to keep the elevator on their floor. Only one of the two elevators has a floor display on 1, which will flash DH if someone does this, so you can usually head to the floor to shut it off. When they do it to the other one, well I've seen people wait five minutes, just confused.
Hold up, I wanna hear more about the wedding... He (what I assume) cheats on your mom and then marries a woman who becomes your step mom, who treats you bad. Then shows up to your wedding an hour late... There's gotta be some more stories about entitled parents or AITA from this person.
Just gonna say the first ops story is the quickest way for your car to get keyed or your tires cut. Just cause you can get petty doesn't mean you should. Will that guys attitude really ruin your day, no. Will you have a neighbor who now has a personal reason to vandalize your car, yes. Will it cost you more than $40, yup.
RE: Parking spot drama This is why I would prefer assigned spots Re: My lawn isn't what my neighbor wants Geez! Why some neighbors are like this? Like don't you have anything better to do than to pay attention to everyone's lawn? Re: My sister tried to wear a wedding dress to my engagement Once again, you don't wear a white dress to a wedding or in this case an engagement party unless you want drama! This is how you get drama! Props to OP for finding a fun way to diffuse the situation! Re: Over 60 voicemails for a debt collector I get calls from debt collectors but I'm not as petty as OP! I would rather not talk to them over the phone.
11:37 I can tell with the way Roger acts, there's a 97% probability there's gonna be a sequel, the first follow up will be naybers from hell, and after that, more pettiness
Roger reminds me of a neighbor that used to live next door. My wife had planted some stuff on the property line, on our side of it. Apparently the neighbor didn't like her plant choices so one night he sprays the entire property line with plant killer. I didn't know he had done this but when everything died we started over and replanted. I had noticed that the line of dead plants was really straight, like to straight so I turned one of my outside cameras that direction. One night I get a motion alarm for that area and I see him out there spraying. As soon as he finished and went back into his house I grabbed my hose and sprayed the entire area towards his lawn. My plants had a hard time but survived, his lawn however was a brown mess that took about a year to come back. I let him know exactly what I did and would do again if he tried it again. Never had another issue with the guy 🤣
14:21 that reminds me of the one time my parents decided to dress as a pirate (my dad) and a bar wench (my mom) for Halloween one year which is perfect because my dad always jokingly called my mom a wench from across the room when he needed something from her They were married until my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018 so yeah they lived a long and very happy life😊 And ever since then I’ve kind of taken up the mantle of jokingly calling my mother a wench and I also do the Jacksepticeye joke of “MA, HEY MA, I DID A THING, IT’S AWESOME!” And she just rolls with it because my mom’s cool like that😂
My old boss was always weird about where he parked!!! I think I have commented on some ridiculous things he has done before on previous posts but here goes. He moved to a seaside town and he "retired" into a block of flats with his wife........who worked 2 or 3 jobs because he couldn't work anymore apparently!!! Anyways I was told that this his new residence was a 1st come 1st serve car park and he went round to his new neighbours and told them that a certain parking space was his and no one was to park init!!! He never drove anywhere he just sat at home all day while his wife was a work!! Don't think it went over well as they moved back not long after 🤣🤣
I used to start balling when the X's debt collector's called going on about locked psyc wards and how he took me for tens of thousands. They never called me back.
About the 4th story, in what world is beating someone over the head with a baseball bat until they're permanently disabled "self-defense"? In any sane country you'd go to prison for that.
The elevator guy: the right call would have been to get push the trolley inside while the delivery guy was away, send it down to the basement while having pushed every button on the way. That way, he would have had a good scare on top of it and would have had a good incentive not to do it again.

As a curior, I feel for the guy in the third stort. Ive had to hold elevators so I can do my job. HOWEVER Im so concious about inconviencing other people. Usually, People would try to get on the elevator only to see me with a big trolly of items and deciding to wait. Thankfully, I rarely ever had to do deliveries more than one floor. Curse those skyscrapers with no freight elevator
11:00 OP brought a lot of pain on himself by not showing some malicious compliance when Roger tried to duck with him. But I guess OP was too busy being intimate with his wife to bother!
I wore a dress identical to that for my senior prom. Which my boyfriend forgot about so was completely underdressed and no corsage and I didn’t give him his boutonnière because he didn’t have a jacket to put it on, no photos except a face shot my mom took.
@@stephanien6237 I was really insecure about the way I looked at the time so I didn’t like taking pictures of myself and my mom wanted some but we didn’t have money for them at the dance so she took one of my face before i left. I don’t really mind, we took photos at a few of the dances prior.
Story 3: the elevador- you forgot to mention to let out a big eggy fart into the elevator just before the doors closed. Now that would be nuclear petty.
You can call the cops if the grass is not mown? Where does that happen? Sounds like that’s what OP needs to prod him into keeping his property up. We have never let our grass get a foot high. If my neighbors did that I’d be mad too. It makes your house look abandoned and the neighborhood look crappy. Cut your lawn or hire a kid to do it for you. Have some pride in ownership. Who won’t even pick up newspapers but let’s them melt into the lawn? It takes like 30 seconds to pick papers up.
Huh? I'm always amazed at the excuses some new parents come up with. A new baby doesn't mean you don't have time to pick up the newspaper. It also isn't a tipping point for neighbors to complain about the "mess." If OP wanted to be truly petty, he should have spread the newspapers around the base of the plants, and tell the nosy neighbor that it's mulch and will break down on its own.
Im glad Im a confrontational person, a neighbor tried telling my mom that he was gonna call the cops at every sound she made. He wasnt as aggresive when i got in his face and "helped" him understand i dont like people speaking to my mother aggresively. He never leaves when im there now.
I think the neighbor is nuts, but OP... you're telling me that you couldn't take 1 minute to grab your paper everyday. Baby's are hard work, but they sleep like 20 hours a day for the first couple of weeks. You could even take him outside with you. Letting the papers "melt into your driveway" is kind of ridiculous.
Many decades ago I had a friend that had someone using the traffic cone trick to save parking spots. He used some kind of industrial epoxy glue from his job and cemented it in place. Then sat on his balcony with a beer and watched the fun.
