‘My nightmare neighbour was making my life hell – so I got ultimate revenge’

A row between two neighbours reached boiling point after a man took revenge when his next-door neighbour made his “life miserable”.

Taking to the social media platform Reddit, the man explained how he had moved to a new house in March and now shares a private drive with several other houses.

As the residents share the driveway, they collectively pay for snow removal, the person added. However, he mentioned that this year that service was no longer available due to his rude neighbour, forcing an elderly neighbour to clean his own drive.

The person wrote: “The reason they will no longer service our private drive is the j*** neighbor would park his truck in a way that made it impossible for them to remove the snow without hand shoveling.

“This meant this winter we had to hand shovel the private drive ourselves.”

The person continued: “Three times this winter myself any all of my neighbors (Including a 75+ year old man who has no business being outside shoveling snow) hand shoveled the entire private drive, all except for j*** that is. On one occassion right as we finish shoveling j*** drives out the freshly shoveled driveway without even looking at us.

“As I understand it j*** doesn’t care about snow removal because he has a truck. According to him, his truck can get over snow fine, so he shouldn’t have to pay for snow removal.. Another thing that really irks me about this j*** is he apparently he bullies the elderly neighbor on our private drive.”

The social media user recalled having a confrontation with the neighbour and explained how he was asked by the neighbour to move the garden waste away from the driveway.

The user added: “I say the grass died there because the city took two months to come and collect it last time. He says he moved it for me this time, and it’s then that I notice that my pile of garden waste was moved an extra 100 feet further away.”

However, it was not at all.

The user shared: “I got home and told my GF to start the car and pick me up at the end of the driveway(we were on our way out), I had more to say to j***. I walk back to the end of the driveway where j*** is still waiting, I say ‘I’m going to leave the garden waste there, because that is where the city comes to collect it’ as I point to the spot where I initially left it.

“I continue ‘If there is a problem with that, you can have the owner of the house contact me’. He immieditely goes ‘I’m the owner”, and I cut him off with “As I understand it, you’re a renter, is that correct?’.

“He nods his head. I say ‘Thats fine, just have the owner contact me about anything, I actually need to talk to the owner about snow removal so it would be great to talk to him’, as I start walking away. He says ‘wait just talk to me’, and I go ‘No thanks, I’m only interested in talking to the owner’. At that point my GF made it to the end of the driveway and picked me up, and we drove off. At this point I felt vindicated, its essentially the end of the story, but I noticed something odd when we came home later that night that gave me an extra kick of laughter.. When we are pulling into the driveway I notice that the pile of garden waste was moved back to the initial spot, which implies j*** actually moved it twice…”

Social media users rushed to comment on the post, with many praising the petty revenge.

A person wrote: “Y’all should have shoveled the snow into his driveway. Truck or not, a big enough wall of snow, he’s not getting out.”

Another one wrote: “It’s an act of God that all the snow fell in that one spot”
