Some neighbors are rather understanding. Maybe they would knock on your door peacefully and ask you nicely to park somewhere else. Then you get the awful neighbor who is too cowardly to ask you to your face. They would rather leave a snide note on your car.

So, this person figured they could handle things nicely by giving their neighbor a heads-up that their car was blocking them in. But instead of a quick reply, they got something like, “Hold your horses, I’ll be done when I’m done.” Well, that didn’t sit too well, so they decided to take it up a notch and towed the whole darn car out of the way.

This not-so-great neighbor, they’re all about getting rid of these pollinators just because they’re helping their garden. Yeah, that’s sure to make their garden thrive, right?

This Reddit user, u/Dahhhkness, shared a story about their horrible neighbor who is just always up to no good. They love to stick nails in people’s car tires, especially on Sundays. They wrote: “She has a penchant for going around sticking nails in people’s tires at night. This has happened dozens of times to nearly everyone on the street, though she’s slowed down since more people started installing video cams and motion-sensor lights in their driveways.

They continued, “She’s just one of those misanthropic people who gets a kick out of others’ misfortune. She’s done it for almost 20 years, apparently; her favorite night to do it is Sunday when she also goes picking through people’s recycling on the curb for cans and bottles. The lucky people find the nails and screws before they go out driving, but others have had their tires pop on the expressway.”

Honestly, it’s a bit of a risky move if you ask me.

16. Aweful Neighbors in Denial

Let’s not forget, that it’s pretty clear that these neighbors are past the point of no return in terms of getting along. It’s like this car tow is just the grand finale of an ongoing feud they’ve been having. But you’ve got to hand it to them, sending condolences for a car they’ve just towed does take some real wit.

18. She Must Be Joking?
