Entitled Neighbor Learns Harsh Lesson

Years had gone into making it. After numerous police calls and plenty of drama motivated by retaliation, they were finally in a position to take action against the awful person.

A wide smile spread across her face, and she rang the doorbell before passing over the document that would forever change everything.

Everything They’ve Dreamed Of

The Swansons had devoted years to saving for their dream home in Hawaii. It was their dream for as long as they could remember.

They eventually rented a lovely, 5-bedroom piece of paradise with a large backyard and oceanfront dock thanks to thrifty living and a little bit of good fortune in the market. Up until she met the neighbor, everything appeared to be wonderful.

The First Time

Emily threw away an old playset when she and her husband experienced the first explosion.

Tanya, a strong woman with an abnormal obsession for obscene t-shirts and leopard print, came up and yelled that they were wrong to steal her kids’ toys. Emily quietly reminded her of two very crucial things while controlling her rage.

Compromise

In the first place, the set was on their property, and the landlord of both duplexes approved its removal.

Second, she was aware of the location of the property border and said that the kids could play there as long as they were considerate of others’ property. Already, Emily was overcome with strong hate for the individual. She did, however, hear thumping music a few weeks later.

Taking Things Too Far

Leopard Lady had interpreted the “kids can play” invitation as permission to throw a massive family gathering that covered the entire yard.

They were sternly told to remain inside because it was a “friends and family only” gathering, and Emily erupted. Then came the shocking twist, which made Emily’s blood boil.

The Whole Property

One of the inebriated partygoers from Leopard Lady’s party wandered in as Emily and her husband sought refuge in their living room from the ruckus.

The house of Emily’s neighbor was located on the other side of the property, she informed the stumbling guy. “Tanya claimed she owned the whole property and to use any bathroom,” he said. Emily exclaimed with shock, “Um… What?!” But a few seconds later, her spoiled neighbor barged in while yelling.

Rude Remarks

Emily’s neighbor stormed in, yelling at Emily for making her look awful in front of her guests and how inconsiderate Emily was to not spare just one toilet in a whirlwind of gaudy leopard print and cheap perfume.

Tanya proceeded to criticize Emily and her husband, claiming they didn’t deserve so much personal space. Emily couldn’t take any more of this disrespect. She knew what she needed to do next.

Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands

It was time to give Tanya the punishment she deserved. Additionally, because they would already be spending money, why not renovate the patio, install a firepit, and construct an outdoor kitchen?

Even if the price was excruciating, the items were of high quality, and the staff was highly qualified. When Emily overheard something strange, she was shifting some items around the terrace. Her neighbor was right there in the center of the construction.

Making Improvements

The woman exclaimed angrily, “What’s going on here?” Emily made the decision to inform her of the renovations. Tanya’s eyes glowed with rage when she learned of the yard’s upgrades.

Emily went away with a wicked grin spreading over her face as that horrible woman was already preparing for her upcoming party in the “shared” yard.

Installing A Fence

Emily watched the workers install a fence with complete joy as she sipped her morning coffee. The sound of more adult temper outbursts reverberated over the calm Saturday morning.

Tanya was indignant about the new fence. She and her husband exchanged rolling eyes. The not-so-passive aggressive war had begun. Billy then came into the picture.

Billy

Billy was Tanya’s boyfriend. He immediately threw his cigarette butts and beer cans over the fence and into Emily’s yard for “disrespecting his woman.”

He and Tanya became true neighbors from hell, having loud arguments and parties at all hours of the night. Billy was obviously on Tanya’s side about the fence fiasco. And Billy also had a boat.

Trouble Brewing

It was a 30-inch fishing boat, to be precise. Only Tanya’s side of the property was only allocated 15 inches of dockage. Emily’s side of the property, the larger and more expensive side of the duplex, was blessed with around 150 inches of docking space.

To make some extra money, Emily and her husband would rent the extra docking spaces that they didn’t need on a month-to-month basis, and renters would tie up their boats on their property line. So, what did Billy and Tanya decide to do?

Something Fishy

One day, Emily was perplexed to find that someone had left a nasty review for her on the site that they used to rent out the docking spaces.

The disgruntled customer said that Emily and her husband were rude and had not honored a verbal agreement to let them use the space for three more months. After a phone call, Emily quickly put two and two together.

Calling The Cops

Emily was furious. The couple had posed as her and her husband while they were out of town, had rudely told the renter to remove their boat, and had audaciously parked Billy’s fishing boat in the space!

Unbelievable! Emily wasted no time. Now it was her turn to call the cops. The situation was getting well out of hand.

Argument

The cops ordered Tanya and Billy to move the boat immediately, or it would be “towed.” Tanya and Billy began to scream that the boat was on their property and that Emily was a liar.

Then, they switched tack and screamed that nobody “could own the water.” After this final incident, Emily vowed to get payback… and she didn’t care if it took years to get it.

Helpless

It was supposed to be years of blissful mornings with fruit salad and watching the ocean. Instead, cigarette butts and other garbage were tossed over regularly.

Weekly parties became louder and louder, and Tanya’s horrible children’s new favorite pastime was throwing lit fireworks at her boat. Emily felt helpless. But karma was just around the corner.

Giving Up

Months turned into years, and the police eventually knew their address by heart because it was the horrible neighbor’s main ammunition. Emily turned despondent as her heavenly paradise turned sour and rotten.

She had just about given up on her dreams and even considered moving just to get away from it all. But then, fate stepped in.

Karma Comes Knocking

It didn’t matter that the police sided with Emily every single time. Each financial installment in their rent-to-own property felt more like a devastating investment into misery.

Sickening stress was now a constant in their life. She was on the verge of giving up altogether when the landlord suddenly offered a very interesting opportunity.

Glimmer Of Hope

The housing market was insane, and the old man was tired of being a landlord – especially to the “crazy girl that never shuts her pie hole.”

Emily’s jaw dropped to the ground as he offered the wonderful, utterly magical solution to all of her problems. Fruit salad and tranquility would be in her future again!

Wanna Buy?

The old man was desperate to sell the other half of the duplex … and wanted to give the first chance to Emily and her husband!

She felt a new surge of joy swell in her heart at the idea. It was extra great because she would be able to move her aging parents in beside them. It didn’t take long for the paperwork to go through and the final plan to unfold.

Getting Ready

They weren’t idiots. Before the glorious day, they made an LLC and confirmed the end of the lease was soon – as well as had the notice papers ready.

It was with immeasurable pleasure she knocked on leopard lady’s door, handed over the notice, and asked for the rent. But that wasn’t the best part.

Surprise Ally

It turned out the wretched neighbor had just moved her mother in! The old woman wasn’t just mortified at her daughter’s behavior; she repeatedly and sincerely apologized for everything that had happened over the years.

“I didn’t raise my daughter to act like this kind of maniac!” Leopard lady turned beet red with rage and embarrassment.

New Friend

It was an alliance Emily would have never imagined.

Not only did the old mother keep an exquisite and effective peace, but she also ended up being a very pleasant company. Every Wednesday evening, Emily and the woman had drinks and baked – and each time, Tanya blistered in silent anger. But one thing held true.

Kind Gesture

Emily and her husband weren’t malicious people. She was more than happy to let them stay at base-necessity rent until they managed to find a new home.

Part of her was going to miss the old woman and their sudden, brief friendship. She was the neighbor she had dreamed of the entire time. In the end?

Time To Enjoy

The house was finally emptied, and moving trucks sped away. There was one last spiteful (yet hilarious) letter left in their mailbox – on animal print paper, no less.

Now, Emily could finally breathe. It was time to enjoy their slice of paradise.
