There’s nothing worse than living next to people you can’t stand. Each day, you feel more and more unsafe. Plus, it’s super stressful and depressing.

One Reddit user shared her family’s experience with not-so-kind neighbors.

Living in Central Europe, the family has had problems with their neighbors for several years already. In fact, their disputes go back generations.

For years, they put up with everything their entitled neighbors did.

MihaM12 shared:

“We live in a small private neighborhood, the neighbors are related to us more or less (distant relatives). Everybody here is a complete nutjob. They were constantly arguing over decades before me or my brother were even born.”

The source of their family’s problem was a piece of their land.

She wrote:

“Our property lines are kinda like a square and it is surrounded by road from two sides. Keep in mind that on one part of the road we let our neighbors use 1 square meter of the land so they could use the dirt road safer and not damage our property. This is crucial information.”

Actually, the small piece of land wasn’t their only problem.

She continued:

“This road is made of gravel. The neighbors want my parents and only my parents to pay for the entire cost to lay an asphalt road. My dad and my mother are constantly fixing potholes for 90% of the road, so naturally, our neighbors thought that they will pay for the asphalt road. Classic r/choosingbeggars.”

Fast forward to 20 years, and their problem has gotten worse.

“One day my neighbors order a massive truck filled with tons of wood. The truck driver runs over our fence. Nobody wanted to pay for the property damage that was caused. Our fence is made out of multiple bushes, trees and a little bit of metal fence too. These plants were now completely destroyed and a part of a metal fence completely bent. We had to replant these plants and place a new metal fence. My father told me this was not the first time this happened but actually third. I couldn’t believe it when I heard this,” the Reddit user continued sharing.

The family has finally had enough of their neighbor’s treatment.

While most people would choose to remain silent or file a case, they chose to solve the issue on their own. They knew they needed to do something about it.

They planned on getting even with their neighbors.

Planning their next move was easy. The father is a police officer so he knows the law too well.

The father started digging up their property line marker.

And there, he places a couple of plastic barrels. All of them were filled with rocks.

The plan was a success.

Miha shared:

“In the next 6 hours, 3 of our neighbors came knocking on the door because they hit our plastic barrels filled with rocks. They were angry and wanted to call the cops. But they never did. Because everybody knew that little part of the land was still our property. One neighbor, in particular, threatened my dad that he will throw a fucking pickax at my father’s back.”

Unfortunately, the neighbors didn’t stop acting entitled.

They acted like the barrels weren’t here. They hit them so much that they became worthless.

The dad didn’t back down.

Instead, he came up with another plan. This time, he prepared cement, metal poles, and sand. Together with his kid, they cemented that part of the land. They even placed flowers on top.

And as they expected, their second plan got better results.

Miha shared:

“As we expected 5 neighbors in total wrecked their cars on the new fence, nobody came knocking on the door and we were finally getting revenge.”

It started as a family problem.

The family wasn’t really a stranger to their neighbors. In fact, they were distant relatives.

“The disputes were usually about that gravel road. It is long about 150 meters and most of us live at the end of it. At first, everybody helped to maintain the road but that took a quick turn. 20 years later only my parents were fixing the potholes while others laughed,” Miha said.
