Her Dream House
Emily Swanson and her husband saved up money for decades in order to buy a home at their dream location, Hawaii. They committed to this plan, put money away for years, and finally reached a point where they could buy a five bedroom house with ocean view.
Her Dream House
Going Well
Emily and her husband were thrilled. After so many years of saving up, they were finally able to buy their dream home that they thought about for so many years. Their hard work was worth the wait. However, they didn’t know that something irritating was waiting alongside their dream.
Going Well
The Old Play Set
They never thought about the possibility that their neighbors would cause such a nuisance, but they had no idea what was waiting. It all started when the husband and wife wanted to remove an old play set. That’s when they met Tanya and realized they were in for a lot of trouble.
The Old Play Set
Removing It
When Tanya found out that they wanted to remove the play set, she immediately ran to their door in order to confront them about it. She told them that they had no right to remove the play set and that it was her children’s property.
Removing It
Reminding Her
Emily chose to remain calm throughout Tanya’s outburst, and she reminded Tanya that she and her husband had spoken to the previous landlord about the play set and he had given them permission to remove it. Tanya’s reaction was an absolute shock to them.
Reminding Her
Consideration
While children could play on Emily and her husband’s bit of the land, they were still the ones who had the right to decide what can be done with it. After the incident, Emily chose to remain civil, but Tanya made things much more difficult.
Consideration
Private Shindig
One night, Emily and her husband woke to very loud noises accompanied by ranging music. While they had agreed that the kids could play on their land, they didn’t give Tanya permission to throw a huge party there, which is exactly what she was doing.
Private Shindig
A Massive Party
The noise was loud enough to put anyone in a terrible mood, but what made matters worse was the fact that Tanya told them that they were not allowed to join because the party was for friends and family only. She had some nerve to have a party in their yard without even inviting them!
A Massive Party
Confusion
Emily’s living room was the only space that provided some respite from the noise. She and her husband decided to stay in there until the party was over. Suddenly, a partygoer came into their house.
Confusion
The Wrong Move
After the stranger came into their home, Emily immediately told him that he was not in the correct house. He responded by saying that Tanya told him she owns the entire property and that he could use any restroom he wants.
The Wrong Move
Unbelievable
At this point, Emily lost it. She told the stranger to get out, and then Tanya rushed into their house. She screamed at them: ‘How dare you make me look bad in front of my guests.’ Emily was absolutely stunned by the whole ordeal.
Unbelievable
Making Her Look Bad
Tanya was furious and yelled at them some more, saying that they made her look bad and that they were rude not to let her guest use the restroom. She told them that they did not deserve to have this big house at all.
Making Her Look Bad
Jazz It Up
Emily and her husband was in total shock by just how shameless Tanya was. They wanted her to pay for her behavior, but they knew that this was not the right time to do this. They decided to update the patio by adding an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit.
Jazz It Up
Over the Noise
While these add-ons weren’t without challenges, Emily and her husband still enjoyed the construction process and looked forward to these new additions. That was until they started to hear Tanya’s voice over the noise of the construction.
Over The Noise
Their Plans
Tanya came over and demanded to know what the couple were doing, to which they responded that they were adding some upgrades to their property. Tanya’s eye lit up once she heard the news. It was clear that she had formulated a plan of her own.
Their Plans
Partying
The couple didn’t know that Tanya had been organizing a party. Emily was too busy with the construction to realize what Tanya was up to. That was until she noticed what was happening on the other side of the street.
Partying
The Fence
Emily and her husband didn’t include all of the details of their plans when they responded to Tanya’s question. They didn’t mention that they would be putting up a fence. While Emily was enjoying a relaxing morning, she suddenly heard Tanya’s tantrum.
The Fence
New Boundaries
Tanya was absolutely furious when she saw the fence that she believe was built on their “shared” area. It was clear that Emily and her husband were going to hear an earful from the angry neighbor. They didn’t realize that someone else would enter the picture.
New Boundaries
Her Boyfriend
Tanya had a boyfriend at the time named Billy. He began to throw cigarette butts and beer cans over the fence into Emily and her husband’s yard. He felt that it was the right way to respond to what he thought was disrespecting his girlfriend.
Her Boyfriend
The Trash
As time went on, Emily and her husband realized the extend of the mess they were in with their neighbors. Tanya continued to throw parties, have loud arguments with her boyfriend, and the two were still tossing trash over the fence.
The Trash
Trouble In Paradise
Worse of all, Billy decided to get a 30-foot fishing boat despite the fact that Tanya only had 15 feet of docking space. Since Emily and her husband purchased a large home, it came with a lot of docking space.
Trouble In Paradise
Docking Space
To be more accurate, they had a lot more space. They also rented out rooms in order to supplement their income. They let renters keep their boats locked by the couple’s property in exchange for a monthly fee.
Docking Space
Something Wasn’t Right
Tanya and her boyfriend were irritated by this fact. When Emily found a particularly bad review for renting their docking spots online, she was taken aback. The review said that the couple were incredibly rude.
Something Wasn’t Right
Finding Out
To make matters worse, Emily and her husband were then informed that they were being charged with violating a verbal agreement for using the docking space for three months. Emily suddenly realized what was going on.
Finding Out
Telling the Cops
Emily knew that it was time to get the authorities involved. She was so angry by what she found out and knew that she needed to get the police involved. Emily discovered that Tanya was impersonating her and told the renter to remove the boat from the dock. Billy then moved his boat into the spot.
Telling The Cops
Taking Action
Emily and her husband were absolutely stunned by their neighbors’ behavior. That’s why they knew that getting the police involved was their only option, as things were spiraling out of control.
Taking Action
Fighting Back
The police informed Tanya and Billy that they needed to move the boat if they did not want it to be towed away. Instead of cooperating, the neighbors shouted that it was their property.
Fighting Back
Nobody Owns It
In addition to yelling at the cops, Tanya and Billy also said that Emily was a liar. When they saw that this approach wasn’t working, they tried another one. They decided to claim that nobody owns the water.
Nobody Owns It
Feeling Helpless
Emily and her husband felt that the most frustrating part of this whole drama was that they knew that they would be enjoying their dream home in Hawaii if it weren’t for Tanya and Billy. It didn’t seem likely that they could enjoy it while those two were around.
Feeling Helpless
All Ruined
They felt like everything was ruined and that things were only getting worse. Tanya’s weekly parties were continually getting more boisterous and her children started throwing pyrotechnics at Emily’s boats. It seemed like there was no solution possible.
All Ruined
Continuing
This issue dragged on for months, which turned into years. Even the police became familiar with the address because they were around so much due to the awful neighbors. Emily had lost faith that they could ever enjoy their Hawaii home.
Continuing
Didn’t Know Where to Turn
Tanya and Billy had ruined Emily and her husband’s dream of a peaceful dream house. They felt totally hopeless. They worked for years to get their dream, and it had turned into a total nightmare.
Didn’t Know Where To Turn
Karma Arrived
The police were on Emily’s side, but it didn’t help. Their days were full of stress that was totally unavoidable at this point. That was until one day, karma had finally arrived.
Karma Arrived
Finding Hope
Emily was almost ready to give up altogether when the landlord contacted her with an interesting proposition. Was this the last chance that they had been holding out for?
Finding Hope
The Landlord
The landlord that owns Tanya’s house told Emily that he was sick of the property market and that he no longer wanted to be a landlord. Tanya was especially an issue for him and he had had enough of dealing with her.
The Landlord
An Easy Solution
Emily couldn’t believe her ears. The landlord was offering her a once in a lifetime chance to get rid of all of her problems with a simple touch of a finger. She couldn’t fathom how simple the solution seemed.
An Easy Solution
Selling It
The landlord was desperate to find a buyer, and so he asked Emily and her husband if they were interested. Emily knew that it would be an amazing idea to buy the house. What happened next?
Selling It
Purchasing It
Emily was thrilled with the idea. Not only would it get rid of all of her problems, but it also meant that her parents could also come and live with them. She was ready to begin the paperwork at once.
Purchasing It
Getting Ready
Tanya and Billy had no idea what was coming to them. Emily and her husband double and triple checked that they had done everything according to the law. They also were in charge of notification documents.
Getting Ready
Enjoying Paradise
Emily thoroughly relished the moment when she delivered the papers to Tanya that informed her that she had to move out. Not only would she finally have her dream house in Hawaii, but now her parents could come live next door. She and her husband would finally have their small slice of paradise.
Enjoying Paradise
Not The Only Case
Of course, there are so many stories involving irritating neighbors. One day, a man walked outside his home to find something incredibly angering. He had tried dealing with it politely before, but he had had enough and knew he had to step it up.
Not The Only Case
He Couldn’t Believe It
The man looked all around and when he saw all of the cars, his blood boiled. He had reached a point when he knew that he had to do something drastic. He decided it was time to teach his neighbors a lesson.
He Couldn’t Believe It
A Quiet Life
Davao Bedekovic was enjoying a quiet life in Jakusevec, a small village in Croatia. Usually, living in a rural area means you can enjoy plenty of peace and quiet, which is was Davao was particularly angry with the situation.
A Quiet Life
Causing A Headache
Davao was perfectly happy in his small town outside of Zagreb until his neighbors’ inconsiderate behavior ruined everything. He knew that something had to be done and that he had let things get out of hand for too long.
Causing A Headache
Recently Opened Market
Davao is a farmer who owns land near the center of the village, which is home to about 2000 people total. Despite its small population, the town is continually developing. A new market opened one day close to Davao’s ranch.
Recently Opened Market
A Short Walk Away
Davao was happy with the news, since the market was opened just a 5 minute walk away from his house. However, he didn’t realize that the market would end up being a huge inconvenience to him in the end.
A Short Walk Away
Parking Problems
The new market was opened in the center of the village, and so there weren’t many parking spots to accommodate all of the shoppers who came to shop at the market. People needed to be creative and park nearby and walk over to the market. However, this was not a very sustainable solution.
Parking Problems
No Spots
As the market’s clientele grew, the parking issue continued to grow as well. That’s when things began take a turn, and people turned to more ruthless solutions to come up with creative parking spaces.
No Spots
Parking On His Property
Davao noticed that people began parking in his field in order to head to the new market. In the beginning, he didn’t mind, but then word began to spread and then many more flocked to his field to park. Then it spilled over to weekends. It then reached a point where he couldn’t work in the field anymore.
Parking On His Property
They Were Acting Selfishly
When people came to park in his field, Davao asked them to park somewhere else. However, when he wasn’t around, people proceeded to park there anyway. Of course, Davao couldn’t stand there all day to fend people off. He needed to find a different solution.
They Were Acting Selfishly
No Other Option
Davao was so furious that people were parking there regardless of his requests that he even thought about slashing their tires. Eventually he decided against this, but he knew he needed to do something about the issue. At first, he thought about placing a barricade around the field, but it was too expensive.
No Other Option
The Last Resort
After seeing another line of cards in his field one day, Davao finally broke. He knew that he wanted to cause some chaos to teach everyone a lesson. He walked to the other end of his property, got into his tractor, and turned on the engine.
The Last Resort
A Big Commotion
Davao began to drive his tractor right up to each and every car, stirring up a lot of dust and dirt in the process. He had finally reached his breaking point, and people began to notice. They saw the angry farmer get his revenge.
A Big Commotion
No Way Out
He continued and plowed deep trenches into the field, leaving the cars covered in mud and stuck in between the trenches’ uneven surfaces. That meant that they had no way out. The people who didn’t park in the field laughed at what he was doing. However, one woman began to get very upset.
No Way Out
A Big Mess
After the people who had parked in the market finished shopping and returned to their cars, they were faced with the scene that was rapidly unfolding. People who had parked close to the street, but everyone else was trapped in the mud. One of the drivers got very angry.
A Big Mess
Not Happy
The owner of a silver Peugeot was angry that her car was stuck in the middle of the mess. She angrily marched over and tried to get her car out, only to find that her wheels were spinning, leaving her with no way to get out. However, she still didn’t give up.
Not Happy
She Went For It
She tried to free her car but to no avail. She walked over to Davao and took out her phone to call the police. Once the cops showed up, they realized that they had stumbled into a big group of angry people that were all demanding consequences.
She Went For It
Hearing The Story
The car owners demanded that Davao be taken into custody. The police asked to hear the whole store from Davao. They listened to his story and realized that they had to agree with him since he was the owner of the land. They made sure that he did not actually damage any of the cars and let the drivers know that there’s nothing that could be done for them because they had technically been trespassing.
Hearing The Story
He Made His Point
Though he could have pressed chargers against the parkers for trespassing, he felt that he had taught them a lesson and was confident that they would not park there again. A video of the ordeal went viral, and people were quick to respond to it. One commenter said: “Farmer wasn’t grumpy, he was smart. No one has the right to park on private property. Good for him!”
He Made His Point
The Farmer Won Out
Another person commented: “Perfect. That didn’t cost him much, HE didn’t involve the authorities AND got the point across, I’m Certain! Even today in my community people are willing to talk things out, as they always have. Unfortunately, not everyone is raised that way…” Davao was finally free to go back to his peace and quiet.
The Farmer Won Out
