Episode with two stories. First part, I.
Hope you enjoy this story. The inhabitant grew very agitated when we erected a blockade on our property as it stops her from trespassing into our yard. She has reached out to authorities, filed false grievances, and is causing distress us. We used to get along great with our next door neighbor. For context, she is an older Polish woman who lives alone and is very ocd about her grass. She will pick up leaves as they fall down from the tree and pick up leaves off her grass even if it
rained anyway. She has a front fence that she didn't run all down her property line. She stopped it at the front so her whole right side of her home is exposed. Next two hours, then picked up the fence when her back yard begins. We had more than a few times where strangers would enter the side of our house and actually try and enter our home, so my
husband decided to put up a front fence. At the time, my neighbor was reach doing her backyard fence, and she knew my husband also wanted to do his backyard fence, so she recommend her guy. As she followed up to see if my husband called the guy to get the work. My husband told her that he did, and that he also asked the guy for a quote for the front as well. She immediately lost it. Since then, she has
been acting so crazy. It started with her calling the alderman and she wrongfully accused us of taking her land. The alderman came and spoke with us and sided with me and my husband. The problem is that she wants to use our front walkway that's on the side of our house to access her right side of her property, the side that she didn't fence, so she fenced herself out and has always just went on our property to
access her side. She's mad cause with our fence, she can't just walk in and go to her side of her house anymore. We told her we would give her a key, and she said no. Since she accused us of stealing her land, we didn't feel comfortable about allowing her to come and go off our property any more, but she didn't care. She called a handyman to install a security camera and he worked on our side of
the property and she didn't ask. I ask the guide to please inform her for any future work she will need to ask us for permission before she enters our property. The security camera was to watch us because she was so paranoid we would build a fence. This Saturday, we had the company begin work and she totally lost it. She harassed the workers, telling them to stop work, and she was accusing us of stealing land. She threatened to report them to the city and to call the inspector
on us. My husband had to stay outside with guys as they worked, and when he went in, she would come back out and harass them. Then she called the police for police cars came. I don't know what she told them, but it was not the truth because the cops sided with us and told her to stay inside and not bother us. Then Sunday she paces looking at our fence posts, staring. She looked at our fence posts like ten times on Sunday, and then she was pacing our back yard and we have her on camera just
staring and pacing and starting in so creepy. Then Monday, she is walking and starting again, and she stops on our neighbors and starts complaining to him about our fence right in front of our house. She continues pacing and staring through the day. Then later that Monday, a guy comes and she walks him to our house and he starts looking at our posts. My husband came out this time and asked the guy who this was and why
he was interested in looking at our property. He told us that he is a realtor and a good friend of hers, and he came because she called him, telling him that we stole her property from her and accused us of putting posts on her property, which was all lies. We immediately showed him our proof and he agreed with us and tried to mediate with her, explaining that we are legally able to build and that she can extend
her fence so she is not blocked out. She just said no, no, and didn't want to do that, so my husband just left. We made sure everything was recorded. Then to day she came outside and stared at our property again, just pacing. She did the same in the back yard, Then she went to the front and started flagging down neighbors who she never talks to, and starts to complain about our fence, calling us bad people and that we are stealing her land. She is acting so malicious,
What do I do? It's crazy? Edit so I called the police to see what she accused us of. On Saturday, they said that she alleged we were encroaching on her property and blocking her egress. The claim was noted as false by the police. Update March twentieth, twenty twenty five. It snowed and the neighbor came out with her hair curlers and her hair and her pajamas and slippers, no jacket. So she was in some hurry and went to the front of our house to stare while she was on
the phone. Not sure what information she needed from staring at our posts. Maybe she needed our address. Looks like she's trying to call someone else on us. She is straight losing it as she knows. The fence will be completed as soon as weather is better. Additional info Boop clarifies the drawing of the fence. Boop, Sorry, yes, the drawing isn't the greatest, but to help explain, she has a six feet iron fence in the front of her property. It goes all the way down the left side of
her house, but on the right side. She stopped the fence at the beginning of her house and curved it in so it leaves the right side of her house not fenced all the way until the end of her house. She then continues the fence and curves it in when her garage begins. She is upset because with our front fence she can't go on our property to get to her side. Every day she is out staring and calling people to her house to look at it and complain.
Update one April tenth, twenty twenty five. Our fence has been up for a week and a half. The neighbor surprisingly did not bother the workers when they put the panels up. I was so surprised, So that's why I didn't really do an update, because I was like, Okay, this is over. Finally she must have come to her senses. Yeah, I was wrong. On Tuesday, I was coming home from picking up my child from school and some man ran out his car and shouted if I was the owner
of the home. I asked who he was, and he stated he was from the city building in code enforcement, while also briefly flashing his ID at me. I then proceeded to tell him that I am the owner and why was he here. He stated that he received a complaint about a building violation and that our fence is too tall and we must cut it down from six feet to five feet. Keep in mind my neighbor's fence is taller than ours.
B t W.
I told the inspector that three licensed contractors that we contacted all informed us we didn't need a permit, but that if they were wrong, we would gladly comply, of course, and or apply for the needed permit. He stated that there is no possible way the city would approve it, and I told him we will work with the city and find a solution. We don't want to cut corners
and want to do it right. My husband then comes out and gets informed on what's going on, and then my husband asks the inspector for his email or business card so we can follow up and work together to fix it. The guy refused to give us any card or e mail to follow up with him. He told my husband all the information is on the city website. Why do you need my information for? He was very rude.
I know how to talk with people, so I told him, look, I get you come across a lot of people who argue back and give you a hard time, so you're on guard. But I assure you we don't want to argue, and we want to fix this issue. He then calmed down and told us he has kids too, and he understand why we need a fence, et cetera. He then told us he would give us forty eight hours to
get a permit, and then he left. Once I got home, I reviewed the camera footage, and the inspector entered our property and did not ring the door bell to try and speak with us. He just trespassed and was walking around looking at our property. He didn't measure anything, nothing, So I began to get suspicious. I then remembered when my neighbor threatened us and the workers, saying she had an inspector friend and she was going to report us. On top of that, why didn't the inspector want to
give me any information to follow up? So weird? Then he tells me to get a permit in forty eight hours. He didn't even tell me which one. And if he said the city would not approve it, why didn't he tell me to apply in forty eight hours? Things just seemed off I'd so then I went to do my research. I contacted my alderman's office and asked for assistance in applying for a permit. I wanted to make sure we did the right steps after we apply for our permit.
I asked the representative if they could look up the complaint for me because the interaction with the inspector seemed suspicious. She agreed and looks up the report. There was a report made seventeen days ago by our neighbor before our fence panels were up, that our fence was not on our property line. The report said nothing about fence height. She also told me there was no inspector assigned to the case and that it was still open pending investigation.
So that's weird. I'd maybe he was legit and didn't update the case, but it's all not adding up. So the alderman agrees this is weird and states that they are going to get someone from downtown involved to speak with my neighbor because she is harassing us and it's just too much. The report she made was false, Our fence posts are on our property lines. We have our plat survey that proves all of this, in addition to all the other things listed in my other Reddit posts
that she has done. So today, I'm just minding my own business like I usually do, and I get a notification on my camera. I see someone sticking their hand through my fence, pointing at my back, and moving down my fence repeatedly doing the same thing. So I go outside and calmly ask the women, do you have any questions about my fence that I can help you with. I see that you're sticking your hand through and pointing.
She tells me, I'm your neighbor down the block. I was just speaking with your next door neighbor and she has a problem with your fence. I let her know that the neighbor's claims are bogus, and that we now have a permit for the height of our fence, and I have a survey of our property proving we are on our property line. I told her that the neighbor is crazy and if she has any concerns to please speak with me. As I turn, I see my neighbor
in her bushes by her door. She was outside the whole time and stopped the neighbor as she was walking her dog to complain about our fence and spread false claims again. Then the neighbor leaves and immediately stands and stares at our house, looking at the permit displayed on our front door. This is getting crazy and I really didn't want to do tit for tat, but I reported her illegal basement apartment, which is not a false allegation because her zoning does not allow for a basement apartment.
She also does not have two entrances. I really didn't want to do it, but she is really pushing me to become a person I don't want to be. I want this all to be over already praying she can finally understand reality soon. I will update if anything else happens. Additional information from O O P, who has received the translation of the audio file. Oh O P, I got the translation here. It is if you're interested. Women is my crazy neighbor. Man is her realtor friend She called
over to look at my house and complain. It looks like he was trying to actually help us, and she was getting mad at him. He was mostly trying to mediate with her, allowing us to close the back fence
that has always been closed for over twenty years. But now that she is mad, she is not allowing us to close it because she owns a couple inches of property next to her garage that is unfenced and open to our property, So in order to close it off from the alley, we need to close it on her few inches of property, or else someone can slip through easily. She is just using that as leverage. Doesn't matter to us.
We can just fence it straight down our property if we have to, and she will have awkward fenced in boxes on the side of her house and she can't get in. Makes no sense. She is just using that as leverage, cause it's all she has. That's the back story on the back L O L and below in the transcript, Woman, it's mine. Man, Yeah, but you use this M. The rats were running in front of the garage. W. He should catch those rats. Em ok today W curses, I'm sorry the rats were running. M. Does it bother
you why? W? Yes, it bothers me. And he will destroy it because he is so mean and it will M. But he asked you and you agreed. W. No, nobody talked to me about it. They just put up the fence English part. W cries Jesus on no, no, M. And now what's bothering you that it'll be open or that it'll be closed? W? What that? M? So if he closes it and puts something. It'll be safer for you and for M. W. But but it's mine. M. Why does that bother you? W It bothers me because
I'll have the entrance there M where W from that side? M. But from that side you block the entrance yourself. W. I'm going home because it's too cold. Are we going? M? Wait a second, W No, No, I don't want to talk to him. I'll talk to some one else. I'm going to go to the city hall. M. What do you want them to do? Two? Put here? W. I'll just sort this out. I'm not giving up. M. To be honest, I'll tell you I live in a building far from the down town and I've done something to
my neighbors too. They have something near their house. W. But why are you talking to them? You came to see me. M. You know what. I think you could stand your ground. But it doesn't make sense because he W. Yeah, I'll stand my ground and he will do the same. You know what, Nobody asks me for my permission and do what they want. M. He said that he asked for permission. W. You know what I'm saying, M. But why do you need the entrance to the garage from
this side. W. They did everything. Nobody asked me. It's mine M. But you should look and see what you did to the neighbors. Something with the entrance. W. This had been like this since the beginning, do you remember, M. But to day some one could come to you and tell you to take down something. W. Then I'll take it down. M. That would satisfy you. W. You know what. I'm going home. M. If I were you, I would
let him to do that thing. W. And I won't M. But it'll be safer, and he will put a fence here W and know M, so you will have W. No nobody asked me, and I won't allow it. So I'm going home. I'm cold. M. I'll go with you soon. W. You shouldn't be the one sorting this out. English Part update two, April twenty nine, ninth twenty twenty five. I know it's been a few weeks since my last update.
A few of my neighbors actually found my post. So to protect the privacy and security of myself and my neighbor, I removed my old posts because there was pictures and videos that I didn't want getting shared to neighborhood platforms. I mainly made my post to vent and get feedback and didn't intend on it getting so popular. It made it around the world and back to my block. Lol, But I do appreciate the support and advice from everyone on to the update. So a lot has happened in
the past two weeks. To start, the workers came back to paint our fence and weld some mesh on the fence. Our neighbor freaked out and thought the workers welded our fence to her post. She called our mediator representative from the Alderman's office. She came out to check and immediately saw that we did not connect her fence post to ours. Then our neighbor got mad and started demanding for us to personally show her our fence plans and permits. We
had our permit on our door. She got more mad and used a racial slur towards me and my family. And keep in mind she said the racial slur about us to the representative of the Alderman's office. So it has been documented. That same day an officer from the city department from Building and Code Enforcement showed up to our house. Again. It was a different guy this time. He told us that there was a report made alleging we were building a whole new garage without a permit.
We haven't changed our garage at all. It's the same as when we bought our home, and it's clear to anyone it was not just built. The building inspector immediately closed the case. At this point, our neighbor is being malicious and is making false reports to harass us. What really worries me is that if we ever want to sell our home, these reports stay on record, even though they are false and dismissed. After this, we did a FOYA Freedom of Information Act for any three hundred eleven
reports for our address. She made three reports to the City do B Department of Buildings, all made in March and all made before our fence panels were even put up. She alleged we built a new garage, that our fence posts was not on our property line, and that we had installed a side fence without building permit, all false allegations. Keep in mind we adjust the posts up March eighteenth, and our panels didn't get put until April fifth. We also didn't build the side fence she is talking about yet,
so she did a complaint in advance. Assuming we have no permit. Can't even make this stuff up. It's insane. Then she made a false allegation to a police officer and told them my husband was yelling and screaming at her and throwing his hands up, intimidating her during a time she was talking to her neighbors. Then the said neighbor walks to her car at the same moment her and the cop are talking in. My neighbor points telling the cop to go ask the women our neighbor from
across the street. The cop goes over and talks to her, and the woman tells the cop my husband didn't do what was alleged. Then the cop goes back over and tells my neighbor that the witness to the alleged incident says nothing like that happened. I also had the video and audio recording of that conversation. My husband went outside because she involved three neighbors at this point, calling them over talking about our fence and us. He went outside
to talk to the other people and not her. Even his body language in the video was not aggressive and he was not talking to her directly at all. After he told the neighbors what is happening our side, he left and let them continue talking. Yet she wants to actually lie and try and put him in jail. So glad I have every interaction recorded. Same day, she gets very erratic and upset that things didn't go her way. That she comes outside while I'm outside and starts singing
humming like an opera singer. She has never did this before, and it was just weird. I ignore her as I always do and just let her be. Then she decides to go inside and get her purse to pretend like she is going somewhere, and goes across the street, intentionally avoiding crossing in front of the neighbor who told the truth to the copse. They were outside on their porch. I assume she is now upset with them because they
told the truth. When she goes and talks to their next door neighbor, who was just watering her grass, she proceeds to talk about our fence and us to them. I saw it all plain as day because I was outside. I let it go because I want to avoid her as I always do, but it was so annoying. Then she leaves and literally five minutes later she comes back
in her house. She just went around the block and pretended to leave to just talk to another neighbor about us and just slander us and paint us as bad people. I honestly cannot understand this behavior. Then same day she calls some one over to come look at our back yard. I literally can't catch a break with her. We aren't doing anything wrong. Our fence is permitted by the city.
She is just mad that she can't walk down our property as she did for twenty eight years to reach the side of her house that she fenced herself out from, and she can fix, but she refuses and instead blames us.
That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the second one. I hope you enjoy this story. My privileged parent insisted that I transfer ownership of my residence to her because my younger sibling is expecting a baby and supposedly requires it more than I do. I, a thirty one year old man, have a twenty eight year old sister who has honestly been the golden child to my mother but not my father, for as long as I
can remember. My parents divorced when I was a teenager because my mother cheated with an old high school ex boyfriend and has always been controlling, manipulative, and narcissistic, and sadly, my sister was like her little minnie me. Our mother also seemed to believe she had total authority over me. Any time she so much as snapped her fingers, she'd
snap them and order me around like a dog. It was demeaning, and my sister always backed her up too, so no surprise, I went to live with my dad full time after our parents split, while my sister stayed with Mom. The two of them were very alike and both pretty much stopped speaking with my father unless it was about money. Though I'm more like my dad. My father was very business oriented and started teaching me how to do his line of work as soon as I
was sixteen. I got pretty good at it, and after twelve years of working for my father, I was made a partner in his company. Things were great, but then, about eight months ago, tragedy struck. My father had become somewhat immuno compromised due to being a heavy smoker for much of his life, and died at only sixty years old. After he caught seat. Nineteen, I met my mother and sister for the first time in years. After we had a socially distanced funeral for my father over video call.
My father was cremated by his own request and buried in a local cemetery, so there was no body or casket. My sister seemed to grieve, but my mother looked indifferent the entire time, though I honestly was not surprised. The last time she saw my father, she screamed at him that he owed her more money, and then threatened to sue him, to which she just laughed at her. He'd paid alimony and child support as long as he was legally mandated two and no more than that, and he
even put thirty K toward my sister's college fund. But ten years after the divorce, he was no longer legally required to send MO money any more because of the judge's ruling, and she's by no means broke. She works the same job she has had for nearly three decades, fully owns the old family home we used to share, and even rents out two of the rooms in it to Airbnb regularly. She's by no means hurting for money. Some time after the funeral, my dad's will was read.
Apparently he'd figured that if his heavy smoking didn't eventually do him in something else would, and even joked about it in a pre recorded video. I was pretty much willed nearly all of his assets, from most of his money to his business and home. He left my sister a car two thousand fifteen Nissan Ultima and about ten k in cash. My mother only got one grand and a few other items that she'd been claiming were rightfully
hers since the divorce. Beyond that, I got the rest, and my girlfriend now lives with me in the house my father passed down to me. My sister pretty much went from finishing two years of community college to living off her boyfriend and only working part time online for several years, and during that time she got pregnant but suffered a traumatic miscarriage. I wasn't aware till after the funeral because we were practically no contact and no one
else told me when lockdown hit. Her boyfriend's job started downsizing little by little, and eventually he was only able to stay on part time, which hampered hers and his finances to the point he was finally telling her she needed to look for better employment as well, since he was trying to find a second job. And then she got pregnant. She claims her and her BF were careful
but calls at her miracle baby. One evening, I got an unexpected knock at my door, and when I answered, I was unpleasantly greeted by both my mother and sister. They both walked right in without even asking, and made themselves comfortable in my living room. My girlfriend and I shared a look of confusion, and I asked why they'd come by. My sister was giggling and looking all over, opening doors and seemingly giving herself a tour of my home.
My mother had just plopped herself down on my sofa and snapped her fingers while demanding a cold bottled water. My g F got the water for her, and I asked what they were here for. My sister seemed all giddy and just ignored me to continue snooping around my home, and before long I heard her yell from down the hall, Mammy, it's perfect. Yes, she still calls her mommy. My mother finally spoke up and said, well, I think it's time to did your brotherly duty, to which I was like what.
My mother then proceeded to say, now that your father has passed, this house should have gone to me since I was his only spouse. But you can still fix this. You make plenty of money and could just buy a new house. Your sister needs this one so much more since she's the one with a baby on the way. But if you're so determined on staying, you could just keep to one room and cover all of the bills
until you decide to move out. My GF and I read enough Reddit to know exactly where this is going and how it had play out if I let it go on, So I guess you could say we were mentally prepared. I took a deep breath and stated aloud, that's not fucking happening. You don't order me around, especially not in my own goddamn home. Yes, I make plenty of money, but like dad, I'm gonna save it for when I really need it, not that you care. My mother started snapping her fingers at me like she used to.
In loudly stated stop. I am your mother, and you will do as I say because I brought you into this world and I'm the one in charge here and as far as you're concerned, I am God. That means when I say jump, you say how high this house is? Rightfully, mine and your sister will live here. Consider this your formal eviction. But since I'm gracious, I'll give you two weeks to pack your bags and transfer the deed to me. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking this can't
be real. But then I just grabbed my cell phone and started dialing. My mother quickly stood up and yelled what are you doing? And I retorted, I'm doing what I should have done as soon as this shit started. I'm calling the cops to get you out of my fucking house. She started swiping at me and managed to knock my phone out of my hands. Then she proceeded to try and stomp on it, but I was quick enough to snatch it up before she could. That's fucking it.
If you don't leave, I will force you out myself. My mother proceeded to slap me across the face, and I returned the favor twice as hard back handed, so much so I ended up knocking her back down onto the couch. She held her hand over her reddening and smeared make up face in total shock, and then yelled, how dare you. I went back to dialing on my phone and said that if she didn't leave, I would
have police come and remove her by force. My sister came barreling in between us, holding her arms out and saying that I should just do the right thing for once in my life and be a good big brother. I snapped and said, oh, really, I'm the bad sibling. Last I checked, I was the one who's had to work for a living since I was a teenager. I had to do all the chores in the house while you just sat on your ass playing video games or
talking with your friends all day. And you used to steal my heart earn money just to go out shopping after you spent all of your allowance. You're a complete mooch and thief. So I don't ow you shit. Now, both of you get out before I decide to dial this last number. My sister started to tear up, crying like a baby and said, Mommy, make him stop. My mother began hugging her and kissing her cheeks while giving
me a death glare. Then she seemed to think she'd gotten smart and said, you know, if you do call the police, I can just tell them that you hit me, and who knows, I could maybe say to every one you wanted to do a lot worse to a poor pregnant girl in need. I don't think that it'd be very good thing for you. I cut her off with
a raised hand and said, just stop. If you haven't noticed, my girlfriend over there has had her phone out recording almost this whole time, and that means we have recorded evidence of you assaulting me first and openly stating you'd lie to police. I don't think that it'd be so good for your reputation at your job or your little airbnb. If looks could kill, my mother would have blew me up like a tactical nuke. But she quickly deflated and
started dragging my crying sister out by the arm. My sister was somehow acting like a complete toddler and broke loose of our mother's grip to sit down on my porch step and have a tantrum. I just gave my mother a look and said, do you see now, this is the result of the spoiled way you raised her. She glared at me again, and then I was treated to a show of my mother trying to drag my sister off of my porch steps, but she latched onto the porch handrails and kept saying you promised me over
and over again. I let out a cackle and told them both from the door to never come back. My mother flipped me the bird and then went back to trying to drag my sister off the porch. It took a few minutes, but she finally got my sister to get up and leave with her by saying I am a cruel, heartless bastard who will go to hell for this. I laughed some more and said that there's also a special place in hell for liars and narcissists who try
to manipulate others to get their way. My mother clenched her fists and was about to say more when I just held up my smartphone again with it recording, and said, the clock is ticking, Mom, get off my property. My mother then walked my sister to the car, gave me one last snooty look, and drove off. I thought that was the end of it, but letting things go was never something my mother would do. After a few days, I started getting messages from people I know and some
relatives online. A lot of them were furious with me, but others just had questions about what was going on. I tried to check my f B but couldn't see anything they were saying because my sister and mother both locked me on their social media, but my girlfriend could still see everything because they kept their profiles set to open. We screenshoted everything and then printed some of it out.
Both of their profiles had posts that called me a greedy, heartless bastard who stole the house that was meant to be my sister's inheritance, ride out from under her by paying off the lawyer who handled Dad's will, which is a complete and utter lie and they both know it. I called my lawyer, who was also my father's lawyer and a trusted family friend, and gave him copies of all the screenshots from f B and the video my girlfriend had recorded the day my mother demanded my house.
He wanted to just write a formal C and D, but I wanted to take it further than that, and he sent them a letter I told him to write via express mail that had to be signed for so I know they got it. My mother called me in an absolute fury the same day the letter was delivered. I told her that if she and my sister didn't redact all of the untrue social media posts they made
about me and tell them the absolute truth. I'd send all of the information I have to the whole family, her boss, and upload the videos we recorded of her online, and then I'd sue her on top of it. She called me unreasonable and that she just did what she did for my sister's sake, and then went into a full blown lecture reiterating her belief that my sister still
needs my house more than me. I bluntly stated I didn't care what she thought, and if she didn't redact everything and tell the truth, I'd make sure her career would be over. She begrudgingly said, fine, you win, have it your way, and keep the fucking house, before hanging up the phone. That very evening, all of the lying
posts disappeared from both their profiles. I was unblocked, and my mother gave me in everyone else, a half asked apology, claiming she jumped the gun with everything she said because she thought my sister needed my house more than me because she's broken pregnant. But the house was rightfully mine according to my father's will, and she knew that even before my father passed away, so she had no right
to try and claim it. As for my sister, she also apologized, but more or less just parroted everything our mother said while claiming she just went along with her ideas, and then she blamed what she did all on our mother and her pregnancy hormones. The replies poured in for some time on both my mother and sister's profiles, many
furious with them for trying to take my house. I got a lot messages of Soris and my bads from those who previously believed her, But all it really did was show me who was more on her side to begin with, since they were all believing her nonsense so quickly. They were mostly people from her side of the family anyway. No one on my father's side believed her at all
and openly said so. My sister and her boyfriend ended up moving in with our mother to save money, but she put them in the basement to keep her airbnb running, and my sister started crying on social media that she can't live upstairs. And I'm pretty sure the two of them were fighting with each other because all my sister did after that his complain online, and my mother barely posted anything on her sm anymore because of the previous stunt she tried
