She used to have a real issue with dogs. They made her nervous and anxious. So living next to someone with five very loud and reactive dogs was far from ideal.

When the woman came out into her backyard, the five terrors would run up to the fence and start yapping and barking. It meant she couldn’t enjoy her backyard during the summer.

She couldn’t go on like this, so she booked some therapy sessions to work through her fear of dogs.

And they worked. She even has two little dogs of her own now.

Now she loves spending weekends hanging out in the yard with the rest of her family and her dogs. The only problem is the animals next door.

They clearly haven’t been trained or socialized properly. They go crazy every time they see the woman’s dogs.

So she compromised. She’d only bring her dogs out if their neighbor’s dogs were inside. Or if the neighbor brings their dogs out, she’ll take hers back inside until the others have calmed down.

This happened again one Sunday. It wasn’t a big issue for the woman, but her neighbor reacted very differently. She cursed the woman out. 

“The neighbors let their dogs out; they react, so I bring my dogs in—same old routine,” shared the woman. “Except now my neighbor curses me under her breath.”

The woman was annoyed and angry. She’s gone out of her way for the neighbor by keeping her dogs indoors. Plus, this wasn’t the first time they’d been rude or used foul language toward her.

“It really got under my skin,” the woman said.

So she decided it was time for some petty revenge.

“I’ve started to be a bit petty,” confessed the woman. “Now, when the neighbor lets their dogs out, I stay out and play fetch with my dogs while her animals are going crazy.”

Her dogs love all this extra playtime outdoors. Plus, by the third day, her neighbor was getting super annoyed. Then they snapped.

“They cussed me out again,” said the woman. “They shouted at me, and one told me to ‘meet them out front.’ I said, ‘No if you want something from me, climb over this fence yourself.’ They yelled a bit more. I didn’t respond, and they went inside after a minute. The neighbors have finally cracked, and it’s only week one.”

But this woman wasn’t doing anything wrong. She’s simply hanging out with her dogs in her backyard. Whatever happens after that is not her problem.

And she isn’t finished yet. She ordered some new patio furniture and planned to spend even more time in the yard.

She knows it’s a petty thing to do, but she also doesn’t care.

“Don’t appreciate my courtesy, then I won’t give it,” said the woman.

She posted the story on Reddit to see what other people thought about her petty revenge.

“Nothing petty about it,” said one person. “You have every right to use your property as you see fit.”

“This isn’t revenge or petty,” said another. “You are just enjoying your property and dogs in a reasonable manner, like any good neighbor. Don’t feel one bit of guilt.”

How would you have dealt with the neighbor’s problem dogs?
