In a neighborhood where backyard landscaping became a battleground, one husband got sweet revenge in the form of malicious compliance.
Armed with more knowledge of city codes than a seasoned inspector, he cautiously tried to advise his neighbors on their ambitious plans. Little did he expect the response: “Mind your own business!”
So that’s exactly what our handy protagonist did. He watched in silent amusement as his neighbors bulldozed through tree regulations and erected a towering fortress of cinderblocks and defiance. Cue the city officials, wielding fines like a comedic punchline, halting construction faster than you can say “HOA violation.”
Hey, he tried to warn them.
Lucky for us, his wife took to Reddit to share the full story.
