Her Dream House
Emily Swanson and her husband had been saving money for decades to afford to buy a home in their dream destination, Hawaii. After committing to this plan, they could afford to purchase a home with five bedrooms and an ocean view.
Her Dream House
Going Well
The couple’s joy was evident. They had finally bought exactly what they had been wanting to for years. It showed that their hard work was worthwhile. Everything was going well, but there was something they didn’t see occurring.
Going Well
The Old Playset
The couple never thought their neighbors could threaten their peace, but they were wrong. It all started when the couple tried removing an old playset. From here, they met Tanya and were shocked by her presence.
The Old Playset
Removing It
Once Tanya found out that the new couple was planning to remove the playset, she ran to their front door to confront them. She informed them that she didn’t have any right to remove this, as it was Tanya’s children’s property.
Removing It
Reminding Her
Throughout this ordeal, Emily remained calm and told Tanya that she and her husband had asked the landlord about the playset and were given the signal to remove it. Tanya’s reaction to this was a shock to the couple.
Reminding Her
Consideration
Although children could play on Emily’s part of the land, it was still her and her husband’s land to decide what to do with it. After this incident with Tanya, Emily tried to remain considerate, but Tanya’s behavior didn’t make that easy.
Consideration
Private Shindig
One night, Emily and her husband were awoken by loud banging music. Although they had come to an agreement that the children could play, it seems Tanya had misunderstood this to believe she could throw a massive party on the lawn.
Private Shindig
A Massive Party
The loud noise was enough to put anyone in a bad mood. What made it worse was that Tanya had told them that they couldn’t come outside because the party was only for friends and family. Tanya certainly had some nerve.
A Massive Party
Confusion
Emily’s living room was the only part of the house where you can almost escape all the noise. That’s where Emily and her husband remained while they waited for the party to end. All of a sudden, a partygoer entered their home.
Confusion
The Wrong Move
The stranger walked into their home and Emily was quick to inform him that he was at the wrong house. That’s when the man told them that Tanya said she owns the entire property and that he could use any bathroom.
The Wrong Move
Unbelievable
At this point, Emily’s blood was boiling. After telling the stranger to leave, Tanya came rushing into the couple’s home. ‘How dare you make me look bad in front of my guests,’ she screamed. Emily was completely shocked by this statement.
Unbelievable
Making Her Look Bad
Tanya was infuriated that they had made her look bad and told Emily and her husband that they were rude for refusing to let her guest use the bathroom for a couple of minutes. She went on to say that they were undeserving of a big house.
Making Her Look Bad
Jazz It Up
The couple was left speechless by Tanya’s shamelessness. They wanted her to pay for what she had done, but they knew that now wasn’t the time. Instead, they went about adding an outdoor kitchen and fire pit to their patio.
Jazz It Up
Over the Noise
Although these additions to their property didn’t come without some challenges, the couple enjoyed the construction process. However, that was until they could overhear Tanya’s voice even above the noisy construction.
Over The Noise
Their Plans
Tanya asked what the couple were doing and Emily informed her that they were performing a few upgrades to their property. After hearing this, Tanya’s eyes lit up. It was clear that she had a plan of her own.
Their Plans
Partying
The couple had no idea that their neighbor had organized a party that they shared at the time. She was too busy with the construction to worry about what Tanya was up to. That was until she saw what was happening on the other side of the street.
Partying
The Fence
The couple forgot to mention one of the minor additions they were doing to their property when Tanya asked. Emily was enjoying a peaceful morning when she heard an adult tantrum. Tanya must have found out about the addition.
The Fence
New Boundaries
Tanya was fuming over Emily’s new barrier around their ‘shared’ area. It was evident that Emily and her husband were going to have a problem with their obnoxious neighbor. However, they didn’t anticipate a new person appearing.
New Boundaries
Her Boyfriend
At the time, Tanya had a boyfriend named Billy. Without any hesitation, he began throwing his cigarette butts and beer cans over the fence and into the couple’s yard. His reason behind doing this was because they were disrespecting his lady.
Her Boyfriend
The Trash
As time went on, it was evident that Emily and her husband had landed up with evil next-door neighbors. They continued having late-night parties and loud arguments. Meanwhile, trash was still being thrown over the fence.
The Trash
Trouble In Paradise
If this couldn’t get any worse, Billy also had a 30-foot fishing boat and Tanya only had 15 feet of docking space. Since Emily and her husband paid more for half of the duplex, they had more docking space.
Trouble In Paradise
Docking Space
To be precise, they had a lot more. This space allowed the couple to supplement their income by renting out more rooms. Renters could easily keep their boats locked to the couple’s property and pay a monthly rent.
Docking Space
Something Wasn’t Right
As you can imagine, Tanya and Billy were irritated by the couple doing this. That’s why it was quite peculiar when Emily found an awful review for renting their docking spots online. It stated that the couple was incredibly disrespectful.
Something Wasn’t Right
Finding Out
If that was bad enough, Emily and her husband were informed that they were being charged with violating a verbal agreement. This was to use the docking space for three months. After having a brief conversation, Emily finally understood what was happening.
Finding Out
Telling the Cops
Emily decided that it was time to get serious. She was furious by what she had found out and wanted police intervention. Tanya had impersonated Emily and told the customer to remove the boat from the dock. Billy then moved his boat into the same spot.
Telling The Cops
Taking Action
The couple was flabbergasted when they saw what their neighbor was doing. That’s when they decided that police intervention would be the best option. It was getting out of control and she couldn’t take it any longer.
Taking Action
Fighting Back
The officers warned Tanya and Billy that they should move their boat if they didn’t want it towed away. Instead of listening to the officers, they yelled and stated that it was on their property.
Fighting Back
Nobody Owns It
As well as shouting at the officers, the neighbors even stated that Emily was a liar. When they saw that this wasn’t working, they tried a different approach. In a frantic attempt to get what they wanted, they claimed that nobody owned the water.
Nobody Owns It
Feeling Helpless
The most frustrating part about this situation was that Emily and her husband knew that they would be enjoying their time in Hawaii if it wasn’t for their neighbors. It seemed doubtful that they could enjoy any peace with Tanya and Billy around.
Feeling Helpless
All Ruined
It seemed as though everything was getting worse. The weekly get-togethers were becoming more boisterous. Additionally, Tanya’s children had been encouraged to hurl pyrotechnics at Emily’s boats. There seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel.
All Ruined
Continuing
This issue didn’t just last months – it lasted years. Even the cops had memorized the address because of these awful neighbors. Emily began losing faith that she and her husband would be able to enjoy their home in Hawaii.
Continuing
Didn’t Know Where to Turn
Billy and Tanya were destroying the couple’s slice of joy. The couple was losing faith and felt hopeless. They had worked so hard to have their dream home and now it was turning into a nightmare.
Didn’t Know Where To Turn
Karma Arrived
The police supported Emily, but this didn’t matter. Their peace was being taken away. Instead, stress filled their daily lives and had become unavoidable. However, this was until karma decided to visit these neighbors.
Karma Arrived
Finding Hope
Emily was almost ready to throw the tile in when the landlord contacted her with a new chance. This was what the couple had been waiting for and their hope was slowly coming back. Could this be what they were hoping for?
Finding Hope
The Landlord
During this conversation, the landlord stated that they were sick of the property market and no longer wanted to be a landlord. Tanya was especially vexing for the landlord and they had had enough of her behavior.
The Landlord
An Easy Solution
Once Emily heard what the landlord was saying, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. This landlord had offered her a once-in-a-life opportunity to fix all of these problems with the simple touch of a finger. She couldn’t believe how easy it was.
An Easy Solution
Selling It
The landlord was frantic to find a buyer, which is when they decided to ask Emily and her husband. Emily decided that it would be a brilliant idea to buy the home. What was going to happen next?
Selling It
Purchasing It
Emily loved the idea of having this piece of property for various reasons. Despite the most obvious, this also meant that she could have her parents come and live with them. She wanted to start the paperwork immediately.
Purchasing It
Getting Ready
Tanya and Billy had no idea what they were about to be met with. The couple had double-checked everything to ensure that they were aligned with the law. They were also in charge of the notification documents.
Getting Ready
Enjoying Paradise
Not only did Emily thoroughly enjoy the look on Tanya’s face when she handed her the papers informing the neighbor that she had to move out, but having her parents in Hawaii also made her incredibly happy. Emily and her husband were finally able to enjoy their little slice of paradise.
Enjoying Paradise
Not The Only Case
Unfortunately, there are lots of inconsiderate neighbors out there in the world. One day, a man walked outside to find something incredibly frustrating in front of him. He had tried being polite before, so he knew that he had to step up his response this time.
Not The Only Case
He Couldn’t Believe It
The man looked up and down the street at the cars, trying to contain his anger. He knew that it had reached the point where he needed to do something drastic. He decided to teach his neighbor a lesson.
He Couldn’t Believe It
A Quiet Life
Davao Bedekovic was used to his quiet life in Jakusevec, the small Croatian village where he lives. Living in a rural area usually means that there’s plenty of peace and quiet, which is why his situation was so frustrating.
A Quiet Life
Causing A Headache
Davao was happy living in his small village near Zagreb until his neighbors started to ruin everything for him. He knew that he needed to do something about what was going on since he had let things go for too long already.
Causing A Headache
Recently Opened Market
Davao is a farmer who owns some land near the center of the village, which has a population of about 2000 people. However, the town is slowly growing and becoming more and more modern as time goes on. Close to Davao’s ranch, a new market opened.
Recently Opened Market
A Short Walk Away
Davao was thrilled when the market opened but it was only a short 5 minute walk away from his home. However, he didn’t realize that this new market would actually be much more of an inconvenience in his life than he could imagine.
A Short Walk Away
Parking Problems
As the brand new market was located right in the center of the village, there was not a large parking area that could accommodate many shoppers. People had to improvise and so they parked on nearby streets and walked to the market. However, this was not a sustainable solution.
Parking Problems
No Spots
The new market was truly an exciting addition to the small village, so it made sense that many residents flocked to it. That meant that people had to become much more creative when it came to the parking issues. People became more and more ruthless when it came to parking spots.
No Spots
Parking On His Property
Davao started to notice that people were parking on his field in order to get to the new market. At first, he didn’t mind. However, word began to spread and slowly more and more people began parking on his land, including on weekends. Eventually it reached a point where he could not work in the area anymore.
Parking On His Property
They Were Acting Selfishly
When people arrived to park on his land, Davao asked them to find somewhere else to park. However, when he was not in the area, people did not heed his request. However, it didn’t make sense for Davao to stand there all day to make sure people weren’t parking there. He tried to think of a solution.
They Were Acting Selfishly
No Other Option
Davao became so angry that he even considered slashing all the drivers’ tires. He decided against this, but he knew that he had to do something. He wanted to put up a barricade around his field, but it was too expensive. He needed to come up with a better solution.
No Other Option
The Last Resort
One day when Davao went out and saw another line of cars on his field, he took a deep breath. He knew that he was about to stir up some chaos and slowly walked to the opposite end of his property. He got into his tractor and turned on the engine.
The Last Resort
A Big Commotion
One by one, he began driving his tractor right into the cars parked on hie field, stirring up plenty of dirt and dust as he went. He had reached his breaking point, and people in the area began to notice. People began to watch the angry farmer get his revenge.
A Big Commotion
No Way Out
He plowed deep trenches into the field, leaving people’s cars covered in mud and stuck in between uneven surfaces. They were essentially stuck there now, with no easy way out. People who didn’t park there but witnessed the scene laughed at what Davao was doing. However, one woman was quite upset with the situation.
No Way Out
A Big Mess
Once the car owners left the market and went back to their cars, they were greeted by a nightmarish scene. People who had parked closer to the street were able to get out, but the rest were stranded in the mud. One driver got extremely angry.
A Big Mess
Not Happy
The woman of a silver Peugeot was pretty angry to see her car in the middle of the mess. She marched angrily over and tried to get her car out of the field. Her wheels began spinning and it was very clear that she wasn’t going to get out of there so easily. However, she did not give up easily.
Not Happy
She Went For It
The woman tried to free her car, but it didn’t work. She marched over to Davao and took out her phone. She called the police, and when they showed up, they realized they had walked in on a group of very angry people, demanding consequences.
She Went For It
Hearing The Story
Some car owners demanded that Davao be taken into custody, but the police first asked to hear him out. He told the cops what had happened. They didn’t have a choice but to agree with him, since it all took place on his private land. They made sure that he didn’t damage anyone’s vehicle and they let the drivers know that nothing could be done since they were tresspassing.
Hearing The Story
He Made His Point
Although the car owners could have been charged with trespassing, Davao knew that he had taught them a lesson that would ensure they would never park there again. A video of the whole situation went viral, and it amassed responses from people around the world. One user 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 commenter said: “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 could finally return to his peace and quiet.
The Farmer Won Out
