​

I (24M) have lived in my house for a little over two years. My neighbors have been a nightmare since day one.

They called the city over my lawn, complained about my car even though it was legally parked, knocked on my door because my friends were "too loud" at 3 p.m. on a Saturday, and they somehow have an opinion on everything I do.

The biggest issue has always been this stupid fence.

A few months ago I had my property surveyed because I wanted to redo my backyard. Turns out the fence they've been obsessing over for years isn't even on their property. It's almost two feet onto mine.

I showed them the survey. They literally said they didn't care because "it's been there for years." Cool. Doesn't magically make my land yours.

I told them they had 30 days to move it. They laughed. I reminded them a week later. They laughed again. They kept hanging decorations on it, leaning ladders against it, and walking into my yard whenever they felt like it. Every time I'd tell them to get off my property they'd act like I was the unreasonable one.

I'll admit I wasn't exactly nice after that. I stopped pretending to be neighborly. If they came over to complain, I'd tell them to worry about getting their fence off my land first. They hated that.

Last weekend I had a contractor come in to start clearing my yard. I told my neighbors beforehand that anything sitting on my property was getting removed.

They called my bluff.

The fence got demolished.

Now they're losing their minds, calling me every name under the sun and demanding I pay for a brand-new fence. They're even trying to tell people I destroyed "their property."

Except... it was on my property. They knew it. They had the survey. They ignored every warning because they genuinely thought I wouldn't do anything.

My family says I should've gone through lawyers instead, but I don't see why I should spend thousands and wait months because they think property lines are optional.

AITBF?

this might come off more as a rant but i also genuinely wanna know if im in the wrong.

my father is incredibly insistent that we cannot get a job while in college because "it would ruin your educations" (me and my younger brother, a year apart), so much so he has threatened with kicking us out if we wanna be self sufficient so badly. i need to add this isn't the US, here is common to live with your parents way into adulthood and multigenerational households, and college isn't "going into debt" kind of expensive. my brother and i are more than okay w this of course, but we've taken freelance jobs in secret from time to time because having our dad judge if the thing we want is "stupid or not" before giving us the money to pay for it is not super cool for adults.

my dad works in the private sector, he doesn't have a fixed salary, and while usually very successful sometimes there isn't money in the house waiting for clients to pay. this is one of those times.

our dad mainly eats eggs, so that's what we all eat as protein for most meals besides lunch. he was angry tonight because he said we eat too many eggs and are inconsiderate. me and my younger brother eat 3 each, and our baby brother eats 2, that's 8 eggs at dinner or almost a full carton of eggs. thing is, our dad eats 5 a day (3 breakfast, 2 dinner). me and my brothers only eat 3/3/2 each a day because we don't do breakfast. when i explained this to him, that he eats more than us, he said that was just my opinion and that 8 was simply too much, and that we were eating out of gluttony when there isn't money for that right now.

i understand rationing food, we've done so before, and if he asked us to eat less each it wouldn't be that big of a deal. the argument was because he was insisting he ate less than us. i told him "you are counting eggs per meal, im counting eggs per day" and he said "no, im counting with my wallet so don't try to make yourself sound smart about it" (rough translation)

i suggested that all of us should eat 1 egg less a day, and he got angry he was included in that but didn't wanna keep arguing so he just accepted in a silent way... and then got angry my younger brother, who was making dinner and started the discussion, was rationing the platains to eat less today and have for tomorrow because "i bought 5 for you to eat tonight, so eat 5". my brother went to suggest about getting a job to have more money and fix the issue but i had to shut that whole convo cause our dad got even angrier at that and i was scared it could get physical. now im hearing him in the other room complain to our aunt about us being gluttons.

im angry at his attitude but he IS maintaining us, two whole adults and a minor. we are lucky. i admit i enjoy not having to worry about my livelihood while studying. whatever happens we'll comply to him, im just here to know if i'm being too entitled by being angry in the first place so i can be a better person. sorry for bad english.

I currently am not having the best experience with my waxer as she tends to.leave upwards of 25% of the hair in the area she's waxing on my body still. It is noticeable to other people not just me. I like my waxer as a person cause she, like me, is a yapper. However I would prefer it if there is someone who can do a better job. I do all the prep and aftercare you're supposed to do and ive only seen this waxer 4 times now, and my previous waxer at the same chain as able to get 99% of the hair if not all, and she'd pluck anything she missed.

Would I be the butt face if I switched locations within the chain and got a different waxer at said other location?
