Man Rejects Entitled Neighbor's Ridiculous Request


You never know if you're going to end up moving into a new home that's plotted alongside an absolute waking nightmare of a human being. Some neighbors seem to have missed the boat for when it comes to how to carry oneself with decency, proper social etiquette, and not spew gross entitlement all over the place. This neighbor showed up at the poor guy's home to demand that he only let his dogs out at certain times so that her kids can play on his lawn. Um, what? Did you buy his house too? 

For some more lovely neighbor drama check out this revenge story about neighbors that wouldn't turn down their heater, and ended up paying the ultimate price

Font - AITA for not letting my neighbors kids play on my lawn? Not the A-hole I'm a man in my early thirties, l'm a MD (Dermatologist) and for recently I decided to move out of my apartment to a place with more space, especially a lawn, so that my dogs (I have two) can have more space. I spent a lot of my time in my clinic (private practice) and due to that, the two of the being said, more space would definitely be advantageous for them. spend a lot of time alone. That

Font - I searched for a quite a while before I found a house that I liked (had a big lawn) and ended up buying it. It's in a very tiny neighborhood in my city and quite a calm one which is always great. I've moved to this house about a week ago and haven't had any real troubles at all. Everyone seemed friendly enough. Last friday however, when I got home and went to the lawn to play with my dogs a woman came to knock on my door. She's one of the neighbors and is part of their association. I'm no

Font - I went to answer the door and see what did she need. She was pretty nice at first, welcoming me to the neighborhood and all that. But afterwards she said and I quote "So, I know your new, but we would like to ask you to keep your dogs inside your house when you're out. The kids like to play on the houses lawns and they are afraid of your dogs. So, you need to put them inside when you're not at home."

Font - For a moment I didn't quite believe what I heard and asked her to repeat, and she indulged me like this was a common occurrence. I just told her flat out "No, the lawn is for the dogs. Your kids have no business going to my property, nor do you have any ground to make that demand." She did not take that well. She told me she was going to contact the association and all other kind of stuff. I just told her flat out that she could call the pope for all I cared. It was my property and my say

Font - Oh boy, how wrong was I to say that. She left fuming and apparently, throughout the weekend started to spread rumors about me to the neighbors. People who would smile at me or say "good morning" no longer even look at my face. Honestly, I'm more pissed than anything. But seeing this many people believing my actions were that of an It makes me wonder if I'm not in the wrong. I mean, they were just kids, I could have let them play in the lawn. Anyway, I decided to ask reddit for help here.

Font - Cato_95BC · 18h · Colo-rectal Surgeon [44] 3 1 Award You are categorically NTA. ' "No, the lawn is for the dogs. Your kids have no business going to my property, nor do you have any ground to make that demand."" This is bang on. The entitlement of certain parents never ceases to amaze me. It's your property. Even if you didn't have dogs, you might just want peace and quiet. This is before we even get to possible legal issues about being aware others are using your property as a red centre

Font - NTA It's your lawn, not a public park. But I'm just curious: we would like to ask you to keep your dogs inside your house when you're out. The kids like to play on the houses lawns and they are afraid of your dogs. How do you leave your dogs out, yet the kids are roaming around freely? l'd assume a fence to keep the dogs in, but then how are the kids getting in? Is this a long-leash or electric collar situation? Also, as am I not a dog owner: is it even safe to let your dogs outside when

Font - 2 3 4 Awards NTA. That woman is insane. You have a fenced in lawn on your property. That is your space. Yours and your dogs' space. To say "please don't use your property which you bought so that my kids can use it"... I mean, she has to be literally insane to think you'd accomodate that. My advice is to find out if there is a community message board or FB page. Go there and explain like this, "I'm new to the neighborhood, want to introduce myself. I'm frequently out with my dogs on my fr

Font - PrairieDogStromboli • 18h · Certified Proctologist [24] NTA. Private property is private. No one has any right to use it if you don't allow it. Plus, if one of them gets injured while on your property, whether you allowed them there or not, it's your homeowner's insurance that will have to pay them, and then your rates go up. Just make sure to have cameras visible all around your house and pointed at your lawn. You never know when crazy people like that will try to damage something or wor

Font - SnooGuavas4531 · 18h · Partassipant [1] Put up a fence. If you're not in the hoa and aren't covered by their rules, then you can do what you want with your yard. If you have a fence, raise it, put up no trespassing signs, or lock it. You are obviously NTA for wanting to have your dogs in your yard. If there's nothing unsafe to eat there's no reason they can't play by themselves with you checking in occasionally. G Reply 37 ...

Font - galaxybookworm123 · 18h · Partassipant [2] NTA - first , upgrade the fence so damage can't be made by kids trying to get into your lawn. Second , get some cameras in your gardens because she may do something to your dogs when you are out or she may claim that your dogs did something to her. It's better to have video evidence of what ever she does. G Reply 1 23 ...

Font - No_Proposal7628 · 16h NTA. It's your property and you can have you dogs out on it whenever you want. The kids shouldn't be playing and running in your yard. The other problem is the liability issue. If a child gets injured on your property, that entitled parent is going to try and get damages from you because you allowed her kid to get hurt in your yard. A fenced yard is a signal to others that this is private property and not to be entered without the owners permission. I would post No T
