complaint

'When neighbors start talking, good things happen.' What might have seemed like a sensible slogan at the time, now feels more like the punchline to the fantastic accidental comedy of Nextdoor. We're eternally grateful for Twitter account @bestofnextdoor, who does a killer job documenting all the hilarious little moments that happen on the app and would otherwise stay in that context. Sometimes it's fun to elevate the minutiae and pettiness of everyday life. We' sure got a few chuckles out of this batch of Nextdoor gems. 

A good neighbor strives to be both patient with others around them and receptive to reasonable criticism. If everyone in a neighborhood simply communicated with empathy and respect, its inhabitants would live in perfect harmony. But who are we kidding? This is not the kind of world we live in. In reality, human beings are very good at harboring resentment until it manifests in an explosion of petty conflict. But hey, at least sometimes the pettiness can be pretty entertaining for those gawking from the sidelines. r/PettyRevenge is a great place for anyone seeking that schadenfreude fix, and we've grabbed a satisfying story from redditor u/Your_acceptable, who taught their annoying neighbors a lesson with some good old fashioned pettiness. Others in the thread replied with tales of their own relatable grievances. 

One of our favorite Twitter accounts @bestofnextdoor is still at it with the hilarious gems from Nextdoor. If you aren't familiar with the app, it's basically facebook for specific neighborhoods. The creators had the theory that 'when neighbors start talking, good things happen.' Not everything that happens on the app is good, per se, but things can definitely get pretty weird, that's for sure. If you've ever been pissed off about someone on the block leaving slices of cheese on your windshield, Nextdoor is your place to publicly complain. We've got a handful of gold posts from @bestofnextdoor that range from hilariously petty to actually kind of wholesome.
