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.

We almost completely control the lives of our pets. We are responsible for how they get fed, entertained and even groomed, but the only thing they can't rebel against is the fact that we can name them pretty much whatever we want.
Petfinder names collect all the most strangely titled animals that can be found on adoption websites, and it proves just how much the names we pick for pets reflect the quirks of our own personality. There are some pretty unconventional choices here, but a lot of them are also strangely fitting. They remind us that ultimately, the only criteria for naming your pet is how many strange looks you want to get when you call for them outside.
Happy weekend! If you're looking for a way to tune out and laugh your worries away, we're here to help. This hefty assortment of memes has a little bit of everything and that means there's something for every kind of meme lover. Dog memes? Check. Depressing memes? Check. Incredibly dumb memes? We've got those too.
While it's truly amazing that people struggling physical and mental illnesses or disabilities can receive assistance from a service animal, this thread points out just how easy it is to fake these needs to abuse the system. Lying in this way can give service animals a bad reputation, complicate the lives of people who really need the animals, and could even hurt people. This Tumblr thread couldn't cover these issues more perfectly.
When TV Reporter Juliana Mazza began reporting on the dognapping of Titus the pointer, the last thing she expected was to solve the crime in the middle of the broadcast. A doggo got to go home and a journalist got the local news moment of a lifetime. We love to see it.
As the states try to segue into some kind of normalcy by opening up businesses and encouraging people to "get out there" (masked or vaccinated) we're reminded of one blaringly painful fact. That we hate humans. Loud. Rude. Entitled. Oblivious. The moment we step outside or onto the train, the misanthropy starts bubbling over, making us wish we'd stayed at home. In these moments, it's beneficial to flat out pretend that humans don't exist. And with the sheer volume of animal memes on the internet, we know we can pretend for quite a while. They're so much better (and cuter) than humans. It makes sense they'd make better meme subjects, too.
Against all odds, Prancer the 'demonic' and seemingly un-adoptable chihuahua that went viral last month has finally found a home. While fostering Prancer, Tyfanee Fortuna had a difficult time getting anyone interested in adopting the rude little guy, so one day she decided to turn to brutal honesty. The lengthy but hilarious Facebook post Tyfanee wrote about Prancer went viral, which turned out to be a blessing for Prancer. Last week, the adorable nightmare went home to a loving new companion. Sometimes the internet is good.
Finally, some good effing news. Yesterday Matthew Battista posted a video of his wife Elissa reuniting with Fisher the Boston Terrier, who had gone missing nearly 300 days ago in Ocean City, MD. Elissa had set up a facebook group months ago called Find Fisher, which gained almost 9,000 good samaritans, many of whom aided Elissa in the search for Fisher. Try not to cry while watching the video of Fisher and Elissa seeing each other for the first time in several months. Faith in humanity: Restored.
Feeling pretty sick and tired of humans? Think they're ruining the planet? What a coincidence! We feel the same way. That's why we're offering up this meme-centric palate cleanser of animal content. While we have obviously included memes dedicated to our beloved cats and dogs, this gallery seeks to broaden the animal meme-osphere by including some more exotic specimens in this collection of animal-related humor. After all, you don't have to be domesticated to become a meme. You just need to have a funny little spark. And most animals more than satisfy that requirement.
It seems like animals always have the power to make us feel all better. No matter what you're sad about, a cute puppy or a little baby tiger will probably put a little smile on your face.
Warning: these memes are so heartwarming they might make you shed a tear. Or ten.
