Out here in New York City, most of us have too many neighbors to bother getting to know them. or communicate with anyone. While there are a few neighborhood or block associations that strive to bring the community together, but they can be pretty insular. People in my neighborhood don't use sites like Nextdoor to communicate. It's usually a quick "How ya doin?" or, when something is amiss, a quick complaint session on the sidewalk. Thanks to the Internet, we know that this is not the case in th…

There is a spectrum of pettiness that we are all on, but some people go so above and beyond. Some special petty divas allow the pettiness they had in life to come through beyond the grave. Often this is communicated in the form of wills or inheritances. Who could forget a certain news anchor whose mother only left him $1 in her will? One might think there isn't an act of post-mortem pettiness greater than that, but they would be gravely mistaken.

When neighbors start talking, hilarious things happen. This should have been Nextdoor's slogan, because the app is full of priceless posts full of pettiness, gossip, and bizarre observations. Whatever the original intent of the app was is irrelevant at this point, because there's no arguing that Nextdoor's social platform has become a comedy goldmine.

One redditor decided on the latter after witnessing his exhausted sister get crap from her husband for not serving him dinner even though she'd cooked everything. Angry on his sister's behalf, OP taught his brother-in-law a lesson—a petty move that might have done more harm than good, but satisfying nonetheless.

"When neighbors start talking, good things happen"

Here in New York City we usually have too many neighbors to bother getting to know or communicate with anyone. Sure, there are a few neighborhood or block associations, but they're usually pretty insular. Nobody we know uses sites like Nextdoor to communicate. It's usually a quick “How ya doin?” or, when something messed up is happening, a quick complaining session on the sidewalk. This does not seem to be the case in the suburbs. We've come to this conclusion thanks to Best of Nextdoor Twitter…
