petty

'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. 

"When neighbors start talking, good things happen." That's what Nextdoor's CEO Nirav Tolia likes to say about his social networking site. And he's not wrong. While the site's intended to connect neighbors to one another, it's often less of a useful community tool than it is a place for petty complaints and expert trolling. And the Twitter account @bestsofnextdoor keeps incredible track of the funniest posts from shit-starting neighbors. We've put together some of their latest (and greatest) uploads in this gallery, but if you like what you see, please give 'em a follow on Twitter. You'll be glad you did. 

These memes won't necessarily help you forget about your ex, but they will help you mask the pain with inappropriate amounts of sass.

Just remember it can always be worse, as proven by these people admitting to the pettiest reasons they broke up with someone.

These people have perfected the art of being petty.

We've never seen petty like this before and honestly, this story has so many levels of petty that we're gonna have to just let it do all the talking. All we can really say is that it involves world-renowned a-hole Anish Kapoor, his "bean" (aka Cloud Gate), and the world's blackest black shade of paint.

Sometimes getting pregnant isn't just about wanting to have kids. These women reveal their extremely strange and sometimes petty reasons for getting pregnant.

Sometimes fully grown adults can really amaze us with their stupid levels of pettiness. Like, seriously, this is some middle school-level grade-A pettiness right here. In this particular "case" (if you can even call it that), Lawrence Police in Kansas responded to two adult children having the world's pettiest standoff in a private parking lot. Enjoy!

Ever just find yourself feeling extra petty? The fine folks at Thunder Dungeon know that feel, and have summed it up in this deliciously meme-y form.
