He Used His Neighbor’s Stepson To Work Off The Money His Neighbor Owes Him, And Now His Neighbor Says He Humiliated Him
This man’s neighbors often take advantage of him. When his neighbors come over to his house to hang out, they don’t bring anything with them, which he thinks is rude.
While he’s babysat his neighbors’ children an insane amount (upwards of a hundred times), his neighbors have only returned the favor once.
His neighbor has constantly asked to borrow his tools, and unfortunately, the tools end up either lost or broken. Even worse, his neighbor has never given his tools back or replaced them.
Once, he and his partner planned to attend a concert and dinner with their neighbors. Since he and his partner purchased the concert tickets, his neighbors promised to pay for dinner.
However, once they got to dinner, his neighbor said that he’d forgotten to bring his card with him, so he asked if he and his partner could foot the bill for dinner instead.
His neighbors’ bad behavior has been happening for years.
“My neighbor owed me $200. He has owed me this money for eight months now. They have the money,” he said.
“They have quite a bit of money, but every time I bring it up, he doesn’t have cash right now or doesn’t have it on him. His cash is in the safe in his house, and he can’t get it out right now kind of a deal.”
However, he knows that these are all excuses and that his neighbors aren’t financially struggling.

Eight months ago, his gardener was working on some projects around his house. His neighbor sent him a text message asking if he could contract his gardener to do some work at his house, too, since the gardener had all the equipment right there.
His neighbor wasn’t home at that time, but he promised that as soon as he got back home, he’d pay him back.
He agreed to this, and after the projects were completed at his house, his gardener moved on to working on his neighbor’s house, and he did a wonderful job.
He compensated his gardener accordingly, but his neighbor never paid him back like he’d claimed he would.
“My neighbor also has a teenage stepson. I had some yard work to do, like tearing out some pavers and getting ready for painting,” he explained.
Before starting the work, he saw his neighbor’s stepson walking home after school, and he got an idea.
He told his neighbor’s stepson that he had some manual labor he needed to find someone to do, and he would be paying someone for their hard work.
He continued, telling him that he would be offering $200, and he asked if he was interested in the project.
His neighbor’s stepson was thrilled about this and immediately accepted the offer.
“He does a great job. At the end of the day, I told the kid that I gave his dad the money, and he would give it to him,” he shared.
“I didn’t explain further. The neighbor dad texts me about what money I gave him. I told him the $200 he owed me to just give to his kid and that we’re square.”
“The dude is furious. He texts me how I embarrassed him, his wife is mad at him, his kid is laughing at him.”
Then, his neighbor continued throwing out insults and calling him horrible names.
He later explained everything to his neighbor’s stepson, telling him that it was an even exchange for the $200 that his neighbor had owed him. There were no hard feelings, and his neighbor’s stepson thought the whole thing was hysterical.
Apparently, he’s going to have his neighbor’s stepson over to his house to teach him how to play chess.
After the drama, both his wife and his neighbor are in agreement that he shouldn’t have tried to get payback for the $200 his neighbor owed him. They both believe that he should have just moved on.
Do you think he was wrong for what he did in retaliation for his neighbor not paying him back?
