The statement "and now am currently effing up a slice of carrot cake" has been etched upon my lexicon list of "I did not see THAT phrase coming." (Carrot cake doesn't get nearly enough love these days, tbh--and I say this as a chocoholic!)
Since you like carrot cake and chocolate, may I suggest carrot cake with chocolate sauce on top? It's really popular here in Brazil and some people will literally fight for a piece of it at gatherings.
Story 1 - “His kind only owns Rottweilers and Pit bulls” What ‘kind’ is she referring to? Seriously, was that a racial slur or gang assumption? Also I hope that she was fired from her job.
@@alyssapalmer1995 I thought it was either racism or she was profiling him based on how he dressed or something... I was really hoping it was the latter, but not surprised in the least it's the former.
The only reason why I think she said that was probably more due to personal experience, that she has seen a few African American people with such a dog. know about a TON of racial stereotypes (none that I use on purpose), but is there really a stereotype of "Black people like adopting Pitbulls and Rottweilers"? Like what...?
Absolutely, and he was right to! If they had gotten in a fight and there wasn't a witness, poor guy would most likely be the one getting fired/arrested.
Story 1- wtf where does she get off by saying OP's kind only own pittbulls and rotties 😒 I have seen people of all kinds of races own pittbulls and rotties. They are some of the most loveable and very loyal dogs. The best dog we ever had was half rottie, and he was the biggest baby who loved everyone. I despise people who act like the Karen in this story! They need to worry about their own self before they worry about others!
Pits are the most dangerous breed BY FAR and i honestly believe they should be banned. In 2019, pit bulls accounted for 91% of all reported fatal attacks on other animals, 91% of all fatal attacks on other dogs, 76% of all fatal dog attacks on cats, and 82% of all fatal dog attacks on other pets, poultry, and hoofed species Like its not even close.
Literally. One of my family's current dogs is a pitty. Our previous dog was a rottie. Both are rescues and super sweet. I never even heard the rottie bark much. The pitty we have does bark but to get people's attention to play with him
@@wintershard588 I used to be terrified of any bigger dog until we got our sweet Jack. My old neighbor had two pittbulls and they always wanted into my yard lol anyway they both got often and I always grabbed them when I seen them in the alleyway. They both (male and female) were incredibly sweet and just wanted to be loved on. I always enjoyed loving on them and genuinely miss them.
Living in a semi rural area myself I find it hard to trust rural people when they deal with “outsiders”. They are inherently prejudice and ignorant to others so the farmer is definitely up to something, or just an arsehole.
Right? The whole story I kept thinking how this adult was being this petty over a teenager giving him a little attitude? Something's definitely wrong here.
@@cynister7384 Two things stood out. The first is that in her post she refers to them as 'rednecks', which is a derogatory term. The second is that she's describing the cow incident as though they intentionally allowed the cow to get out and made sure it ended up on their property. Cows get out sometimes. The way she described it makes it seem like she was glaring at the two farmers while they tried to get the cow back where it belonged. I'd be mad if I were those farmers because that's insanely disrespectful.
@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 Honestly even if that's true, that's literally nowhere near enough for this person to ruin their living situation. Even if glaring at a cow is as disrespectful as you say, I still think the neighbors are very much overreacting.
Fire starter was probably on drugs, passed out and the fire started. Shaking him brought him slightly to consciousness and when he heard police he worried that they would find whatever illegal substances he had.
@@megansimplystitch You better check your state laws, because in almost every jurisdiction in North America, threatening someone with a weapon is a felony, regardless of whether there is injury or even contact.
Not fired, just never got another delivery order via the app. They do that so the driver decides to leave, as firing costs money, but simply scheduling zero availability for them on the app means they will delete it after a while.
Racist? I didn't hear anything racist. I heard elitism and arrogance but how does race enter into it? The phrase "your kind"? I thought that meant "redneck" in this instance.
The second story about the pig pen. Anyone else thinkong of the story about the guy and family building a pig farm to make the family move out or is it just me? In addition. If it is that guy. How wild would it be if that is the other side of that lol
Story 1. This is why you always chip your pets!!! I would have been so scared she'd come back and try and take the dog. Have had people slow down and stop next to me, while I walk my chihuahua. When I lifted up my phone to start filming, they decided to take off.
Didn't have to do that with my mom's dog a couple of years ago. A crack head tried to take my mom's dog from over the fence. My sisters dog got a hold of the crack head. The sleeves of his hoodie was missing after that.
Well I just love how people move to the country and then try to act like they still live in the city Us country folks raise live stock shoot guns and generally don't worry about how much noise we're making Live stock smells and guns are loud, but hey you wanted to live in the country right?
@@markgoodwin4500 This isn't about them expecting farmers to behave like city folks. Things were fine until the farmer demanded OP apologize for playing music he didn't like and then he got petty. How if, instead of it being about music, the farmer built the pig barn where he didn't like,"those coloured folks." Still perfectly legal, still no recourse that can be taken. That's a different level I'll admit, but it's the same type of logic at play.
@@markgoodwin4500 Not the point. That farmer is a HUGE AHole for having his mind made up after not getting his first apology. That is not about city vs country, but plain nastiness.
"I think I was the Karen" story: when my family moved from the city to a more rural area, we found that our neighbor's cow got out and visited our lawn. Our reaction was to laugh hysterically, and then help the neighbor get her back. She kept visiting several more times, and it just got funnier every time we found her there, because we never knew when she'd show up. The neighbor kept trying to rebuild her pen to be stouter and stronger... but she's a very persistent cow. We recently sold the house to some friends... and we left the phone number to the neighbor who owns the cow on the fridge door, so the new homeowners will have it. Just in case she comes back, so they'll know who to call. 🐄
@@tinydancer7426 The neighbors try really hard to fence that cow in. But she's a very friendly cow, and she's the only one they have -- she really needs a herd -- and so she keeps breaking out of that pen and goes visiting. So they do their best to keep good fences, but it hasn't mostly worked. We don't fence in our land because we don't really mind who comes visiting, be that neighbors, deer, or that cow. 🤣
Cows are really good at breaking fences when they put the effort into it. Some cows are veritable Houdinis. So the polite rural thing to do is call the owner to come get it and help them get it back into their own property.@@tinydancer7426
The farm behind my childhood home had a bunch of cows who would come up to the back fence all the time. We would feed them carrots and have a good time
Story 2: Yes, the smell of pigs can be really bad. I know OP was wondering if she caused the problem, but I suspect that barn (with the pigs) was going to get built in any case. What I wonder is if the farm had other pig facilities before. It's not just OP that gets to deal with it. BTW, I have worked in sow sheds, which are even worse smells. This is probably a finish barn.
Farmer was either an asshole who didn't like the "disrespect" of playing music at 10 or he wanted the land and used the pigs to force op's family to sell cheap.
Story 3 - no idea how those neighbors could stand to listen to the smoke detector going off for the whole time they were cooking. Mine beeps once while I'm cooking and I'm over there waving away any "smoke" telling it to shut up.
Dog Story: I hope that Karen was given a Ticket for Misuse of the Emergency System and a Ticket for Filing a False Police Report... I know I'd have given her both Tickets along with a Written Warning...
Story 3: I have to wonder, was the neighbor okay in the head? He straight up almost murdered the person who SAVED HIS PECKING LIFE FROM SMOKE, that's some disrespect. He doesn't just need eviction, he needs to go to jail!
What I wonder...you smell smoke and hear the smoke detector in the neighboring apartment. The logical thing is...call maintenance?? I'd call the fire department.
Story 2 - You're right about there being more to that story than told. The music would hardly be heard inside a house unless they were right next to it, and dirty looks or a comment about "respecting property rights" aren't enough to demand an apology over. Nobody is going to spend the cost of building a barn/shed or buying a large amount of livestock over something so petty either. There is either something else going on or it's a made up fiction.
Profit from pig meat and buying your neighbors land when they are forced to sell it for cheap when they can't take the smell anymore are pretty good reasons to invest in pig shed. A teenage girl's sullen attitude sounds like a petty excuse to do what they wanted anyway.
You've never lived in a small town then. Just them being from a bigger city is enough for the entire town to be petty. I watch it happen constantly. It's one of the bad things about living in small towns. There's nothing to do but stir drama.
@@chadwood4412 Most people in a small town have no problem with city folks. just so long as you dont try and bring the big city with you. if they arent treating you like friends. maybe look what you are doing.
There's a smell out there that's somehow even worse. During the Christmas season in the colder parts of the country, cities would lace their Christmas trees with a extremely vile but easily obtainable liquid call fox urine, which would freeze out in the cold, I say this because the reason the city did this in secret was because of a few reports of a number of the Christmas and spruce trees going missing, now imagine a Christmas tree being decided while the urine melts, and fumigates of the spell of a corpse buried under limburger, expired milk and rotten tomatoes. Fox urine is so potant that the smell never truly goes away even if you burn your house down
About a month ago I had to alert my landlady and maintenance that my upstairs neighbor was having a water leak and it was spilling through my light fixture. The water tank for that apartment burst. Thankfully it got resolved, but messed up my plans for the day. The upstairs neighbor had no idea it burst as they were in the living room until the landlady and maintenance guy went inside.
For sure! I live on a farm in the country and we got an older couple from the city living nearby. They complain all the time about noise from farm equipment, animal noises, animal smells, etc., etc., etc. They are a major pain in the butt but I would never spend the time and money driving them away when I’m perfectly protected by the agricultural zone I live in. It would take a lot for me to try to drive them out, they are also older retirees so they won’t be there forever anyways. The country is a beautiful and peaceful place to live but people need to consider what it’s like living near farms before making that move
Well in alot of these rual areas they are closed off to any and all new comers unless they are like minded and follow the status quo. Yes this kid is used to the city and is clueless about rual living but i believe that these country folk did not like having these city slickers coming into their area. I know ppl like this, grew up in rual area, moved to city but now live back in rual area to give my kids a connection like i had as a kid. How is it legal to build that close to a resident thats on a well that can and will be contaminated from the runoff leaching into the ground water.
@hedgiehogdudeu_u406 It's hard, cautious, constant work that could be fucked very easily by things outside of your control. I can see how that would make you an asshole. But that doesn't excuse it.
I grew up in the country, two miles from a pig farm. We were generally upwind, but on the days with a wind the other direction, it was unbearable. I can't imagine having that in your back yard. 😮
First story. I am a 53-year-old woman living with my 84-year-old mother and I have a black lab Manchester terrier mix and a 96 lb American Pitbull terrier mix. Before that I had another pitbull. She was a lab boxer mix. We take the dogs that are in danger because we have the means and the patience to work with them and I have the knowledge to train them. Don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a dog by its owner. Story 2: when you're blasting rap music at 9:00 at night and most farmers are up at 4:30 in the morning. Yeah, it's kind of a big middle finger to them.
I’m a city girl myself, and wouldn’t handle a farm life either lol. But I’d like to be friends with some farmers and would love to learn how to grow plants and veggies from them. My grampa would tell fun stories of him and some of his barn mates mess around back then. He always said “you’re not a man if you hadn’t tried to tip a cow once” I love my grampa. 😂❤
@@Some_Guy_6 I dunno, my grampa was also coo coo in the brain. Maybe learned it from his dad. I don’t even know if he ever did try to tip a cow since he never told me.
One thing I learned from reading Native American mythology is that putting beans, corn, and squash together makes them all grow better. It's the tale of the Three Sisters if you're interested
Cattle have a hard enough time as it is. They are totally dependent upon the ranchers and farmers to take care of them, and between their getting worms and other parasites, having a hard calving, having hoof problems, fly problems (the flies will lay their eggs in their hide and these turn into maggots), getting ill and not mention having an 1800 lb bull jump on their back once a year, don't they have to deal with enough without some dingbat pushing them over when they are trying to rest?
Story 2. Make a vanilla spray and spray it all over the house. It is used to block out the ammonia smell of an old style printer that we had at our office.
Or. You know. She could apologize for her deliberately rude behavior. The parents should offer apologies too And then her family might get some peace. Maybe the neighbors will be more helpful. Or maybe they will sell the pigs to another troubled farmer. .
@@megansimplystitchI doubt that would help now. The’ve built a barn and bought pigs. I assume they can sell the pigs and possibly get back most of that expense, but what about the barn? Do you think they are just going to spend all that money for nothing? I think that they had already planned to build the pig barn well before they became annoyed with their new neighbor.
Those agricultural types are usually pretty fussy about property and are more likely to respect your space than not. So yeah, I think there’s more to the story.
Story 3: Fire starter should have been arrested for assault and gone to jail Story 4: I would text OP and say "that is brilliant mate" I would want to shake your hand
Ok, people that own cattle do not "Let there cows into" your yard. Cattle can get out for any number of reasons.. gate not shut properly, fence down, tree fallen on fence... any number of reasons. If your neighbor was over there trying to get them back in, then no harm no foul.
@@wmdkitty You just showed your ignorance. We run 4 to 5 wire fences. As a matter of fact, it is ILLEGAL to run cattle in a pasture with less than 3 strands. So tell me, what kind of wire do you use that can take a 5000 lb tree falling on it. You know what they say, best to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are ignorant than open it and remove all doubt..
When I was a kid the neighbor's bull kept breaking out of his pasture to get to his ladies. He went through 2 different electric fences and stampeded the herd. The neighbor and his field workers fixed both fences and got the herd back. They moved the bull to the farthest pasture but had trouble with him all summer. In my experience farmers go to bed early and get up early to get everything done. No loud music unless it's Friday or Saturday but music still gets turned down by 10. Because we all had some kind of chores or church the next morning our parties ended by 11 pm. It was physically demanding work on a farm when I was young. Thank you. Ps ask most farm kids what a swine lot or barn smell is. Most will say the answer is money
There's definitely more to the pig story than loud music and a dirty look. Farmers don't tend to have the type of disposable income for petty revenge to the tune of $100k to get permits, build a pig barn, and order pigs. If a farmer isn't already a pig farmer, they're not going to decide to start raising pigs out of a little spite. Farmers days are full from sun up to sun down, they're not going to just add new work to fit into their already packed days.
And yet he somehow found the money, built the barn, bought the pigs, and added that workload to his day. So whether it was for petty revenge or something more, he definitely had both the money and the time.
@@hodgeelmwood8677 context matters, as does reading and comprehension. I didn't say a farmer wouldn't or couldn't do these things, what I said is a farmer wouldn't do these things out of simple spite over music and dirty looks. Hence the "there's more to the story than she's telling". I've had family members who were farmers their whole lives. Taking on more work and deciding to spend money excessively is not something they do lightly or willy-nilly. It's either done as a business decision or it's gotta be extremely important, as what they make in a 6 month season is used to fund the household for the entire year including preparing for the next season. Retribution for dirty looks is not "extremely important". All that aside, we don't actually know this happened. It's a story on Reddit, that doesn't automatically make it fact. So your assertion "And yet he somehow.... Yada yada yada", may not even be based on a true event, at the very least someone's exaggerated recollection. Or most likely as everyone's pointed out, half truths and withheld information.
@@tep5132 the "community" didn't build the barn or order the pigs. The farmer did. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying if it did happen, it happened for a lot more than a dirty look and loud music. The cost and amount of work to add pig farming to a farmers daily work load is not equitable for a "disagreement". If this story is even remotely true, the poster is leaving out a lot of info. That's the point.
That she, Karen and Karen's groom would get an apartment and eventually kick OP out by making it difficult for him to live there. The fact that they got the original lease means nothing because it's not their names on there. But they really thought you could just white out a name and put yours on it and make it official? Nope. That's fraud.
Story 2… how is the farmer permitted to build that barn ON the boundary? Shouldn’t it be required to be set back a specific distance from the boundary? Even on a farm?
It depends on the country, location within the country, and how the land is zoned+defined. This would be legal in a lot of rual places in the southern USA states on lands that's zoned agricultural. Im only really familiar with certain parts of agricultural farmland in Kentucky USA, Georgia USA, and Tennessee USA. There are often limits of how far from the property borders large structures and animal housing are allowed to be, but that distance feels and seems a lot smaller when the area is so wide open. 30 feet seems like a LOT in a city where things are closer together but can seem like nothing at all on farmland that is practically empty with everything spread out. I'm assuming op is exagerating when they say 20 feet from the house, but the scent and noise can definitely travel quite a bit and make it feel like it's right next to the house. It's also not unheard of for very small, close knit agriculture towns to overlook things here and there on purpose, particularly if it's somone well liked in the community who is doing it, and couple may not be fully versed in the legalities enough to question or involve a lawyer (not to mention how expensive lawyers are). This is also a common tactic used to drive people out of the community so that neighbors can purchase their land.
There a huge difference between farm smells from the farmer next door and his barn that is half a mile away and that same farmer building a pig shed 100 feet from the house
Regarding that second story, I know you are right. There is way way way more of the story than the OP is leading on. A farmer isn’t just gonna spend all that money to put up a pig barn, unless they really been pushed to the edge.they did it because they want to be rid of this family and by extension OP once and for all. And they won’t take that drastic measure unless they’ve really had it with OP.
After listening twice I still don't see what she did wrong, other than the music thing. If that's the only reason then the farmer is just petty After. Can someone point what I'm missing?
@@celterin we’re suspecting that the OP left out a lot of things in her story to make her look less bad. Because logically speaking of farmer who runs on pretty thin margins, would not go to all the money and trouble to put up a pig barn just for some loud rap music. so there’s much more to this story than the OP is leading on we seem to think and what you’re missing is the rest of the story
@@jamescaron6465 Farmers get up early and they need to go to bed early. If they hear her rap music it had to be pretty loud and was probably interruping their sleep. Then she complained about the farm equipment noise. She's 18-if she didn't like it she should have just moved!
Nothing. They get a bad rap because a few bad eggs raise them wrong to be vicious. They're actually some of the sweetest dogs when raised right. Very loyal and protective.
Second story: When you move to a place that has farmers, you can't change their way of doing business running their farms. This family needed to find out the layout of the land and how it was being used.
They never tried to change anything tho? OP was just being a teenager. The neighbors who decided to plummet their house value because a teenager glared at their cow are majorly in the wrong here.
Ive repeatedly learned from these stories that if you don’t farm, don’t buy a house in farmland! Even if it’s beautiful and cheap! Things are loud and they smell and literally everyone is ok with that and will look at you sideways if you’re not!
About noise, if you just let it happens and not give it any thought, your brain will start to treat it as white noise. After a few days of it, you'll fast asleep even if they make the noise in front of your window.
Story 2: Unless there is quite a bit more to the daughters behaviour than admitted I would say that the family has been victimised by some of the most petty nasty neighbours imaginable. The farmer said that his mind was made up so apparently there was nothing they could do to stop him at that point, which makes him the AHole BIG TIME!
Blasting loud music of any kind (especially rap with loud bases) at that time of night with windows down (nobody would complain if they were closed) can be a problem. It is obvious from the tone of the story that they asked her to turn it down and she didn't. This is retribution.
@@djangoropa9860 I think the point is that the 'retribution' is WAY over the top and argues a very nasty person indeed. I can't get past that. He resolved to be a nasty vindictive person and could not be moved from it subsequently.
@@djangoropa9860Most noise ordinances don't kick in until 10pm. If OP was being truthful about the time she could play her music as loud as she wants. If those ordinances also last until 6am like they do where I live then it's actually the farmer breaking the law.
Story 2: Points for self-awareness I guess, but what she really needs to do is swallow her pride and apologize to her neighbor. Or at least find out what's really going on.
Story 2: either OPs neighbors are BEYOND petty and just assholes or she's leaving a hell of a lot out of her story. Loud music at 9pm and giving them dirty looks for letting their cows onto her property does not, by any stretch of the imagination, warrant putting a pig shed next to someone's house.
People can be petty as hell but yeah - that's too much. Unless they always had plans to do something like that, including potentially buying OPs land for cheap, and it's just an excuse. So yeah, either OP is telling the truth but missed the neighbours long-term scheming or she did a lot worse.
You've got to love city folk who move to the countryside and learn a valuable lesson. I used to be a Sheriff's deputy. A family in the county called saying their neighbors were shooting. I went by and asked if they were shooting in a unsafe manner or what made them call us. They said, they are shooting. What part of that don't you understand? I said, well, if they are shooting in a safe manner, they are allowed to do that. They said shooting is always unsafe. I told them that wasn't true. Legally they can do that. They were shocked and said, if we knew about that we never would have moved here. I said, well, Good news, you're under no obligation to stay. They slammed the door.
For the pig story. I feel like I’ve heard one of these Redit stories from the Farmers prospective before where the music was on going late in the evening & that’s why they got pigs
Yeah that girl in the 2nd story with the pigs is straight up lying by hiding facts. This sounds almost exactly like a story my uncle tells me, but he’s the one that bought the pigs. It wasn’t because of some little tiffs here and there. The girl in high school was an absolute menace and was INSANELY spoiled. Her parents weren’t bad though, so idk how she got to be that way. 🤷🏻♂️
Story 2- I grew up in a farming town, and I can say for a fact that such pettiness from small-minded farming neighbors is not unexpected in the slightest. My grandfather made the mistake of trusting a survey he paid for to tell him his property bounds and planted crops accordingly. Turns out the survey was wrong, and my grandfather accidentally planted on trees on his land. 60 years later, the original neighbors son hated my dad, and he was grooming his step kids to hate me. Once our dogs got out and wandered onto his property and he decided the appropriate response was shooting them with buckshot. We also caught him sabotaging the trees that were in the contested area even after my Dad resurveyed the land and paid for it when asked. All this is to say is that OP didn't really do anything wrong and those farmers are just more small minded petty people that will take any offense and make it into a generational war if they have to. The only reason it won't affect me is I left my home town and have no intention of returning. The only consolation in letting them "win" by driving me away is that i know when my dad finally sells the farm the the neighbor won't be the buyer like he expected.
Again, there's more to this than what's being said. Most people will go to great lengths to make themselves look good even when wrong so... don't be so judgemental.
I would intentionally made a worse afterwards they put a farm and not put a big fu sign facing them every single day in front of my yard pointing at their house have big parties until the noise ordinance come in be the biggest pain in the ass possible. Then show up every town meeting from when they want to have something done to their property and dispute it making them pay for lawyers to make the county pay for them.
Story #2 farmers can be extremely petty and covetous. My parents lived in rural Midwest next to one. That farmer would try to force people out, buy up their homes and then cause "fires" to level the property to save cost on demolition
Story 2: There is such a thing in law as a private nuisance. If you do something on yiur property that impacts my ability to enjoy my property, thats a private nuisance. An attorney should be consulted in this regard.
Just build a ventilation shed against the property line that vents back towards their farm. Install fans. It won't catch everything, but they'll be just as miserable as you
Pig farm issue: I would suggest building a wind breaker on your side of the property line and return to normal. They are astounding good at also blocking smells.
Dude it's called "laxing" That's what happens when you constantly hear something that *should* tell you danger, but the danger never comes. So you can't take it seriously. That in of itself is a danger, but that is sadly a natural reaction. "Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a good example
10:04 the second story, its zones for algaculture your land owners did not realize that animals do in fact stink. unless you're buying the land to rezone it or to raise farmer, you have now learned not to move thier. thats why its cheap land. for farmers to be WANTING to move thier.
Story 1: Positive, Karen was concerned about stolen dog. Negative, Karen was a huge racist. Story 2: As a rural resident, the city girl is an AH. Cows getting loose and early morning/ late night work is life. I was laughing about how she didn't consider pigs being a big deal, knowing what was going to happen...
Yeah, I call bullshit. Never heard anything about cows getting of their fields, and I grew up in a town that had 3-4 cow farms next to a pretty upper class neighbourhood. And I knew a lot of kids living there. Never was there any livestock where it shouldn’t be. If you’re too cheap to build a good fence that’s on you.
@@The_real_ArovorI live in NY state and there are a lot of farms around. I've heard more than one report about horses getting out of a field and running or walking down the road. They put out reports so that motorists will be careful driving through that area until the horses are caught. I don't see why cows can't do the same thing.
Yeah that's a lot of money and as the property doesn't sound that big they are also smelling pig and have to care for them. Costs are also higher with a smaller lot of pigs. So they spend what 30.000 at least because she had the music loud one night and didn't help get the cow? i think not. They probbaly all complained about farm equiptment noises early in the morning, which is the time you have to use those.
@Iflie Exactly. She kind of glossed over it at the beginning when she said she had arguments with multiple neighbors and their kids, and she made a few complaints about the noise of farm equipment.
Story 2: There's a section of law specifically about things people build specifically to piss off other people, which are called (stop snickering) "Malicious Erections". They should talk to a lawyer.
Story 2: "There is no way that the neighbour is this petty". That's kinda disappointing coming from someone who reads so mucho of these stories. If anything, his behaviour is perfectly in line with what we've come to expect from Karens. Yes, even the most diehard farmer can secretly be a little b*tch Karen.
Story 2. As someone who has lived her whole life in the Midwest, surrounded by farms, you either assimilate or suffer the consequences. We have a certain way of life up here and we all stick together. Better just to go along with it than put up a fight, we will win.
Farmer story..you moved into a farming community, complained about them working in the morning, blasted music while they're trying to sleep, and you think they're in the wrong? Don't move to a farmers community if you're not ready for what comes with it, they wake up at the asscrack of dawn
OP2 is leaving out a LOT of stuff she must have done to provide that retaliation. Poor parents. OP is 18 and will be moving out any day. The parents, though, are stuck and unable to sell.
Sounds like they need to build a large outdoor sound system and blast rap music until the farmer come over angry then dial 911 and use 2a to solve the issue.
PSA- at least in california, a house needs to be empty, completely unoccupied by any living person, for 3 months for squaters rights to apply If you want to make it easier to fight against squatters at a secondary property or lets say your moms house while shes been in the hospital for 3 months, Bare Minimum, walk inside the building and take a picture with timestamps every couple months
The pig farm one. I had a friend in high school that had this happen. They just bought one of those industrial size fans (you usually will see them in mechanic shops, they are huge) and put it facing the pig owner's house. The pigs were gone in a month and never came back...lol Their house also did not stink after this.
There are nuisance laws, contruction laws etc etc etc, was it legal to build the pig barn that close to the property line ?? was it build according to code (I am sure a pig barn should have ventilation, but what kinf and is it installed properly etc) The small you might not be able to do much about, but the sound I think you act upon still, as before and after a certain hour of the day, it can be considered noise polution etc etc. So I would look into all those things, never piss of someone who can be destructive to some pork.
Having been a farmer, having had farmer neighbours And having had a few pigs, l struggle with this first story. Most farmers live a decent distance away from each other. To be bothered by one’s neighbours music would require some sizable speakers. Even in the country there are building codes on domestic and farm buildings. Building a piggery on a boundary line without the correct ventilation systems doesn’t sound right. To get the legal building permits takes months as all buildings have to meet those codes, and a notice of intent would have been issued to all the surrounding neighbours so they would have the right to contest the construction, long before the neighbours would be purchasing pigs. Being permitted to construct a piggery on a boundary line next to a domestic dwelling doesn’t make sense. Especially the numbers of pigs that constitute a commercial business. This issue would have gone straight to court. I will conclude that pigs are really clean animals, unfortunately a lot of owners mistreat and poorly house their pigs so the poor animals end up living in their own waste. My pigs free roamed in very large paddocks. They had a small pond in which they could wallow, and they slept in clean dry sheds with clean fresh hay every night. I should add that it didn’t snow in winter where l lived so housing pigs was easier than if it had. And yes we had shit loads more farm animals which are too many to be included so the pigs were just a small part of daily chores.
There are ppl who will sue if someone tries to save them from committing suicide and even ppl who will sue if you save them from an accident of some sort and then they have permanent damage. As if the accident wasn't the cause 😒
In order to build a stable for pigs, it Must be at least 400 ft away from any residential boundry, vent away from any housing, and a building cannot go up without permits, a survey, and it cannot cause any disruptions to nearby homes.
So #2: Neighbors got pissed off because the girl told them to control their animal and they didn't like "her kind" (wonder if she had a different skin color) telling them what to do so decided to be asses about it. I grew up on a farm and the OP has nothing to apologize for, if anything the farmers should have apologized for their cow getting out and ruining the neighbors lawn. Animals get out but it is the owners duty to try to keep them contained and to keep them from damaging the property of others. Bet the neighbors were hoping to buy the land (or had been using it when it was vacant) and are now pissed they don't have it.
As someone who lives in the country, country people would certainly be that petty as to put in a pig barn. My husband has talked about doing exactly what that farmer did just because we have had our own issues with neighbors.
Story 2: Sure OP was an asshole and should have apologized for how they handled to cow situation. Still 9pm is a reasonable time to still be making noise, talking from a town with farm experience. If it really bothered them the way hand to handle it was go out and ask to turn it down, no yelling. They went nuclear for petty revenge level. Everybody sucks but neighbor could go to amithedevil. Obviously this is if op gave us all the information and didn't gloss over anything important.
Story 1: so if you want to know about the history of African Americans, bully breeds and racism: its pretty wild. The association of bully breeds being "bad" is suspected to be directly associated with the increase of ownership in the black community. (Cheap security9 Story 2: I dont think op is leaving much out, because like shes a teenager. How much could she have reasonable done to upset a grown ass man? If I had to guess if this is legitimate farmer country and not rich people with a lot of land farmers: OP is a minority or is a woman not acting conservatively. Especially with all that bit about her attitude, she probably wears crop tops or something that dude's pissed that she's tempting him. Small towns and small communities are just not friendly.
Story 2: Everyone is assuming that OP is leaving details out, but you can't really assume that. Based on the information given, OP and their family moved to a rural neighborhood and did little more than exist next to farmers who decided to hate their new neighbors because they didn't fit in. Farmers and country folk are more than capable of being petty and vindictive over small slights just like anyone else, and assuming OP left things out because it doesn't make sense to you in unfair. I'm not saying there's no chance she didn't leave something out, but we can't assume she did based on our own values
Also it seems like an awful big thing to take on just because OP was rude. The triggering incident seemed to be not helping capture the cow, which as I said above, is unrealistic on the farmer's part to expect someone who has never been around cows to help get one back to their property. I like cows but I would be very hesitant to approach one that didn't know me.
No, that pig story is so common it's a crime here. When I moved here the clown who owns the field next to me decided he could make some quick cash by trying a similar tactic, he spread several container trucks of blood on his land.
The statement "and now am currently effing up a slice of carrot cake" has been etched upon my lexicon list of "I did not see THAT phrase coming." (Carrot cake doesn't get nearly enough love these days, tbh--and I say this as a chocoholic!)
Since you like carrot cake and chocolate, may I suggest carrot cake with chocolate sauce on top? It's really popular here in Brazil and some people will literally fight for a piece of it at gatherings.
Story 1 - “His kind only owns Rottweilers and Pit bulls”
What ‘kind’ is she referring to? Seriously, was that a racial slur or gang assumption? Also I hope that she was fired from her job.
I heard that story a while ago and sadly yes because OP was African American.
@@alyssapalmer1995 I had a feeling.😔
@@alyssapalmer1995 I thought it was either racism or she was profiling him based on how he dressed or something...
I was really hoping it was the latter, but not surprised in the least it's the former.
I've never heard that stereotype before. Maybe it's a local thing?
The only reason why I think she said that was probably more due to personal experience, that she has seen a few African American people with such a dog.
know about a TON of racial stereotypes (none that I use on purpose), but is there really a stereotype of "Black people like adopting Pitbulls and Rottweilers"? Like what...?
Story 3 - Yeah OP and the Maintenance guy should have called the police because clearly that guy was unhinged.
@@Gamerghoul19 Ooh yeah, I never thought about that.
Dude's lucky OP wasn't a woman.
Because seriously, a man with a knife yelling "I know where you live" outside her door?
Yeah.
Maintenance Guy didn't want backup, he wanted a witness.
Absolutely, and he was right to! If they had gotten in a fight and there wasn't a witness, poor guy would most likely be the one getting fired/arrested.
I get the feeling the guy was making drugs in that apartment. It would explain the crazy behaviour and the smoke alarm going off all the time.
Story 1- wtf where does she get off by saying OP's kind only own pittbulls and rotties 😒 I have seen people of all kinds of races own pittbulls and rotties. They are some of the most loveable and very loyal dogs. The best dog we ever had was half rottie, and he was the biggest baby who loved everyone. I despise people who act like the Karen in this story! They need to worry about their own self before they worry about others!
Pits are the most dangerous breed BY FAR and i honestly believe they should be banned.
In 2019, pit bulls accounted for 91% of all reported fatal attacks on other animals, 91% of all fatal attacks on other dogs, 76% of all fatal dog attacks on cats, and 82% of all fatal dog attacks on other pets, poultry, and hoofed species
Like its not even close.
There are a bunch of white chicks with pitties in dresses, T-shirts, and tutus on social media.
Literally. One of my family's current dogs is a pitty. Our previous dog was a rottie. Both are rescues and super sweet. I never even heard the rottie bark much. The pitty we have does bark but to get people's attention to play with him
@@wintershard588 I used to be terrified of any bigger dog until we got our sweet Jack. My old neighbor had two pittbulls and they always wanted into my yard lol anyway they both got often and I always grabbed them when I seen them in the alleyway. They both (male and female) were incredibly sweet and just wanted to be loved on. I always enjoyed loving on them and genuinely miss them.
Racists will find a way to make anything racially motivated. 🤷♀️🙄🤦🏻♀️
I feel like number two has some info missing either that farmer is using the excuse to buy up their land or she's doing stuff that she didn't mention
Living in a semi rural area myself I find it hard to trust rural people when they deal with “outsiders”. They are inherently prejudice and ignorant to others so the farmer is definitely up to something, or just an arsehole.
Are you sure OP's the right skin color like in Story 1?
Right? The whole story I kept thinking how this adult was being this petty over a teenager giving him a little attitude? Something's definitely wrong here.
@@cynister7384 Two things stood out. The first is that in her post she refers to them as 'rednecks', which is a derogatory term. The second is that she's describing the cow incident as though they intentionally allowed the cow to get out and made sure it ended up on their property.
Cows get out sometimes. The way she described it makes it seem like she was glaring at the two farmers while they tried to get the cow back where it belonged. I'd be mad if I were those farmers because that's insanely disrespectful.
@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 Honestly even if that's true, that's literally nowhere near enough for this person to ruin their living situation. Even if glaring at a cow is as disrespectful as you say, I still think the neighbors are very much overreacting.
Fire starter was probably on drugs, passed out and the fire started. Shaking him brought him slightly to consciousness and when he heard police he worried that they would find whatever illegal substances he had.
I wondered why they didn't make a complaint to the cops. Threatening someone with a knife is a serious felony.
@@condorboss3339They weren't seriously injured. At best, it's a misdemeanor.
@@megansimplystitch You better check your state laws, because in almost every jurisdiction in North America, threatening someone with a weapon is a felony, regardless of whether there is injury or even contact.
Story 1: "What in the world is wrong with some people?" They're racists. I sure hope that Karen driver got fired!
Not fired, just never got another delivery order via the app. They do that so the driver decides to leave, as firing costs money, but simply scheduling zero availability for them on the app means they will delete it after a while.
@@SeanBZA Ah, thanks for explaining that! I'm an old fogey and don't understand how these new-fangled things work!
Racist? I didn't hear anything racist. I heard elitism and arrogance but how does race enter into it? The phrase "your kind"? I thought that meant "redneck" in this instance.
racists aren’t people
Right, i didn't hear anything about the person being a different race. Yiur kind could mean anything. @wfcoaker1398
The second story about the pig pen. Anyone else thinkong of the story about the guy and family building a pig farm to make the family move out or is it just me? In addition. If it is that guy. How wild would it be if that is the other side of that lol
I heard it on r/slash, and it kinda feels similar...
But idk
@oswaldtime yeah I could've sworn I heard it on r/slash, fluff here, and karma crow (maybe also uncle reddit and all these channels do great)
It’s a dick move if it just about rap music.
It sounds to me like the farmers are the roch racist entitled people here. That story made me so mad.
What was the reasonings of the farmer in the other story?
Story 1. This is why you always chip your pets!!! I would have been so scared she'd come back and try and take the dog. Have had people slow down and stop next to me, while I walk my chihuahua. When I lifted up my phone to start filming, they decided to take off.
Chipping does not prevent stealing.
@@aduckofsomesort SO? It proves ownership so you can get your baby or babies back.
@@aduckofsomesort Ain't a matter of prevention, but proving to authorities said pet belongs to you.
Didn't have to do that with my mom's dog a couple of years ago. A crack head tried to take my mom's dog from over the fence. My sisters dog got a hold of the crack head. The sleeves of his hoodie was missing after that.
@@RayneSaltair someone who steals an animal isn’t going to be taking them to a vet or shelter in your area
I feel sorry for the parents in the pig story, however, you need to pay attention to zoning allowances when moving into the countryside.
Also noise ordinance laws.
Well I just love how people move to the country and then try to act like they still live in the city
Us country folks raise live stock shoot guns and generally don't worry about how much noise we're making
Live stock smells and guns are loud, but hey you wanted to live in the country right?
@@markgoodwin4500
This isn't about them expecting farmers to behave like city folks. Things were fine until the farmer demanded OP apologize for playing music he didn't like and then he got petty.
How if, instead of it being about music, the farmer built the pig barn where he didn't like,"those coloured folks."
Still perfectly legal, still no recourse that can be taken. That's a different level I'll admit, but it's the same type of logic at play.
@@markgoodwin4500 Not the point. That farmer is a HUGE AHole for having his mind made up after not getting his first apology. That is not about city vs country, but plain nastiness.
@@keithprice475 It's simple, city people don't belong in the country. My family has done similar stuff to keep the trash out.
Final Story - Thank goodness OP changed the locks and informed his solicitor about what his Ex and Ghost were planning.
The ex was Ghost
"I think I was the Karen" story: when my family moved from the city to a more rural area, we found that our neighbor's cow got out and visited our lawn. Our reaction was to laugh hysterically, and then help the neighbor get her back. She kept visiting several more times, and it just got funnier every time we found her there, because we never knew when she'd show up. The neighbor kept trying to rebuild her pen to be stouter and stronger... but she's a very persistent cow.
We recently sold the house to some friends... and we left the phone number to the neighbor who owns the cow on the fridge door, so the new homeowners will have it. Just in case she comes back, so they'll know who to call. 🐄
Good fences make good neighbors.
@@tinydancer7426 The neighbors try really hard to fence that cow in. But she's a very friendly cow, and she's the only one they have -- she really needs a herd -- and so she keeps breaking out of that pen and goes visiting.
So they do their best to keep good fences, but it hasn't mostly worked. We don't fence in our land because we don't really mind who comes visiting, be that neighbors, deer, or that cow. 🤣
@@tinydancer7426big cows knock down fences all the time
Cows are really good at breaking fences when they put the effort into it. Some cows are veritable Houdinis. So the polite rural thing to do is call the owner to come get it and help them get it back into their own property.@@tinydancer7426
The farm behind my childhood home had a bunch of cows who would come up to the back fence all the time. We would feed them carrots and have a good time
Story 2: Yes, the smell of pigs can be really bad. I know OP was wondering if she caused the problem, but I suspect that barn (with the pigs) was going to get built in any case. What I wonder is if the farm had other pig facilities before. It's not just OP that gets to deal with it. BTW, I have worked in sow sheds, which are even worse smells. This is probably a finish barn.
Farmer was either an asshole who didn't like the "disrespect" of playing music at 10 or he wanted the land and used the pigs to force op's family to sell cheap.
Story 3 - no idea how those neighbors could stand to listen to the smoke detector going off for the whole time they were cooking. Mine beeps once while I'm cooking and I'm over there waving away any "smoke" telling it to shut up.
Dog Story: I hope that Karen was given a Ticket for Misuse of the Emergency System and a Ticket for Filing a False Police Report...
I know I'd have given her both Tickets along with a Written Warning...
Since it's likely bs story I doubt it
Story 3: I have to wonder, was the neighbor okay in the head? He straight up almost murdered the person who SAVED HIS PECKING LIFE FROM SMOKE, that's some disrespect.
He doesn't just need eviction, he needs to go to jail!
Or he had a hit of something while cooking then passed out before the fire started 🤷
Not jail but definitely a psych ward
I suspect he was angry that the cops were called because he still had other drugs on the premises, and didn't want the cops to know.
What I wonder...you smell smoke and hear the smoke detector in the neighboring apartment. The logical thing is...call maintenance?? I'd call the fire department.
So glad that Dark Fluff has started reading updates from some of these stories! Gives us more to judge the stories on!
Oh man Op he could've definitely taken that woman to the cleaners on a hate crime and profiling with the dog thing.
Maintenance Dude has seen some $h!t, lol.
Story 2 - You're right about there being more to that story than told. The music would hardly be heard inside a house unless they were right next to it, and dirty looks or a comment about "respecting property rights" aren't enough to demand an apology over. Nobody is going to spend the cost of building a barn/shed or buying a large amount of livestock over something so petty either. There is either something else going on or it's a made up fiction.
Profit from pig meat and buying your neighbors land when they are forced to sell it for cheap when they can't take the smell anymore are pretty good reasons to invest in pig shed. A teenage girl's sullen attitude sounds like a petty excuse to do what they wanted anyway.
I think you underestimate how petty some people can be.
You've never lived in a small town then. Just them being from a bigger city is enough for the entire town to be petty. I watch it happen constantly. It's one of the bad things about living in small towns. There's nothing to do but stir drama.
Story 2-never be rude to a farmer-re her music-could have been loud in driveway waking peoples kids, babies uo and stopping cows from giving milk
@@chadwood4412 Most people in a small town have no problem with city folks. just so long as you dont try and bring the big city with you. if they arent treating you like friends. maybe look what you are doing.
Pig smell is like no other smell. Even small exposure feels like you've marinated in the stuff.
Amen! Smells worse than any other manure. Yes, it sounds like OP is acting like the entitled one.
Ew🤣
There's a reason why Arabs hate them to the point of the word being one you can't say in company.
There's a smell out there that's somehow even worse. During the Christmas season in the colder parts of the country, cities would lace their Christmas trees with a extremely vile but easily obtainable liquid call fox urine, which would freeze out in the cold, I say this because the reason the city did this in secret was because of a few reports of a number of the Christmas and spruce trees going missing, now imagine a Christmas tree being decided while the urine melts, and fumigates of the spell of a corpse buried under limburger, expired milk and rotten tomatoes. Fox urine is so potant that the smell never truly goes away even if you burn your house down
Last story - why is no one talking about a woman nearly 40 years old still has her father handling rent/lease agreements for her??? WTAF?!
About a month ago I had to alert my landlady and maintenance that my upstairs neighbor was having a water leak and it was spilling through my light fixture. The water tank for that apartment burst. Thankfully it got resolved, but messed up my plans for the day. The upstairs neighbor had no idea it burst as they were in the living room until the landlady and maintenance guy went inside.
lol story 3 if your alarm is going off when you cook, you're doing it wrong.
Story 3: The maintenance man probably had this issue already with them, so they wanted a witness.
I feel like there’s more to the pig farmer story.
For sure! I live on a farm in the country and we got an older couple from the city living nearby. They complain all the time about noise from farm equipment, animal noises, animal smells, etc., etc., etc. They are a major pain in the butt but I would never spend the time and money driving them away when I’m perfectly protected by the agricultural zone I live in. It would take a lot for me to try to drive them out, they are also older retirees so they won’t be there forever anyways. The country is a beautiful and peaceful place to live but people need to consider what it’s like living near farms before making that move
Well in alot of these rual areas they are closed off to any and all new comers unless they are like minded and follow the status quo. Yes this kid is used to the city and is clueless about rual living but i believe that these country folk did not like having these city slickers coming into their area. I know ppl like this, grew up in rual area, moved to city but now live back in rual area to give my kids a connection like i had as a kid. How is it legal to build that close to a resident thats on a well that can and will be contaminated from the runoff leaching into the ground water.
Could be so. Or the farmer is a prick who doesn't understand that not everyone is his clone. Boomers own farms too.
@@zehkiel8018 I was about to say, I grew up on a farm and our neighbours were just assholes for no real reason
@hedgiehogdudeu_u406 It's hard, cautious, constant work that could be fucked very easily by things outside of your control. I can see how that would make you an asshole. But that doesn't excuse it.
I grew up in the country, two miles from a pig farm. We were generally upwind, but on the days with a wind the other direction, it was unbearable. I can't imagine having that in your back yard. 😮
First story. I am a 53-year-old woman living with my 84-year-old mother and I have a black lab Manchester terrier mix and a 96 lb American Pitbull terrier mix. Before that I had another pitbull. She was a lab boxer mix. We take the dogs that are in danger because we have the means and the patience to work with them and I have the knowledge to train them. Don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a dog by its owner.
Story 2: when you're blasting rap music at 9:00 at night and most farmers are up at 4:30 in the morning. Yeah, it's kind of a big middle finger to them.
But it was one time. It’s inconsiderate, but it sounds like it was just a mistake.
I’m a city girl myself, and wouldn’t handle a farm life either lol. But I’d like to be friends with some farmers and would love to learn how to grow plants and veggies from them. My grampa would tell fun stories of him and some of his barn mates mess around back then. He always said “you’re not a man if you hadn’t tried to tip a cow once” I love my grampa. 😂❤
What has "being a man" have to do with animal abuse?
@@Some_Guy_6 I dunno, my grampa was also coo coo in the brain. Maybe learned it from his dad. I don’t even know if he ever did try to tip a cow since he never told me.
One thing I learned from reading Native American mythology is that putting beans, corn, and squash together makes them all grow better. It's the tale of the Three Sisters if you're interested
Cattle have a hard enough time as it is. They are totally dependent upon the ranchers and farmers to take care of them, and between their getting worms and other parasites, having a hard calving, having hoof problems, fly problems (the flies will lay their eggs in their hide and these turn into maggots), getting ill and not mention having an 1800 lb bull jump on their back once a year, don't they have to deal with enough without some dingbat pushing them over when they are trying to rest?
Story 1: that took a turn I was not expecting, very innovative; 5 stars, would not want that ever again!
Im mortified about the karen house situation where they thought they could just move in-
Like can anybody please bring this part more attention..
Story 2. Make a vanilla spray and spray it all over the house. It is used to block out the ammonia smell of an old style printer that we had at our office.
Or. You know. She could apologize for her deliberately rude behavior. The parents should offer apologies too And then her family might get some peace.
Maybe the neighbors will be more helpful. Or maybe they will sell the pigs to another troubled farmer. .
@@megansimplystitchI doubt that would help now. The’ve built a barn and bought pigs. I assume they can sell the pigs and possibly get back most of that expense, but what about the barn?

Story 3: Fire starter should have been arrested for assault and gone to jail
Story 4: I would text OP and say "that is brilliant mate" I would want to shake your hand
Ok, people that own cattle do not "Let there cows into" your yard. Cattle can get out for any number of reasons.. gate not shut properly, fence down, tree fallen on fence... any number of reasons. If your neighbor was over there trying to get them back in, then no harm no foul.
Well, people who own cattle need to build proper fencing instead of expecting a couple of tiny wires to restrain livestock.
@@wmdkittyYou clearly have never been around horses or livestock. If one wants out, it'll find a way out even if the fence is built perfectly.
@@wmdkitty You just showed your ignorance. We run 4 to 5 wire fences. As a matter of fact, it is ILLEGAL to run cattle in a pasture with less than 3 strands. So tell me, what kind of wire do you use that can take a 5000 lb tree falling on it. You know what they say, best to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are ignorant than open it and remove all doubt..
@@gilded_lady Yes, they are called "fence breakers". And as soon as I can get it done, they are called "sold". LOL
When I was a kid the neighbor's bull kept breaking out of his pasture to get to his ladies. He went through 2 different electric fences and stampeded the herd. The neighbor and his field workers fixed both fences and got the herd back. They moved the bull to the farthest pasture but had trouble with him all summer.
In my experience farmers go to bed early and get up early to get everything done.
No loud music unless it's Friday or Saturday but music still gets turned down by 10. Because we all had some kind of chores or church the next morning our parties ended by 11 pm.
It was physically demanding work on a farm when I was young. Thank you.
Ps ask most farm kids what a swine lot or barn smell is. Most will say the answer is money
I gave all a like to start you off. Have a beautiful day guys!
There's definitely more to the pig story than loud music and a dirty look. Farmers don't tend to have the type of disposable income for petty revenge to the tune of $100k to get permits, build a pig barn, and order pigs. If a farmer isn't already a pig farmer, they're not going to decide to start raising pigs out of a little spite. Farmers days are full from sun up to sun down, they're not going to just add new work to fit into their already packed days.
And yet he somehow found the money, built the barn, bought the pigs, and added that workload to his day. So whether it was for petty revenge or something more, he definitely had both the money and the time.
@@hodgeelmwood8677 context matters, as does reading and comprehension. I didn't say a farmer wouldn't or couldn't do these things, what I said is a farmer wouldn't do these things out of simple spite over music and dirty looks. Hence the "there's more to the story than she's telling". I've had family members who were farmers their whole lives. Taking on more work and deciding to spend money excessively is not something they do lightly or willy-nilly. It's either done as a business decision or it's gotta be extremely important, as what they make in a 6 month season is used to fund the household for the entire year including preparing for the next season. Retribution for dirty looks is not "extremely important". All that aside, we don't actually know this happened. It's a story on Reddit, that doesn't automatically make it fact. So your assertion "And yet he somehow.... Yada yada yada", may not even be based on a true event, at the very least someone's exaggerated recollection. Or most likely as everyone's pointed out, half truths and withheld information.
It’s a community thing not the work of one individual farm, she said it was a common way the use to get rid of disagreeable neighbors.
@@tep5132 the "community" didn't build the barn or order the pigs. The farmer did. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying if it did happen, it happened for a lot more than a dirty look and loud music. The cost and amount of work to add pig farming to a farmers daily work load is not equitable for a "disagreement". If this story is even remotely true, the poster is leaving out a lot of info. That's the point.
That's just crazy. How did ghost think it was gonna end?!
That she, Karen and Karen's groom would get an apartment and eventually kick OP out by making it difficult for him to live there.
The fact that they got the original lease means nothing because it's not their names on there. But they really thought you could just white out a name and put yours on it and make it official?
Nope. That's fraud.
Story 2… how is the farmer permitted to build that barn ON the boundary? Shouldn’t it be required to be set back a specific distance from the boundary? Even on a farm?
It depends on the country, location within the country, and how the land is zoned+defined. This would be legal in a lot of rual places in the southern USA states on lands that's zoned agricultural.
Im only really familiar with certain parts of agricultural farmland in Kentucky USA, Georgia USA, and Tennessee USA. There are often limits of how far from the property borders large structures and animal housing are allowed to be, but that distance feels and seems a lot smaller when the area is so wide open. 30 feet seems like a LOT in a city where things are closer together but can seem like nothing at all on farmland that is practically empty with everything spread out.
I'm assuming op is exagerating when they say 20 feet from the house, but the scent and noise can definitely travel quite a bit and make it feel like it's right next to the house.
It's also not unheard of for very small, close knit agriculture towns to overlook things here and there on purpose, particularly if it's somone well liked in the community who is doing it, and couple may not be fully versed in the legalities enough to question or involve a lawyer (not to mention how expensive lawyers are).
This is also a common tactic used to drive people out of the community so that neighbors can purchase their land.
Yes I’ve had the swat team called on me before because I dared to ask my neighbors to turn down their cuss word filled rap music
Hip-hop is rife with sailor-mouthed artists. They cuss like Chileans.
Last one. I’d put their boxes out in the hallway so the movers don’t even need to go in the apartment.
Dont like farm smells, dont move near a farm.
There a huge difference between farm smells from the farmer next door and his barn that is half a mile away and that same farmer building a pig shed 100 feet from the house

*Story 3.. 🔥 starter ABSOLUTELY should have been arrested on a few charges!*
Regarding that second story, I know you are right. There is way way way more of the story than the OP is leading on. A farmer isn’t just gonna spend all that money to put up a pig barn, unless they really been pushed to the edge.they did it because they want to be rid of this family and by extension OP once and for all. And they won’t take that drastic measure unless they’ve really had it with OP.
After listening twice I still don't see what she did wrong, other than the music thing. If that's the only reason then the farmer is just petty After. Can someone point what I'm missing?
@@celterin Yeah, everything OP didn't say. OPs are not always the most truthful narrators, especially when the f*** up.
At the very least, they need to get the property lines checked and make sure the barn is the proper distance from it.
@@celterin we’re suspecting that the OP left out a lot of things in her story to make her look less bad. Because logically speaking of farmer who runs on pretty thin margins, would not go to all the money and trouble to put up a pig barn just for some loud rap music. so there’s much more to this story than the OP is leading on we seem to think and what you’re missing is the rest of the story
@@jamescaron6465 Farmers get up early and they need to go to bed early. If they hear her rap music it had to be pretty loud and was probably interruping their sleep. Then she complained about the farm equipment noise. She's 18-if she didn't like it she should have just moved!
What's wrong with Pitts and Rotts?
Nothing, that driver was just raycist.
Yeah I mean I had a pit that was a sweet little thing I miss him he was great with kids
@@NateWilliams-h8q And a thief.
People believe the stereotype of Pitbulls and Rottweilers are dangerous dogs.
My SIL has a Pitt and he's just the best dog to have around
Nothing. They get a bad rap because a few bad eggs raise them wrong to be vicious. They're actually some of the sweetest dogs when raised right. Very loyal and protective.
Second story: When you move to a place that has farmers, you can't change their way of doing business running their farms. This family needed to find out the layout of the land and how it was being used.
OP never said she complained, the farmer did about her music, took exception to her attitude and amped up to 11.
They never tried to change anything tho? OP was just being a teenager. The neighbors who decided to plummet their house value because a teenager glared at their cow are majorly in the wrong here.
Great line in the 3rd story. "Blaring music loud enough to make Hellen Keller ask them to shut up all day long."
Ive repeatedly learned from these stories that if you don’t farm, don’t buy a house in farmland! Even if it’s beautiful and cheap! Things are loud and they smell and literally everyone is ok with that and will look at you sideways if you’re not!
About noise, if you just let it happens and not give it any thought, your brain will start to treat it as white noise. After a few days of it, you'll fast asleep even if they make the noise in front of your window.
Story 3: call the police.
0:05 “cuz they’re special” yes very special… special Ed in fact
Story 2: Unless there is quite a bit more to the daughters behaviour than admitted I would say that the family has been victimised by some of the most petty nasty neighbours imaginable. The farmer said that his mind was made up so apparently there was nothing they could do to stop him at that point, which makes him the AHole BIG TIME!
Blasting loud music of any kind (especially rap with loud bases) at that time of night with windows down (nobody would complain if they were closed) can be a problem. It is obvious from the tone of the story that they asked her to turn it down and she didn't. This is retribution.
@@djangoropa9860 I think the point is that the 'retribution' is WAY over the top and argues a very nasty person indeed. I can't get past that. He resolved to be a nasty vindictive person and could not be moved from it subsequently.
@@djangoropa9860Most noise ordinances don't kick in until 10pm. If OP was being truthful about the time she could play her music as loud as she wants. If those ordinances also last until 6am like they do where I live then it's actually the farmer breaking the law.
@@djangoropa9860 "That time of night"? You mean 9pm? That could still be considered evening, not night. This "retribution" is a _huge_ overreaction.
Story 2: Points for self-awareness I guess, but what she really needs to do is swallow her pride and apologize to her neighbor. Or at least find out what's really going on.
11:09 - "... loud enough to make Helen Keller ask them to STFU." I've got to remembe that one!
One can swap the name to Beethoven if their taste is in music.
Girl couldn't hear but vibrations certainly would keep her awake at night. It's why she preferred the country.
Story 2: either OPs neighbors are BEYOND petty and just assholes or she's leaving a hell of a lot out of her story. Loud music at 9pm and giving them dirty looks for letting their cows onto her property does not, by any stretch of the imagination, warrant putting a pig shed next to someone's house.
People can be petty as hell but yeah - that's too much. Unless they always had plans to do something like that, including potentially buying OPs land for cheap, and it's just an excuse. So yeah, either OP is telling the truth but missed the neighbours long-term scheming or she did a lot worse.
You've got to love city folk who move to the countryside and learn a valuable lesson. I used to be a Sheriff's deputy. A family in the county called saying their neighbors were shooting. I went by and asked if they were shooting in a unsafe manner or what made them call us. They said, they are shooting. What part of that don't you understand? I said, well, if they are shooting in a safe manner, they are allowed to do that. They said shooting is always unsafe. I told them that wasn't true. Legally they can do that. They were shocked and said, if we knew about that we never would have moved here. I said, well, Good news, you're under no obligation to stay. They slammed the door.
I’ll say it once I’ll say it again people should have a license to people
For the pig story. I feel like I’ve heard one of these Redit stories from the Farmers prospective before where the music was on going late in the evening & that’s why they got pigs
Yeah that girl in the 2nd story with the pigs is straight up lying by hiding facts. This sounds almost exactly like a story my uncle tells me, but he’s the one that bought the pigs. It wasn’t because of some little tiffs here and there. The girl in high school was an absolute menace and was INSANELY spoiled. Her parents weren’t bad though, so idk how she got to be that way. 🤷🏻♂️
Story 1. Just proves again we have a mental health crisis in this country!
Story 2- I grew up in a farming town, and I can say for a fact that such pettiness from small-minded farming neighbors is not unexpected in the slightest. My grandfather made the mistake of trusting a survey he paid for to tell him his property bounds and planted crops accordingly. Turns out the survey was wrong, and my grandfather accidentally planted on trees on his land. 60 years later, the original neighbors son hated my dad, and he was grooming his step kids to hate me. Once our dogs got out and wandered onto his property and he decided the appropriate response was shooting them with buckshot. We also caught him sabotaging the trees that were in the contested area even after my Dad resurveyed the land and paid for it when asked. All this is to say is that OP didn't really do anything wrong and those farmers are just more small minded petty people that will take any offense and make it into a generational war if they have to. The only reason it won't affect me is I left my home town and have no intention of returning. The only consolation in letting them "win" by driving me away is that i know when my dad finally sells the farm the the neighbor won't be the buyer like he expected.
Eh, they may have overreacted, but she still sounds like she was being a jerk.
Didn't the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys start under similar circumstances?
Again, there's more to this than what's being said. Most people will go to great lengths to make themselves look good even when wrong so... don't be so judgemental.
I would intentionally made a worse afterwards they put a farm and not put a big fu sign facing them every single day in front of my yard pointing at their house have big parties until the noise ordinance come in be the biggest pain in the ass possible. Then show up every town meeting from when they want to have something done to their property and dispute it making them pay for lawyers to make the county pay for them.

Story #2 farmers can be extremely petty and covetous. My parents lived in rural Midwest next to one. That farmer would try to force people out, buy up their homes and then cause "fires" to level the property to save cost on demolition

Story 2: There is such a thing in law as a private nuisance. If you do something on yiur property that impacts my ability to enjoy my property, thats a private nuisance. An attorney should be consulted in this regard.
Just build a ventilation shed against the property line that vents back towards their farm. Install fans. It won't catch everything, but they'll be just as miserable as you
Pig farm issue: I would suggest building a wind breaker on your side of the property line and return to normal. They are astounding good at also blocking smells.
Story 3: You smell smoke after a blaring fire alarm, so you call maintenance, NOT emergency services? That's logical to you?
Dude it's called "laxing"
That's what happens when you constantly hear something that *should* tell you danger, but the danger never comes. So you can't take it seriously.
That in of itself is a danger, but that is sadly a natural reaction. "Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a good example
10:04 the second story, its zones for algaculture your land owners did not realize that animals do in fact stink. unless you're buying the land to rezone it or to raise farmer, you have now learned not to move thier. thats why its cheap land. for farmers to be WANTING to move thier.
*There
Story 1: Positive, Karen was concerned about stolen dog. Negative, Karen was a huge racist.
Story 2: As a rural resident, the city girl is an AH. Cows getting loose and early morning/ late night work is life. I was laughing about how she didn't consider pigs being a big deal, knowing what was going to happen...

If she is, the farmer is a bigger one - that is nasty pettiness of the first order.
@@keithprice475The farmer did nothing wrong. People like OP don't belong in the rurals.
Yeah, I call bullshit. Never heard anything about cows getting of their fields, and I grew up in a town that had 3-4 cow farms next to a pretty upper class neighbourhood. And I knew a lot of kids living there. Never was there any livestock where it shouldn’t be.
If you’re too cheap to build a good fence that’s on you.
@@The_real_ArovorI live in NY state and there are a lot of farms around. I've heard more than one report about horses getting out of a field and running or walking down the road. They put out reports so that motorists will be careful driving through that area until the horses are caught. I don't see why cows can't do the same thing.
Farmers don't invest in pigs over nothing
Yeah, definitely more going on there. I think OP was trying to make themself look better.
Yeah that's a lot of money and as the property doesn't sound that big they are also smelling pig and have to care for them. Costs are also higher with a smaller lot of pigs. So they spend what 30.000 at least because she had the music loud one night and didn't help get the cow? i think not.
They probbaly all complained about farm equiptment noises early in the morning, which is the time you have to use those.
@Iflie Exactly. She kind of glossed over it at the beginning when she said she had arguments with multiple neighbors and their kids, and she made a few complaints about the noise of farm equipment.
@@thalinororcbreaker2840 Yeah they have cows to feed and milk in the morning, they can't wait for her beauty sleep.
@@Iflie Exactly.
Yay Fluffy Time ❤️👏🏼👍🏼🫶🏻❤️
In 1st story she was wasting company time waiting around for the cops to arrive. I am glad I was not next on her delivery list.
Great video !! ❤
Story 2, do they have the proper permits for the pig farm?
Story 2: There's a section of law specifically about things people build specifically to piss off other people, which are called (stop snickering) "Malicious Erections". They should talk to a lawyer.
Story 2: "There is no way that the neighbour is this petty".
That's kinda disappointing coming from someone who reads so mucho of these stories. If anything, his behaviour is perfectly in line with what we've come to expect from Karens.
Yes, even the most diehard farmer can secretly be a little b*tch Karen.
How dare he keep farming in a rural area. He should shut it down for entitled city folks.😂😂😂😂
Story 2. As someone who has lived her whole life in the Midwest, surrounded by farms, you either assimilate or suffer the consequences. We have a certain way of life up here and we all stick together. Better just to go along with it than put up a fight, we will win.
Farmer story..you moved into a farming community, complained about them working in the morning, blasted music while they're trying to sleep, and you think they're in the wrong? Don't move to a farmers community if you're not ready for what comes with it, they wake up at the asscrack of dawn
HI DARKFLUFF!!! You're so so awesome!!! I love watching your videos while peacefully crocheting 😋
Story 2 at 9 o’clock farmers are usually sound asleep because of how early the wake up and work all day.
OP2 is leaving out a LOT of stuff she must have done to provide that retaliation.
Poor parents. OP is 18 and will be moving out any day. The parents, though, are stuck and unable to sell.
Story 2. If that’s what really happened, she is definitely not the Karen.
Sounds like they need to build a large outdoor sound system and blast rap music until the farmer come over angry then dial 911 and use 2a to solve the issue.
Thank you❤
PSA- at least in california, a house needs to be empty, completely unoccupied by any living person, for 3 months for squaters rights to apply
If you want to make it easier to fight against squatters at a secondary property or lets say your moms house while shes been in the hospital for 3 months, Bare Minimum, walk inside the building and take a picture with timestamps every couple months
I hope you had a good day Darkfluff and Stevie boy!
The pig farm one. I had a friend in high school that had this happen. They just bought one of those industrial size fans (you usually will see them in mechanic shops, they are huge) and put it facing the pig owner's house. The pigs were gone in a month and never came back...lol Their house also did not stink after this.
Story #3-Why didn’t they call 911 immediately when they smelled smoke? Or when the neighbor was possibly done? I am a little confused!
There are nuisance laws, contruction laws etc etc etc, was it legal to build the pig barn that close to the property line ?? was it build according to code (I am sure a pig barn should have ventilation, but what kinf and is it installed properly etc) The small you might not be able to do much about, but the sound I think you act upon still, as before and after a certain hour of the day, it can be considered noise polution etc etc. So I would look into all those things, never piss of someone who can be destructive to some pork.
The pig story. The farmer cut off his nose to spite his face. He also has to put up with the smell. Plus the extra work and expenses.
Having been a farmer, having had farmer neighbours And having had a few pigs, l struggle with this first story.
Most farmers live a decent distance away from each other. To be bothered by one’s neighbours music would require some sizable speakers.
Even in the country there are building codes on domestic and farm buildings.
Building a piggery on a boundary line without the correct ventilation systems doesn’t sound right.
To get the legal building permits takes months as all buildings have to meet those codes, and a notice of intent would have been issued to all the surrounding neighbours so they would have the right to contest the construction, long before the neighbours would be purchasing pigs. Being permitted to construct a piggery on a boundary line next to a domestic dwelling doesn’t make sense. Especially the numbers of pigs that constitute a commercial business. This issue would have gone straight to court.
I will conclude that pigs are really clean animals, unfortunately a lot of owners mistreat and poorly house their pigs so the poor animals end up living in their own waste. My pigs free roamed in very large paddocks. They had a small pond in which they could wallow, and they slept in clean dry sheds with clean fresh hay every night. I should add that it didn’t snow in winter where l lived so housing pigs was easier than if it had. And yes we had shit loads more farm animals which are too many to be included so the pigs were just a small part of daily chores.
There are ppl who will sue if someone tries to save them from committing suicide and even ppl who will sue if you save them from an accident of some sort and then they have permanent damage. As if the accident wasn't the cause 😒
In order to build a stable for pigs, it Must be at least 400 ft away from any residential boundry, vent away from any housing, and a building cannot go up without permits, a survey, and it cannot cause any disruptions to nearby homes.
So #2: Neighbors got pissed off because the girl told them to control their animal and they didn't like "her kind" (wonder if she had a different skin color) telling them what to do so decided to be asses about it. I grew up on a farm and the OP has nothing to apologize for, if anything the farmers should have apologized for their cow getting out and ruining the neighbors lawn. Animals get out but it is the owners duty to try to keep them contained and to keep them from damaging the property of others.
Bet the neighbors were hoping to buy the land (or had been using it when it was vacant) and are now pissed they don't have it.
As someone who lives in the country, country people would certainly be that petty as to put in a pig barn. My husband has talked about doing exactly what that farmer did just because we have had our own issues with neighbors.
Story 2: Sure OP was an asshole and should have apologized for how they handled to cow situation. Still 9pm is a reasonable time to still be making noise, talking from a town with farm experience. If it really bothered them the way hand to handle it was go out and ask to turn it down, no yelling. They went nuclear for petty revenge level. Everybody sucks but neighbor could go to amithedevil.
Obviously this is if op gave us all the information and didn't gloss over anything important.
Story 1: so if you want to know about the history of African Americans, bully breeds and racism: its pretty wild. The association of bully breeds being "bad" is suspected to be directly associated with the increase of ownership in the black community. (Cheap security9
Story 2: I dont think op is leaving much out, because like shes a teenager. How much could she have reasonable done to upset a grown ass man?
If I had to guess if this is legitimate farmer country and not rich people with a lot of land farmers: OP is a minority or is a woman not acting conservatively. Especially with all that bit about her attitude, she probably wears crop tops or something that dude's pissed that she's tempting him.
Small towns and small communities are just not friendly.
Story 2: Everyone is assuming that OP is leaving details out, but you can't really assume that. Based on the information given, OP and their family moved to a rural neighborhood and did little more than exist next to farmers who decided to hate their new neighbors because they didn't fit in. Farmers and country folk are more than capable of being petty and vindictive over small slights just like anyone else, and assuming OP left things out because it doesn't make sense to you in unfair. I'm not saying there's no chance she didn't leave something out, but we can't assume she did based on our own values
Also it seems like an awful big thing to take on just because OP was rude. The triggering incident seemed to be not helping capture the cow, which as I said above, is unrealistic on the farmer's part to expect someone who has never been around cows to help get one back to their property. I like cows but I would be very hesitant to approach one that didn't know me.
No, that pig story is so common it's a crime here.
When I moved here the clown who owns the field next to me decided he could make some quick cash by trying a similar tactic, he spread several container trucks of blood on his land.
So my Maltese must be stolen because people like me shouldn't have him!!!😂😂 I also have a rottie lol
I would not have report her until she said, your kind only have rottweilers or pitbulls.
