Woman Refused To Purchase An 80-Item List For Her Ungrateful Neighbor, Who Is Always Demanding Things From Her

Some neighbors borrow a cup of sugar, and some turn every favor into a standing order. In this Reddit story, one woman says her next-door neighbor kept handing over bigger and bigger grocery lists, then acted offended when the help stopped.

The poster, u/Tiny-Charity, says she is a single working mother living in a rented home near a married couple. At first, she helped the stay-at-home wife with a few Thanksgiving items, but the requests kept growing, and the gratitude never seemed to come with any repayment.

By the time the list ballooned to 80 items, the situation had gone from neighborly to exhausting. Here's the full story. Viki Mohamad (not the actual photo)

The author said she couldn’t pull through for her only to have her phone beep with another list of things that she needed. This neighbor actually banged on the author’s door and confronted her face-to-face, calling the author a jerk.

All this for not being able to render help to your 401(k) neighbors when you're receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Yes, the neighbor has been "accidentally" going through her mail (you can imagine the breach of privacy).

Here is her story:

If there's one general truth that is acknowledged by all, it is that you can never tell what sort of neighbor you'll end up living next to. To twist things around a little, your neighbors can't tell what type of neighbor you’ll be to them; only time will tell.

The fact remains that when you have good neighbors, you’ll enjoy your stay in that neighborhood; when they just want to leech off of you, it’s a different ball game altogether. Here's what other redditors had to say:

That demand-and-refusal energy is similar to the neighbor drama over refusing to feed a betta fish.

An outrageous behaviour

It is a federal crime to open someone's mail

Ignoring her is the best solution

It is vital to create boundaries and respect each other’s privacy, especially if you’re living in close proximity to others. It sounds pleasant, but when you're maneuvered into feeling like an inferior neighbor for something you were somewhat forced into, that is precarious.

And that is what the mighty "Am I an A**hole" subreddit is here to tackle.

May this kind of entitlement stay far away from your front door.

Wait until you see the friend who quietly added luxury items to the grocery bill and got called a jerk.
