Sometimes, it’s not about getting revenge or compensation; it’s about respect and decency, something one California resident believes his neighbor lacks. Under the username UncleBourbonMetroGuy, the resident posted to r/mildlyinfuriating, sharing photos of what he believes is evidence that his Coast Guard neighbor has been intentionally damaging his vehicle. Whether it’s done maliciously or not is still up in the air, but according to Uncle Bourbon, one thing is certain: “that’s just rude.”
Living in off-post military housing, Uncle Bourbon isn’t pleased that a service member would be responsible for denting up his 2005 GMC Yukon Denali. While it’s an older car that probably has seen it’s better days, OP stresses that it’s not about the damage. “It’s the fact that people are showing a blatant disregard for others’ belongings,” he wrote.
The drama started when Uncle Bourbon noticed his car was accumulating more scratches and dents on the side of his GMC. Even when OP was outside, he spotted the neighbor hitting his car in front of him, but even then he doubted someone would be so boldly inconsiderate. “Nonetheless, I have videos of him slamming that sucker into my vehicle and dragging his bag against the side of it,” Uncle Bourbon remarked.
Reddit Was Out for Blood Over the Neighbor’s Unacceptable Behavior
The top comment perhaps took things a little too far, though thousands gave it an upvote: “So you have some rational ideas here. However, he’s disrespecting you. You have to go sleep with his wife.” Another person claimed these sorts of people do it on purpose. “The force they use is insane,” they said. “Some people do it and then look at you, as if they want to start a confrontation…”
There was no doubt in the comments that the Coast Guard neighbor wasn’t aware he was bashing up the GMC. “File a police report. No way he doesn’t know he’s doing it,” suggested a Redditor.
Uncle Bourbon said he’s considering filing an insurance claim against his neighbor, not for the money, but to teach him a lesson. “It’s the principal, dude repeatedly keeps bouncing his door off my door,” he wrote. In response to the countless commenters urging him to essentially mess with the neighbor’s livelihood or career, Uncle Bourbon concluded calmly with the explanation: “The post is for people’s entertainment, not to fix my issue lmao.”
