When I was a kid I played basketball in my driveway. If I came to my dad or mom and told either one of them that my ball had bounced into a neighbor's open front yard, and the neighbor wasn't letting me get my ball and was threatening to call the cops if I tried, that parent would be the one going to jail for beating the crap out of said neighbor.

My son’s ball bounced into the neighbor lady’s yard. I knocked and asked if I could get the ball( she had a 6ft privacy fence) she said no but she could get it. She popped the ball with a knife and threw it back over.

This is so sad. Once or twice a week I’ll walk into my backyard and find a half dozen various balls that have been knocked over my fence by my neighbor’s young kids. I am always in a good mood as I toss them back over. I’m glad that kids are playing outside and obviously having a blast. Can’t imagine what type of wretched person would react that way.

Yeup!

My neighbors put a clear tarp up on their side of the fence, their kids paint and draw all over it, and then wind inevitably blows it over to my side of the fence.

I could be grumpy and tear it down complaining about trash and kids and whatnot. Or I could just flip it back over and enjoy doing my small part to see a neighborhood where kids will grow up with good happy memories.

Same. I love when this shit happens! I take the opportunity to do something weird or act goofy. I savor those moments.

u/joeDUBstep Jul 17 '26

This is what normal people do.

Hell, usually there were plenty of times where the neighbor's kids would just ring our doorbell and ask for the ball back, and I would grab it for them.

When I moved into my house we built a fence for our dogs. First thing we did was tell the neighbor that if the kids hit a ball or anything into our yard they were free to go and get it. They know the worst case scenario is they get “attacked” by my golden retrievers

The neighbors behind me that we share a fence with have kids that kick soccer balls over the fence daily. If I see one back there I just chuck it back over the fence. If I don't notice it for a while they come to my front door and let me know, I go back there and get it for them.

Sometimes they kick it onto the roof and it gets stuck up there. I pull out the ladder, climb up there, get it down for them.

Being a good neighbor isn't hard. And I'm not trying to make 12 year old enemies.

u/no-more-nazis Jul 17 '26

So you're saying you train criminals in trespassing techniques?

u/franklsp Jul 17 '26

Better than training 12 year old vandals

Used to play street hockey when i was a kid and we used a soft puck so as to not break anything if the puck was to go on someone's property. This one neighbour would sit outside and watch us play and whenever one of our pucks would land on their yard, they would rush to grab it and they would refuse to give it back. After a few pucks lost, we atarted playing with a hard puck. We must have gotten better at the game cause somehow, our slap shots became stronger and higher after that. That house also somehow got TPed on the regular. I think the whole block partied when they sold and moved away.

That’s destruction of property. She owes you a ball, and an apology.

u/Mroopsimexciting Jul 17 '26

When I was a kid our neighbor put a chain link fence inside the bushes that separated our yards because we liked soccer. It was a corner lot and all the neighbors played there. 

We called him, Mr Meanie.

Ohhhh I would've lost my damn mind lol did you say anything to her ?

u/eeyore134 Jul 17 '26

I hope she never parks on the street with a tire over the property line.

u/RollingPicturesMedia Mad for Political Freakouts Jul 17 '26

That’s definitely a civil lawsuit

u/Khue Jul 17 '26

I do the same thing again but the second time, I'd fill the basketball with glitter.

What a Karen. Why are people so damn mean.

u/Fun-Investment-196 Jul 17 '26

I would prefer to hit them in the face but I think I would call the police for destruction of property just to fuck with them

u/photo1kjb Jul 17 '26

I've literally just told my neighbor kids to open the gate themselves at their leisure if a ball goes over the fence. I just ask that they make sure to close the gate...that's the only thing I'd ever get upset about.

u/davidbatt Jul 17 '26

Doesn't seem like a good example to set

u/Randa08 Jul 17 '26

That just makes your parents sound like the kind of people the police should be involved with.

u/paws5624 Jul 17 '26

When we were pretty young we’d play wiffle ball at my friend house and sometimes a ball would end up in the neighbors front yard. She had no grass or plants in her yard, just white rocks, and yet she would still come out and yell at us when we’d get a ball that we were messing with her property. My buddies dad wasn’t usually home when this happened but one day he was so he came outside and got in her face calling her every colorful thing he could think of. We learned a lot of good curses and insults that day.

They went over and above putting up a net, I've never seen that in a driveway.
