That is nothing. I had a business trip to a customer installation. I couldn't find their phone number on the internet so I called their HQ. The customer service tried to help me, but couldn't find the dept in their system, nor any of the local employees in the registry. "Are you sure this is ours?" "Well, if this plant worth over $100 000 000 ain't yours, can I just claim it? I'll even take down your logos for free and send to you...."
There are actually two "spite houses" I know of involving my rich sister. One is not exactly a house but a warehouse next to my uncle's house. The two are bitter enemies so when my uncle had his illegally gotten house built beside our family's warehouse, my sister added a second floor to it to block the view on the side. Also, she used the warehouse as a storehouse for expired/expiring goods so that mice, rats and cockroaches lived there in huge numbers and even migrate into my uncle's house. The other spite house was already built between a business rival's house and her property. You see, the rival has a rectangular property next to her corner store. In that lot lives a poor family in their rectangular house. Through some cunning, she was able to buy the other half of the lot (the driveway/parking lot), leaving the rectangular house in between her two properties. She was so confident that no one will be interested in buying the skinny rectangular lot in the middle of her properties that she decided to wait until the poor family decides to sell their property at a much lower price. But she crossed paths with my sister and got her mad enough to seek revenge for it. Upon hearing the predicament of the poor family, she sent an intermediary and offered to buy their lot for a princely sum. The poor family quickly and gleefully agreed to the offer, thankful to be given the chance to give a big eff-you to the neighbor who's been harassing them for years. Before their hated neighbor got wind of it, the property was already sold to my sister. My sister quickly put up the property for a business lease and awarded it to a noisy maker of steel and iron grills. The smoke and noise it produces annoy the hell out of its neighboring establishment to this day.
I sorta live in a Spite house. The former owners of my house painted it this really bright blue color and it stands out from all the other homes on the street.. the thing is I would of been happy to paint the home until I met my neighbors..they are lawyers from New York and come down to my area like 1 month out of the whole year and every time they show up they act as if they own the whole neighborhood writing loads of complaints to the HOA with claims that someone's home is not in compliance ect ect, threatening lawsuits and so fourth..so when I discovered that the reason the previous owner of this home did so in spite of these people I felt I needed to carry this legacy.. (I have also spoken with our HOA and the thing is this bright blue color is considered an appropriate color 😉)
A slight update, other people in my neighborhood decided that in spite of the demands from these lawyers they decided to paint their homes fun beach colors, some going with the same shade of blue as mine, others a green..so now the only house on the block out of color scene is the lawyers house being a dark gloomy grey

They always do, it's there way of feeling superior. And making sure you never have a good relationship after. Which is a form of mental abuse and torture.

The judge ordered us (age 10-14) to repaint the whole outside of the house. The just did not specify color or pattern. We obeyed the judge's order to the T. The house spent over a decade with dozens of pink and purple cartoon puppies with a yellow background all over it. We sent photos to the judge who wrote back informing us that we had fulfilled the terms of the court order along with a photo of himself with his own pet puppy, a yellow lab.
my grandfather did something similar to this in Seattle. He had planned on biulding a long pier that widened to make a helipad. Due to an ordinance, his neighbor was able to get the city to deny the building permits. so instead my grandfater simply had large trees planted to block his neighbors view of the water. he spent thousands on those trees. No clue how much to actually had the brought and planted just to block his neighbors view.
@Candice Elizabeth but people like that make one heck of a story😂. I mean if you are a b**ch about something some one better put you in your place. I am not trying to be mean just saying, sorry if I offended you😣.
Scary stuff. I've decided that if anyone spoiled my property on purpose, I would move out and donate it to the homeless, or make it a half way house for criminals who have done time.
I see no issue with being vindictive, as long as you cause no physical harm. I nurture each and everyone of my grudges with a lot of care and tenderness. It makes life very interesting.😎😎😎
mmmm I don't know how badly you nurse these grudges. I get not forgiving someone and not associating with them. But nursing a grudge sounds much more deliberate and focused negative energy. Grudges aren't healthy.
These days the government would waste resources to get involved in people’s petty fights and tell them what they can or can not do with their private property.
One time I built a large wooden house on a hill in Minecraft and my friend's sister burned it to build her own house. She loved the way the nearby mountain looked. I built a fortress on and in that mountain, and when she told my friend what happened he told his mom and she grounded her for terrorism. LOL Edit: I made this up stop liking this
Sounds like my spiteful days of playing The Sims 2 and 3. For some reason, the members of this weird old family in the town were very rude to my characters. Like they would come in my house and help themselves to whatever and laugh at their misfortunes (e.g.: when a character was learning to invent/upgrade things and accidentally electrocuted themselves or were sculpting and the whole block they'd painstakingly chiseled burst into pieces and they had to start again from scratch). So I bought their home (or maybe just moved in while "merging" the families...it's been a really long time so I don't remember exactly) and then I sent one into a room where I put something to block the door and they died of starvation after peeing on the floor/in their pants. Another was in a pool and I deleted the ladder (this was a version in which a ladder was required to exit the pool) and they swam until exhaustion took over and they died. I want to say there was another family member whom I put in a small building separate from the actual house and it contained only a couple of fireplaces and rugs directly in front of the fireplaces (a fire hazard). I then removed the door and when the rugs caught fire they couldn't escape. I was a kid/teenager though and we all did weird things at that age. 🤷🏻♀️
4:17 As a house painter, my first thought was: How on Earth do they maintain the sides that are 12 inches apart? I’m sure it didn’t take long before moisture trapped in there started to rot the siding and trim on both houses. How would you do repairs and paint in there?
what do you mean? There is nothing about the stories that say the revenge wasn't served "cold," which of coursed means after time has passed and is less hot-headed---usually more calculated and masterful. These houses are all the ultimate cold revenge!
I have driven by the Montlake house many times, we know it as the "Spite House". We were told that it had something to do with zoning, but the neighbor theory works. In my neighborhood, there is a corner that had several small houses in a row, then a slightly bigger house on the corner, then around the corner a tiny ranch with NO yard but a strip in back and front. The last of the row had to be razed as it was beyond repair. Turns out, it had a huge lot behind the others, with a small panhandle going to the front. I wished I could buy it and give it to each of the other 5 so everybody could have a decent size yard. But it was sold and a nice large house was built using mostly the back space so now nobody has much yard. The bizarre thing is why was it all zoned like that in the first place? The corner house is from the 20's or 30's. The 4 in a row look like post-war prefab kits. (They're super cute) The ranch around the corner is from the 50's or 60's or maybe later.
@Suki Yaki I try. Next door neighbor fined twice for his loud dog. Here it is "stay home" orders, & the jerk has left to leave his dog barking out the open front room window the whole time they are gone. People can only take so much stupidness. He also goes around & trashes me, talking to all the nearby neighbors. A real loser.
In my small town, a man owns a nice house on a hill across the street from a pretty lake. Someone wanted to buy the land directly in front of the lake, but the man in the nice house petitioned and fought to not allow a residential building to ruin the view and some other bullsh*t his lawyers worked up. (I don’t really know much about the case) He won, and the guy wasn’t allowed to build his house there. He still bought the land, though, and found a loophole that allowed him to put a business on the land. He built really ugly storage containers for a self-storage facility so he could actually ruin the view. They’ve been there for about 15 years now!
My husband dreamed up a new paint colour and combo for our house in Florida, which the local paint store was not suppose to mix for anyone else. Naturally, they did and a year later, four houses on that short street looked just like ours. He painted our house black for revenge. It certainly upset the neighbous. We had quite a lot of parties back in the late 60's and 70's, we never had a problem with friends finding our house, for sure. There was only five houses there.That is a true story.
The town is Alameda. Not Almeida. It’s on the San Francisco Bay, west of Oakland, wast Of San Francisco. I know the spite house well, Alameda is my Home town, it’s an Alameda Legend.
Siblings fight : -1st sibling : FU im going to make a large house and get most of the land our father left us ! -2nd sibling : hold my architect and construction workers
Born & raised in nearby town to the "Pink" house. It is still wrapped in controversy. Due to it's poor condition, located in a marsh and what was not mentioned in the video, it is at the end of the runway of a local municipal airport there was a movement to tear it down. Since it is a landmark there has been a big local $ drive to save it. It's still there in tough shape. It's on the only road out to the island. Kind of blew my mind to see it on here.
I bet the entire thing balances on pure rot. Stick someone in there can barely fit through the door and it'll cause the entire thing to collapse in on itself. Marshland is absolutely terrible to build on.
I used to live on Plum Island for a few months (not long enough to get the story). I could never figure out why that thing was way out there... and now I know... LOL.
My husbands ex wife wanted to take everything from him even though he said she could keep half the house and everything in it. He represented himself and wrote all the letters to her solicitor. (Using online solicitors letters) he never paid a penny on legal anything. He dragged out the divorce proceeding so she had to keep paying for the letters sent. (£40 a letter and he had sent around 100 letters which her solicitor had to reply to. She asked for his harley but he had given it to a friend to look after. When it all went to court they had to sell the house and split the money and she came off with practically nothing and what she had was gone in no time.
I am surprised the city didn't just build a road anyway like many of the ones that followed. Thanks to eminent domain no one really owns any property but the government.
Dayton mansion, in Minnesota, is another interesting spite story. From what I remember, the house was built out of spite, across the river from his ex wife.
@Peter Evans typical colonizer antics. Personalizing someone else's culture & language, just to meet their own greedy, insignificant, egotistical needs.
4:12 For a 2-storey basement with a pool, a 3-storey hole needed to be dug. The neighbors better hope their houses were properly shored during the project.
Ba’sa means finger, depending on context it can mean “finger in ass” or “finger in face” “Finger in face” meaning the act of flipping someone off which I guess can be seen as “fuck you.” If you look it up all you get is info about this house for some reason though.
My family had some legal issues with the people we bought our property from 15 years prior. They claimed that they still owned the waterfront (seeing as we live on a river) and after going through court, their case was denied because the local government owned the land. To get revenge, my dad hung a 15 foot long sign that said, “WATERFRONT” for upwards of 3 months, right where anyone driving by on the main road in town would see.
Kavanagh was an Irish descendant, her ancestors come from roughly 1846 from Ireland. The name Kavanagh is an Irish surname. Nobody needed to know this but it's here anyway
I know mine but most just the first two houses in each direction and those across the street. The rest I just know by name from the HOA documents since I am the president.
I have a strong feeling the wife was not well taken care and she felt used for her to demand a house just like the one she was coming from to be built for her! However, she had a simple and a small mind else, she would have specified where she wanted the house. I have a strong feeling she was a simple woman who silently bore all dished to her until she could take no more.

When I was 7 we got chickens we kept them in our yard and cleaned up after them. But our neighbor Ms. Cherrie ( who was a TOTAL Karen) reported us to the HOA and we had to go to court all because of chickens. So my 7 yr old brain got revenge. I got her repoed to our neighbor who I actually liked was a lawyer and I took HER to court and she lost. To a 7 year old 🤣😂
That was very entertaining I must say. It was so hilarious and shocking at the same time. Amazing how far and petty people would go to piss someone off for sweet revenge!
Seriously what is wrong with people? If we would put the amount of hate energy we use into being kind, everyone would be hugely better off. ESPECIALLY THE PREVIOUS SPITEFUL ONES. .
haha sometimes people just need those pettiness to move on. You can't really tell since it is not yours nor your business nor your opinion that matters. In the end of the day those spiteful men/women got what they wanted and moved on. So... Being good is very good of course but hey, not all circumstances fit with your opinion. Sometimes letting your neighbor feel that you hate picking their pet's shit on your lawn feels good.

Due to an ordinance, his neighbor was able to get the city to deny the building permits. so instead my grandfater simply had large trees planted to block his neighbors view of the water. he spent thousands on those trees. No clue how much to actually had the brought and planted just to block his neighbors view.
So He Can Laugh At The Neighbor Trying See And Say Money Can Grow On Trees🌲🌲🌲🌲$$$$🏡🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😁

Scary stuff. I've decided that if anyone spoiled my property on purpose, I would move out and donate it to the homeless, or make it a half way house for criminals who have done time.
I see no issue with being vindictive, as long as you cause no physical harm. I nurture each and everyone of my grudges with a lot of care and tenderness. It makes life very interesting.😎😎😎

mmmm I don't know how badly you nurse these grudges. I get not forgiving someone and not associating with them. But nursing a grudge sounds much more deliberate and focused negative energy. Grudges aren't healthy.

Love it. I have always fully subscribed to the old adage, "Don't get mad, get even".
These days the government would waste resources to get involved in people’s petty fights and tell them what they can or can not do with their private property.
One time I built a large wooden house on a hill in Minecraft and my friend's sister burned it to build her own house. She loved the way the nearby mountain looked. I built a fortress on and in that mountain, and when she told my friend what happened he told his mom and she grounded her for terrorism. LOL

Sounds like my spiteful days of playing The Sims 2 and 3. For some reason, the members of this weird old family in the town were very rude to my characters. Like they would come in my house and help themselves to whatever and laugh at their misfortunes (e.g.: when a character was learning to invent/upgrade things and accidentally electrocuted themselves or were sculpting and the whole block they'd painstakingly chiseled burst into pieces and they had to start again from scratch). So I bought their home (or maybe just moved in while "merging" the families...it's been a really long time so I don't remember exactly) and then I sent one into a room where I put something to block the door and they died of starvation after peeing on the floor/in their pants. Another was in a pool and I deleted the ladder (this was a version in which a ladder was required to exit the pool) and they swam until exhaustion took over and they died. I want to say there was another family member whom I put in a small building separate from the actual house and it contained only a couple of fireplaces and rugs directly in front of the fireplaces (a fire hazard). I then removed the door and when the rugs caught fire they couldn't escape. I was a kid/teenager though and we all did weird things at that age. 🤷🏻♀️

4:17 As a house painter, my first thought was: How on Earth do they maintain the sides that are 12 inches apart? I’m sure it didn’t take long before moisture trapped in there started to rot the siding and trim on both houses. How would you do repairs and paint in there?

Obviously, they never heard the saying “Revenge is a dish best served COLD”
I think it is best served hot and spicy
@Anthony Marquez when they say cold they mean unexpected. But I’ll serve my revenge hot and spicy any day.
what do you mean? There is nothing about the stories that say the revenge wasn't served "cold," which of coursed means after time has passed and is less hot-headed---usually more calculated and masterful. These houses are all the ultimate cold revenge!

I have driven by the Montlake house many times, we know it as the "Spite House". We were told that it had something to do with zoning, but the neighbor theory works. In my neighborhood, there is a corner that had several small houses in a row, then a slightly bigger house on the corner, then around the corner a tiny ranch with NO yard but a strip in back and front. The last of the row had to be razed as it was beyond repair. Turns out, it had a huge lot behind the others, with a small panhandle going to the front. I wished I could buy it and give it to each of the other 5 so everybody could have a decent size yard. But it was sold and a nice large house was built using mostly the back space so now nobody has much yard. The bizarre thing is why was it all zoned like that in the first place? The corner house is from the 20's or 30's. The 4 in a row look like post-war prefab kits. (They're super cute) The ranch around the corner is from the 50's or 60's or maybe later.
"It was built entirely out of spite"
😂😂😂
Moral: Be nice to your neighbors.
@Suki Yaki I try. Next door neighbor fined twice for his loud dog. Here it is "stay home" orders, & the jerk has left to leave his dog barking out the open front room window the whole time they are gone. People can only take so much stupidness.
He also goes around & trashes me, talking to all the nearby neighbors. A real loser.

A lot of houses in sf look like revenge housing
In my small town, a man owns a nice house on a hill across the street from a pretty lake. Someone wanted to buy the land directly in front of the lake, but the man in the nice house petitioned and fought to not allow a residential building to ruin the view and some other bullsh*t his lawyers worked up. (I don’t really know much about the case) He won, and the guy wasn’t allowed to build his house there. He still bought the land, though, and found a loophole that allowed him to put a business on the land. He built really ugly storage containers for a self-storage facility so he could actually ruin the view. They’ve been there for about 15 years now!
My husband dreamed up a new paint colour and combo for our house in Florida, which the local paint store was not suppose to mix for anyone else. Naturally, they did and a year later, four houses on that short street looked just like ours. He painted our house black for revenge. It certainly upset the neighbous. We had quite a lot of parties back in the late 60's and 70's, we never had a problem with friends finding our house, for sure. There was only five houses there.That is a true story.

Born & raised in nearby town to the "Pink" house. It is still wrapped in controversy. Due to it's poor condition, located in a marsh and what was not mentioned in the video, it is at the end of the runway of a local municipal airport there was a movement to tear it down. Since it is a landmark there has been a big local $ drive to save it. It's still there in tough shape. It's on the only road out to the island. Kind of blew my mind to see it on here.
I bet the entire thing balances on pure rot. Stick someone in there can barely fit through the door and it'll cause the entire thing to collapse in on itself.
Marshland is absolutely terrible to build on.
I used to live on Plum Island for a few months (not long enough to get the story).
I could never figure out why that thing was way out there... and now I know... LOL.
My husbands ex wife wanted to take everything from him even though he said she could keep half the house and everything in it. He represented himself and wrote all the letters to her solicitor. (Using online solicitors letters) he never paid a penny on legal anything. He dragged out the divorce proceeding so she had to keep paying for the letters sent. (£40 a letter and he had sent around 100 letters which her solicitor had to reply to. She asked for his harley but he had given it to a friend to look after. When it all went to court they had to sell the house and split the money and she came off with practically nothing and what she had was gone in no time.

The Ba'sa means "the middle finger", not a grudge
It actually means "The fuck" as in the noun version of "fuck you"
Well which is it?!
Ba’sa means finger, depending on context it can mean “finger in ass” or “finger in face”
“Finger in face” meaning the act of flipping someone off which I guess can be seen as “fuck you.”
If you look it up all you get is info about this house for some reason though.
The name Mainwaring is actually pronounced Mannering!
I never knew that
4:35 thats a bad idea in case one of them catch on fire then your both out a house
I wonder if "The Grudge" is even still standing after the port explosion mishap...
Due to it's shape it probably collapsed
My family had some legal issues with the people we bought our property from 15 years prior. They claimed that they still owned the waterfront (seeing as we live on a river) and after going through court, their case was denied because the local government owned the land. To get revenge, my dad hung a 15 foot long sign that said, “WATERFRONT” for upwards of 3 months, right where anyone driving by on the main road in town would see.

When I was 7 we got chickens we kept them in our yard and cleaned up after them. But our neighbor Ms. Cherrie ( who was a TOTAL Karen) reported us to the HOA and we had to go to court all because of chickens. So my 7 yr old brain got revenge. I got her repoed to our neighbor who I actually liked was a lawyer and I took HER to court and she lost. To a 7 year old 🤣😂

haha sometimes people just need those pettiness to move on. You can't really tell since it is not yours nor your business nor your opinion that matters. In the end of the day those spiteful men/women got what they wanted and moved on. So... Being good is very good of course but hey, not all circumstances fit with your opinion. Sometimes letting your neighbor feel that you hate picking their pet's shit on your lawn feels good.
