Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick create a "Good Neighbors Club" and they make Squidward president. Squidward wants to relax, so he tells SpongeBob and Patrick to paint all the trees in the neighborhood polka dots. SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally get paint on Squidward's face, and he runs outside where a passing car takes Squidward to the hospital, thinking he is sick. Later, he comes home and finds out that SpongeBob and Patrick took his Sunday Pedicure and foot massage.

When Squidward wants his feet rubbed, the hour is up. He gets mad and kicks them out of his house. He sees an ad in the newspaper for a Security System. He gets it and turns it on. SpongeBob and Patrick bring Squidward a cake, and Squidward says that SpongeBob and Patrick are threats, but the machine says "No Threat Detected." Squidward punches the machine, and the machine says Squidward is a threat. Squidward was kicked out of his house, and his house starts to destroy the town. SpongeBob and Patrick turn the security system off, and Squidward's House falls on him. The episode ends with Squidward looking crazy. However, what happens? In order to pay off the damages done to Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward have to do community service every Sunday for the rest of their lives. Ironically, they do not have to in the rest of the episodes.
