You don't really get to choose your neighbors. All you can do is try your best to be a good one and hope they will, too. Unless they’re acting like they’re the only residents in the neighborhood. Then, you have probable cause for retaliation.
Redditor u/Robwaudby made a post on the platform, asking, “What’s the worst thing you have ever done to an annoying neighbor?” And people immediately started replying with their stories—as if they were just waiting for someone to confess to.
From destroying lawns with bouillon cubes to filling locks with superglue, here are some of the most memorable stories of revenge on neighbors from the more than 6,000 comments the post has received.

Hope The Dog Wasn’t Punished…
My wife and I had a neighbor who hated us because their family friends who went through a divorce lived there before us, and we bought the house. They were mean to my wife, parked across our driveway when she was about to go to work, threw pieces of wood over our fence, and let their dog cr*p on our lawn without picking it up. I tried talking to them a couple times and was promptly told to f-off. The husband used to brag about his lawn to everyone, so the next time it rained, I threw an entire box of bouillon cubes into their backyard and let the rain melt them into the grass. Their dog absolutely destroyed their yard looking for the smell, and I would make sure to comment on it every chance I got.

My mom bought a house from a family going through a divorce. It had sat on the market for a while, and the family was thrilled when my mom bought it. The house was full of bad memories for them, and they needed space and a fresh start. The house was good for us, and we were happy to live there. For us and the previous owners, it was a positive experience all around. People and their attitudes about divorce can be funny.
Mewton’s Third Paw 4 years ago
It’s impossible to understand the logic of them hating the new neighbors for being new. Like they are so stupid their gross brains can’t comprehend that it isn’t the new family’s fault. And these kind of idiots are so common. So many people are exactly this dumb or worse. They are truly throwaway / trash. Not for being asśholes. For being profoundly stupid.

In the late winter/early spring I sprinkled several packets of cabbage seeds on my soon-to-be ex-brother in law's lawn. They took root nicely and this guy had to rip his entire lawn up as the cabbages grew and had to re-sod the lawn. I assure you, it was only a small amount of what he deserved.

"neighbor hated us because their family friends who went through a divorce lived there before us, and we bought the house". What kind of mental reason is that?
u/Robwaudby usually scrolls through Reddit to see what funny questions people have come up with. This time, however, he was doing the asking. “I was sitting on my sofa watching TV, and like most people, I have an annoying neighbor,” the Redditor told Bored Panda. “She thinks she’s the queen of the street.”
“I thought to myself, ‘I wonder how many stories people have about annoying neighbors?’ That’s when the question came together; I wanted to know how far people go to get back at them.”
u/Robwaudby didn’t expect the post to get 16k upvotes or 6k comments. “Some people are really willing to fight back at an annoying neighbor and really go extreme on them,” the OP said.
“[But I] think most people have good and bad neighbors. Some of the reasons for falling out with them tend to be garden fence-related or simply loud music, something along these lines.”

300+ Pound Boulder
My house is right on the corner of an area where the road turns into a T, I had issues with people cutting the corner and driving through my yard( one day someone damn near hit my dog) I went and bought a Boulder probably 300 or 400 pounds and put right on the corner. Come winter and we had a bad snowstorm. Someone was coming through in a lifted dodge and hit the Boulder going about 20 and totaled the truck. Since then though I’ve had 0 issues with people.

Same. In New England, sidewalks and curbs are rare in a lot of places, so a lot of people put concrete walls or planters on the corner of their lots to protect their lawns and prevent people from driving into their house. I've seen a house that sat on the corner of a 4 way stop intersection that was destroyed by someone driving into their house.

Even though it's centered and 4 feet between each drive and I've two refection poles along side it, folks still try to cut the corner. I've had to roll it back to it's original position a lot, it's taken out many an oil pan over the years.

12 Hour Music Festival
I had a terrible work schedule and had to wake up at 2:30 to be at work by 4. My downstairs neighbors would blare loud music at all hours of the night, and I could feel the bass through my mattress. I went downstairs and politely asked them to turn it down, and they seemed to kindly agree. As soon as I got back in bed, they turned it up even louder and kept it going until about 1:30. Before I left for work at 3:30, I turned over my amplifier so the speaker was facing the floor, turned the volume up, and set my guitar on top of it. I left for my 12-hour shift, and the feedback was still screaming when I came home. The neighbors never blared their music again.

Love this! When I was in the Army Band, had the same problem. Every jerk in the barracks had a big stereo from those 'Rent To Own' joints. We worked odd hours and always asked if guys would turn down their music- they never would. SO... one day, we brought a giant speaker and amp from the band, put it in my room, hooked up an old 8 track player, stuck in a John Denver tape, cranked it up and left for work for the day. Got back to the barracks and somebody and broken into our room, trashed the speaker and amp and the rest of our room.....Big mistake. The Speaker and amp were US Army equipment. Needless to say, our 1st Sergeant started kicking ass and taking names. Never had a problem with loud music in the barracks ever again....

I had a downstairs neighbor who played her music VERY loudly - one time. I turned my huge speakers to the floor and put on my favorite bagpipe music. I could practically see question marks floating around. "What IS that?!" When her music cut out, I turned off mine. She got the message pretty quickly, lol!

We stayed in a hotel once when I was a kid, and a basketball team stayed on the same floor . They yelled, screamed. laughed, and bounced a basketball against the walls and doors of the hallway until about 2:00 in the morning. Despite complaints to the front desk from my father, they would not stop. To get revenge, he started calling their rooms repeatedly around 5 a.m. and did this for at least an hour.

There was a guy in a St Louis complex a few decades ago with the same problem- young people playing screaming rock at top volume in the middle of the night. He mounted speakers on the ceiling, and waited till he was sure they were in bed. Then he turned on a recording that said "we are the bugs. We are crawling all over your bed. This is our place. We survived the bomb and we'll survive you. Get out get out get out......" The youngsters never played loud music over him again and were very courteous to him when they saw him in the lobby, addressing him as "sir" and "Mr. G...."

Lights Out
Friend had a neighbor who put in a very bright yard light that was pointed at her bedroom window. After a negative interaction when asking neighbor to re aim or dim the light or such, cue theatre stagehands. She put up a parabolic mirror pointed directly at dudes bedroom, used an old projector dowser, and an old lighting board to program a chase sequence that was hours long and repeated. End result was a beam of randomly blinking light that was aimed at neighbors bedroom window. When he complained she let him know that it was his light source and all he had to do was turn off his yard light.

We found a house (that fortunately we were only renting) that had no visible neighbors. So what happened? The guy just over the hill behind us -- still at least 100 yards away -- built a big dog kennel and filled it with loudly barking dogs! They barked day and night, and since we were all out in the country, we couldn't even protest. We ended up moving. Even what seems to be the perfect house isn't always!

I'm having a harder time appreciating this. I, more than most people, like to keep the outside lights off at night (and find myself irritated by others' lights) - but just this summer (2021) I've had somebody stealing the garden flags out of our front yard ("Hate has no home here", "science is real", "love always wins" - they really like stealing the rainbow lgbtq+ "love" one). I put up a sign explaining that every theft results in us donating $25 each to NAACP, Trevor Project and Planned Parenthood - but that wasn't enough until I also started leaving our front lights on at night. Now, no more thefts... but ITA that has his lights on now. :(

I'm sure this is gonna get downvoted, but please don't do this! You might think you're being funny by inconveniencing your annoying neighbor by having them listen to a JW's message... but think about if your neighbor has anger issues, is violent, owns weapons. You're indirectly responsible for anything that happens to the JW (who had nothing to do with you and your neighbor's squabble) if they were to get hurt. You wouldn't want to be subjected to violence, insults, or abuse by a stranger, right? So why do this to others? And yes, I'm speaking from experience. I used to be a JW as a kid (thankfully I'm out but my parents are still JWs) and I can't tell you how many times I feared for my life when an angry person has threatened us with violence. I was a CHILD doing what I was told. Moral of the story: just call the appropriste authorities if your neighbor is being disruptive. Don't send people (or children) who had nothing to do with your squabble into dangerous situations.

I seem to get the timid ones as well. Most of the time they seem to want to leave as soon as I say "No thank you. Have a nice day". One time though two run off looking terrified before I could even say hello. As they were running away they yelled to me "Sorry Ma'am but we can't save you." I'm not sure if it was my tattoos, piercings or weird colored hair that made them think I couldn't be saved.

My Dad LOVED when the Jehovah’s Witnesses would come around. He loved arguing with people, and they were polite (as was he). They never ran off like most people did when he argued. He never agreed with them. He thought they were nice people. The two main people came to know him by name. They would make a special side trip even when it wasn't on their route or planning or whatever so they came by fairly regularly. I never interacted with them at all.

Might As Well Start Charging Him Rent
When I was really young our neighbor (druggy) demanded we move our septic tank because he claimed it was partially on his property. He was a complete jerk about it and kept at it. My dads a really laid back person, eventually even he got mad and had the property line surveyed. Turns out not only was the septic tank on our property, not his, but the corner of his house and part of his drive way was actually on our land. Dad spent the next few months asking him when he was going to move his house off our land.

My brother-in-law battled a man for literally years over land that was pretty much worthless. The man had a habit of suing people into submission over their lands. He would claim other people's land was part of his properties. He had a lot of money and could tie a case up in court indefinitely, employ lawyers, pay for multiple surveys, whereas the people he sued couldn't. They always gave in. When he set his land-stealing sights on my BIL's property, my BIL vowed he'd never give in no matter how much it cost or how long it took. He didn't either. He won with no lawyer, one survey and little effort, all because he refused to be intimidated.

My father had a land line dispute with the neighbor the day he came home to see she had ripped out his chain link fence to make way for an expanded driveway. The fight went on for months. During that time, my Dad discovered that the chain link fence WAS the new property line as it had remained that way, undisputed, for more than 20 years. There was a row of trees down the back yard on our side of the fence. My Dad went out there one weekend and cut all the trees down. She was out there yelling at him, trying to call the police. But it was determined by the police, who had been out many times to deal with her abusive husband, that the property line put the trees on our property and we could do what we wanted with the trees. That was all that was needed for my father to win the court case and force the neighbor to pay my Dad for the right to the extra strip of land...minus the trees of course.

My husband was a surveyor in the field before moving into the office - he's told me stories about entire buildings needing to be torn down because of this - so you CAN literally FORCE someone to tear down ANY structure if part of it is built on your land...or you can force them to buy the property they've encroached on for whatever price you ask (((so long as it's within fair market value, I believe))) My husband has had to tell clients that their buildings had to be torn down so they can start again on their own land...one of them was a parking garage that was already five stories high. They tore it down, moved it over THREE INCHES, and started to build it again. It's insane, but he said it's the law if the owner of the property wants to press it.

What Makes a Good or Bad Neighbor?
A survey by Porch, a site that connects homeowners and professional contractors, discovered that the worst neighbors are nosy ones—those who cross the line of a friendly wave to peeping into other people’s yards, getting too personal when meeting at the mailbox, or just a general invasion of privacy.
The other top four activities of annoying neighbors include being too loud, not picking up after their pets, parking in someone else’s designated spot, and leaving their children unsupervised. A good neighbor wouldn’t engage in such behavior.
While the people that Porch surveyed called out their neighbors, they also admitted their own shortcomings. 1 in 10 said they sometimes play music too loudly or talk loudly enough that it might annoy their neighbors. 2 in 10 said they don't know the names of any of their neighbors, while 6 in 10 said they know the names of only some of their neighbors.

Birds To The Rescue
Not particularly exciting, but amusing.
We briefly had a neighbor who was a complete jackass. My personal pet peeve was when he would yell at our kids to "shut up" while they were playing in the backyard.
Next to his driveway was a big tree and I noticed he'd throw occasional hissy fits over the birds cr*pping on his car.
One week he was out of town but his car was still in the driveway. Each day I put a heaping pile of berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) next to the tree. He returned home to a car absolutely COVERED in technicolor bird poop.

No offence, but this guy should NOT be screaming at kids like that! If all he really wanted was for them to tone it down, he should’ve done the ADULT thing; & calmly spoken about it with the parents! I’m sure the issue could’ve been resolved much better, if he were more mature about it. I’m an auntie of 8 nieces & nephews between the ages 4-24, but as I’m also autistic, I’ve had some moments where the kids got a bit too loud & I got irritated. However, I’m smart enough to know that yelling does NOT get the message across properly! Politely explain where the line has been crossed & you’ll get much farther. Also, respect is a two-way street! 🤷♀️

Going to need more information here before judging this guy. Were the kids screeching hellions who bellowed all day? Just because you have kids does not give them the right to not take into account those around them who have to share their space. Kids screaming all day in their yard is not okay. Leave the screaming games for indoors. As a parent, it's more your job to deal with that than anyone elses's.

considering this guy is yelling at birds for just living and doing their thing i highly doubt they were screaming. a kids laughter can sometimes b high pitch plus they couldve called out to a sibling that was on the other side of the yard etc. like this guy clearly thought the birds were purposely crapping on his car and the kids were purposely annoying him. hes just a grumpy guy who hates the world. this parent couldve done alot more then feed birds. also an elementary school is right behind my house so i hear kids scream bloody murder everyday but ive also heard the loud giggles i can understand y even the slightest child giggle or laugh would anger mr.grumpy but he doesnt have the right to yell directly at the kids and tell them to shut up

Noisy Neighbors Revenge
Our neighbors were constantly fighting, would get drunk every weekend, and blasted loud music until 4 a.m. Well, the girlfriend went out of town for a week for a work training, and we saw another girl park outside the house while she was gone. We heard the new girl and the BF going at it very loudly too. So the next time they were being super loud at 2 a.m., we went over to ask them to turn down the music. They both yelled at us to mind our own business. My wife just casually asked, 'Oh, did you get back together? What about that nice blonde girl who was over all last week? Is this a thrupple situation now?' Then we went home and enjoyed listening to them throwing everyone out and having their last fight.

We had a very similar thing when I was in high school. We lived an an apt complex. Our room backed up the neighboring couple. The wife's sister moved in. They had always been quiet and nice. The wife left for a few days. The whole time she was gone, hubby and sister were gettin' it on. And NOT quietly at all! We could hear so much detail and didn't sleep too good. Wife came home. One morning, as we left for school, mom saw them in the parking lot. All 3 of them. She asks if they'd pls mind turning down their sex volume so her kids could get a decent night sleep for school. The wife had a shocked look then glared at sister and hubby. They moved out soon thereafter.

I don't understand the "mind your own business" part. Their loud music is negatively affecting the neighbours, what does THAT have to do with minding one's business? I would have expected something more like "f off" or "get lost" (not saying those reactions would have been justified, just more consistent with being an a-hole)

Long-Term Revenge On Neighbor
My grandmother had a neighbor who refused to help her repair the fence between their properties. It was still functional, but falling apart. Any conversation about fixing the fence ended with him saying that it was on her property so it was her fence and therefore she was fully responsible.
My grandmother took a fall and was hospitalized for a few weeks, only to return home and find a new fence built an extra 5 feet into her property and a bill in the mail from the neighbor. He argued with her for months that she owed him, that the original fence was on his property, and that where it was now was the boundary line.
My grandmother got a surveyor and, surprise! The original fence was correct, and the neighbor had taken 5 feet off her yard. At this point she was very old, frail, and tired of fighting her a-hole neighbor. Instead, she let nature take over. She planted blackberries along the back fence, and within two years it was covered. Every year, she’d walk the fence and throw seeds over because, of course, it was still her yard. After five years of fighting, the blackberries had reclaimed her property. She’s been gone for a few years now, but the blackberries remain, her way of haunting her neighbor. He’s tried ripping up the ones on his side of the fence on numerous occasions, but the plants reseed themselves and grow back every year from her side.

I purposely built my new fence 6" into my property... this means I can grow anything I want on my fence. They demanded that I trim the vines growing on "their side" of the fence... I told them about the property line. I also gave them permission to cut anything they did not like on the side of the fence facing them. No more discussions or arguments since then... interestingly enough, the fence needed replacement on that side after about ten years... the complaining neighbor paid for half even though legally it was 100% my problem... I guess they did not want to have to look at my backyard... and we put it up as before completely on my property... nice that these people finally grew up a little

Guess Who’s Not Having Any More Parties?
The rich brats next door always threw loud, drunken parties when their parents were out of town. One Sunday morning, I went out to find the corner of our lot (which was a school bus stop) littered with used condoms. That night around midnight, I gloved-up and collected a bunch of them, snuck into the neighbors' yard, and scattered them around the pool, the garage, and the back door where mom was sure to see them. There were no more parties.

Retired school teacher here. We found them all the time on the kids playground especially in the covered slide. Schools in some neighborhoods had used syringes everywhere and even had to have clean up days to get them all picked up-(adults only). Worse was when they drank beer on the slides then let them roll down and break at the bottom. Where kids come off the slides to the ground. Wicked mean that. They also tagged our school and playground as their gangs property.

Very Stinky Prank On Neighbors’ Kids
My great-grandfather was one of the last people in town to get indoor plumbing, so he had an outhouse in his yard. Every Halloween, the neighborhood kids came into the yard and knocked over the building to expose the cesspit. He got tired of it, so one year on the night before Halloween, he moved the building forward and covered the fess with burlap, disguising it in leaves and grass clippings. In the dark, it was almost impossible to tell it was there. On Halloween night, he sat in the outhouse and waited. It wasn’t long after sundown when he heard the wet splat outside as a couple of kids fell into the muck. He lowered a ladder into the cesspit for them to leave after making them promise to never mess with his outhouse again. The kids honored their promise and even spread the word around the neighborhood not to mess with that outhouse any more.

What Can You Do About a Hostile Neighbor?
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Seeking revenge on neighbors can have both positive and negative results; while it might yield some short-term satisfaction, it can also permanently damage your relationship. Moreover, it doesn't solve the underlying issue. Also, just because you have the opportunity to seek revenge on neighbors doesn’t mean that you should. Often, the best revenge is taking the high road.
Be a bigger person and find ways to address the issue without escalating the situation. Consider having a calm and respectful conversation to express your concerns. Sometimes, not engaging in retaliatory actions can lead to a more peaceful resolution in the long run. That’s what adults do, right?
For example, what’s the best revenge on smoking neighbors? Talk to them, and tell them your concerns about the smoke. They might not be aware that it’s causing you discomfort. See if you can work out a compromise, like finding a designated smoking area. If the problem persists and becomes a health or safety hazard, check local regulations regarding smoking in shared spaces and consider involving authorities.

5:30 A.m. Battle Of Mower And Metal Chains
Neighbor used to insist on mowing his lawn at 5:30 am every Saturday morning. He had to drive on our property to access his back lawn and would buzz right past my window with the mower deck down waking me up. I asked him to stop but was brushed off.
One Friday night after working a late second shift I left my dogs chain in the tall grass on our property between our houses. 5:30am Saturday comes around and I woke up to the sound of the mower sucking the chain up into the mower deck. The next weekend I got to sleep in.

When my neighbors had their first child last year, I took care not to mow my lawn until noon to be sure everyone was getting enough sleep, and I only mowed every 3 weeks to give them as much time as possible between mows without pissing off my HOA. It's not hard to be considerate.

Fence Feud: Neighbor’s Complaint Backfires!
My mom's neighbor called the city to demand my mom repair the fence that divided their yards. This lady had been a crab apple for 10+ years, but this move pissed my mom off. The fence did need mild repairs, but my mom was already in the process of getting quotes to fix it and would have done it if the neighbor had just talked to her. When the city contacted my mom and said she had to maintain the fence, she asked if she legally had to have one. Turns out there are rules about maintaining a fence, but not requiring you have one, so my mom paid a contractor to tear it down entirely. The neighbor asked my mom when the new fence would be built, and she said, 'You want a fence? Build it yourself!' A couple weeks later, my mom had a nice new fence, courtesy of one annoying neighbor.

He got a parking ticket, got towed (tow AND inpound fees) and I also told that the pile of cigarette butts beside his van was his. The cherry on that sunday was when said douchebag got pissed at me and the cop. He got arrested for intimidating a police office, for his warrants and expired driver license and tags.

Burning up inside, I noticed a pile of bagged debris on the curb from our neighbor on that side. It contained board end pieces, sticks, branches and debris. I stuck it up under the bumper pushed under the car. Then I part so close behind him so he couldn't back up. It was raining that day. I'm sure he had a jolly time prying junk out from under his car in the rain. The next day he was parked elsewhere.

A Sticky Situation
My grandpa's neighbor's septic tank started leaking into my grandpa's backyard. He repeatedly asked his neighbor to fix the tank and clean up the mess, and the neighbor completely brushed him off. So my grandpa took matters into his own hands. He rigged up a 'plumbing system' in his yard — an upright PVC pipe that pointed at the neighbor's backyard. It was set up to spray the neighbor's own septic waste over the fence and into their beautiful and polished yard. Just like that, the neighbor fixed his septic tank.

Noisy Neighbors Revenge With A Pee-Ceful Surprise

Ah, the power of pee. In my old apartment building, we had a system of lining up our baskets so that if the machine was in use we knew who was next. Everyone respected this system. I timed the cycle perfectly, so I showed up immediately after the person in front of me was done using the washer. When I opened the door, the prior lady was walking out of the room with her clean clothes and some idiot was hurriedly putting her clothes in the washer, having jumped the entire queue. I told her "I was next", thinking she would remove her clothes and let me have my turn, and she just kind of "Oh, um.." and giggled embarrassed. I waited until her clothes were on their final spin cycle, peed into a cup, then tossed it in. Hope she enjoyed the smell of my freshly baked-in piss when the clothes came out of the dryer.

Lights Out For A Loud Neighbor
I had a noisy neighbor in the apartment above me. The music was SO loud in the hallway that I couldn't tell which unit it was coming from at first. I knocked on his door and politely asked him to turn it down, but he refused, and I knew I wouldn't get anywhere with him. After a few more days of this, I decided to take action. The laundry room on my floor had all of the electrical panels for individual units clearly labelled. Every time he blasted his music, I would go to the laundry room and turn his power off. I started off with a few seconds (to give the illusion that he blew something), but when he STILL wouldn't put his music lower, I would just shut his power off for hours. I could hear him swearing, but I didn't care. My lease was almost up, and as soon as it was, I was out of there.

I just laughed at her, told her that wasn't happening and walked off. That was about 20 years old. We just repainted last summer (yes, great paint, Benjamin Moore, by the was) and we painted it bright teal. Again, all the neighbors love it. Before that when it was orange, we found out that the police on their scanners would use our house as reference and say things "north of the creamsicle house". I wonder what they use now.

A Child Prank On Neighbor
When I was 10 or so, an old lady was nasty to my brother and I for sitting on 'her' curb. So we got the bright idea to have an estate sale for her. We got up at like 4 a.m. on Saturday morning and put up homemade cardboard garage sale signs with her address on them and 'early birds welcome' in bold letters. We then sat on the curb a little down the street across from her house and watched people bang on the door for an hour or so. The best part is we didn't put a date on the signs, so if she didn't find all the signs, presumably people would keep showing up every Saturday.

Pushing The Invisible Limits Of A Man
There was a really quiet, meek guy on our street, and a neighbor would constantly let their dog poo on his front lawn. He tried all the normal things like pepper on the lawn, motion sprinklers, and little signs, but the dog owner didn't care. Well, one day the guy got so mad, he mashed up and liquified his OWN POO and put it into a super soaker. He followed the man home, then returned in the middle of the night and emptied the super soaker through the man's letterbox. The impact splatter hit the walls, hallway, stairs, ceiling and even reached into the kitchen at the end of the hallway. Apparently the stench was HORRENDOUS.

He found out the guy was inundated with calls for weeks but never found out who had listed it.

I didn't know this was illegal until years later.... Had a dickhead for a neighbor, bitched and moaned about every little thing anyone in the neighborhood did. Made life miserable for all of us. He was also always yelling at the mailman for his mail being late (The guy was there at the same time everyday for years) I put in a Change of Address and had sent his mail to another state...

Same neighbor with the annoying construction worker always had his window shade up a crack on the window with a view of our front porch. He asked my husband one day who the girl was running around while we were gone. He replied that she was taking care of our pets while we were on a trip, and asked him how he knew. He told him that he had a spy camera in the window because he was worried someone might steal his window unit ! This made me extremely mad as my privacy was being invaded. We hung a tarp on that side of the carport facing his spy camera.Then I walked slowly by his camera and waved sarcastically. I believe he moved it elsewhere less boring

Instant Revenge On Neighbors
I poured a bunch of instant mashed potato powder boxes on their lawn, so when it rained, they had a lawn full of mashed potatoes.

I sprinkled a whole bunch of Cheerios all over their lawn so that the next Spring, they had donut trees sprouting up all over the place.

We had a guy who would literally measure our grass and if we didn't mow every week, he'd call the city, even if the grass didn't need it. He also yelled at our kids for being too loud and once reported us for "noxious weeds" for planting mint (in a pot, but set into the ground, I'm not dumb) . So I visited the Monsanto field behind my dad's house and gathered chemically resistant dandelion seeds. I seeded his yard one night, a few weeks later and his precious yard was dotted with yellow. We've moved, but I drive by once in a while. He's still fighting them.

I was fortunate with the party animal next door. I explained that I had missed work twice from lack of sleep. Lucky for me, he didn't want to be known as the building's resident asshole, so he ended party hours at 11pm on weeknights and 1pm on weekends. Not perfect, but tolerable on my end. I try to be considerate on my end and remind my husband to turn down the radio volume so as not to blast the neighbours awake. I don't want to be know as the wife of the asshole.

Ultra-conservative hyper-religious neighbor wouldn't stop criticizing rest of neighborhood. Finally got tired of it, and sent off for catalogs to a *bunch* of porn dealers (magazines, toys, etc) in HIS name. He was on their mailing lists for _years_!

According to your description of him, odds are really good that you either gave him new magazines to read, or doubled all his existing subscriptions. It’s always the ones who advertise their “religious faith” the loudest who turn out to be the worst sinners.

I had some party animals in my neighborhood. They would park their cars in front of my house and throw their cans and bottles on my lawn. So one early Sunday morning, I picked up all the cans and bottles and banged on their door to deliver the garbage. The hungover boys must have told their guests to stop doing that because I never had another problem.

A neighbor and I spent a lot of time as kids (around 8-9 probably) cooking up artificial bird poo, which we then shot onto another neighbor's laundry as it was drying outside (using a plastic tube). It all started after she kicked my cat.
Ashley Jernigan 3 years ago (edited)
When I was kid I lived next to this HORRIBLE old women and her husband. She would scream at us kids just for playing in our own yards and other things that were mean for no reason, like spraying us or my dog with a garden hose. And if her husband was nice to us we would hear her screaming at him. When she finally passed away, her husband would come out and watch us play and he would allow us to pick grapes that they grew whenever we wanted. I would come home with bowls and bowls full of them. He had grown grandchildren and missed them being so little and having them want to be around him a the time. My parents always invited him over to the cook outs we had and he also accepted. He would always apologize for how his wife treated us and he even had a baby orphaned deer we were allowed to pet and feed. I miss that old man a lot sometimes and think about how kind he was to all of us. And he was all sort of our neighborhood grandpa.

My other neighbor neglects her dogs and when I said something about it she cussed me out. When her husband was burning leaves in an open pit, dry AF, and left them burning without supervision, I called the fire department. They egged my house later that night. They also have 2 racecars they rev up late into the night. I'm glad to have some ideas on how to deal with them. 🤔😁

Sounds like how m y neighborhood is turning out now. It used to be nice and quiet but there's more karens and petty, pretentious twaddle running around being hateful. We've got two white women here who have christened themselves neighborhood watch, unbeknownst to the rest of us, of course. They went around causing trouble for the only black neighbor on this end of the neighborhood for no reason other than they wanted to get away with being racists. I'm white and there's a bunch of other white people on this end who bother no one. Even the Trump supporters are quiet people that mind their own business. But these two women were so bad that our black neighbor had to file a restraining order against them. It worked. They both tried trolling the neighborhood for white support and got nothing. Plus one of them can't afford another incident or she'll lose her job as a bus driver. So the rest of us neighbors know what to threaten them both with now if they try to get high on themselves again.

We'd heard stories of the person who lived in our house before we moved in. A total d**k. He cut the sunflower of our older neighbor's wife (who had cancer, has passed 😔) for no reason. We have raised garden beds because they poured metal objects/shavings, oil, and random junk like rubber into the dirt of the terrace. They also cut down the pine trees to look like bushes, trimming them in a way they'd never grow tall. When we moved in, we got invited to a party. Our neighbors threw a party because that person before us moved out. There's other stories, but those are the main ones.
