Annoying neighbours - how can I annoy them back?’

Semi-lighthearted.

I have smelly and annoying neighbours. Not horrible people, just gross. Four litters of puppies ‘by accident’ dog shit all over the garden, home overcrowded with adult and near adult kids plus their kid, only one adult goes out to work so it’s noisy all day and currently blaring out awful music and drunkenly and loudly blathering in the garden. Can’t even sit out there, it smells and it’s just not nice.

AIBU to think of ways to give them a taste of their own medicine, lawnmower at 7am, get loads of parcels delivered to their address, barbecue fish at all times of the day?

Play classical music.

edit: in all seriousness though could you report them to environmental health?

Extremely hard as I have a similar issue but I can’t stand mine. But the best revenge is getting on with your life and not rising to their bait. Life’s too short to be unhappy and resentful. (I need to try and take my own advice)
