Neighbour revenge (light hearted)

Timeforkarma · 16/01/2024 17:16

My NDN has made our lives hell since we moved in 3 Years ago. We haven’t settled here and we made the decision to move again as it damaged my mental health.
We now have a lovely house lined up with lovely neighbours to match. We move in the coming weeks and I can’t wait.
So now, I need to find some revenge for NDN for our last day here. Obviously I don’t want to break the law, so any fun suggestions to annoy them and to go out with a bang would be appreciated 😁.
Id send a glitter bomb but the neighbours aren’t worth the money! And walking away without revenge isn’t an option, I’m a woman on a mission 🤣

Can you drop a Furby into the cavity wall between your houses? Maybe from the loft you can remove a loose brick?

I do like the birdseed or bacon rind idea, the birds will flock and the resultant pooh is an Act of God , 🤫

also good for CF Parkers

Have a lovely time in your new house!
Who puts nails and glass done and rat poison where kids play. That’s beyond the realms of crazy and is properly criminal.

We had neighbours that did not give a fuck about the noise. I think we were so worried about keeping quiet that they didn’t realise, but then even when told it kept on. We moved but bought a new build and part exchanged, so we had no for sale sign or anything and they only knew we were moving the day the moving vans turned up. It was sold to someone who rents to people on the housing association list and I was hoping for a family with a drum kit or teengers playing on their PlayStation in their rooms with loud surround sound speakers 😂

Blackberry seeds
Lots and lots of blackberry seeds sprinkled all over their front and or back garden

MoonWoman69 · 16/01/2024 20:00

Hmmm ring door bell you say... Dog poo in a paper bag, set alight on the doorstep, ring the bell and run wouldn't work then... Dammit that was my only suggestion... 😁😁😁

Snowydaysfaraway · 16/01/2024 20:00

Leave some wind chimes in the garden.
When our ndn moved she left bunting on the fence. Yet it was her who had a string of solicitor's letters sent out!!

determinedtomakethiswork · 16/01/2024 20:08

Have you sold your house or are you renting? I hate to think of somebody buying a house and not realising what the neighbours are like.

Timeforkarma · 16/01/2024 20:23

I’ll go with the bird seed and salt suggestions 😆.
Sadly the police didn’t take it further as I couldn’t prove it was her. ( no other nearby neighbour and no access for it to be someone else).
It’s rented so I have no idea who the new tenants would be. I feel sorry for them but I hope they stand up to her and it stops.

"Can you drop a Furby into the cavity wall between your houses? Maybe from the loft you can remove a loose brick?"

This is brilliant!

I was going to suggest chiselling a brick out of their chimney from the loft and posting some stinky cheese through it, but a Furby is way better.

Sign them up with various sex based/embarrassing magazine newsletters. Use a slightly insulting version of their name and their real address. Swingers weekly, poligamy r us. Karma sutra etc etc, have fun with it.

Yes do this but get it sent to your current house so they have the awkward situation of new neighbours giving it to them

No need to google if you are here to correct people.

Squiggles23 · 17/01/2024 09:04

mouse or two through the letter box 😅

MaggieNextDoor · 17/01/2024 09:04

We had a horrible neighbour in our last house. He hated the fact that a young couple with several children could afford a house on his exclusive private road. He tried and failed to make our life a misery.

We got our revenge, 25 years on, by selling our house to a property developer who intended to turn it into flats for low income people.

My plan for my NFH is to pee in a plastic tub, Freeze it then post it through their letterbox at 1am. By morning it will have melted and absorbed into the carpet and they'll have no idea why their living room stinks of piss.

Surely cat pee better no? 😂

I've recently moved home. Our neighbour was lovely when they first moved in ten ish years ago. It was five years ago when I very suddenly became unwell and was left disabled that they seemed to turn on me. I was out of work for 18 months. During this time they would see me in my wheelchair and laugh at me, called us doleys, took my crutches out of our front porch and chucked them in a skip up the road (caught on doorbell), park so far on the pavement outside our house that I couldn't get off the front path in my wheelchair to go out or I'd have to struggle on crutches up the road to get to my car. I had a motorbility car adapted to my needs and returned to work full time last year. Abuse continued. I got a disabled car bay painted outside my home by the council so I could put my car there and make life easier for me. They immediately parked their car there with a blue badge god knows who's. It was just spite. They had a drive at the side of their house for two cars.

So our revenge . Two scrap cars with tyres removed,one on their drive, the other blocking it in were delivered to their home the day after we left. Then another two delivered three months later when they finally got those removed.

It's really useful knowing people in the scrap trade.

ToMeToYouAndBack · 17/01/2024 09:39

Sellotape one or two of those annoying musical greeting cards on the party bedroom walls. They will hear these all night for ever mwah ha ha

You can buy sound modules on Amazon cheaply

SinnerBoy · 17/01/2024 09:51

I like the idea of signing them up to swingers clubs etc, even better if you have their mobile numbers to add, with a "Call any time, up for anything!" message.

It's a shame they've got a Ring doorbell, or you could have got a load of frozen sausages, poked holes in their lawn with a broken broom handle and inserted the sausages into the holes.

I've heard that the stench is horrific, come the warm weather....

swedishmom24 · 17/01/2024 09:58

I've always fantasised about drawing a cock on my neighbours lawn in bleach/something that would kill the grass.

Amongst other things (giving DH major anxiety) he spat in my face that I was a horrible little bitch, and told DH to "control your wife".

Years and years ago,my parents rented a flat above a shop in my home town city centre

All good until they had me-the shop owner would come upstairs and scream at my parents to 'shut it up'

They bought their own house a few miles away and my father timed to move at the point the shop was busy

He moved all their stuff into the removal van-bar two hi-fi's (showing my age now)

He quietly put everything in the van and just before they drove off,he nipped back in and turned the hi'fi's up to the max volume,speakers face down on the floor over where the shop front was and locked up (he said something about it being the sex pistols)

Came back late the next night to take them to the new house (my mother had to stop him going back the day after that)

He often saw the bloke in town after that-not a word was said

My lovely fil lost his mum (dps nanna) and she had a prime flat in a very posh part of London (she owned it much to the neighbours disgust)

Her neighbours where awful snobs (certainly looked down at me when I went to help) but while nanna was alive,they tried to make her life hell (she wasn't 'good enough' to live in her flat-not 'the right sort of person' she was an old lady who died of dementia)

Loud music,dumping rubbish next to her front door (so he didnt have to get rid but was an excuse to moan at the council about her anti social behaviour which meant fil had to move it),abuse and just being very anti social in general

Fil had the option to sell to someone else or to sell to the local council when she passed away (he wouldn't lost out price wise either way)

He went for the latter-and waited (his satisfaction was the fact they would be council tenants-the neighbour hated 'council scum' not my words at all-i grew up in a council house)

Drove by a few months later and was very pleased to see the nasty neighbours where getting a taste of their own medicine

Rubbish piled even higher at their shared fence,loud music blaring,teenagers hanging round outside (smoking and getting pissed) and new neighbours shouting abuse at the old one

Served them right

I hope you don't speak to people like this in RL. Otherwise you are likely to be getting a furby shoved in your loft.

Many years ago our retired neighbours put up a six foot fence when I became pregnant with my first child. We sold the house to a family of six (four children under 12) when my son was two years old and left with a smile.

BeauSignoles · 17/01/2024 10:12

if you can manage to circumvent the ring doorbell - pour milk through a car window and/or living room window onto the carpet. That smell never comes out.

user1471538283 · 17/01/2024 10:26

I'm loving all of these!

My ex-neighbors made my life hell with constant noise all day every day and most of the night during a global pandemic. I sold without doing any of these things but I wish I had done so.

I would definitely leave loud music on for a day or two if you can, something horrendous on repeat!

Or you or someone to bang loudly on the wall at intervals but not standard ones. Lots of banging, then nothing for 10 minutes, then more banging, then an hour, then more banging, day and night!

The furby up the chimney is genius! As is cat nip or bird seed on the roof of the car!

My ex-neighbors are now both selling up (in this economic climate) and I wonder if it's because of the person I sold to!

I wish you every happiness in your new home.
