Yes, I know I should turn the other cheek and yes I will refrain from doing anything daft, but humour my daydreaming about ways to irritate her, please! Suggestions of things you've done or things you'd love to have done when landed with a nightmare neighbour?

Just want to point out that it was my DAD not me who froze toads. I could never kill one and there's no way in hell something like that is going in my freezer with my food.

We have a neighbour like this. She recently described DDIL as sinister.
DDIL is 4 feet tall and as sinister as a muffin decorated with a kitten.

I think she's paranoid.

My gerbil died while my mum was looking after him for me. She didn't tell me because she didn't want to spoil my holiday, but kept him in the freezer until I got back.

He was well wrapped and we had a service for him in her garden.

Sign her up for mailing lists.

And I have read the full thread, but sorry if I missed this one: order a glitter bomb.

We had an odd neighbour who reported us to the RSPCA as 'we left our dog in the garden all day and our cat wasn't kept inside...the dog kept escaping into her garden and she had to return it' in fact the dog goes to work with DH and they were both working away at the time .although I will admit that the cat leaves the house 😊
She also complained that the kids laughed too loudly, my deaf brother did not say 'hello' to her in the supermarket and that we were spying on her everytime we went in the , that our chickens didn't eat the food she threw over the fence for them ..all done in screaming rants on our front doorstep.
We got a cockerel Smile ....he crowed loudly to the cockerel at the farm across the lane ...she'd moved out within 3 months

I took pictures of my neighbour and her workman once because they'd placed a ladder in my garden to reach the balcony on her house and to piss me off. I'd told her to move it but she shouted down imperiously: 'Neighbour access! You have to allow it. Look it up!' and then they ignored me.

When I started taking pictures and said I'd call the police, she went up the wall, but removed the ladder.

You can take pictures of people unless they have a reasonable expectation of privacy btw. Sometimes that includes their garden, though a long lens trained on their bedroom window would be going too far. Not that I'd want to take any pictures of my neighbours where there'd be any danger of them being naked.

As I said, the police were great. They said if I ever felt threatened by her presence on my property I could call 999. If it wasn't urgent, I could call the Safer Neighbourhoods Team office for a later chat. I never did because the threat was enough.

She was a colossal cunt. I do sympathise with your desire for petty revenge OP.
