To be cooking up sweet revenge plans for the party that still hasn't finished from last night?

I know it's the girl next doors 18th but the shouting and shrieking all night in the garden right under our window and the Drunken Fist fight in the street that has just resulted in dh having to go out and break them up and a police van drive past a few minutes later (they'd all gone by then) was the final straw. So now I'm plotting revenge. I've already said no to the poor postman who couldn't get an answer (there must be more than 20 people in the house!!) and wanted to leave their parcel with me but I need more.
We're selling our house soon (which is why I haven't been able to go out and tell them what I think!!! Don't want to cause a neighbour dispute I have to declare) - I wonder if I could find someone particular vile to sell it to.
To be honest it's not her I'm so cross with but her feckless parents who I'm sure are in the house sleeping with ear plugs in.
I know I pulled a few all nighters in my youth but it's nearly 10am and they're still going!! How!?!?
So who's got some good revenge ideas I can cackle over with my 10th cup of coffee of the morning Cos the kids slept through it all and were still up at 6.

Know any tree surgeons?

Peonies has it with the jet wash.

My dad suffered an all night party, turned his speakers up to the joining wall, put on a long and dramatic opera record and left for work.

MintyT · 15/06/2019 11:10

Children's super soaker water fight as the dolled up on a nice out

dramalamma · 15/06/2019 11:15

I'm really surprised at the saints people here who wouldn't be upset at an all night party that is still going .... 11am and counting! But you're all clearly better people than me on zero sleep and a long day ahead.

I think what really rankles is that it happens to be dh bday today and we have a very unusual child free evening planned and now all I'm going to want to do is sleep. 😡 Feels like ive been forced to trade dh nice bday for hers.

No trees for the surgeon unfortunately and the power washer is broken ... plus the stone walls are so thick you can't hear anything from house to house s even opera won't help - its the partying in the garden that has everyone upset. Just had my neighbour from the other side over and they've been up all night too.

Oh god go for the glitter bomb!!!

It will haunt her for years GrinGrinGrin

ChoudeBruxelles · 15/06/2019 11:23

Send them a glitter bomb card

ShowMeTheKittens · 15/06/2019 11:25

I just don't know why people cannot put up with things just once a year. Bloody rubbish but there you go.

Soubriquet · 15/06/2019 11:27

It sounds like the OP is complaining about a party that has been going on for over 12 HOURS

No one in their right mind would go “oh well it’s only once a year” Hmm

Hairwizard · 15/06/2019 11:30

Move a radio to a wall that would have them on the other side of it. Turn it up full blast and go shopping.
Did this few years back to the 2 silly bitches who threw a noisy all nighter party when i was due to compete the next day. Walls are really thin. I was up at 6am when it had gone quiet and put radio on full blast next to wall that separated our bedrooms. Then went to tescos.

MotherTime3 · 15/06/2019 11:31

From what I remember of being 18, they will probably sleep through any revenge noise, and suffer very little hangover. And if the parents slept through ti, your revenge won’t work on them either. You might have to play the long game

OLP2019 · 15/06/2019 11:37

@dramalamma if this is a one off and as you are aware it's a big Bday milestone I think you're being a bit of a bitch and entirely petty
Different if this is a weekly occurrence of course

DontCallMeShitley · 15/06/2019 11:51

Hire a huge sound system and set it up against the wall, put it on loop and go out.

A radio won't cut it.

Bonfire? Always makes me feel sick to smell one. Assuming the wind is blowing their way.

Jemima232 · 15/06/2019 11:54

Go to YouTube.

Find Anch'il mar par che sommerga (Vivaldi) and make sure it's the Cecilia Bartoli version.

Play it, over and over again, at the highest possible volume, in your back garden.

Littletabbyocelot · 15/06/2019 11:56

Fantasise that instead of selling you will turn it into an air bnb specialising in hen parties

whatliketoeat · 15/06/2019 12:24

Put some speakers in the garden then. Nice and loud while you mow the grass

CaptainButtock · 15/06/2019 12:32

Haven’t you got some shelves that need putting up today on the party* wall?
*Pun entirely unintended 😇

FFSeverynameisused · 15/06/2019 12:32

yes if its dry where you are, mow the lawn.

Play the tv loud

get the kids in the garden playing and screeching

Stormy76 · 15/06/2019 13:01

Get your kids recorders lol

Stormy76 · 15/06/2019 13:02

Send them out in the garden to toot away to their hearts content hahaha

LakieLady · 15/06/2019 13:07

Do you know anyone with an excitable dog that loves to play ball with children?

The endless barking and screeching from the kids would make anyone feel murderous.

LakieLady · 15/06/2019 13:09

Ooops! Piss-poor punctuation made it sound as though your children bark like dogs.

Sorry about that. Blush

DramaRamaLlama · 15/06/2019 13:12

They're 18 they don't suffer hangovers so you're only going to irritate yourself further by engaging in tit for tat.

Honestly if it's only once a year and you're moving chalk it up to one of those things. You might want to throw an 18th for your DC one day.

TheABC · 15/06/2019 13:19

Post through that glitter bomb card. It won't upset the rest of the neighbours and will necessitate the hoover coming out....win,win.

k1233 · 15/06/2019 13:26

When I had a yard, I'd start the mower, rev it flat out, place under neighbours window and spend 10 minutes looking for something in the shed. Then I'd go back and forth and round and round so just as they thought I'd be finished near their place, I'd be back again. Yard used to take an hour to an hour and a half to mow, so no way they would be getting back to sleep.

Also accidentally set off car alarm from inside the house one day - right between the houses, so it really amplified the noise. They had young kids, job done Smile

FermatsTheorem · 15/06/2019 13:29

My mum always favoured Bach organ music at full volume in circs like this. I'd go for the Queen of the Night aria (that top F's gotta hurt with a hangover) or Rossini's cat duet. Good chunk of Ride of the Valkyries (the operatic version with multiple sopranos) also good.
