Petty revenge on family from hell next door..

[Londonlassie12]

We no longer speak to ndn due to a number of awful issues with them during lockdown.. They have now been badmouthing us to anyone who'll listen which has greatly upset us as its all untrue. We are no contact with them but I feel I'm due a little petty revenge act as we've risen above them so far...

Windchimes. Near the Bedroom window

Love this as they play music out the back 24/7 just low enough for DH & I to hear & up against our adjoining fence😭

Absolutely right OP, this can only end well and will not in any way make things worse.

One of those cat/teen repellent sound machines every time you go out

A fairy light and wind chime combo.
Plus a barking dog.

Do that clearing throat with phlegm noise when their windows are open

Bluetooth speaker up against fence playing 'Nothing Compares to you' by Sinead O'Connor on repeat? Not too loudly as to be breaking the law but just enough for them to hear and first of all, begin speculating & spreading rumours that you've split with your husband. By the 20th minute their eyes will begin twitching and by 3 hours they'll be contemplating moving

How do you feel about keeping chickens or bees? 🤔

Or maybe just a rooster?

I prefer the intro to Blue Monday!

Endless diy at all hours of the day and night with your workmen "accidentally " climbing on their roof, garage and fences etc. It drives us batshit and they didn't even down tools when the neighbour the others side had a funeral. My husband knocked and said how about giving it a rest until the hearse has gone.

@FinishWhatWeStarted 😆😆😆 That's how their heads will feel by lunchtime

About 15 years ago my old neighbours thought it’d be great to play loud music all day and night long before I had an early shift. It was a Tuesday. When I left at 6am, they and their kids were in bed I decided to play my Kenwood 5 CD player as loud as possible and left the house.
Never heard a peep out of them after that.

This is bloody brilliant 🤣

I'm sure one of your kids mentioned they wanted to learn the violin.

Fucking hell do adults really behave like this?

nah recorder. one of those £2 plastic jobbys from tesco...

Liking the recorder & violin ideas!

Of course petty revenge will escalate things I'm sure

What are their daytime hours? Late nights? Make your day start at 7 with a whole lot of vacuuming...

My friend did this with her nightmare neighbours but stuck the speaker in the gutters (her window cleaner kindly assisted!!!) 🤣

People might ''listen'' to bad-mouthing but they make their own judgement as to who is right or wrong.

In saying that, consider how you plan to react. It might actually prove your neighbours right!

Don't give them headspace, rise above it. They'll get bored soon enough. Unless of vourse you antagonise them.

I love the violin and recorder idea- why not take it to the next level and ALL take this up ( recorders are indeed cheap) and you can have lovely evenings / early weekend mornings all playing the same tune together or attempting to. And adding your own singing into it if you’re singing is anything like mine (I usually have to keep my voice quiet it’s so bad )

If it wasn’t invading their privacy I wish you could PM lots of us their address so we could send random postcards x several hundred pretending to know them and with very random news

start learning to play the piano
if the guy upstairs attempts to play the Lion King one more time....
