Petty Acts of (Neighbour) Revenge

[AlwaysFoldingWashing]

Please share some inspiration for petty acts of revenge - bonus points if they are neighbour themed

I got fed up with next door's cats shitting in my garden so just regularly lobbed it back over: funnily enough they have now set up a mesh fence at the top of the garden walls to prevent their cats from coming into our garden.

"My mum and her neighbour are attached by their double garages, and there's a driveway running the width of the two. So very wide, and although mum's is the furthest away at the end of a narrow lane, because it's an open front, it's easy for her to get to her driveway.
The neighbour's wheelie bins used to sometimes encroach marginally on my mum's side of the driveway on bin day, so my mum had a wall built between the two driveways. She now has to do the most awkward manoeuvring to get her car in and out. But she's very happy that no parts of wheelie bins ever go on her driveway uninvited."

That's a Pyrrhic victory.

I forget what the lads who lived across the road did to offend us (it was 40 years ago and we were all students) but we filled in their names and addresses on hundreds of Freepost reply coupons advertising all sorts of crap (if you're under a certain age you won't remember these, but there was no cost to us). After a while every post brought them a heap of "unsolicited mail". We were very careful not to tick any boxes asking for a rep to call, but some still turned up.....

We got our revenge by doing nothing

We own our house,and our lovely neighbour died,so within weeks,the new neighbours moved in (council-im not a snob at all,just for context)

All was good for a few months until she happened to mention she enjoyed hoovering at 3am and did it bother us?

We said 'no,not heard you' and she then turned batshit

She rang the police on us for not making a racket on our doorstep for covid,parking outside our house (legally),started bad mouthing us to any neighbour that gave her time to rant,dumping her rubbish in our bins/garden,was always on our doorstep,screaming that she had reported us to our landlord and they wanted us out (utter bollocks but she didn't know we own) would come out of her house and scream at us if we dared to leave our house and threatened my sons dog with a carving knife (big mistake as my son worked for the police at the time and they warned her off) (loads more but I don't want to fill the thread-this was almost daily)

I come from a narc family,so knew the best thing to do was to grey rock her,so we did-we'd just deal with the police,ignore the neighbours,shut the door on her ranting at us and ignored her best we could

It was working well until March (we had about two years of this) and she banged on our door

She'd somehow set her house alight and needed our help to ring 999 (we did)

She then went skidding off to the media,saying the council had refused to re-home her (they'd tried twice but she turned her nose up at what was offered),set up a gofundme (she got less than a quarter of the amount she demanded, while bad mouthing us for not donating!) and begged for stuff all over fb,which she promptly sold (and got caught)

I wouldn't have wished her losing her home on anyone,but karma bit her arse and solved the problem

I just feel so bad for her new neighbours

When it got dark my neighbour use to let his 2 dogs out to poo all over mine & other neighbours gardens. It was all caught on camera, we could have gone to the police but thought they probably had bigger things to worry about so every morning I went out with a shovel & through his poo back at his car.
He now takes his dogs for a walk on a lead & cleans up their turds.

Actually, there's some evidence of plant sentience.

Regardless of that, a lot of people would consider killing any living creature just for the frivolous purpose of getting revenge on another living creature objectionable.
Plants, after all, literally provide us with the oxygen we need in order to survive. They should be shown more respect than that.

@Blueglazzier 😂😂😂 the mowing over stones at 9am, unmatched 👏🏼

Someone sent my twat of an ex boss a pile of dirt to let him know what a dirtbag he was. Apparently there's a company you can pay to send the dirt anonymously, so he could never figure out who it was...I suspect the list of possible suspects was very long.

I must add , my mower was a huge old heavy flymo thing and my garden is only about 15' x 15' and the stones those small rocks heavy enough to stay in place when I lifted the mower to grate over them , time and time again . The noise awful . I loved every moment of it . As I say I never knew if it bothered the selfish hungover neighbours, no one else complained cause they guessed what I was doing . Revenge is sweet

This is good timing, I met my dog walking neighbour / crony today and she told me about a parking one, from a few years ago!

On the main road, there are some flats above an accountant and a happy clappy church. The pavement is very broad and there are marked, numbered parking bays, for the exclusive use of the flat owners. The church people kept parking in them, despite requests not to.

One resident had gone in and asked them to move their cars and was told he'd have to wait, how dare he interrupt their service, they needed to park etc etc. The Police and council were no use.

One of the residents had a friend with motorbikes, who realised that he could get chains for locking bikes through car wheels. The biker friend put one chain through the wheel of one car and the same through the neighbouring one, then linked the chains.

When the CFs came out and discovered it, they went banging on doors, demanding release. The Police came and asked for them to be released, but the residents denied all knowledge. Biker lad got his chains off that evening and the CFs never parked there again.

@AlwaysFoldingWashing we had a major fall out with our neighbours. collected the dogs' pee in the morning and sprayed in on her drying bedding!!! they were building a massive extension and when the brickwork was up but uncovered, I got out the hose in the dark and sprayed it into the cavity between the two walls!!

Which company?
Asking for a friend....

I’ve had some really awful neighbours over the years.
the first one bullied me relentlessly because I heard him abusing his wife and reported him, he turned everyone against me for ‘lying’. I signed him up for everything I could online including care home brochures, drug addiction help, free lube and condoms, incontinance pads. My personal favourite being animal poo that you can have ordered to someone (sendshit.co.U.K. To anyone interested). Even 9 years on I still send them because it made him so angry but he couldn’t prove it was me so I enjoy the petty giggles knowing his reaction when they arrive.
second awful neighbour hated us from the moment we moved in for no reason at all. She taught her grandchildren to bang on the walls and would set alarms overnight against our walls and left her dog barking for hours, we never had any peace and it made me unwell with stress. We put the house up for sale and moved into our new (and current) house before the new owners moved in there. We left a tv on volume 100 for those 3 weeks. She text me asking me to turn it off as she couldn’t sleep and would call the police if I didn’t. Simple reply: karma. I didn’t turn it off and she didn’t call the police. I enjoyed the day the new family moved in, hand chosen by me: a family of 8 with very loud hyper children and 2 big guard dogs. I like to think they are making her life hell and she wishes she’d been nice to us.
And my favourite petty but very mean revenge to someone was to send an sti testing kit in the boyfriends name so she thought he was cheating. They split up briefly and I loved every moment of the quiet while it lasted.

At my previous house, our next door neighbour took against us after we objected to his kitchen extension being built, with foundations in our land (I think he thought he could ride roughshod over mere women) and, bearing this grudge, tried his level best to provoke disputes so that he could shout us down. A favourite trick was hemming my car in.
I grey rocked, learning incidentally how to gently manoeuvre my little car out of tight spaces, until I was able to move away.
I was able to put the house on the market without "For Sale" notices being displayed, and it sold quickly; I wasn't concerned for the new neighbour, as he was a big, burly chap. If he had known I was going, I'm sure he would have felt he had "won" and would have been even more objectionable until I left.
Moving day arrived; I was not moving very far away, so the plan was that I would let the removal workers in and leave the keys with them, while I went on ahead to my new home, ready to let them in when they arrived.
As I pulled away from the house, I realised that, due to my old neighbour's determination to to park as close to my small car as possible, although I could reverse out, my parking space was then filled with a thumping great pantechnicon. I told the foreman to take his time, and sailed off, leaving my former neighbour thoroughly hemmed in.
It was a gratifying moment, and I gained a useful facility with car-manoeuvring.

Lol! I don't know, but I googled it and there is an American company currently offering that service...not sure if they do international shipping!

For maximum LOLs you should order 1 per week for at least a month.

Arsehole neighbour complained that if he looked out of his rear windows into our garden he could see my dog and he didn't like dogs. Dog wasn't doing anything, he just didn't like being able to see him
I have a lot of friends who also have dogs and there is a public green area just outside my (and arseholes) front gardens, we gathered there A LOT until arsehole moved

DH and I used to live in a block of 4 flats. We all got on well, friendly and cooperative butnot actual friends. A new couple bought one of the flats and it was clear from the off that the woman hated me; one of those dislike on sight things that happens.

There followed lots of low level passive agression whenever we had to speak.

He parjed his carout the back, and when they went on holiday had his caralarm on. Of course it was activated (probably by our cats) and it went of continuously for two weeks while they were away.

I used to hang trousers on the washing line exactly over the passenger door, so she had to walkinto a crotch when she got out of the car. They were clean butI 'm pretty sure it would have disgusted her.

Not exactly a neighbour issue, and I apologise in advance for anyone who takes offence (not really though, keep yourselves to yourself!), but I seem to be a target for a certain type of religious people. They come in pairs, they ignore the sign on the door saying 'no cold callers' and they just stroll on in if the door is open because of work people doing their thing and are in and out.

Anyway, I got a bit fed up, especially after the latest handwritten letter arrived. I carefully took said letter, wrote 'NO THANK YOU' across it, popped it in an envelope with a whole tube of glitter emptied in it.

It's been a year now. Peace!

Wow, I'm glad some people here aren't my neighbours!

A next door neighbour revenge in a roundabout way, my Dad discovered his partner was cheating on him with ..the neighbour. She was a horrible person, hardly worked, was lazy, her children from a previous relationship lived with her parents, she didn't particularly like me, she stole from me (took money out of my purse), but they say love is blind and my Dad was for over 10 years.

However when he found out about the affair my Dad broke up with her they separated and she moved in over the road with the new man. This broke my Dad, who also discovered she had been stealing from him too and she took the dog with her, my Dad loved that dog but she refused to share it.

My dad moved as he couldn't bear to see her with her new partner from across the street.

Her new guy who she had the affair with was a keen gardener, he would shout at people if they were walking by his front garden, as if they were going to tread on his plants, he was out there with a pair of scissors tending to every strand of grass.

So by sheer coincidence about 8 months down the line my friend's new boyfriend at the time worked for his family gardening company who delivered large garden items, so although it cost me a bit of money ( I was 18 at the time so only had a weekend job), I paid to have a ton bag of manure dropped off onto their front garden, all the paper work had her name on it, her signature (I forged it really well). My friend's boyfriend simply raised the order and input on the system as far as he was concerned it was a genuine order except he knew it wasn't.

Of course my Dad's ex and her new boyfriend were hugely pissed off, his precious front lawn was damaged as it took a while for him to get the bag of manure moved, a think a few plants also went under the bag.
The company (friends' boyfriend) said it was a no return item.

Worth every penny and all the organising to get it done.

A few years down the line, I was at a local pub and a family member of my Dad's ex was there, (her cousin) she was a bit tipsy, said she had really liked my Dad and me, was sad how things had worked out, her cousin (Dad's ex) was now having to work but was also claiming all the benefits under the sun as her partner refused to subsidise her.

Guess who called the benefits agency the following week.

No regrets at all.

Brilliant!

Ours hates us. I don't know what we've done to upset her but there is a lot of glaring and muttering whenever she sees us. I'm always sure to have a big smile on when she approaches and greet her very loudly and warmly, and encourage the kids to do so too. Love it. She visibly seethes.
