You don't really get to choose your neighbors. All you can do is try your best to be a good one and hope they will, too. Unless they’re acting like they’re the only residents in the neighborhood. Then, you have probable cause for retaliation.

Redditor u/Robwaudby made a post on the platform, asking, “What’s the worst thing you have ever done to an annoying neighbor?” And people immediately started replying with their stories—as if they were just waiting for someone to confess to. 

From destroying lawns with bouillon cubes to filling locks with superglue, here are some of the most memorable stories of revenge on neighbors from the more than 6,000 comments the post has received.

Hope The Dog Wasn’t Punished…

a green lawn near the porch My wife and I had a neighbor who hated us because their family friends who went through a divorce lived there before us, and we bought the house. They were mean to my wife, parked across our driveway when she was about to go to work, threw pieces of wood over our fence, and let their dog cr*p on our lawn without picking it up. I tried talking to them a couple times and was promptly told to f-off. The husband used to brag about his lawn to everyone, so the next time it rained, I threw an entire box of bouillon cubes into their backyard and let the rain melt them into the grass. Their dog absolutely destroyed their yard looking for the smell, and I would make sure to comment on it every chance I got.

Caffinejunkie9 , Robbie Sproule Report

u/Robwaudby usually scrolls through Reddit to see what funny questions people have come up with. This time, however, he was doing the asking. “I was sitting on my sofa watching TV, and like most people, I have an annoying neighbor,” the Redditor told Bored Panda. “She thinks she’s the queen of the street.”

“I thought to myself, ‘I wonder how many stories people have about annoying neighbors?’ That’s when the question came together; I wanted to know how far people go to get back at them.”

u/Robwaudby didn’t expect the post to get 16k upvotes or 6k comments. “Some people are really willing to fight back at an annoying neighbor and really go extreme on them,” the OP said.

“[But I] think most people have good and bad neighbors. Some of the reasons for falling out with them tend to be garden fence-related or simply loud music, something along these lines.”

300+ Pound Boulder

two big stones on the ground My house is right on the corner of an area where the road turns into a T, I had issues with people cutting the corner and driving through my yard( one day someone damn near hit my dog) I went and bought a Boulder probably 300 or 400 pounds and put right on the corner. Come winter and we had a bad snowstorm. Someone was coming through in a lifted dodge and hit the Boulder going about 20 and totaled the truck. Since then though I’ve had 0 issues with people.

12 Hour Music Festival

the guitar on the background of fender twin reverb I had a terrible work schedule and had to wake up at 2:30 to be at work by 4. My downstairs neighbors would blare loud music at all hours of the night, and I could feel the bass through my mattress. I went downstairs and politely asked them to turn it down, and they seemed to kindly agree. As soon as I got back in bed, they turned it up even louder and kept it going until about 1:30. Before I left for work at 3:30, I turned over my amplifier so the speaker was facing the floor, turned the volume up, and set my guitar on top of it. I left for my 12-hour shift, and the feedback was still screaming when I came home. The neighbors never blared their music again.

Love this! When I was in the Army Band, had the same problem. Every jerk in the barracks had a big stereo from those 'Rent To Own' joints. We worked odd hours and always asked if guys would turn down their music- they never would. SO... one day, we brought a giant speaker and amp from the band, put it in my room, hooked up an old 8 track player, stuck in a John Denver tape, cranked it up and left for work for the day. Got back to the barracks and somebody and broken into our room, trashed the speaker and amp and the rest of our room.....Big mistake. The Speaker and amp were US Army equipment. Needless to say, our 1st Sergeant started kicking ass and taking names. Never had a problem with loud music in the barracks ever again....

Same thing happened to me except it was my upstairs neighbors who blasted their music all hours. I put my stereo system's speakers on the shelf in the bedroom closet and blared my music while I was at work. Never heard from them again.

I had a downstairs neighbor who played her music VERY loudly - one time. I turned my huge speakers to the floor and put on my favorite bagpipe music. I could practically see question marks floating around. "What IS that?!" When her music cut out, I turned off mine. She got the message pretty quickly, lol!

We stayed in a hotel once when I was a kid, and a basketball team stayed on the same floor . They yelled, screamed. laughed, and bounced a basketball against the walls and doors of the hallway until about 2:00 in the morning. Despite complaints to the front desk from my father, they would not stop. To get revenge, he started calling their rooms repeatedly around 5 a.m. and did this for at least an hour.

There was a guy in a St Louis complex a few decades ago with the same problem- young people playing screaming rock at top volume in the middle of the night. He mounted speakers on the ceiling, and waited till he was sure they were in bed. Then he turned on a recording that said "we are the bugs. We are crawling all over your bed. This is our place. We survived the bomb and we'll survive you. Get out get out get out......" The youngsters never played loud music over him again and were very courteous to him when they saw him in the lobby, addressing him as "sir" and "Mr. G...."

We had a neighbor go through a break up and the guy took it hard. Got incredibly drunk every night and blared Hank Williams all night. We had to be at work at 6am and we were trying to be understanding. Couldn't talk to the guy because he was blackout drunk every night. My husband got all bent out of shape about it after two weeks of it and went over to bang on the door. He sees our neighbor through the sliding door passed out on the living room floor. The sliding door was open and it was St. Patrick's day so my husband grabs a guinness and puts it next to our neighbors head. Talked to our neighbor two days later and he seemed to be in really high spirits as he told everyone about the St. Patrick's day beer fairy. Worked, guess he decided to stop getting black out drunk, wanted to be awake the next time the fairy showed up.

I had a similar situation where the people below me would throw loud parties with loud music all night. Asking them politely to turn it down did not work. So I turned my speakers facedown on the floor, put on one of Beethoven’s louder symphonies, and started blasting into their party. It worked.

Had a loud, stomping, partying upstairs neighbor once but didn't want to bother the person below me, or get in trouble, playing loud music myself. So I found a loop of really grizzly, hacking, productive-sounding coughing and set up my computer with a speaker in my loft area, on a shelf, aiming at the ceiling. They can't call the cops on you for being sick! It didn't stop his noise but I enjoyed playing it early in the morning after he was partying late.

My husband did the same thing to our downstairs neighbor, who was making me weep with his loud, nasty music and drunken parties. When Hubs hooked the speakers to the TV, a commercial with the PERFECT message came on, LOUD AND CLEAR....”I hate you...Hatred...DEEP HATRED!!!” (It was a guy yelling at his overheated car, that had died in the desert.)

Went outside,cranked up my Suburban,put on 2Live Crew and cranked it up a few notches.

This reminds me of the scene from Treme where Steve Zahn's character (Davis McAlary) was pissed about the gentrification of his neighborhood, so when a gay couple moved in downstairs from him, he would move his speakers onto the porch, dial the volume up to 11 and blare New Orleans Bounce while he was gone all day. (spoiler alert: he ended up befriending said neighbors in the end.)

I have huge problems with bass. I feel it through every fiber of my body and it's agony. I went to a disco once in my life and never again. I spent half of the disco in the toilet crying because I was 100 % convinced that the roof was going to fly off and I had incredible pain in my whole body. Then I apparently fainted and was found by a staff member who took me outside to recover. I lived in a city once and it was a total and utter nightmare. University town, a lot of young students who also love loud parties and I was also just a couple of miles away from a place that held huge concerts. I'd be crying in agony because of the sound. I couldn't hear the music from the concert but I could feel the bass even when lying in bed. Had to move away because it made me suicidal

Similar tale. Neighbors let their dog yap and yap and yap on an early Sunday morning. I finally got up and dragged one 100w Cerwin Vega speaker to one window and the other to another. Put on Led Zepplin II. Cranked it up. just one song. Probably woke up the whole neighbors 10 acres over, but it never happened again.

Reminds me a good one. Few years ago, I was living with a friend. Her neighbor was non-stop harrassing us because of the noise. I mean, if we walked barefoot on the tiles he would come upstairs and tell us we did too much noise, passive-aggressively proposing slippers. He owned his appartement and we were tenants, SO he should have done something about insulation if he was annoyed by the noise of us just being alive. One day we were so pissed we turned the speakers to face the floor and left a loooooong porn playlist before leaving. We never heard of him again.

That can destroy your own speaker tho, they're not designed to have the front completely covered over of course. You were probably saved by the fact that the speaker is not enclosed, so the soundwaves had somewhere to escape. Glad it worked for you tho, I know what it's like to have to work shifts and have crappy neighbours!!

Lights Out

three lanterns on the brick wall Friend had a neighbor who put in a very bright yard light that was pointed at her bedroom window. After a negative interaction when asking neighbor to re aim or dim the light or such, cue theatre stagehands. She put up a parabolic mirror pointed directly at dudes bedroom, used an old projector dowser, and an old lighting board to program a chase sequence that was hours long and repeated. End result was a beam of randomly blinking light that was aimed at neighbors bedroom window. When he complained she let him know that it was his light source and all he had to do was turn off his yard light.

Might As Well Start Charging Him Rent

two houses built closely to each other When I was really young our neighbor (druggy) demanded we move our septic tank because he claimed it was partially on his property. He was a complete jerk about it and kept at it. My dads a really laid back person, eventually even he got mad and had the property line surveyed. Turns out not only was the septic tank on our property, not his, but the corner of his house and part of his drive way was actually on our land. Dad spent the next few months asking him when he was going to move his house off our land.

What Makes a Good or Bad Neighbor?

A survey by Porch, a site that connects homeowners and professional contractors, discovered that the worst neighbors are nosy ones—those who cross the line of a friendly wave to peeping into other people’s yards, getting too personal when meeting at the mailbox, or just a general invasion of privacy.

ADVERTISEMENT

The other top four activities of annoying neighbors include being too loud, not picking up after their pets, parking in someone else’s designated spot, and leaving their children unsupervised. A good neighbor wouldn’t engage in such behavior.

While the people that Porch surveyed called out their neighbors, they also admitted their own shortcomings. 1 in 10 said they sometimes play music too loudly or talk loudly enough that it might annoy their neighbors. 2 in 10 said they don't know the names of any of their neighbors, while 6 in 10 said they know the names of only some of their neighbors.

Birds To The Rescue

a white house behind the wooden fence with palms and the tree nearby Not particularly exciting, but amusing.

We briefly had a neighbor who was a complete jackass. My personal pet peeve was when he would yell at our kids to "shut up" while they were playing in the backyard.

Next to his driveway was a big tree and I noticed he'd throw occasional hissy fits over the birds cr*pping on his car.

One week he was out of town but his car was still in the driveway. Each day I put a heaping pile of berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) next to the tree. He returned home to a car absolutely COVERED in technicolor bird poop.

Noisy Neighbors Revenge

the multi-story building Our neighbors were constantly fighting, would get drunk every weekend, and blasted loud music until 4 a.m. Well, the girlfriend went out of town for a week for a work training, and we saw another girl park outside the house while she was gone. We heard the new girl and the BF going at it very loudly too. So the next time they were being super loud at 2 a.m., we went over to ask them to turn down the music. They both yelled at us to mind our own business. My wife just casually asked, 'Oh, did you get back together? What about that nice blonde girl who was over all last week? Is this a thrupple situation now?' Then we went home and enjoyed listening to them throwing everyone out and having their last fight.

Long-Term Revenge On Neighbor

a wooden fence My grandmother had a neighbor who refused to help her repair the fence between their properties. It was still functional, but falling apart. Any conversation about fixing the fence ended with him saying that it was on her property so it was her fence and therefore she was fully responsible.
My grandmother took a fall and was hospitalized for a few weeks, only to return home and find a new fence built an extra 5 feet into her property and a bill in the mail from the neighbor. He argued with her for months that she owed him, that the original fence was on his property, and that where it was now was the boundary line.

My grandmother got a surveyor and, surprise! The original fence was correct, and the neighbor had taken 5 feet off her yard. At this point she was very old, frail, and tired of fighting her a-hole neighbor. Instead, she let nature take over. She planted blackberries along the back fence, and within two years it was covered. Every year, she’d walk the fence and throw seeds over because, of course, it was still her yard. After five years of fighting, the blackberries had reclaimed her property. She’s been gone for a few years now, but the blackberries remain, her way of haunting her neighbor. He’s tried ripping up the ones on his side of the fence on numerous occasions, but the plants reseed themselves and grow back every year from her side.

Guess Who’s Not Having Any More Parties?

people dancing The rich brats next door always threw loud, drunken parties when their parents were out of town. One Sunday morning, I went out to find the corner of our lot (which was a school bus stop) littered with used condoms. That night around midnight, I gloved-up and collected a bunch of them, snuck into the neighbors' yard, and scattered them around the pool, the garage, and the back door where mom was sure to see them. There were no more parties.

Very Stinky Prank On Neighbors’ Kids

an old wooden outhouse in the yard My great-grandfather was one of the last people in town to get indoor plumbing, so he had an outhouse in his yard. Every Halloween, the neighborhood kids came into the yard and knocked over the building to expose the cesspit. He got tired of it, so one year on the night before Halloween, he moved the building forward and covered the fess with burlap, disguising it in leaves and grass clippings. In the dark, it was almost impossible to tell it was there. On Halloween night, he sat in the outhouse and waited. It wasn’t long after sundown when he heard the wet splat outside as a couple of kids fell into the muck. He lowered a ladder into the cesspit for them to leave after making them promise to never mess with his outhouse again. The kids honored their promise and even spread the word around the neighborhood not to mess with that outhouse any more.

What Can You Do About a Hostile Neighbor?

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Seeking revenge on neighbors can have both positive and negative results; while it might yield some short-term satisfaction, it can also permanently damage your relationship. Moreover, it doesn't solve the underlying issue. Also, just because you have the opportunity to seek revenge on neighbors doesn’t mean that you should. Often, the best revenge is taking the high road. 

Be a bigger person and find ways to address the issue without escalating the situation. Consider having a calm and respectful conversation to express your concerns. Sometimes, not engaging in retaliatory actions can lead to a more peaceful resolution in the long run. That’s what adults do, right? 

For example, what’s the best revenge on smoking neighbors? Talk to them, and tell them your concerns about the smoke. They might not be aware that it’s causing you discomfort. See if you can work out a compromise, like finding a designated smoking area. If the problem persists and becomes a health or safety hazard, check local regulations regarding smoking in shared spaces and consider involving authorities.

5:30 A.m. Battle Of Mower And Metal Chains

a green lawn on the background of a white fence Neighbor used to insist on mowing his lawn at 5:30 am every Saturday morning. He had to drive on our property to access his back lawn and would buzz right past my window with the mower deck down waking me up. I asked him to stop but was brushed off.

One Friday night after working a late second shift I left my dogs chain in the tall grass on our property between our houses. 5:30am Saturday comes around and I woke up to the sound of the mower sucking the chain up into the mower deck. The next weekend I got to sleep in.

Fence Feud: Neighbor’s Complaint Backfires!

close-up white and grey wooden fence My mom's neighbor called the city to demand my mom repair the fence that divided their yards. This lady had been a crab apple for 10+ years, but this move pissed my mom off. The fence did need mild repairs, but my mom was already in the process of getting quotes to fix it and would have done it if the neighbor had just talked to her. When the city contacted my mom and said she had to maintain the fence, she asked if she legally had to have one. Turns out there are rules about maintaining a fence, but not requiring you have one, so my mom paid a contractor to tear it down entirely. The neighbor asked my mom when the new fence would be built, and she said, 'You want a fence? Build it yourself!' A couple weeks later, my mom had a nice new fence, courtesy of one annoying neighbor.

I had neighbors that were constantly parking in my spaces. The last straw was a truck that parked there. I was expecting company and they had no place to park, so I walked from door to door and, when no one claimed it, I had it towed. 15 minutes later, a knock at my door. They said "Why did you have my truck towed?" I said "How did you know it was me?" They said "Because your apartment number is on it." I said "And now you know why your truck was towed....."

A Sticky Situation

septic tank in the ground My grandpa's neighbor's septic tank started leaking into my grandpa's backyard. He repeatedly asked his neighbor to fix the tank and clean up the mess, and the neighbor completely brushed him off. So my grandpa took matters into his own hands. He rigged up a 'plumbing system' in his yard — an upright PVC pipe that pointed at the neighbor's backyard. It was set up to spray the neighbor's own septic waste over the fence and into their beautiful and polished yard. Just like that, the neighbor fixed his septic tank.

two big loudspeakers On my last day in my old apartment, I peed on a plate and stuck it in the freezer. I then waited until it froze, then detached the frozen pee disc from the plate and slid it under his front door so that it would eventually melt on his carpet.

Thanks for three years of loud music at 3 AM every night, neighbour.

Lights Out For A Loud Neighbor

an electrical panel I had a noisy neighbor in the apartment above me. The music was SO loud in the hallway that I couldn't tell which unit it was coming from at first. I knocked on his door and politely asked him to turn it down, but he refused, and I knew I wouldn't get anywhere with him. After a few more days of this, I decided to take action. The laundry room on my floor had all of the electrical panels for individual units clearly labelled. Every time he blasted his music, I would go to the laundry room and turn his power off. I started off with a few seconds (to give the illusion that he blew something), but when he STILL wouldn't put his music lower, I would just shut his power off for hours. I could hear him swearing, but I didn't care. My lease was almost up, and as soon as it was, I was out of there.

I've found that landlords would rather do nothing and lose a good tenant rather than take action and confront a bad one over their behavior.

Revenge On Neighbor Who Dislikes Blue

a light blue house with a white wooden porch My dad was talking to our neighbor about what color he should paint the house, and as a joke he said, 'Well, I might as well paint the old one (house) blue!' The neighbor became almost angry and started going off about how that was stupid and he couldn't do that. Well, that’s the story of how I grew up in a blue house.

Poopy Solution (Not The Dogs Fault)

black and white dog lying on the grass Neighbors dog kept pooping in the front , like they open the front door let him out and he poop in our yard. I asked them like 10x to just clean it up no problem.

They outright refused so for about 2 months I went out picked it up put it in a 5 gallon bucket outside in the back yard when it was full of rain water and poop I walked over and dumped it on the front porch. It actually worked they started cleaning up after the dog. We actually have been cool since then.

A Child Prank On Neighbor

a pink arrow with inscription taped on the pole When I was 10 or so, an old lady was nasty to my brother and I for sitting on 'her' curb. So we got the bright idea to have an estate sale for her. We got up at like 4 a.m. on Saturday morning and put up homemade cardboard garage sale signs with her address on them and 'early birds welcome' in bold letters. We then sat on the curb a little down the street across from her house and watched people bang on the door for an hour or so. The best part is we didn't put a date on the signs, so if she didn't find all the signs, presumably people would keep showing up every Saturday.

A Sticky Van Door

the tube of glue on the table They assaulted my dad because he told them to stop yelling at a woman parked in the road, so I bided my time for a few weeks then filled all the locks on their work van with superglue.

Crossing The Dirty Line

a brown dog standing on the grass near the path We lived in a neighborhood of townhouses. One neighbor let their dogs [poop] all over everyone’s lawn and never picked it up. We tried asking them, we tried picking it up and putting it on their doorstep, but they still refused to do it. My one neighbor decided to get a piece of it and smear it all over the front of the house. After that, they started picking it up.

Pushing The Invisible Limits Of A Man

black dog sitting on the grass There was a really quiet, meek guy on our street, and a neighbor would constantly let their dog poo on his front lawn. He tried all the normal things like pepper on the lawn, motion sprinklers, and little signs, but the dog owner didn't care. Well, one day the guy got so mad, he mashed up and liquified his OWN POO and put it into a super soaker. He followed the man home, then returned in the middle of the night and emptied the super soaker through the man's letterbox. The impact splatter hit the walls, hallway, stairs, ceiling and even reached into the kitchen at the end of the hallway. Apparently the stench was HORRENDOUS.

Snails And Slugs For Being Nosey

very high wooden fence My parents have an extremely nosey neighbour who would just stand at the fence and watch what we do. I mean with her nose resting on the top of the fence. This woman is 60s with kids and grandkids. I found out the other day my dad was in the garden with a shovel. Turns out he throws the slugs and snails in their trampoline and on their veggie plot for being annoying every time they aren’t there. I couldn’t stop laughing at how petty and hilarious this was. Still makes my day.

If her nose was resting on the fence I'd smear some dog poo on the fence.

Yard Work: What Could Go Wrong?

a chainsaw on a snowy ground They would party on weeknights until 3a playing music outside and being loud AF. Cops said there was nothing they could do, so I started doing yard work at 5a. Yard work consisted of me using a chainsaw with a loose muffler to cut up an old tree. It was so loud that I had to wear ear plugs and ear muffs.

So, all your other neighbours who had also been kept up by the parties, then had to deal with your noise too? Better ways to solve this.

Putting Neighbor’s House On Sale

red and white sign with words for sale Years ago, when you could advertise house sales in the paper without too many pictures, my brother put in an ad for his obnoxious neighbor’s house. It was just an exterior picture and was priced about 75K under market as a private sale with the neighbor's phone number. He found out the guy was inundated with calls for weeks but never found out who had listed it.
