How do I annoy my neighbors very discreetly?

[t_time]

I have these neighbors they don't like us for some reason. they leave all their lights on around their house at night. they also leave their balcony light on. they know it shines directly into our bedroom. I can't sleep so I put blankets up on the window. how do I get back at them very discreetly? they have been doing this for months now. I can't stand it! help please!

Guerrilla warfare
Have you or your parents spread rumors about miscriant kids in the nieghbor hood. They could be from another street and they come over to yours for what ever reason.
Step 1 small things like taking out that light with an airsoft guy if the lightbulb is exposed.
Next step cause small misfit like dropping a stink bomb in the mail box. do small things that kids would do.
Step 2 complain also make up things like they glued your mailbox shut also.
Step 3 if they don't seem to care then kick it up a bit. Let out their dog when they are not home. Actually glue their mailbox shut. Put a potato in their tail pipe. Do small things but annoying things.
Step 4 look out for installation of security cameras
step 5 be impressed and asked to be shown thier new impressive system. Look on the monitor and see where the blind spots are.
Step 6 pay a few kids to do a small prank, don't let the kids know that you live next door to the target.
Want some more ideas?

[t_time]

hahahha now we're talking thank you for that

[t_time]

Lol we already thought of using our airsoft guns and shoot out their lights. . they have cameras. it's side by side townhouses

[Dim1213]

That is a bit harder. map out where the camera are and how they face. almost all home security cameras have bad blind spots.
Also you probably will go more for hiring kids to mess with them then.

Solution:
Have a General Electric GE90 delivered to you in the overnight hours. Just wait until the next night. If anyone in the neighborhood asks why you have the world's largest jet engine in your back yard, tell them it's an experiment.

During overnight hours when neighbors are asleep, move the GE90 to their back yard. Hook the external ground APU systems to the engine and begin engine startup procedure.

Once the GE90 is started, slowly but steadily increase power to 90% N1 (Takeoff Power). Be sure that the turbofan is very secured and does not damage nearby homes. Be advised that the neighbors and any outside pets or wildlife and vegetation may or may not be sucked into the intake.

That is sure to teach your neighbors a lesson

[RubyTheQueen]

Haha did you try it?

[Absolute_Revenge]

@RubyTheQueen i wish I COULD try it. Id awaken an entire Detroit neighborhood with a single jet engine.

[RubyTheQueen]

You would love to do it. I can see that. But I'll save your idea, because you never know when you'll need it, right?

[Absolute_Revenge]

@RubyTheQueen be advised that a single GE90 costs approximately 24 million.

[RubyTheQueen]

I know, I was just thinking how good actually would be to do that to your annoying neighbours.

[Absolute_Revenge]

@RubyTheQueen that's right. You'll never know when you'll need to fire it up, although you'll have to do the occasional "run-up" every so often.

[Absolute_Revenge]

@RubyTheQueen the neighbors would probably move in rage after that.

[RubyTheQueen]

Worth it

[RubyTheQueen]

Oh yes, they would

lol sounds familiar.. we just put a light on our porch once we finished up window treatments. Didn't know it faced a bedroom. I have a neighbor directly across from me that started a club to hate me in grade school so.

I can see how its annoying but it sounds petty either way. We put up treatments bc its the burbs and privacy isn't easy to come by. You could try a civil discussion or just putting a blackout curtain.

[Natattack21]

I dont think here is a good way to be discreet about it.
Giving the person satisfaction that they know they are bothering you is too much and a waste of precious time that could be used on other things.

Honestly, just buy some black out windows, problem solved.

[t_time]

true

[Anonymous]

Have you asked them to stop leaving their lights on at night, especially the one that shines directly into your window? Are you sure they even know?

[t_time]

trust me everyone is these town houses told them at strata meetings to stop they won't do it

[Opinion Owner]

Oh wow ok... then if they won't let you sleep, don't let them sleep. At all hours (day and night) BLAST loud metal music at their house. Something really loud and chaotic. Do you know when they sleep? Because leaving the lights on all night makes it sound like they're up all night. Whenever they're sleeping... loud obnoxious music, something impossible to ignore. Just aimed at their bedroom. Could you maybe find a big, bright spotlight to aim at their bedroom window? See how they like it?

You could get some dried beans, or something softer than rocks, and just repeatedly throw them at their windows enough to keep them awake.

You can also leave stinky trash on their porch... nothing that would come back to you, but like rotting fruit and such. Something really smelly that would be hard to clean up. If you wanna REALLY make the point, you could put the rotting fruit in a basket and type a note like "from the neighborhood... thanks for being such considerate neighbors"

[t_time]

that's what I was thinking but it's snowing and cold no one has their windows open. lol all good ideas. or a mirror. the trouble is they have cameras everywhere. I was thinking maybe a Lazer pointer. Nothing to get the cops called I just want little ways to annoy them

[Opinion Owner]

Or you could play a long game just to screw with them. In the middle of the night draw occult symbols on their porch in chalk. Make a crop circles in the snow in their front yard. The next night, leave a jar of chicken feet on one side of their porch and a bag of feathers on the other. It doesn't need to actually mean anything, just random shit that seems occult - related. Leave a pentagram on their front door in chalk. Another night you could leave a circle of natural stones around their mailbox. And then the next night, paint their mailbox in fake blood (stage blood). Shit like that... just make sure you stay out of the range of their cameras, or wear black and a mask ;)

[Opinion Owner]

Then start having something creepy (like porcelain doll heads, no bodies) delivered to their house every day, and twice on Sunday lol

[natured]

Just have some REALLY REALLY LOUD > intercourse < lol...( I DID THIS ONCE we have weird neighbors too)

[akadatank44]

Well thats shitty! XD maybe they are Packer fans 😜 cut their power maybe? Lowkey serious😂
Can you ask them? Or they like those neighbors that no one gets along with? Somehow hack into there electric panel. You could shine something in their windows! Haha

[t_time]

they are neighbors that like to try to control everyone in the townhouses. but when they don't get their own way they do little things to annoy everyone. they tried to get everyone to leave their outside lights on. everyone else said no because the houses are too close together and it will be too bright. unfortunately for me their balcony light is directly in front of my bedroom window

[akadatank44]

So can you call the management group that owns the property? Or is there like a landlord or someone on staff that overseas it? I'd take it up with them.

[t_time]

no everyone owns their own townhouse

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Can you use mirrors to defect their light back into windows of their house

[Izumiblu]

I like this guys idea... or get a dog that barks... freaking constantly. Or save yourself the trouble of taking care of a dog and just aim speakers at the neighbors house and put a recording of a dog barking on loop. Then contact all of your local church groups and leave your neighbors name and number and tell them "you" would like to talk to them about joining their church... the 6th day adventists and Latter Day Saints will never leave them alone.

[Izumiblu]

7th day Adventist...

[t_time]

best suggestion yet!

[dolemite68]

start ordering pizzas and have them sent to their house all the time haha

[t_time]

lolol that's great!!

[singlebee]

Turn in music on high volume till they get pissed...

[t_time]

I was thinking that but their windows are closed. its snowing here

[singlebee]

Ohhh well throw shit in their lawns... Or Windows haha

[Savatar]

Go up very early and ring the doorbell and knock on the doors until they wake up.
They won't let you sleep, you don't let them sleep.

[BellePepper]

A lot of people keep lights on outside to deter burglars. Have you tried black out curtains?

[t_time]

yah but you don't understand! they do this on purpose. we live in a safe small town where no one locks their doors or anything. these people are just plain mean to everyone

[BellePepper]

I have a neighbor across the street who has a halogen bulb shining right into my room. But I put down my blinds, close the curtains, and sometimes wear a mask. Problem solved.

Like I get being annoyed with neighbors but you have to save being angry for times when there aren't solutions.

[GabrielRomanovich]

I'd say buy dark/Thick curtains, had the same problem when I was living with my cousin the dark curtains solved the prob.

[Sadly_It_Fell_Off]

How juvenile and petty of them. I would not go down the route of trying to annoy them but take legal action/advice instead.

[Jan1ssary_]

Tell your husband to do the speech, make him beat the shit out of the man of the other house.

Problem Solved. 😎

[t_time]

Lol I don't want to end up in jail

[Decentguy]

just take a baseball bat and break those lights
if i were you, i would've been kicked their ass

[t_time]

I don't want to go to jail

[Decentguy]

well then do the same maybe? or when they are sleeping, ring their door bell or throw a rock at their window

[Lucifer_666]

You shouldn't get back at them. Just talk to them and ask them to stop leaving the lights on

[t_time]

been there done that

[Lucifer_666]

Okay, but you still shouldn't stoop to their level. Call the police on them perhaps and tell them that you're been harassed

[Trendy13]

Play strange music really loud!

[t_time]

I was thinking of it but it's winter and snowing

[Trendy13]

Yeah and my car decided it wouldn't start at the bank drive through in the cold. how embarrassing.

[AnaWryneck]

Buy curtains keep the piece

[BPTDK]

Becomes friends with them

[t_time]

they are in the 40/50 age range trust me we tried to be nice to them and they just don't want any part of it. they want to control everyone in the townhouse units. it's not just us they have a problem with no one likes them because they are mean people.

[BPTDK]

Is that what they told you themselves?

[Anonymous]

Loud sex! You've gotta do it! :D

[DanFlingwing]

Shit in there yard
