What a good neighbor should be like
Everyone has their own idea of what a good neighbor should be, and often they can be completely opposite. Most often there are two most preferable options:
Invisible Man
He leaves early and returns home late, or is mostly silent in his apartment. In general, you see him very rarely, you forget what he looks like, and sometimes you even suspect that he has moved to another area. There is never loud music coming from his apartment, no one is stomping around there, and besides, no noisy companies visit the “elusive” neighbor. You don’t know his name and are convinced that he has no idea about your name or the details of your life. Having met by chance, you barely say hello or completely ignore each other, and these two options suit you quite well.
Almost a relative
Such a neighbor is always friendly and open to communication. He may suddenly drop by for matches or salt, bring you a piece of homemade pie as a treat, and the like. He asks you in detail about the successes of your children or other relatives, is interested in your work, and willingly shares information about himself. He is aware of all the news in the area and is ready to share them with you. You always have something to discuss, and you are glad that such a sociable neighbor lives next to you.
Of course, for any person the option to which he considers himself will be closer. If you are not interested in your neighbors' lives, then you will not want them to show any interest in you, and vice versa.
What to do if the police don't deal with noisy neighbors
The inaction of law enforcement agencies can be dealt with by contacting higher authorities or higher officials. Write a complaint to the head of the police department, and if he does not react in any way, then contact the prosecutor’s office. Usually two or three requests are enough.
See our other article on collective complaints, there are many forms and sample statements there.
The prosecutor's office is a very serious body, however, and its employees cannot always help, just like police officers, they can be inactive. The final authority is the court.
How to understand that your neighbors have gone beyond what is permitted
Noise, stomping and loud music.
In most cities in the CIS countries, the law establishes a rule according to which it is not allowed to disturb the peace of neighbors from 11 pm to 7 am. It makes no difference - we are talking about a private house or an apartment in a high-rise building. If you see that it is night outside, and the arrow has already crossed the threshold of the permissible limit, then you can safely call the police. Such a violation of the law threatens your neighbors with a fine. Just in case, find out during what period it is prohibited to make noise specifically in your city, so as not to get into trouble.
Repair work
at night or on weekend mornings. However, a similar rule applies here and the same liability threatens. Are your neighbors making noise at inappropriate times, thereby disturbing your peace? Well, write a complaint against them!
Small dirty tricks
— they don’t clean the corridor or section, they constantly litter, they smoke a lot, leaving cigarette butts everywhere, etc. First, try to influence them with a simple warning, explaining why you should not do this. If your arguments are unconvincing, you will have to take more serious measures. In almost every entrance there are activist grandmothers who are ready to deal with any lawlessness. If they still haven’t paid attention to the dirty tricks your neighbors are doing, it’s time to discuss this issue with them and get advice on what method of influence to take. Surely, you will be able to assess their awareness of this issue and get help.
How to take revenge on a neighbor who is a motorist
This topic is worthy of becoming the main issue for an article on psychiatry. A scratched car, an occupied parking space, a howling alarm, etc. But how can you take revenge on a neighbor who is a motorist who breaks the rules:
a great way to make a hint is a brick on the car (you just need to put it down). This will be enough for the first warning. You can even place a newspaper under the pebble to show your intentions. If this doesn't work, then place the brick directly on the car; Another option is to sprinkle the car with crumbs and cereals. All the birds will gather for a treat, and unsightly scratch marks from claws and beaks will remain on the machine. The intruder will quickly understand the hints; this method works best. Silicate glue is mixed with sand and smeared on the windshield. The glue dries and you can't wash it off, so your neighbor will have to replace the glass and you can put your mind at ease. After this, it is unlikely that anyone will not understand the hint.
The neighbors are fed up with what to do to teach them a lesson.
Constant partying, alcohol and a sea of guests
If this happens at night, then call law enforcement - they will be able to sort out the situation. If this option is excluded for some reason, then try to act more radically - unscrew the plugs, ending their fun on a high note.
Neighbor - Grandma Gossip
Feed her absurd information. If she doesn’t communicate with you, then talk to friends who can do it. Let them come to her one by one (of course, she should not know that these are your “envoys”) with incredible information: her neighbor Lyuba is a refugee who is wanted by her native state, her neighbor Vitya is conducting secret experiments, and the like. Make sure that the information is conveyed as truthfully as possible and without witnesses. Soon after her fantastic stories, no one will take her seriously, which means that her gossip will lose its previous effect.
Playing a musical instrument or singing
If it is not possible to reach an amicable agreement, then the neighbors will have to respond “in the same coin”, and when they least expect it.
Own a dog that barks constantly
This problem can be resolved very quickly. There is a whistle that only animals respond to. Now your neighbors will have to worry about the problem of barking - start “giving signals” to the dog while its owners are sleeping sweetly. Surely, after such “tricks”, they will finally take the dog to a dog handler and he will instill in it basic standards of decency.
Floods very often
If such a situation occurs with enviable frequency, then one can only sympathize with your nerves. in the case when such a story occurs due to the fault of neighbors, and we are not talking about problems related to the operation of joint property, it is worth making an attempt to resolve this issue without outside interference - the “offenders” should compensate you for the damage caused by the accident. Did your arguments have no effect? This means that you should go to court and solve the problem in this way. And if you prove that such situations happen regularly, then the neighbors risk being evicted.
How to annoy: sounds for upstairs neighbors
Method 1
The enemy must be beaten with his own weapon - a well-known truth. Try to annoy your neighbor with his own noise!
- Make an audio recording of noise coming from your neighbors. Collect a larger “collection”, and then, using a special program, a large selection of which is available on the Internet, edit the “track”. If you don't know how to do this, play the same recording on repeat.
- Then install the speakers closer to the ceiling or to a shared wall (for those who live “through the wall”) and turn on the recording at full power! It’s better to leave home for a while so as not to go crazy in such an environment.
Method 2
Do your upstairs neighbors love music and you also have to be a music lover, since the equipment screams almost in the ultrasonic range? Maybe they even purchased a percussion instrument? To all your requests to make it quieter and reminders that this is not a nightclub, there is no response?
- Strike back and give them a concert performed by you! Let them listen to the exquisite composition that you will perform on the radiators! The sound will be especially loud if you use metal objects, even if you knock with a spoon.
- It is possible that your downstairs neighbors will “pop in” and hear the “concert.” Apologize and honestly explain the reasons for your behavior, complain about uncontrollable music lovers. Who knows, maybe in your downstairs neighbor you will find a like-minded person who will agree to play the batteries “four hands”?
Method 3
Take revenge on your neighbors with a pot of water placed on a cabinet or shelf under the ceiling. Install it so that the edges are pressed tightly against the ceiling.
Place headphones on the pan and connect them to a music center or computer. And turn on the music at full blast. It turns out to be an improvised vibrating column, while your apartment will be quiet, which cannot be said about the neighbors above.
Method 4
You can not only take revenge, but also survive your neighbors with the help of ultrasound. There are devices designed to repel rodents and insects with ultrasound. The sound of the device resembles the squeak of a mosquito.
If you are well versed in technology, then by “conjuring” the device, you can ensure that the unbearable squeak will be picked up by the human ear. It is extremely difficult to exist in such an atmosphere.
Revenge on neighbors who interfere with a peaceful life and constantly make noise
The neighbors live upstairs.
You can take revenge on troublemakers without going beyond the law. First, try knocking on the battery - often this trivial method turns out to be very effective. You can also tap the mop on the ceiling. Are your neighbors ignoring you? Take the time to do this as a last resort: post advertisements in the area about your neighbors’ apartments for rent at an attractive price. Indicate their number and note that you can call at any time, and late evening is even preferable. You can also indicate the address - just to be sure.
Neighbors live downstairs
. Similar revenge will be effective against the neighbors below. But it is easier for them to take revenge in other ways - by rearranging the furniture at the “allowed” time, by stomping, jumping.
How to take revenge on your neighbors below
For those who are looking for ways to take revenge on their neighbors below, we have prepared the most common and interesting ones:
it is easier to take revenge on such neighbors than on those above. Just move the furniture, dance, clean the apartment, jump, turn on the music; fill them up! Then they will certainly come running, but you can pretend that everything is dry with you; pour a raw egg into a syringe, then pour this miracle liquid into the upholstery or door frame. The egg will start to smell after a while. The neighbors will love it.
How to survive noisy neighbors without harming yourself
Punish using a vibrating column
Do your neighbors like to listen to music loudly and do not respond to your requests to stop this torment? Buy a vibrating speaker and start turning it on at the time permitted by law. Choose a repertoire that is clearly not to the taste of your neighbors (you have undoubtedly managed to study their preferences)
Mischief the car owner by ruining his car
You can choose a lighter version - break a few eggs on the windshield of your car. If you understand that such revenge is not enough in your case, then you can puncture a tire, scratch the door, or pour cans of paint on your car.
Get revenge by breaking the lock or shitting under the door
To do this, it is enough to push needles into the keyhole and break them off so that they cannot be removed. Most likely, now the offender will have to change the lock.
This is a completely savage revenge, and, perhaps, is only suitable if the neighbor is a truly disgusting person. However, in this case too, dog excrement is enough. But do not forget that your neighbor may have a video camera, which will turn into a problem for you.
Get by telephone or doorbells (at night and early in the morning)
You can do this yourself or ask local boys to do such dirty tricks, paying them “for their troubles.” It is better to do this through a third party so that you are not exposed.
Annoy in other ways
Fill the syringe with a raw egg, after which the contents of the syringe should go into the upholstery of the neighbor's door. Undoubtedly, the smells that will eventually wander near the apartment will prompt the neighbors to some thoughts.
Taking precautions, place an ad on a dating site, creating a profile there in the name of your neighbor, and indicating that he is looking for a man for a serious relationship. Surely this situation will infuriate your enemy. However, things may turn out in a completely unexpected way for you, and you will improve your neighbor’s personal life, which will also benefit you.
Teaching your dacha neighbor a lesson - good advice
If your dacha neighbor acts dishonestly towards you, then throw saltpeter on his plantings. Such “fertilizer” will undoubtedly spoil his entire harvest.
Do you have the opportunity to sneak into your neighbor’s property unnoticed, and you know for sure that he has a toilet on this property? It's just a matter of little things - throw a pack of yeast directly into the toilet, into the pit, without skimping (choose a kilogram pack). Soon your opponent's yard will be filled with indescribable smells.
Scatter seeds of weeds and plants that grow quickly and are difficult to remove on your neighbors' property. If the beauty of his yard is important to him, now he will have to spend more than one hour putting things in order.
How to take revenge on your dacha neighbors
Yes, even in dachas there are harmful neighbors. Either they plant a tree that casts a shadow on your garden, or they breed pests, or they throw a party. We offer the most popular ways to take revenge on your dacha neighbors:
The simplest method is to disperse the herbicide onto neighbors' gardens. The young shoots cannot withstand such persecution, and the neighbors will not know who did it. In addition, you can douse the planting with saltpeter. Plant growth is disrupted by it; Another option is to destroy trees. To do this, simply make a hole in the trunk and pour in the herbicide; You can make a tree die by driving in a copper nail. Just hammer it into the trunk, the nutrition will be disrupted and the tree will wither, and the neighbors will not know the true reasons. The main thing is to act quietly so as not to be caught; if your dacha neighbors are not fans of gardening, but are disturbing you with constant gatherings, drinking and noise, then there is a special way to solve this. A packet of yeast is thrown into the toilet (which is outside). After a couple of hours they will begin to ferment, and for this there is enough substrate in the toilet. As a result, all this will begin to increase in volume, grow and flow out of the toilet with a terrible smell. It's hard to keep the party going amid this.
As you can see, there are many ways to take revenge. But still, you should always try to find a verbal solution to the problem, and resort to such measures only in extreme cases.
Calm neighbors through dialogue and courtesy visits
Before starting “military actions” you must be completely sure that no other civilized methods have any effect on your neighbors. A long confrontation with neighbors is often quite exhausting, and if it can be avoided, then it would be foolish not to take advantage of this opportunity.
So, call your neighbors and ask when they have a chance to talk to you. Tell them that you can visit them yourself or that you would be happy to host them as a guest. Having agreed on a meeting, buy delicious pastries, brew tea and wait for guests (if you are expected to visit, take the pastries with you). Over a cup of tea, explain to the troublemakers what you want from them and see if they are willing to make any compromises. Tell them exactly what inconvenience you are experiencing because of their behavior and ask them to treat this with understanding. After such a polite visit, more or less adequate people significantly reconsider their attitude towards their neighbors!
How to resolve conflicts with neighbors
But before starting active hostilities, it is better to try to come to an agreement with your neighbors, try to resolve the conflict with words. And such a conversation needs to be carried out following some rules:
You don’t need to immediately react to loud sounds and the noise of a hammer drill; don’t immediately knock on the radiator or the ceiling. Try to talk calmly at first; if the noise continues for a long time and greatly annoys you, then contact the offenders and try to calmly explain to them that their behavior is disturbing other residents. Sometimes people don't realize that they are making others uncomfortable. In this situation, conversation helps resolve the issue;
the question of how to repay neighbors without breaking the law is decided by law. If they make noise after 10 pm, but do not listen to calm remarks, then call the police and warn your neighbors about it. If you were flooded or suffered other damage, then feel free to file a lawsuit; even if people are constantly making repairs, listening to music all day long, and the rest of the time they are active and loud, then it is worth thinking not about methods of revenge, but about soundproofing the apartment.
The latter method will certainly help get rid of quarrels and conflicts, unnecessary stress and nerves, and will reduce heat loss in your nest.
Rules of conduct for an avenger
Any war with a neighbor must be limited by rules, otherwise you can cross the border and not notice how the status of “victim” has turned into offenses.
A few rules of revenge to keep in mind:
- maintain anonymity - open confrontation with neighbors is not necessary, because they may have a reason to write a statement,
- you shouldn’t start with radical methods - perhaps one warning will be enough,
- along with the dirty trick, do not forget to leave a note explaining your actions,
- You shouldn’t get personal, much less pester your opponent’s relatives,
- do not cross boundaries - do not damage the property of your neighbor below or above and do not create life-threatening situations.
Small dirty tricks
Small dirty tricks can be an excellent answer to the question of how to take revenge on noisy neighbors above. This is a forced measure that should be used if negotiations with noisy citizens at the top are ineffective.
3 effective ways to misbehave:
- Attach a radio point to the ceiling, turn it on and leave the apartment. The radio has the ability to automatically turn off at 12 o'clock at night and turn on at 6 am.
- You can publicly shame troublemakers by using printouts with the slogan “We ask for silence.” Don't forget to indicate the number of the apartment where the harmful neighbors live.
- If the neighbors have a door with upholstery. Shake a raw chicken egg in a bowl and collect it in a syringe. Make an inconspicuous cut in the casing and pour the mixture there. The rotten smell will be unbearable and intruders will be forced to completely clean the front door.
The main thing in such a matter is to take revenge without crossing the boundaries of what is permitted. If you overdo it, the violators will receive the status of victims by filing an application with the local police officer or in court.
