Easy enough topic.
I currently have lived in my home for 12-13 years now and have great neighbors.
I have had some horrible neighbors in the past though and plenty of them.
One of the funniest things I've ever done though was living in a rental next to a couple and their two beagles - I can't stand hound dog howling in the city and these two raised cane non stop.
MAYBE after 30+ min of non stop barking in the yard they would finally call them in. I could have dealt with 5-10 min as I have always had dogs but they basically acted as if no one was bothered and didn't care to go to the door to call them in.
One Sunday morning after a 70+ hour week (60 was a minimum back then and 109 was the most I ever logged in one week, but still I was tired) the final straw broke at 6:45am when those dogs started up.
**Keep in mind I wasn't but maybe 24 and full of myself so I'm not proud of it but it was funny a can be. Also my neighbor across the street was a LEO and never said a thing about it.
By 7am with the dogs still going, I had moved my home stereo system to the side man door of my garage that pointed right at their bedroom and turned the volume up to an obseen level.
I went digging thru my CD collection and grabbed NWA out - yea, I grew up on rap, country, classical and enjoy everything inbetween.
Selected "Straight Out of Compton" and let the whole song play - probably woke the whole block up.
From that moment forward, if those dogs started barking they were at the door calling them in damn near instantly roflmao.
Wife was pissed but I got the intended results and was passive aggressive instead of directly telling them where to go
