Maybe you could hire some patched local gang members to come and drink beer in your yard. Or get some lady friends with a sense of humour to dress provocatively and spend the day going in and out of your home. Or arrange with local car enthusiasts to park their modified vehicles up and down your street. Or become a foster carer for the SPCA and position scores of cats around your yard. Or cover all your windows with black curtains and place a large, upside-down cross on your lawn. Or dress in an impeccable suit, pick up a bible, and go introduce yourself as the neighbour when people arrive to inspect the property and ask them if they have found Jesus. Or hire a bunch of blond kids, dress them all in white, and have them just stand together and stare at any prospective buyers.

In the vein of therapeutic venting rather than anything actually actionable, 27B/6 seems to have made a career out of annoying neighbours, other local residents, coworkers and landlords and writing it up in a humorous fashion.

MileHighKiwi: Hang your rug over the fence to air-out?


That made me laugh out loud. That's awesome!

I'll tell you what one of our neighbours does...

 

Backyard fires with some wet wood and maybe some plastic garbage. 

 

Some really deep bass music .... it doesn't have to be loud because the bass noise travels through walls due to it's low frequency sound waves. 

 

6 caravans on your section for rent... admittedly the logistics are tricky... but seriously, our neighbour is running a mini-camping ground and doesn't even need consent ( you only need enough toilets).   He likes young brazilian girls so he explicitly advertises for brazilian females for the caravans. I don't know what his wife thinks, but she is bat crazy too (and apparently a witch, that is a thing).

 

With the 6 caravans filled with brazilians, they like to party.  The love to roast marshmallows over open fires too. Young brazilians are the most awful neighbours, what is it with music every day of the week? Probably they are like young kiwis doing their OE in london. 

 

There has been a rape reported on his section, police have been there often. The caravan 'tenants' park their cars on the neighbours driveways. We had a new neigbour once, day after moving in, the bad neighbour poked a sign through his fence saying "don't let your f***n cat s***t on our property.   The new neighbour doesn't even have a cat, and anyway, how do you even incarcerate a cat to your own backyard? 

 

Admittedly, the music has stopped now, probably due to noise abatement notices. 

 

Fortunately this is the back neighbour we don't share road frontage. Their property is probably worth millions but the owner is shabby individual.

Fish oil - anywhere near vents such as heat pumps etc. 

 

Empty a bottle of it under the house.

There's what a friend of mine in the US did which I've mentioned before, life-sized skeleton horses with human skeletons on the back waving at the neighbours, a ring of skeletons sunbathing in deck chairs, skeleton dogs, and many, many many plastic pink flamingos.

 

 

I think venting about it on here is better though, and certainly far cheaper.

Have a LAN party and make sure people are yelling out "I'll kill you at next weeks one!"

Hang signs on your fence

“Vaccinations cause autism!”

“ [insert religious group] meetings every Sunday 8am to 3pm”

Or go down to the local alcohol store and grab a whole bunch of empty beer boxes and stack them on the roadside before every open home and blast the music.

I am imagining my face turning up to a house with a few of these suggestions.

And imagining trying to sell my house with it happening to me. It warms the cockles of my slightly vengeful heart.

That story about the prawns was legit.

And I do know a few ex boy racers still with vehicles....

wellygary:

 

But in all seriousness, You clearly want this guy gone as the owner, so just let him sell the house,

 

 

 

Yes it will grind your gears, but causing a sale to fall through will just mean that he's your neighbour even longer.... 

 

 

So much this. Honestly, lifes too short to worry about W*nkers. He'll be gone soon enough and as far as I am concerned, I'd be going the other way, serve cookies and coffee at his open homes to intice a higher calibre of new owner and get started on the right foot. 

 

If you are a jackhole, the new owner will already be on edge before you even get started. You don't want that.
