‘They have now been badmouthing us to anyone who’ll listen which has greatly upset us as its all untrue,’ the user wrote. ‘We are no contact with them but I feel I’m due a little petty revenge act as we’ve risen above them so far.’

The Mumsnet thread was sparked by a British homeowner who revealed they had reached the end of their tether with the people living next door after a number of ‘awful issues’
Fellow users were quick to share their ideas, including some who were speaking from personal experience.
One suggested: ‘My friend once set an alarm clock to go off every few minutes between 5am amd 7am then wedged it against their adjoining bedroom wall before going to Australia for a couple of months…… I was in awe of his subtle revenge for months of selfishness.’
Another posted: ‘DH’s next door neighbour used to play Kanye’s Bound 2 on repeat ad nauseum when we were dating. And it was only a sample, so just the intro. On repeat. All day.
‘I’d like to say she was the teenage daughter but it was the trashy mum. It used to drive me crazy and I said I would rather us hang out at my parents’ house than come over to his.’
Fellow users were quick to share their ideas, including some who were speaking from personal experience, including one person who had to listen to their neighbours play the bongos
A third added: ‘Play the guitar all Saturday and Sunday. My neighbours do this and I want to kill them by 11am on Saturday.’
Others came up with incredibly creative ways she might want to take action, with one writing: ‘If they have a dog, lob a couple of beef stock cubes into their garden before it rains. The dogs will go mental and destroy the garden looking for the meat but the rain will have dissolved the cubes.’
A second suggested: ‘Give their address to plastic surgeons, life coaches and religious organisations to send them spam.’
A third straightforward idea read: ‘Vuvuzela could be amusing.’
Several suggested using animals as part of the plan, including one idea for buying a rooster
However others warned the poster to ‘rise above’ rather than take action, warning that some of the suggestions could constitute harassment. Several added moving home is the only long term solution.
‘Could this ever effect you being able to move if you get into a proper feud though?,’ one person who had been in a similar position asked.
‘Our neighbours are so loud and irritating that we’re moving (sorry new buyers) and we were tempted to do something in retaliation.
‘However, we’ve held off because we knew we’d have to declare and neighbour conflicts to our solicitor and it could be a problem. Could you just think about moving ASAP? We found white noise on Alexa helped a lot with drowning out screaming kids (and parents) You might find your own way.’
Others were the voice of reason and warned the homeowner not to take action in case it backfired. Several pointed out the only long-term solution is to move home
