A woman has been praised for her ‘cunning’ revenge on an entitled neighbour who snooped around her house when invited round for a catch-up.
Speaking on his mum’s behalf, her son explained how the women in their neighbourhood take it in turns hosting each other for social evenings every few weeks.
It was his mum’s turn and she’d made sure to clean up the house, lay out snacks and have drinks readily available for all to enjoy.
However, one of their neighbours took this opportunity to snoop around their house – even going into his bedroom.
He said on Reddit: “Every week a few neighbourhood ladies plan a meet-up in any one of their houses.
“Three weeks ago it took place at our home, and my mum caught Judy coming out of my old bedroom when she had left on the pretext of going to the washroom.
“Judy just said she lost her way but she had been in our home before and lost her way into my bedroom?
“My mother let it slide at the time but later had a chat with other ladies who agreed they had also caught Judy snooping around their houses and when confronted Judy got rude and defensive with them.”
Describing Judy as a “self-victimisation and hysterical person”, he says speaking to her about the issue wouldn’t have worked.
Instead, the woman came up with a plan to get their own back on Judy and stop her from snooping around their homes once and for all.
He added: “Last Saturday, when the get together was at Judy’s place, my mother and her friends bought googly eyes stickers and one by one they left the room on pretext of washroom and pasted those stickers all around the house, and later while leaving also on mailbox, door, fence, etc.
“A couple of neighbours had quite a show of her breakdown on Sunday going in and out, up and down her house looking for more stickers and removing them, pretty sure the plan worked.”
Commenting on his post, one user said: “Next time she’s at one of the ladies houses, and wants to go to the washroom, get them to say ‘Fine! I’ll show you the way as I believe you get lost in other people’s houses!, go with her and wait to bring her back.”
Another user added: “One of the best ‘don’t snoop; stories was told by a friend. His parents had friends over regularly, but his mum thought one neighbour was snooping through the house.
“Before the next party, his dad took the medicine cabinet off the wall, cleaned it out, and filled it with ping pong balls. He then hung it up again.
“Sure enough, the neighbour came back from a trip to the bathroom real subdued. His mum checked and asked about the medicine cabinet. The neighbour turned red and said something about ‘looking for aspirin’.”
A third user said: “Googly eyes are the best invention since toasted bread slices.”
