A warring couple are disturbing their neighbours until the small hours with their blazing rows. A post to the r/PettyRevenge Reddit page has witnessed an irate homeowner hunt for a cunning solution to the shouting bouts.
After being informed the police couldn’t assist, the sleep-deprived person revealed what they did to halt it. The nightly quarrels between the pair left the adjacent home battling for rest.
In a post to the forum, members of the public applauded the person for their inventive method of tackling the racket. They revealed how the arguments would continue for hours, and that police were powerless to step in.
Not only were they unable to take action regarding the rowing, they eventually ceased turning up to the property.
It left the incensed neighbour with no option but to seek vengeance.
They penned: “My neighbour’s fighting every night kept me awake. I was living in a duplex next to a couple. Their fights lasted hours every day running long into the night with the guy screaming at the absolute top of his lungs non stop. I called the police a few times but they stopped showing up.
“I noticed in our shared wall that there was a panel you could remove to access pipes in the wall. When I opened it the screaming was even louder.”
This discovery led to a brilliant solution from the Reddit user, who shared their brilliant trick with members of the forum.
They shared: “One day after hours of their screaming I decided to put a microphone on a stick up into the wall cavity. I recorded their fight for at least half an hour. When I listened to the recording it had captured pretty good audio.
“I put my Marshall quadbox (big guitar speaker) up against the shared wall and played their screaming back at them.
“The guy immediately came over banging on my front door. I ignored him and turned it up louder.
“Every time they started screaming I recorded it and played it back to them. After a few weeks of this I didn’t hear a peep out of them.”
Social media users applauded the ingenious approach to tackling the rows, suggesting the neighbours probably remained silent after being left “mortified” by hearing themselves.
One forum member commented: “They must be mortified listening to their own stupid b******t.” Another remarked: “Literally gave them a taste of what they were dishing out!”.
A third commended the decision to replay their disputes, stating: “Awesome!
“Now they know exactly how they sound to the outside world. It’s likely they are humiliated and now they will keep their fights to a minimum lest they are recorded and played back for all to hear.”
