Some neighbors just can’t resist sticking their noses where they don’t belong.

This neighbor seems to find fault with every little change this homeowner makes. But sometimes, a hammer and a few well-timed nails can send a message louder than words.

Read on for the full story!

Keep complaining about my aviary. Now I’m hammering away in the back garden.

So I volunteer as a vet tech with an animal rescue and I often bring home birds to treat.

I set up the outside scullery by the front entrance as a medical aviary as it was completely bricked in and we put roofing over.

But this made them an enemy in the neighborhood.

My one neighbour took great offense to the adjustments that I did to it.

We are not in an HOA and are allowed to change our property, but it didn’t suit her and she complained.

Her complaints were about as petty as it gets.

She also complained that I don’t keep my grass super short but I have wild flowers in it and I love the bees.

Anyway. I’m now building a permanent aviary at the back garden, but I have to hammer away putting up the frame and mesh.

She’s home all the time, so they see plenty of each other.

She runs a small business from her house. Already 2 clients have pulled up and frowned at me.

I’m on a ladder working on the high parts.

Thing is, it’s day time on a week day and I’m doing minor work in my back garden.

So they decide to stick it to their nosy neighbor.

Am I hammering possibly louder than needed? Absolutely.

Will I be using as many nails as possible so it will be the sturdiest structure? Definitely.

Am I taking breaks when there aren’t clients and getting back to work when they roll up…

I’m not admitting to anything.

Take that, neighbor!

What did Reddit have to say?

This user has an idea how how they could be even more annoying.

This homeowner should reserve their right to stay silent.

The bird’s safety is of the utmost importance.

This revenge is great, but it’s missing one thing.

When the peace has already been disturbed, what’s a little extra hammering?

When it comes to all the extra noise, this homeowner pleads the fifth.
