Living next door to someone difficult teaches you how to get creative.

When one nightmare neighbor crossed the line one too many times, one fed-up homeowner found a clever way to retaliate without saying a word.

Stop using my bin!

My neighbour is a bit of a jerk.

A jerk and a menace.

He’s an unemployed, benefits scrounger, so fills his day by doing things to annoy me — such as blocking my gate with his bins, leaning over the fence to cut branches off trees, and peeing in the shared alleyway between our houses.

Lately he’s set his sights on a new way to tick off this homeowner.

His latest venture has been to use our bins when his are full.

But finally, this homeowner was ready to exact their revenge.

Driving to work one day a few weeks ago, I passed a lay-by where someone had dumped a load of old furniture and bin bags, and a dastardly, petty plan came to mind.

So they found a clever way to turn the tables.

I printed a couple of labels with his name and address on them and stuck them on some cardboard.

On the way home, I placed them amongst the rubbish in the lay-by.

Soon enough, they started seeing some results from their plan.

I’d forgotten all about it until today, when a different neighbor told me that my neighbor’s wife has been posting rants about receiving a fine for fly-tipping that they “don’t even no nuffin about.”

I must ask him about it when I see him.

After years of petty offenses, one quiet move tipped the scales.

What did Reddit have to say?

This commenter was moved by the sheer ingenuity.

Hopefully this nightmare neighbor won’t make the same mistake again.

What a delightfully fun term, too.

This neighbor was always so quick to dump his problems on everyone else, but this time, it came with a fine.

Funny how the mess finally caught up to him!
