Living in a duplex means tolerating the occasional meltdown through thin walls, but one couple took things to the next level.

One renter had endured a couple’s chaos long enough and decided it was time to give them a taste of their own medicine.

The renter found a creative way to use the couple’s own voices against them.

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 nonstop.

I called the police a few times, but they stopped showing up.

One day, the renter noticed something peculiar that set the stage for her revenge.

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.

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.

Now for the good part.

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.

She had found herself some pretty good leverage.

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.

This petty revenge was quite effective.

What did Reddit think?

Maybe this revenge is just what this couple needed to snap out of it.

The ensuing conversations around this must have been hilarious.

Don’t people like this care at all about privacy?

There’s a deep psychological aspect to this.

Ironic how in the end, it was their own voices that shut them up!
