Sometimes in life, it’s best to just keep your mouth shut and not complain about the little things…

Because if you do, something even worse might happen!

If your next door neighbor complained about the noise you were making in your own yard, would you stop being so noisy, or would you find another way to annoy them?

Check out how this Reddit user maliciously complied when a pushy neighbor complained…we think you’ll be impressed!

My neighbor gets what she deserves.

“During the pandemic I have found peace by sitting in my garden watching YouTube videos and scrolling Reddit. I always sit on my swing chair.

A swing chair is a chair mixed with a swing so you sit and swing without annoying chains or having to go out. My swing chair has been through a lot, so much so to the point where if you sit on it, it squeaks a bit.

I like the squeaks though, so I keep using it.

My neighbor can’t stand my family. Ever since my mum, my brother and I moved in to my now step-dad’s house. She especially dislikes me for some reason.

What the hell?!?!

One day my parents got the day off from work so we were all home.

I was out on the swing chair listening to music using headphones.

All of a sudden a bucket gets thrown over the fence and almost hit me.

I jumped and took off my headphones. I asked “Who did that?”

Talk about an unreasonable request!

My neighbor responded with “Stop swinging on your chair. You’re distracting my children and making them jealous. Either stop, or give it to me!”

I asked “How am I distracting them?”

She replied with ” The sound makes them look through the hole they made in the fence.”

I said that I’d stop.

It was time to have some fun…

Here is the malicious compliance.

I stopped going on my swing chair and instead picked up an old hobby of mine, drumming. I played it so much that my family would sometimes have to speak louder to talk to me.

This is where it gets weird though.

She then phoned my personal phone that I have never give the number to anyone except my close friends.

This sounds kind of creepy.

Apparently she had gone to my mum’s Facebook, searched for a pic of me and my friends, found my best friend’s number by some means and posed as my aunt asking for my number so she could check up on me.

She called me yelling at me to stop drumming.

I said why and she said because of the noise. I said that she said that I had to stop swinging so I took up a hobby.

She hung up.

I now go on my swing chair, play drums and play drums with my brother on his guitar.

Revenge is best served cold.”

Asking a neighbor to stop using a swing because her kids are jealous is pretty unreasonable.
