Ever had a noisy neighbour who tests your patience? One Reddit user certainly did, and she decided to turn the tables with a dash of creativity! Living in shared accommodation is all about mutual respect, but sometimes you encounter someone who pushes the boundaries a bit too far.
Enter ‘Sarah’—not a bad person, just fond of blasting music at ungodly hours, leaving everyone else tossing and turning. “Every night she’d blast music at 1 or 2 am,” shared Redditor Lesleysmith09, who was juggling early classes and loud midnight tunes. Kindly requests to turn the volume down only led to Sarah cranking it up even higher!
After one too many sleepless nights, Lesley devised a brilliant plan. She knew Sarah had a notorious aversion to early mornings, often sleeping in till noon. A perfect opportunity for a little payback!
Lesley set her alarm for 6:30 am, blaring the cheesiest pop tunes through her Bluetooth speaker aimed right at the thin wall they shared. Think early 2000s bubblegum pop! Day one saw Sarah stumbling out, looking groggy and furious. By day three, she was begging for mercy, but Lesley stuck to her guns with a cheeky “relax.”
Remarkably, the late-night noise vanished after that week. A victory in silence, although Sarah never openly admitted defeat. Who said a little petty revenge doesn’t pay off? 😏 Have you ever dealt with a noisy neighbour? How did you handle it? Share your stories below!
