'My entitled neighbour leaves his dog to bark outside at 3am so I got revenge'

A man has been praised for his 'petty revenge' on a who leaves their dog barking outside all through the night. He explained how the barking keeps him awake at night and despite asking his neighbour to do something about it, the neighbour laughs and refuses.

So, to teach him a lesson, he decided to get his own back on his 'entitled' neighbour. Taking to , he said: "Every night from midnight to 3am his dog would bark non-stop right outside my bedroom. Deep loud echoing barks like he was announcing the end of the . I asked my neighbour twice to bring the dog in. Both times he brushed it off with a smirk and said "he’s just doing his job. Cool. Then I’ll do mine"

With that, he started recording to barking on his phone and played it full volume on a speaker through the wall at 6am to wake up his neighbour. He added: "I repeated that for two mornings. No yelling. No threats. Just his own dog giving him a taste of what I’d been dealing with.

"On day three the dog was inside before 10PM. Hasn’t barked at night since. Sometimes the best revenge is pressing play"

Commenting on his post, one user said: "I had that problem so I’d put my speaker outside on my wall and played 'We Built this City on Rock and Roll' on repeat for three hours. Another user added: "Wonderfully petty - and effective - love it!"

A third user said: "My dad used to get up at 5am to go to work every day. Anytime the neighbour's dog woke him up during the night, they got a knock on the door around 5.30. Dad would just casually let them know he was off to work and their dog woke him up."

One more user added: "When my neighbour's dog wouldn't stop barking out in their yard I took a flashlight and aimed the beam at the side of the house.

"The stupid dog chased the beam of light and jumped all over the house. They would come out and yell King stop jumping! and I would start all over again when they went back in... until they finally brought him in."

A final user said: "Years ago my parents had a tenant who would play disco music at an appalling volume every morning at 2:00 am.

"We begged her to stop and she never did. I finally got fed up with her and my brother and I decided to get back at her.

"We parked a very large first amp at her back door and then I added an additional 30 decibels to the song 'Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead' from the Wizard of Oz and attached my CD player to my brother's guitar amp and then we waited. The next night her music went on and two minutes later, so did ours.

"I thought her shoe was going to explode it was so loud. It blasted out for about two minutes before I heard her yelling she was turning the music off. We had to repeat it a few times, but she eventually got the message."
