PEOPLE ARE LOVING THE CLAPBACK 11:16, 31 May 2025Updated 11:17, 31 May 2025 A man has been praised for his 'petty revenge' on a neighbour who persistently leaves their dog barking


outside throughout the night. He detailed how the incessant barking disrupts his sleep and despite pleading with his neighbour to address the issue, the neighbour merely laughs it off and


refuses, the Mirror reports. In an attempt to teach him a lesson, he decided to retaliate against his 'entitled' neighbour. Sharing his story on Reddit, 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 world. 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." To which the annoyed neighbour responded: "Cool. Then I'll do mine." _LOVE

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." The man finished his post on Reddit by noting: "Hasn't barked at night since. Sometimes the best revenge is pressing play." Article continues

three hours. Another user added: "Wonderfully petty - and effective - love it!" Someone else shared their father's clever approach: "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. " Another user described a creative solution: "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 dog would chase the beam of light and jump 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." Another user added: "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." Article
