    "I stuffed trash through their mail slot"
  • 02
    The pettiest thing I have ever done
  • 03
    I'm a 34 year old man who runs a marketing agency here in the UK that employs 5 people. I also pride myself on being fairly rational, empathetic and level-headed.
  • 04
    I'm saying this for no other reason than to underscore how out of character this was for me. I live in a small house in a mostly student area. For the
  • 05
    most part it's fine - the students in the nearby houses have the occasional house party on Friday/Saturday nights, but never on weekdays,
  • 06
    and until recently they've usually finished by midnight so it doesn't bother me. This new bunch of guys that moved in next door in November have been absolute

    d heads though. House parties until 5am on weekdays, letting random friends park on my driveway without asking, heckling/making fun of me as a group when we're both outside, all the good stuff. I've
  • 08
    just rolled my eyes and ignored it for the most part, but I'm still human, so the constant disrespect still pes me off.

    A couple weeks ago, however, I was working next to my window. I saw one of them taking a bin bag full of rubbish outside, and realising there

    was no space in any of their bins, just walk into my driveway and put it in mine. For some reason, despite it being far from the worst thing
  • 11
    they've done, that just irritated the ...... out of me. I don't know why that was the straw exactly; just something about the combination of both the

    arrogance, and the presumptuousness of it combined with this bubbled up resentment from all their nonsense til now really got under my skin. you'

    So a week later I woke up at 4am on a non-party day when I knew they'd be asleep, grabbed a random bag of the nastiest rubbish I could find from someone's bin down the
  • 14
    street (so there's nothing to point to this being me), and went to their house. In the UK, mail is delivered through your door into your house via a postbox that's freely
  • 15
    accessible. So... I painstakingly posted all of this absolutely disgusting rubbish through their letterbox. It took me a solid 20 minutes, as I had to take multiple fresh air breaks
  • 16
    to avoid throwing up. Then just to seal the deal, I emptied a bottle of milk through as well, just to make it extra fun for them to clean up in the morning, and taped a note

    saying 'stop talking to my girlfriend' to their door to further minimise the chance of retaliation. Having seen the entrance area of their house from knocking on the door in the past, I know it's carpeted.

    I've never done anything like this in my life, and it might have been a bit much, but I do feel a lot better now.

    OCC767 hr. ago Listen. Not saying what you did was right, BUT I'm actually proud of you for doing something wrong. Because sometimes just being proactive (whether
  • 20
    it's negative or positive!), puts you back in the driver seat of your life and gives you the opportunity to feel empowered. Sometimes We just have to take it where we can get it. And do keep us posted!!!

    baka-tari · 8 hr. ago Nicely done. TBH, if that sort of trashy response is typically out of character for you, it only makes sense to milk it for all it's worth.
