Entitled neighbor refuses to fix beeping alarm, frustrated dad gets his kids to make it stop: 'Cut the wires'

Is there anything more frustrating than the incessant beeping of an alarm, especially when you can't seem to stop it? 

I vividly remember staying in an Airbnb when in the middle of the night, at 2:30 AM in the morning, an alarm started beeping out of nowhere. It was not a frightening one, like when there's an intruder. It was the soft but painfully annoying alarm that sounds when it's out of battery and you have to replace it. At first, you try to ignore the sound and go back to sleep, but then, you realize that's an impossibility. It's time to stop the alarm, but in this instance, the issue was that I had absolutely no idea where this alarm was since this home was unfamiliar to me. Let's just say it took me an hour to find the source of the beeping. 

So, I understand the varying degrees of frustration that come with an alarm beeping incessantly. With that in mind, I can't help but empathize with this Redditor, who ordered his kids cut the wires to his neighbor's alarm out of spite. Keep scrolling below for the full story.
