Confronting a neighbor can be tricky. After all, you still have to live near this person for the foreseeable future, so it's not like you want to be burning any bridges. That being said, if your neighbor is actively harming your living experience, confrontation might be inevitable and unnecessary.

Now, if you can't confront someone directly, petty behavior is not necessarily ideal, but sometimes, it's the only option you have in your arsenal. That's what happened when this Redditor heard a tenant use the laundry room after 10pm (which was the latest you were supposed to use the room). It gets worse, though. There was one dryer everyone knew was particularly loud and would cause an intense shaking sound for all tenants living on that floor. This tenant decided that was the dryer to use after 10pm on a weeknight.
