This wasn't exactly neighborly behavior on both sides of the situation. However, the Redditor ended up doing what he had to in order to make the message to his entitled next-door neighbor clear.

That resident allowed their dog to go to the bathroom on the Redditor's lawn every day. The first time, of course, the Redditor excused it. The second time, he thought about bringing it up. By the fifth time, he needed to communicate to the dude next door that this was beyond forgiveness. 

The best way to get even is to be petty right back. This is not a "when they go low, we go high" situation. This is very much a "when they go low, we meet them at their level and plunge them even further below" situation. The Redditor decided that the best course of action was to return the remains on top of the neighbor's garbage can without properly packaging the trash so that they would receive a fine from the HOA.

    For context I live in a small cul-de- sac with four other houses, we're all pretty close and friendly since it's a small neighborhood. Except one house - they keep to themselves and are generally pretty inconsiderate with noise ordinances and such. (I'm talking doing loud machine work at 6:45am on a Saturday.)

    outside while they are washing their car, they drop the hose and go inside for a while. I try to catch them in the morning before work, they either hustle into their car or go back inside. It's the most childish thing I've ever seen.

    Que the revenge. Fridays are garbage days, so most folks get their cans out Thursday night since it comes so early in the morning.

    For four days I picked up the ☐ and stored it in a box - unbagged. (I used a bag to pick it up.) At 11pm, as I'm letting my own dog. out before bed, I empty that box into their garbage can and waited.

    Our local municipality has strict rules on animal waste - mainly that it MUST be bagged. I work from home, so I knew I'd see that pick- up happen. The can was pulled over, and once they flipped back
