Downstairs neighbor micromanages tenant's noise levels, so the tenant starts doing their laundry at 6 A.M. as a morning wake-up call: ‘They can do nothing about it’

Apartment living is great. You have neighbors above, below, and on either side of you at all times! What could possibly go wrong? Sure, you might get noise complaints from folks who go to sleep at 2 P.M. and wake up at 10 P.M., but that's what the housing market calls for nowadays, baby!

I live in a garden-level apartment, and a piece of me withers away with every 20-minute spurt of stomps and rattles on my ceiling… but I'll never do anything about it. That's just the way life goes, and it could always be worse! However, you can always carve out time for some revenge if your neighbors start micromanaging everything you do, especially when they start complaining about completely normal noise levels at appropriate times of the day. 

The tenant in this story enacts revenge on his downstairs neighbor when they report a one-time noise level issue to their apartment complex company, and the tenant receives a "Disturbance of Peace" letter in the mail. The neighbor lied about the tenant to the company, claiming they were using their laundry machine at all hours of the night. So, now the neighbor gets a 6 A.M. laundry wake-up call every Sunday!
