Guy pours skunk tincture along the side of noisy neighbor's house so they'll keep their windows shut: 'It smelled so bad'

Who knew that the best way to get even with noisy neighbors was to make things smelly for them?

Some folks within apartment buildings and intimate neighborhoods simply enjoy the act of complaining about noise levels. We know that certain entitled people gain some strange level of fulfillment by stirring the pot. These are also the same individuals who likely make substantial amounts of noise themselves, but of course, for them, it's somehow reasonable.

However, there are a few instances in which noisy neighbors are the real problem, and their inability to respect their neighbors' desire for peace and quiet can only make enemies moving forward. That's what happened to these noisy neighbors, anyway…

  • After numerous failed attempts to get his neighbors to quiet down, this resident would up hearing a suggestion from a friend that he could not get out of his mind. It involved ordering skunk tincture and lining it outside his neighbors' house so that they would have to finally shut their windows to avoid the foul smell. 

    Now, you may be wondering if that's what it took to get these frustrating entitled folks to close their windows for once? Unfortunately, it's whatever it takes…

    They were so loud all the time. I tried talking to them, telling them my boyfriend and I work at a coffee shop and bakery and our hours were really early. I bribed them with treats I made.

    It got really bad and I had no idea what to do. Nothing we had done up to this point had worked. When I'd explain my situation people would come up with funny revenge ideas. None of them stuck like the skunk tincture did to me. I could feel it in my bones

    it would work. So I ordered some on amazon and one morning as I left for work I dumped it all along the side of their house that they keep the windows open on. It smelled so bad I was worried I was gonna get some on me and I'd smell bad at work. I didn't.

    the tincture. One of the girls was walking back and forth up the sidewalk spraying the rocks. under the windows with Lysol. I watched it for a while and more came out. One opened the window and pulled the screen off and wiped it all down. Eventually a maintenance guy showed up.

    Then the gas company. I kinda started to panic at that point. I felt kinda bad, like maybe I had gone too far. I don't think they ever figured it out or suspected me.

    For the next 2 months those windows stayed shut and I barely heard anything from them. It was so peaceful. I couldn't believe it worked.
