Has everyone forgotten what neighborly etiquette means these days? Just because you see an unclaimed package sitting in the mail room does not mean it's yours! One would think this shouldn't be up for debate, especially among fully grown adults. Apparently, there are enough entitled tenants out there who need to be reminded of these basic rules. 

In this instance, a young tenant discovered that his foolish neighbor, Brad, stole his headphones, so he decided to get even by logging into his Wi-Fi account and changing the password to kick Brad off of his own internet access for good. An eye for an eye, Brad!

Recently, I found myself having to get similarly petty with a neighbor in the laundry room. Generally, when it comes to shared laundry room etiquette, one should wait at least five minutes (if not ten) after a cycle is done before removing a stranger's clothes from a machine. In my laundry room, there are upwards of ten dryers, four of which are speedier ones. When I came to retrieve my clothes from two of those speedy dryers, I found them strewn about on a table. Mind you, I came to retrieve my clothes no more than two minutes after the cycle was complete. Plus, there were tons of empty dryers for this mysterious neighbor of mine to use, just not the speedy ones. So I decided that the only way to get some karmic justice around here was to stop this person's cycle, so I did. Enjoy your wet clothes!

    So I live in this apartment where packages get swiped all the time. I ordered a pair of noise- canceling headphones I'd been saving for, got the "delivered" text, came home... gone. Just straight up vanished.

    I figured porch pirate, whatever. Filed a claim with Amazon. Couple weeks later, I'm talking to my neighbor, his name is Brad and he goes, man these new headphones are insane, totally cancels out everything, gaming is unreal now.

    It's the exact pair I ordered. Now Brad isn't exactly a genius, and he never changed his Wi-Fi password. I remembered he showed me his router once, so I just logged in, renamed his WiFi to:

    IStole MyNeighbors Headphones and changed the password. The next day I hear him losing his mind through the wall, calling the ISP, unplugging everything, swearing like crazy. Meanwhile I'm sitting there, watching Netflix in HD on his internet, with my replacement headphones Amazon sent me.

    mokedOkie • 2h ago . That's not even a revenge story, you literally punk'd out. Report the mail theft to the Postmaster and confront the guy, changing a Wifi password is some weakness, knock on the door and demand your property back.

    That's a good thing! They have proof of delivery and I know it's on my deck. The delivery company also sends me an email early in the day that they are delivering it today. Amazon will also deliver it to a post

    office if we're worried about theft. Lots of options to make sure you get your parcel. Saw a video of system to curb theft. They put a heavy wooden box on the porch...attached to the deck and use it as a drop in

    box which locks once the parcel is in the box. It can be opened with a key and reset to lock next time, once the parcel is removed....genius idea if you suffer from theft.
