Guy records entitled neighbor's loud dog, gets even by blasting his barking over the speaker at 3 AM on a loop: 'Guess he didn't like the remix'

All noisy neighbors seem to think their volume level is perfectly fine until they get a taste of their own medicine.

Of course, one has to be sympathetic to the fact that dogs bark. That's inevitable. However, caring enough to at least attempt to get your dog under control out of respect for one's neighbors is, at the very least, a sign of decent neighborly behavior. This dude next door did not make any attempts to do the decent thing. Instead, he just denied that his loud dog's incessant barking at 3:00 in the morning was an issue that needed to be dealt with.

So, this author decided to deal with the issue himself. One night, he recorded the dog's barking. You'd think that maybe he was hoping to play that recording for the neighbor to show him how bad his dog gets at night, but the author had a better idea. 

He proceeded to connect his Bluetooth speaker to his phone, place the speaker by the window right across from where the neighbor's bedroom was, and blast the recording on a loop all night. You can imagine how the neighbor responded to this…

  • It's worth noting that while we appreciate the “eye for an eye” mentality here, we must also extend our sympathies to all of the other residents in this neighborhood. They have had to endure both the obnoxious resident's dog barking at all hours of the night and the author's recording of that dog. When is someone going to start thinking of the innocent casualties in this neighborhood feud?

  • 3X_Cat 36m ago My neighbor used to have two dogs that barked all night long. But their AC unit was right outside their window so they couldn't hear it.

  • One night, I creeped over to it (boy, did that set the dogs. off!) and removed the fuse block and kept it and closed the little lid. Suddenly they could hear their dogs!
