Man wakes up every week at 3 AM to move pesky neighbor's trash cans 6 inches to the left, convincing neighbor he's going insane: 'Saw them standing in the driveway praying over the trash cans. I almost felt bad'

Have you ever put a mountain of effort into messing with someone? Would you?

A good prank is worth its weight in gold. But there are way more bad pranks than good pranks. Most pranks are too big and instill too much fear into the victim. Even if it's for a moment, they feared for their lives, and that's not chill. The best pranks get someone on a human level. They get under their skin and make them rethink something. The best pranks understand a person's habits and use them to exploit a situation. The best pranks are also done to people who deserve them. This story has both.

If something in your life was ever so slightly different and you didn't know why, you might freak out. You might question your sanity. You might start imagining the presence of ghosts. Imagine if you came home and your closet was rearranged. Not in an immediately noticeable way, but let's say your long sleeves are usually on the left and your short sleeves are usually on the right. Then you come home one day, and it's the opposite. You would be confused and more than a little disturbed. You might wonder if someone broke into your house and changed it around. You might question whether you had a sleepwalking episode and did it yourself. You slowly drive yourself to madness, one question at a time. Lo and behold, it was your sister who was getting back at you for borrowing a shirt and never giving it back. Lesson learned.

That's what one neighbor set out to do after his neighbor caused some minor problems in his life. He snitched on him to the HOA about a small issue and ended up costing him some dough. So the aggrieved party set out to make his nosy neighbor's life just a little worse. He had the perfect plan to drive him crazy without getting caught, and it worked. But he wanted to finally get it off his chest, so he took to the internet with the full story. Read on for all the details and see what you would have done.
I've been waking up at 3am to move my neighbor's trash cans slightly every week and he hired a priest last month.
