The guy above me is a complete nightmare. He's loud, lazy and has no respect for anyone or anything. He's a dole bludger who basically spends all day sat in his house drinking cider. He has no concept of time and is always walking us up at random times in the night with his music or stomping around. He's caused two floods in my property, his garden is attacking 4 others which he refuses to do anything about it, etc, etc.
The problem is, he's a skinny little runt, so I can't just beat the crap out of him because it'll look bad on me, but I really want a few good ways to **** with his head. Any ideas? (preferably without any high-horse rant about what a bad person I am...I've tried talking to him, honestly I have, but the guy just doesn't give a **** and the council wont do anything either. I'm losing the plot here! And why the hell should I move away because of him?! I paid for my house, I work hard for it while he does sweet FA...God I hate him!!!!!)

Take this morning for example...he woke me up at 4 when I had to be in work for 7. You think I could get back to sleep? Course not, and now i'm a basket case. Great, thanks, wtf?!

Make an official looking FBI Wanted notice with his photo on it and post it around the neighborhood at 4am.

Well he has no concept of time because, as you pointed out, he has no responsibly. That's why he's up so late at night, there's no need to wake up for work the next day! Some people keep these kinds of hours for a variety of reasons. I'm sure you probably have some sort of noise level laws during the night where you live and have already reported this guy to the police which may have not helped at all, so I'll share with you something else. I happen to work the graveyard shift and tend to go to sleep around 8am. Problem is sometimes (and I can't be mad at them cause their only doing their job) the gardeners with their loud lawnmowers and such keep me from falling asleep. Maybe you should give gardening a try during the hours he wants to sleep in peace...

Everyone else has come up with novel and funny ways of getting back at this guy. I would like to suggest that instead of revenge which may result in you getting an ASBO, after all it wont take sherlock holmes to figure out whose doing all these things to this neighbour, you get in touch with your local council's anti-social behaviour officers.
They will visit with you to get the details and give you a diary to record all the disturbances. They usually have a 24 hr service, so if a party is ongoing at 2am they come out as independent witnesses of antisocial behaviour and phone the police. They will then approach your neighbour once armed with evidence to give him a warning or more serious consequences.
This is boring, but the right way to deal with this to ensure that you yourself do not end up in trouble.

Spray "Round-up" into his garden when no one else is looking. That will take care of that. Then get yourself a sound machine and sleep with it on (rain, babbling brooks, ocean waves, etc.). You won't hear all of his crap during the night and you can get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, try to ignore him. He probably won't get any better no matter what you do to him. You could try sending him an anonymous letter telling him exactly what you think. I know that sounds kinda chicken but it'll make you feel better without having to actually deal with him again.

Anonymous tipoffs to DHSS that he's working on the side that will stop his benefit (and his cider money).
Tipoff the Inland Revenue who will be obliged to investigate his circumstances.
Wait till he goes out and raid his bin ensuring as many letters or bills as possible are there. Put it all in a black bin bag and fly tip it that will earn him a fixed penalty notice.
Throw waste food into his garden at night and after a few days call the council and tell them you've seen rats in yours.
Above all turn it into a hobby you can have great fun doing his head in.

Use sleep deprivation against him. When he's not making noise you need to start a racket of your own: Music, decorating, parties etc.
It'll mean you don't sleep for a month but he'll get the message in the end.
I don't know why you don't go and have a 'word' with him if he's making your life this miserable.

u need to start a campaign to drive him out of his box and keep a note of his activities to give to the council. contact ur estates officer at council too. they have alot of clout. every thing he does make a report to the police (wldnt hurt u to make some up either hehe) get a sunday paper and apply for all the send no money now offers. order stuff online and get it sent to his hse, like from catalogues on his credit. send pizzas and stuff too. the agro of sending it back will piss him off big time. give him a bit of his own love. if u know he is sleeping or its not a gd time for racket, make some and lots of it! gd luck huni. had same probs myself with guy that lives nx to me

Well, why don't you just take him fishing? Fishing is a great way to calm the nerves. And at some point ask him to hold the anchor while you tie it around his skinny neck, and then say oops as you push his sorry butt overboard. See, how easy it is to come up with a solution when you're nice and relaxed and calm.

You poor thing, horrid neighbours can be a nightmare.......
Put your music on loud when you think he is sleeping, send round taxis and pizzas at various points throughout the day and night, and if all else fails, get a pellet gun and take pot shots out the window!!
Good luck.
