O.k This is a good one that a friend of mine did. Get some fish like from the markets any fish will do so you can purchase the cheapest you can find, make sure its a whole fish and it has to be at least a few, when you get home put it in a plastic bag and let it sit in the sun in your back yard away from where people can see when you have left it outside for a few days it should have liquified if not then let it stay a bit longer till it rots and liquifies then when your neighbour isn't home or is asleep sneak outside and snip the corner of the bag and pour a bit at a time into her car window and into the drivers door side pour it around her home and on her grass, she won't know where the smell is coming from and she won't be able to get the smell out of her car, so she will be driving round and smelling this stinky smell, you can have a good laugh and payback. Good luck.

Do you have a noise curfew in your town? If so, call the police and file a complaint. And as long as you are parking on the right side of the street at the right time and not blocking her driveway, she can call the cops all she wants and they can't make you move or ticket you, so keep parking there and let her keep calling. The cops will stop coming eventually because she's just spamming them. Which can lead to her being charged for filing false complaints.

Otherwise, don't do anything. It's not setting a good example for your child and knowing that she upset you is probably all she ever wanted in the first place so don't give her that satisfaction.

I see people say that "revenge is bad" all the time in these kind of questions, to them I say BULL. I hear more people complain about how they were mistreated years ago, then I hear people feeling bad about taking justice into there own hands.

As long as it's not illegal, I say do whatever you can to get back at her.

If she plays her music loud enough for you to hear it, Call the cops, every time. If you see her do anything illegal call the cops. Or you could take her to small claims court biased on her making false police reports, just make sure you don't do both.

I would ask your dad to stop talking to her. He shouldn't be listening to someone talk down about you.

The worst thing I think a person can do is try to make two 'wrongs' equal a 'right'. For one thing, should you do mischief out of revenge or otherwise, you would be bringing yourself down to the other person's level.

Secondly, it would be best to make friends with the offender if possible, similar to the 'attract more flies with honey' way of looking at things. If there is any way you and the neighbor could possibly get along and ultimately come to an understanding, it would be wonderful!

If the previous idea is impossible, the next option is to understand the payoff that person is getting by being annoying. Is she doing it to get a rise out of you? Is she succeeding? If so, then deprive the person that payoff, or any others you can think of.

As a last resort, if everything else fails, you may be reduced to notifying the police if the neighbor is truly a nuisance, depriving you of sleep, and is harassing you.

Best Wishes!

If you live in the UK, one of the more evil things you can do is go to Argos or some place which sells stuff with a no quibble return policy, buy a cheap tv and pay cash. At the till you will be asked for an address, give them your neighbours name and address. This gets forwarded to TV licensing, and once its on their list, that address will be constantly harrassed until they buy a tv license, sometimes, even if they have one already! Your number will then be visited by the "TVLiban" like terrorists at odd ours banging on their door (legally, I might add)

Oh, and don't forget to return to the shop the same day and say you want a refund cos your (insert relative here) already bought one. You'll get your full money back.

if you really think she's doing all this with the intention of 'doing your head in', just ignore her and and her behaviour if you can. If she's trying to wind you up, the last thing she wants is to be ignored. So - ignore her. You could also play her at her own game - if she plays loud music, play yours louder and at times that will put her off her sleep at night. Ask your dad to look after your child, pump your music up. Sleep with earplugs to let you sleep with your music up and let it go on all night. If she complains tell her that you can't hear your music over hers. Front it out. She's a bully. Tell her that if she can't talk to you directly and has to make remarks to your Dad that she's a coward as well as a bully.

Well if your in the UK you speak to the local council about her noise pollution, if they don't deal with it then you will have to employ a solicitor to get a restraining order pending a court hearing and sue the woman for noise pollution.

If your in another country then it is best to refer to local legislation on antisocial behaviour.

If you go an purposly do something to her property the it will look bad on you, she could get you into trouble which is what it sounds like she is trying to do, so you can add provocation to the list of other annoying things she is doing.

Keep a list of times and durations she is being antisocial and also phone the police so that you get them to record your complaints and identify the music if at all possible as this will help.

As for driving her mad, well making it look like your not bothered by her antics will be maddening enough.

If she plays loud music late at night, it's against most city ordinances. A call to the police from your end should do it. Anything else might get YOU into trouble with the law...in other words, put the law on YOUR side, not hers.

If she is married or has a boyfriend, why don't you write her a write anomously and say that her husband or boyfriend is cheating on her and mail in. It may or may not be true. Seeing that she plays loud music late at night, she is probably asleep during the day, why don't you play loud music during the day. If she says anything to you, say, I will stop playing my music when you stop playing yours. Call the cops on her when she plays her music.
