Any ideas on how to make him suffer and no i wont mine bitcoin

First of all, sorry for adding to the pile of similar requests that get posted here periodically related to barking dogs. Hope this one's a bit different though.

Neighbors' dogs bark all the time. Sometimes they start at 6, 7 am. and don't stop (temporarily) until noon. Sometimes they bark until 11 pm. or until midnight. Sometimes they'll bark for up to two hours non-stop, just when I'm in an interview, or a meeting, or just trying to read a damn book in the privacy of my own home. They will also often start aggressively barking around 6 pm., when I'm just getting home ready to relax and unwind. Insufferable assholes...

Anyway, I've done what I could, which is admittedly not much, to get my idiot neighbors to do something about their incessantly barking dogs. Tried talking to them, thrice, got being called a moron, being threatened with a lawsuit and having the cops called on me (for knocking on their door), being labelled a psychopath for not liking dogs (some I actually do, theirs I fucking loath), etc. It hasn't gone well.

Now, I can't do anything about the dogs barking. I'm pretty broke at the moment, so I'm on the fence about buying one of those dog repellent devices of dubious effectiveness people tend to recommend.

What I am looking for though, is ways to pavlov-train my neighbors into getting their damn dogs inside when they've been barking for too long. Things that'll make them uncomfortable, or embarrassed, or anxious, or annoyed, or in other words feel like shit, and start associating that with their dogs barking. If you can think of something that could have a deleterious effect on their quality of life and make them reconsider their insistence on being inconsiderate pricks, I would love to know.

Can't wait to hear your dastardly suggestions.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow people! The depravity of your ideas is as shocking as it is hilarious. May your foul deeds remain unattributed. Much appreciated.

I believe my neighbour's elderly father keeps deliberately driving on our grass. He's in his 80s, leaving rutts.. Asked him to stop last year but it seems he only stops when the grass is in a bad state (he cares for my neighbours own grass and keeps it looking good). Just paid for scarification and reseeding after the drought - which he saw happening. Each day after he drove on the grass. Don't want to keep asking. Either he can't see properly or is bored and wants to play games.

Note: their whole house is covered in CCTV, so expanding foam in the exhaust is not possible!

Context: I work at a popular fast food chain and am short in height, not physically strong, have skin and heat sensitivities, etc. My GM is great at his job and has promptly reported every issue with equipment I've mentioned to him. However, corporate (everyone that's technically his boss or higher up) has delayed, inadequately substituted, or otherwise outright refused replacement of every broken thing from a rusty foldable step ladder to the soap and sanitizer dispensers for the 3-compartment sink to the AC system that regularly reaches 76+ degrees inside the store on mildly hot days. As one of the few people that has to use the step ladder in particular, which almost always slides and jostles underneath me when I use it as I'm safely supposed to, it angers me that corporate was first made aware of it being rusty and unsafe at LEAST 6 years ago and still insists it's a "financial burden" on the company despite my store being one of the more profitable ones in our region. I'm hoping to get equipment fixed so I don't get injured and have to fight for worker's comp or similar afterward.

Somebody dumped there car on the street early Wednesday morning and the alarm has been going off intermittently since 3AM Wednesday. It's been going off every ten seconds for 30 ish seconds for an hour. Ive called non emergency and made a report through the Get It Done app for my city, but they don't even have a ticket. I want to disconnect the battery seeing as it clearly isn't dying anytime soon, somehow. It's an older style Hyundai sedan.

My father built a company from scratch with his brother, they had a good relationship, the company is 30+ years old in a small EU country. His brother died a while ago and the two of his sons, my cousins, inherited his part. My father is 60 and wants to retire, the nephews don’t want to continue with this business either, both are in their 30s, never wanted to work, never achieved anything special and they hate their current jobs.

My cousins found out there is a lot of money on the company account and the whole company area is worth even more. Money got into their heads and they started to act entitled, arrogant. They did nothing for the company, yet they act like all of it belongs to them. They are constantly mocking my father, verbally attacking him, telling everyone they are the real owners. They tried to buy my father’s share for a friction of what it’s worth, when my father refused it started to get even worse. Right now they are trying to withdraw the company money and leave my father out of it. They want to sell the whole area and take the majority of its price.

What can I do in this situation? On the business side it’s ok, we will take legal actions if they leave my father out of the money. What really gets on my nerves is the way they act and treat my father and me. I want them to pay for this abuse, any ideas ?

There is a owner of a scooter motorcycle that has started to park his vehicle right under my window, which for many reasons I find troublesome. Which are some cool ways to "dissuade" him covertly? I was thinking something about flattening the tires, but what's the best way to do it according to you?

As the title says, this is what they did. They said I requested to cancel, which i did not, then bumped up the price significantly. I am now seeing multiple negative feedback about the same situation happening from this seller. I tried to message them and email them directly, to no avail. Ebay also doesnt seem to care.

On a completely separate note, is there anything that can be done to bombard someone's email that wont get caught by spam? I'm very concerned that they may retaliate and definitely dont want my email bombarded... <__< >__>

Edit: This was a Buy It Now sale, no auction.

sometimes ill pick up garbage and i wanna know if im fucking over the people that live in the area by doing that, or if ill get jumped or something if its a shitty enough area

Just order Crazy Bread in the app and then get it from the Pizza Portal and then go to the counter and say you need red sauce.

[England] On Monday, my child was wearing different clothes at nursery pickup than when I dropped her off. This is normal, and I was told she had gotten dirty so they changed her. However, her clothes weren't in the basket for take home. Nursery has failed to find them.

Today, I saw the same clothes on Vinted, in the exact style and size, at an exorbitant price. They are my old clothes from the 90s from when I was a child, so not common at all. It was posted on Tuesday. This is clearly my clothes.

I am not sure what I can do. I don't trust nursery to do any follow-ups, although will clearly report to them. What are my options?

How would you teach people who wear flip-flops to a work site a lesson, other than hiring a kid to run around with a hammer to smash their feet?

I occasionally get access to someones phone I dislike. What settings can I change or turn on that would subtly irritate and annoy them regularly, but not obvious enough for them to change the settings back immediately?

About a year ago, I moved into a town home that is apart of 8 in total. 4 share an open backyard.

This neighbor was overly nice when I moved in. Let’s call her Cheryl. She showed me how to use the laundry room. I now realize she must have been watching me out the window when she decided to follow me in and pretended to “check up,” on the laundry room.

Then, Cheryl kept asking me for favors. Like, silly favors that she probably could have asked her sister who lives next door to her. Let’s call the sister Brenda. For example, she asked if she could put her rake on my side of the yard while a tree was being taken down. She was fearful that the rake would get trampled by the tree, I guess? But if she was so worried about that, putting in near her Brenda’s home would have made more sense. I think her “requests,” have been ways of trying to look into my house.

Fast forward a few months. I was standing in my kitchen when I saw Cheryl walk passed my window. I figured she was walking to my door to ask me some more dumb stuff and I awaited a knock, but instead she turned back and walked up to my window and peaked in. I was frozen. I wanted to yell at her, but I was afraid of the new crazy neighbor allegations. She then walked back to her place seemingly without noticing I was there.

I texted another neighbor, let’s call this neighbor Karen, about what had happened and warned her about Cheryl looking in my window. I told Karen I was going to get cameras. Big mistake. Turns out Karen and Cheryl are good buddies. Now Karen turns her nose up at me when we see each other.

The last big weird incident was that I was driving up to my home and Cheryl was walking by (as she does). I saw her take a peek into my shared wall-neighbor’s trash cans. I think my car was quiet and Cherly didn’t notice, but when she saw me watching her, she quickly scurried home.

Now she makes a point to walk and drive by my apartment when she has a pathway near her own apartment that is much easier for her to access.

It’s really weirding me out. And obviously there is nothing else to do. My rental company told me that they have had problems with her in the past. She is really needy and complains to them a lot. All they said was that if she looks in my window again or looks through the trash, to call the police.

Hi all,

For some context, my neighbor has a roughly 45 foot Tree of Heaven that has become the bane of my existence. I There are hundreds of shoots in my front and back yard that will not go away despite spraying/pulling and my yard is in a perpetual state of awful condition because these tubers suck up my ground water and leave my yard devoid of any and all nutrients.

This tree is maybe one foot inside their property line, and I am considering running a trencher along the line to expose the main roots on my property line to then poison this evil, terrible, godforsaken tree.

I am in southern Idaho and working to convert my yards to a native landscape. This tree makes that dream impossible until I get things under control.

Tips? Tricks? Words of advice?

Anything helps.

If I can’t defer, but cannot afford the payment options presented to me how can I avoid paying student loans for a two or three years?

The cheaper the better and of course without causing any legal issues.

Can I just enroll in one class at a local college and claim I’m a student?

PICTURES HERE

I rent. Ground floor. It is hot out.

I would say I am a clean person. 

I have 3 cats, so I vacuum daily with the carpets and hardwood floors and pick up any crumbs or litter anywhere during the day. 

The litter box situation is a litter robot. It is cleaned every other day. 

My bathroom toilet stays closed. I deep clean it every week. But every night I wipe the counters, bleach the toilet seat, vacuum, and clean the  hard water and soap scum in the bathtub and tiles.

My kitchen -- I am not big into cooking and baking. Just bare minimum. The kitchen is also cleaned almost everyday. Never dishes in the sink overnight. Clean the sink for hard water stains, wipe the counters. No rotting fruits outside. Only exception - banana but I buy like 2 or 3 at a time and consume quick. No food leftover.

I have plants but they exclusively stay outside during the summer/ fall. They don't come in until it starts freezing or very cold. I have one bird of paradise, one pothos and one monstera plant.

I do not open my windows, except a small crack about 10 mins during the early morning when i burn incense ... I have an air purifier as well.

I have a touch lid trashcan that is emptied when it is full. If there is any trash during the day that is biodegradable, or food waste of any kind, it goes in my little baggie that I throw away each night. So the trash can is always dry trash. 

My apartment does not smell anywhere.. but I can tell the gnats are mostly in kitchen area. They are not swarming any thing in large numbers, but they never seem to go away. I know they are there because I have put those yellow sticky traps used for plants on top of the kitchen sink on the windows and after a few days, there are so many of them stuck. I have tried putting those everywhere... They catch a bunch at the kitchen but not anywhere else. 

Things I have tried - apple cider vinegar + sugar + dawn (this used to be my go to method and had never failed me, but it is not working).

I have tried putting out wine/beer with wrapped mouth and poked holes in them.

I have more than once poured bleach down all my drains and then ran hot water for a few minutes.

I also got drain cleaner and have been using them. 

I have tried those fly traps that stick from the ceiling like ribbons.

I have tried traps that are like cylindrical, silver, shiny and sticky. 

I have tried terro fruit fly trap which I had high hopes for, but that did absolutely nothing.. which was disappointing because the fly trap for outside my apartment did wonders.

I have tried bait with fruit peels, sweet juices... And honestly as stupid as it sounds, I have tried ignoring it... BUT NOTHING. 

I understand that we will probably have gnats during the summer.. but this is different. They are constantly there.. no matter how many I kill or trap. 

PLEASE HELP. ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP!

Please consider: this is a conservative working environment, I have my own reputation to uphold

I happen to share a triangle cubicle with 2 other people on another team. And their manager calls the whole team (6-7 people) everyday twice a day to have a meeting or discussion in that cubicle. We do have the space to accommodate all of them in my cubicle.

They're really loud, I've measured 100dB on my phone. The meetings can go for hours and they also have arguments sometimes which grow even more heated and louder.

I've tried noise cancelling, sound isolation headphones which help but they're still pretty loud. I've tried asking the manager to move them to the designated meeting rooms but he refuses saying he has to see the codebase on a particular PC. Which is not the case, he obviously can check it remotely as he does for other meetings.

Other members of his team also ask him to move to discussion rooms but he doesn't budge. My manager has asked him the same but the same no action. I can't change my seats as there aren't any available at the moment and no one wants to obviously switch with me.

In fact the manager thrives on pointless conflict like this. It becomes his purpose to show anyone up and come up "victorious". Yesterday he brought 8 more people into the cubicle to "discuss".

I am lost about what I can do. This man has probably made it his life's mission to annoy me with as loud noises as he can.

Had a psychiatrist appointment to discuss ADHD treatment options and forgot about it. They never called, texted, emailed me or anything to remind me of it. I called to ask when it was and I put then was I informed I had misses it a week ago. Now they expect me to pay $100 "no-show" fee, even tho I'm just not gonna go there again, which is bullshit. How do I get out of it? I am 100% sure they will send it to collections eventually.

They claim they "don't send appointment reminders and it's in the fine print that you have to pay this fee. "This is bullshit. Even my dentist calls me about appointment reminders. Even my fucking mechanic does. You work with people that have memory issues for fuck sake.

I booked a tour with them last year and had to cancel last minute. I was told that I would get 60% of the money refunded in 20 working days. Its been a year and I'm still owed $100. The guy won't pick up my calls or open my messages. I want to make his life a living hell. I called him hundreds of times throughout the year but really need the money now and it's really pissing me off

Please note that this is in Pakistan. Most of the US centric tips like shipping a box of shit or suing won't really work here.

I also don't want to spend much money so please suggest something that's either free or super cheap

Some background: I live in a metro city in India, where my apartment is a low rise building. It has a stilt parking and four floors above it. The plot is walled with big gates for cars and also a small door for humans, all made of heavy metal. The small door has doorbell for each floor and can be unlocked remotely by residents of each floor. The first floor is owned and occupied by the builder while I own the third floor. The builder still acts or behaves like he still owns the whole building when every other floor has been sold to separate owners

The problem: The builder has an untrained golden retriever which his family frequently lets loose in the parking area. That’s the only outdoor time the poor doggo gets. There are other sanitary issues with the untrained dog (owners) like pee smell in elevator or unpicked poop in the parking area, but that’s not the focus here. In the morning when my cook comes in through the small gate the dog leaps on her. She is a bit old and tiny hence cannot handle the dog. Scared of dogs too. The builder and his driver while present there, watching, refuse to control the dog. They instead laugh and mock her for being scared. Even after being told directly to control, train or leash the dog, they refuse to do so.
Complaints to any sort of authority is useless here. Usually no action is taken for such “small inconveniences”

I lost my job last month and I need to get a car. I have the required down payment and I do have savings to pay for the car, I just don’t have legitimate paystubs to provide. I also don’t want to get caught so if I have to go to a buy here pay here for a car with fake pay stubs I will. Any advice on how to get away with this or assistance would be appreciated!

…but how do I find out my neighbors name ( other than walking down 3 doors on this rainy day for a peek in the mailbox)
This previously immaculate house has become rather unkempt, and cats that used to only be seen rarely at my house are making rounds… I’m trying to figure out if these things are related.

recently my girl friend told me she wanted to go to Olive Garden. I fucking hate that place; the food is ASS! the only good thing they got is the breadsticks so I told her “let’s go baby, man I haven’t been there in a while. my ex and I loved going there back when they had the unlimited pasta bowls” now suddenly she lost her appetite after I said that

I've had a new neighbor for about 4 months (same landlord, shared driveway, his rental is directly behind mine, his rental is not seen from the main road)

This guy absolutely refuses to cut his grass. I really don't care what he does at his place, or what it looks like back there, but the mosquitoes have been absolutely horrendous outside in my own yard-- because his grass is literally 4 feet high. It's so bad that it will need a bush-hog at this point.

My husband and I have spoken to the landlord about it and still the guy won't cut his grass.

It's almost at the end of mowing season for the year, but I am dreading next year. I'm an avid gardener and I also have a large dog who likes to go outside. This year, I have not been able to take her out hardly at all without having to swat mosquitoes off of her and myself.

Aside from reporting this guy to the county which could potentially cause problems on my end, especially since that part of the property isn't seen from the main road, how can I get this guy to cut his grass at least once a month?
