Having terrible neighbors can transform your house into a living hell.

This man He was living peacefully until his neighbors made things tough for him.

They blared music, pulled off shower jokes, and even tampered with his motorcycle.

Therefore, he discovered an ingenious way to retaliate... and nobody suspected it was him!

Check out the full story below for all the details.

Being annoyed by the circuit breaker. Impolite neighbors.

I resided in a spacious old building containing several residential units.

I owned the whole ground level.

I likewise had entry to the basement close to a side exit.

The residents living above me despised me for reasons I could never understand.

The guy's neighbor constantly irritated him by playing loud music.

Whenever I began taking a shower, I could hear them rush to their bathroom to flush the toilet.

This could result in the shower temporarily dispensing only searingly hot water.

They also turned up the volume on the music.

And hopped around unpredictably at various moments.

He attempted to be friendly, but they continued to pester him.

I began learning how to turn on the shower.

But refrain from entering until you hear the toiletflush.

I kindly requested them not to play loud music late at night.

I attempted to be pleasant, until I discovered my motorcycle had been knocked over.

It was consistently locked onto my staircase rail with a protective covering over it.

He knew they were the only ones who could do it to his motorcycle.

I wasn't able to confirm it was them.

However, it was hidden from view of others.

It appeared reasonable for them to do so.

As he descended into the basement, he had a sudden inspiration.

A single day, electricity was cut off.

The landlord requested that I inspect the circuit breaker located next to my unit at the bottom of the stairs in the basement.

It was just a local power outage, but it gave me an idea.

When their music was loud, I’d shut off all the power to their unit only.

The neighbors ceased their noise.

As I prepared for my day at work, I would descend the stairs and switch off the circuit breaker.

Next, relish the quietness until I was prepared to depart.

Whenever they got too noisy, I would reduce their volume.

The neighbors kept pacing loudly above us.

And attempt to burn me with very hot water in the shower.

However, the noise problem never occurred again.

On this occasion, he switched off his neighbor’s heating system.

My most intense response occurred on a particularly frigid winter day.

When I realized the units had separate furnaces located in the basement.

I switched theirs off and waited.

The landlord contacted me to check if I was facing any problems and mentioned that he would stop by for an inspection.

However, he was unable to reach there until much later.

I turned it back on just before his arrival.

The landlord couldn't understand what the issue was.

The landlord inquired of all the tenants whether they were encountering any problems.

However, everybody else mentioned it was perfectly acceptable.

He never discovered I was the one responsible.

I don’t feel proud of my petty behavior, yet I can’t help smiling whenever I recall this incident.
