ULPT Need to get payback on HOA neighbor
Posted by NurseTipsy@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 92 comments
Okay so our HOA is currently up our ass. We used to be friends with the president when we first moved, didn’t understand why everyone hated him. Now we see why. Many reasons. Racism. Misogyny. Nit picking anyone he doesn’t like.
Because our HOA president is our neighbor two doors down, he has started searching for ANYTHING.
Like measuring our grass on the daily until we mow and threatening fines. Including any strands of grass in driveway cracks.
Anyway he is having a big crawfish boil in his front yard tomorrow.
I want to make it suck. At least occasionally.
I’ve thought of air horns, letting my dogs bark like crazy, spotlights, playing loud vulgar music. Heck even stinky fertilizer or fart sprays!
Any tips or other ideas???
Prefer not to involve the one nice neighbor between us, but I do expect collateral annoyance damage.

Why the FUCK does anyone live in a property with an HOA?
I've never heard anything buy complaints about them
Beck943@reddit
You can have shitty neighbors without an HOA. Ask me how I know 😫
NotAChristian666@reddit
I'll bite - how DO you knower
Beck943@reddit
Because I have shitty neighbors and do not live in an HOA

Seen the housing market lately? We got a steal of a deal on a home, and this is what came with it.. 😭 I have horses and one day we wanna move to have land for them. Until money and opportunity comes, HOA it is
gerardkimblefarthing@reddit
Find out where he got the crawfish, they usually have to be shipped outside of Louisiana. Have a friend call his house in the middle of the party to say his tag (bags get tagged with lot#) is recalled due to vibrio mimicus contamination and anyone that touched or ate it is at risk of gastroenteritis and should sell the nearest emergency room. Watch the party scatter.
Ok-Recognition9876@reddit
That’s just cruel to the ER personnel and patients there for an actual emergency. Wouldn’t sneaking over and placing some strömming juice in the bag be the better option?
Or in his gutters…
Malishara@reddit
The sound of the perpetrator gagging every two seconds would negate any possibility of sneaking.
gerardkimblefarthing@reddit
Would we be in this sub if that were a concern?
Jerko_23@reddit
This. And then throw a piss cube through his windoe
AI_Praz0lam@reddit
Piss cube is also my go-to vengeance tactic.
Well played, sir.
footballpoetry@reddit
Then fuck his dad.
meanie78@reddit
That escalated rather quickly. 😂
GrapeKitchen3547@reddit
What are you talking about? It's the good old piss-cube-and-fuck-the-dad combo. It's the oldest trick in the book and one of the most popular too, good for every occasion. A classic, really.
meanie78@reddit
For the record, I'm not hating on the comment, its hysterical and diabolical and I'm here for it.
meanie78@reddit
I'm talking about the "fuck his dad" comment that I replied to. Not yours. That's what I was talking about.

No no no. Piss disc.

Hmm. A vibe is easier to throw with accuracy but a disc melts faster..choices choices

Hear me out. Dildo ice mold made out of frozen piss. Pretty sure Spencer's sells the dildo ice mold

AllenSmithee59@reddit
I have a suggestion: Grow the fuck up.
PtZamboat@reddit
Are you upwind of him by chance? Fish emulsion fertilizer in your yard with its smell wafting towards his will give everyone the dry heaves.
GrapeKitchen3547@reddit
Uh... what if the wind changes direction? It does that often.
Aerryth@reddit
Wait till the raw food is brought out to cook to quietly spread it. The guests will think the horrible smell is rotten crawfish
Ok_Knee1216@reddit
Liquid Ass is needed here.

Any chance of purchasing a large batch of flies from a pet store? No one wants to eat seafood covered in flies
Koloristik@reddit
Leads me to the idea of buying worms and throwing them into the yard. Either it will look like a biblical plague ("worms rained from the sky") or it will attract birds. Or both. Also, start practicing using some kind of throwing device to throw/shoot all those lovely wildlide-attracting things in there. This gift will keep on giving.
Knitsanity@reddit
Emily worms scattered just before dawn to evade cameras?
Koloristik@reddit
That is a nice plan 👌
Blunt_but_Honest98@reddit
If he’s the biblical type - most reptile stockists sell crickets - get the black or thorny ones and propel them via fan - Shock & horror! A Plague of Locusts!

Yall! My mom drove by his house this morning on her way to drop something off to me. She gave him the finger and kept going.
He called the police! They knocked and asked her to “be respectful” lmao We reminded the cop that flipping someone off is not illegal in any way, and they’re knocking on doors bc a 56 year old man got the finger and didn’t like it.
Feels like an alternate universe that they would actually knock on doors for a pouty man
Dumpster_FI_RE@reddit
It would be better to stay under the radar. Now anything you do, he's definitely going to think that you did it.
Long time ago I got my shitty drug dealing neighbors house raided by the police twice. They were confused about who actually called because I kept my mouth shut and used misinformation. After the second raid they left.
amberfirex@reddit
I’d do that every single time I drove by then 😂
Foulwinde@reddit
Read the bylaws thoroughly for anything about noise, gatherings or anything with his crab boil that might be against the rules of the HOA.
Do you have a group FB page? Pointing out the violation directly might be more confrontational that making a post for the neighborhood to see.
SteeniestOfMachines@reddit
¡Viva la Revolución!

brainhack3r@reddit
BTW... don't READ. Load the full PDF of the HOA into ChatGPT/Claude, as well as ANY behavior that you find annoying and ask ChatGPT to explain how he's in violation of the HOA rules.
Also, ask ChatGPT what rules are easy to break that he could be in violation of.
Sometimes there are rules like trash can't be taken out before 8pm or something.
Report him on ALL these rules.
ChatGPT makes these things super fast now.
You can take a 100 page PDF what rules you think he might have broke, then have it generate a summary, then have it write the letter for the HOA automatically.
Should take two minutes.
Dougally@reddit
Looks for HOA rules he breaches outside of just crab boils.
Miss_Management@reddit
Right! Really though, a large gathering in the front yard? Surely that's not HOA compliant!
bacardipirate13@reddit

That email spammer looks very sketchy and apparently the information you send isn’t secure. Got any other version that don’t look scammy?
reeeforce_rtx@reddit
My brother in christ, it is a website meant to fill your inbox with spam/scams. In what reality is it supposed to be secure
professor_doom@reddit
I assumed it was a site to fill someone’s email up with spam, instead of just being.l a spammy website itself.
insulartomb@reddit
A friend did this to someone (Scientology) but also said they were suicidal. The hounding was super intense apparently
kdwhirl@reddit
Sounds like you will develop an urgent need to mow your front lawn, edge/weedwhack and then carefully and thoroughly blow off the driveway, sidewalk and gutters as soon as he starts entertaining.
miraculum_one@reddit
I don't know much about crawfish but I imagine that if you were to dump a couple of pounds of salt in the water it would probably be undetectable until people went to eat it.
beardsthetics@reddit
That's basically what a crawfish boil is (spicy salty water)
Nunov_DAbov@reddit
If you’re willing to wait a few days, a pound of table salt is a cheap and effective way to send lawn messages.
Invasive flowering plant seeds can do wonders for a dull green lawn.
In the short term, if you can arrange for the demise of a skunk near his party, that can leave a lasting impression.
LuementalQueen@reddit
Mint. He will never get rid of it. And it will look like shit.
_Stamos@reddit
Plant some mint in his yard.
Millenial_ScumDog@reddit
We got a cheeseburger picnic situation here boys.
Get a bunch of people to show up randomly, maybe a paving company run by the former hoa president who looks like a caveman, a guy with a stuffed fox he’s selling on marketplace, maybe a mariachi band to play funny songs
TerribleRecord666@reddit
Post on the county and city page about the free crawfish boil at his address. Try and get it overrun with strangers demanding free food.
Obviously don’t use your main account to post about it.
Weedle_blzit@reddit
Leaf blower and make sure you hit a pile of dust right when food is being served up

I have neighbor problems. I've mentioned a few over the years in here. Two weeks ago, I had my grandson set out a dozen eggs in a place where they get sunlight every day. It's been warm enough that they are probably ready but I'm giving them another week before they become launched rotten bombs.
They are nasty. The neighbor these are for is having battles with a guy across the street. I won't be suspected. I had the same grandson pour fertilizer in his yard behind us in the shape of a penis a few years back. He raised hell about that and called the police blaming another neighbor whose property borders his.
Last week I ordered a gallon jug of neon pink glitter. We dumped it in the road in front of his driveway. It has spread for 2 blocks in both directions leading from his house. He does suspect us of that. I used to grow long beards. My granddaughters made glitter beards sometimes.
footballpoetry@reddit
Reminds me of high school when a friend kept a carton of milk in his locker for a month and then dumped it out on the floor in between classes.

You have to keep up. I'm on wheels. I even have a chair for off road. Grandson can get it to flank speed on the blacktop. It leaves tracks in the grass, though.

Can...can it be made into a battle chariot? Asking for science.

I could with an old one. It already has been modified with attachments for me to be Captain Christopher Pike at ComicCons.

You could spray his property in the middle of the night with fox urine or doe urine
Wuzcity@reddit
He can’t be up your ass if you’re not breaking HOA bylaws. CC&R are there to keep the standard to a certain level in the neighborhood. If you can’t abide by those rules maybe you’re living in the wrong neighborhood.
alsoaprettybigdeal@reddit
Freeze liquid ass into cubes and put them all over the lawn. Let the sun do the rest of the work for you. Or just pour it on his grass over night.
Dwilliamson5002@reddit
Have everyone you know park on the street in front of or around their house. Set the car panic buttons off every so often.
Get some laxatives in the food. No one will ever come back.
Pick up all the dog shit you can find the night before and hurl that shit all over, including your yard and the in between house.
lskerlkse@reddit
Laxatives in the food is the devil's work. Them people don't deserve to suffer because of one guy.
Grouchy-Macaron-1780@reddit
ULPT- yes. But it's a felony in most states to alter food or contaminate it.
Dwilliamson5002@reddit
But that’s only if you get caught? 😂 😂

When I was an undergrad I lived in a dorm for the first two years. The first year of that we had residence hall director who was much more about asserting authority than assisting students with their transition to university. RHDs name was Pat and this occurred at a school in the midwest with a large agricultural community.
So a farm kid--to this day I don't know who--brought a sprayer full of undiluted RoundUp (or salt, or something) and hand-sprayed, on the front lawn, PAT IS A DICK.
The grass turned brown making the words clear for all to see. They tried watering/rinsing. No effect. They tried re-seeding. Nothing would grow there. They eventually had to literally dig up the soil in that section, put down new topsoil, and put in new sod.
It took a while.
I have no idea what you could possible do to help in your situation. I'm just relating a story from earlier in my life.
Paevatar@reddit
A box of blueberries scattered in and around his yard could result in some colorful bird bombs during his party.
UnaidedGinger@reddit
Reminds me of a video I saw where kids filled the food with laxatives and fed the birds

Go to the hardware store and buy two big bottles of plant Deer repellent ( the rotten egg, blood,garlic stuff. ) spray it all over your lawn right before the party starts.

You think acting like an ass will get your HOA off your back?
And anyone encouraging their dogs to bug people is just begging for someone to harm the dogs at some point in the future. Do you know how many times people here have suggested tossing a few chocolate bars over the fence of a shitty dog?
