ULPT Request: Dealing with folks partying on my street
Posted by fuckalisusdefanisus@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 91 comments
Recently bought and moved into a house in the Boston area on a quite side street off of a busy road. Every night for the past three weeks a group of 20-30 people come and blast music, drink, and litter everywhere non stop from 8pm into almost 3 am some days.
I'm working the police and noise complaint angle aggressively but it seems like most nights the cops show up, they shut up for 10 minutes and then start all over again. I've also got flood lights but they have merely pushed them outside of where the flood lights shine. What can I do to make the area uncomfortable for loitering in?
I'd love to try piss discs but the whole street already smells like piss from these people using the toilet where ever they see fit so I'm not sure they'd be as effective.

Work with your neighbors. All of you install motion activated sprinklers pointed at the street and put them on timers so they don’t blast you during the day.
fuckalisusdefanisus@reddit (OP)
I love this idea, unfortunately the yard/ house is directly on the road we all park our cars on, wouldn't be the most effective
Weary-Babys@reddit
A midnight neighborhood posse armed with super soakers?
blurblurblahblah@reddit
Full of fox piss. Mask up & wear rubber gloves
Weary-Babys@reddit
This is the way. Buy Fox piss in bulk.
layzer5@reddit
Found big fox piss.

So you bought a house without checking the neighborhood first? Seems like this one is on you.
Deathclaw_Hunter6969@reddit
This is 100% on OP not sure why you got downvoted.
OP made one of the most expensive purchases in their life and didn’t do ANY research? I did more research before I bought my dog a collar.
TheGoochTaint@reddit
Where on earth did you get that? You can't just make stuff up and pretend like it's true. Not to mention not everybody can afford to live in some fancy gated neighborhood. If you are poor and have qualms with your neighborhood does that mean that you're an idiot and didn't do any research? No, it means you can't afford to live in a 100% perfect place.
fuckalisusdefanisus@reddit (OP)
Unfortunately they started showing up about a week before I closed on the place, from what I understand they used to gather about a mile down the road but got kicked further up towards us due to on going construction down there. All the neighbors are sick of it too.
Concur with all points but with the reality and price of the Boston housing market I bought what I could afford in the best area I could. Not blind to realities of that but is what it is. Doesn't mean folks need to be subject to folks being completely inconsiderate to all the residents of a street by being loud as hell and not cleaning up after themselves. This isn't my neighbors throwing a block party, it's a group of non residents taking advantage of what normally is a quite elderly community.
IAmTheLizardQueen666@reddit
It’s QUIET!
n_diamond@reddit
And if he did the research and then this happens next year… either way he is faking a legit question ffs
TheGoochTaint@reddit
You literally don't know that at all
ItsaTheMal@reddit
Congratulations the consequences of your actions lol always check out the neighborhood before you buy .
TheGoochTaint@reddit
This is a really dumb comment when you literally know nothing about the situation. I could gather up some friends and do this in some extremely posh neighborhood.
Jumper2002@reddit
Go buy some blanks and just shoot into the air
Dismal_Procedure_663@reddit
There are higher frequencies that younger people can hear that older people cannot. Figure that one out.
racecar9racecar@reddit
This is exactly how they do it at convenience stores and is the best solution IMO
myusername1111111@reddit
If you make a 50/50 mix of syrup and water, then apply it in the area the party's are happening. The local flying insect population will eventually find the areas and it will become a battle ground when the wasps and hornets turn up. You may get ants aswell, which would be an added bonus.
After being stung a few times, the party people will be looking for a more insect free venue and you can stop the daily sugar spraying. The sugar spray should be washed away by the next rainstorm. Remember to get a decent camera view as it could go viral if you're lucky.
racecar9racecar@reddit
This is a good idea too
Foulwinde@reddit
I like this idea, and to avoid being spotted on camera or if the area is unreachable, putting it in a water balloon and throwing it seems like it would work.
Sparky_Valentine@reddit
You can also use the baits from wasp traps.
racecar9racecar@reddit
High frequency hum generator... They can't take it for too long and only the younger ones will hear it at first. Then you can raise the frequency until you get them to piss off to another place. This is exactly how convenient stores handle loitering although they don't advertise it
FaceDownInTheCake@reddit
Won't even make a piss disc...what is the world coming to
PuppyJakeKhakiCollar@reddit
Next thing you know, they won't bother fucking people's dads.
racecar9racecar@reddit
If it comes to that we're toast.

hunterbuilder@reddit
So it sounds like the party is based at a house on your street, yes? Have you talked to the owner? Is it a rental? If it's rented you could complain to the landlord.
Other ideas:
If you can get to his power meter on the outside of his house there might be an accessible disconnect or main breaker. Parties tend to die when the electricity goes out.
Point some speakers at the party and blast them with gospel preaching.
fuckalisusdefanisus@reddit (OP)
Unfortunately not, just random folks that use the street corner to party
hunterbuilder@reddit
Oh wow. That's crazy to me 😄
EloquentBacon@reddit
I’d play your favorite music loudly where they can hear it but make sure to choose the kind that you love but 99% of the planet hates.
I really love metal music, especially Norwegian Black Metal bands like Darkthrone or Swiss Extreme Metal bands like Hellhammer or Swedish extreme metal bands like Bathory. When I needed to wake my teens up for school and they wouldn’t budge, I play some Darkthrone or Bathory very loudly on my phone and set my phone down in their room as far away from their beds so it would force them to get up and get out of their beds to turn it off. It was very effective in waking them up.
The FBI also did this as part of a psychological warfare tactic in 1993 with different types of loud and annoying music to draw out David Koresh and the Branch Davidians and to encourage them to surrender to the FBI from their compound in Waco, Texas.
Good luck!
phillynugget@reddit
Infiltrate party. Spike the alcohol with laxative. Nobody wants to go back to party 🎉🍹✈️ 💩
hunterbuilder@reddit
See the problem with modern parties is it's mostly single-serve drinks, not the ol punchbowl.

Do these people live in a neighboring house or do they just like that street?
ZarkDinkleberg@reddit
is this in Cambridge? By the church w the parades? (trying not to be too specific)
lynivvinyl@reddit
Go party with them loserly. Make it not cool to be there.
Tess408@reddit
This is the way. 🤣🤣🤣🥰
See how I used outdated phrase and emojis? Do that shit.
somethinkstings@reddit
This is out dated? I text this to my kids with those emojis all the time!
Tess408@reddit
Emojis in general are considered passé on reddit in particular. I think via text we are not supposed to use a thumbs up anymore because it's passive aggresive or something. I don't know. As gen x I'm going to consider myself granmothered in on that one.
somethinkstings@reddit
👍
Tess408@reddit
You get it 👍
blurblurblahblah@reddit
Wear an obnoxiously coloured cardigan & penny loafers. Bring board games & puzzles & memorize a book of your best dad jokes. Try to turn them towards christ your lord jesus. Pass around an offering plate. Pray loudly at random intervals. Chastise anyone who takes your lords names in vain.
lavasca@reddit
also speedo with no trousers
team with similarly dressed neighbior
approach each bro and ask if he’s already smelled Jimbo’s burgerfinger. move on to next bro. Release next similarly dressed neighbor and or friend every 20 ish minutes
PuppyJakeKhakiCollar@reddit
Get together with the neighbors and make the street the most uncool place to party ever. Blast classical music, bagpipes, children's music like Baby Shark. Start dancing in the street very very badly. Keep joining their group and starting lame conversations. Learn all the latest youth slang and use it with them. Get one of those mosquito repellent machines that emit the high-pitched sounds and set it up where they party. Just make it very, very annoying for them to be there.

Ok_Programmer430@reddit
Ethically, you could go down to the police station, and explain your situation with the working supervisor over there. He could explain the situation to other cops and even get a supervisor out there next time.
Unethically, twenty to thirty people is a lot. You dress up so you’re unrecognizable or you send in a buddy. You walk in like you belong. You can get creative here because the goal is to get everyone out or not come back. I would go into the bathroom and take a shit on the top part where the clean water goes. But that won’t be enough to stop the party. My usage limit has ran out but you can upgrade to pro version by vemnoing me money
CriManSqaFnC@reddit
Save time by pooping in a bag/container and brining it with you for quick , easy ULPTing
FloridaSalsa@reddit
Brining the poop is gourmet level.
Better-Lunch670@reddit
People tend to throw fewer parties after someone drops one on their pillow.
Ok_Programmer430@reddit
There’s a store here
FunOwl2026@reddit
Report you suspect they’re dealing drugs
Talory09@reddit
And giving alcohol to minors.
OiPolloi7@reddit
🎯 tell the 911 operator you physically saw very, very young people offloading cases and cases of alcohol
CloverClover97@reddit
If they are all drunk then get really good at pick pocketing, steal all the phones and wallets, profit, and no one will want to go to the party where people have sticky fingers
moeoriginal@reddit
"on a quite side street"
I think the fuck not.
TheTajinTycoon@reddit
Ask if anyone wants to smoke some wet
Should get real quite after that
and hell if not now you have a new buddy to do pcp with
ltcftp@reddit
Walk up to the party and light fireworks. Then leave immediately. Someone will call the cops or you can call it in. Repeat nightly until the cops crack down on the noise.
YoMommaSez@reddit
Selling is your only option.
Dear-Bet5344@reddit
MeanSam@reddit
Hell yeah! A couple of piss jugs should clear them out!
Historical-Remove401@reddit
You can find the owner through your local tax office. In my state, it’s free online to access.
Check to see if this is a short-term rental like Air B&B. If it is, it may be out of compliance with local laws. If it’s a regular rental, you can try contacting the landlord to report the tenants. Is this near a college? It could be a fraternity, which you can report to the college, and/or the fraternal national association.
Blast classical music louder than theirs, or any music unlike what they’re playing.
Hold_To_Expiration@reddit
Step 1: Find drugs, put it in packets Step 2: Spread packets while undercover during party time Step 3: Leave and anonymously report illegal drug use location to police
Thoughts?
GoodMilk_GoneBad@reddit
Actual drugs?? In this economy??
You can grow crystals at home with some household supplies. Put a few size and color appropriate in tiny bags and spread packets.
Hold_To_Expiration@reddit
Hey. Obtaining drugs is his business. Make it Happen...as you were, soldier.
TomatoOdd7716@reddit
Liquid ass. Before the party usually starts take some and sprinkle it all around. They won’t be able to tolerate the smell. $20 well spent. Keep doing it until they find a new spot
blurblurblahblah@reddit

Paintball guns for all of the neighbours, so nobody knows where they are coming from.

I had a guy who used to park his loud zippy sounding car in front of my house every night. I never heard him arrive but when he finished his nap at 3-4am his lawnmower sounding car was loud as fuck as he buzzed away.
I live next door to my mom, it was before she retired & had to wake up early for work & this asshole woke her up every night. After a week or so I slithered up the narrow alley between my house & the house next door at 2am with a handful of eggs & fired off a few. I got his windshield at least once & the hood twice. Then I sat on my ass, quietly in the darkness while he threw a fit & drove away. I gave him a couple days before I did it again from a different angle (my neighbours roof) I hunkered down while he had his hissy fit & he never came back after that.
I honestly don't give a fuck about whatever his sob story was. There was a empty parking lot at the bottom of my street & an area with a number of quiet places he could have stopped & napped a couple blocks away. The only reason I was aware of him was because of the disruption he caused when he peeled away.

Sue your realtor for failing to protect you from this. Bastards get 7% of a price that has tripled in 10 years time but their quality is still poor. Your realtor knew, or should have known this was a problem. You may not win but you may get lucky and be able to move on the winnings. Get media involved.
chaosperfect@reddit
Yeah, that's Boston for ya.
JTEL918@reddit
Report you saw someone pointing “what looks like a gun” at passing cars. Or, shut it down quick and fire your own gun up in the air a few times when the cops arrive on scene. I doubt that area will be a party zone after that.
zxcput@reddit
People can get killed that way

When talking to my older neighbor he said they used to party a couple blocks up the road untill a crazy white dude started firing lmaooo. Told him I wouldn't do that but hey creative problems need creative solutions

Liquid ass in a long range super soaker.
stabbingrabbit@reddit
Smoke bombs, huge can of bear spray with remote trigger.
NickWitATL@reddit
Make compost tea. Fill a bucket with weeds and water; seal for a few weeks. Use a sprayer to apply to the area. The smell is positively VILE. And it'll fertilizer lawns/plants organically.

Sounds like you moved to quiet side street in Allston. Save up and move out of the college neighborhood.
schwelvis@reddit
Get snacks, play really bad music, and join the party
rojo-perro@reddit
Stink bombs. There are chemicals that smell like all kinds of death and garbage and shit. Some last longer than others. Find those little glass vials that you can seal and just drop a few all around where they end up walking/driving/standing before they arrive.
