'My entitled neighbour leaves his dog to bark outside at 3am so I got revenge'
A man has been praised for his 'petty revenge' on a neighbour who leaves their dog barking outside all through the night. He explained how the barking keeps him awake at night and despite asking his neighbour to do something about it, the neighbour laughs and refuses.
So, to teach him a lesson, he decided to get his own back on his 'entitled' neighbour. Taking to Reddit, he said: "Every night from midnight to 3am his dog would bark non-stop right outside my bedroom. Deep loud echoing barks like he was announcing the end of the world. I asked my neighbour twice to bring the dog in. Both times he brushed it off with a smirk and said "he's just doing his job. Cool. Then I'll do mine"
With that, he started recording to barking on his phone and played it full volume on a speaker through the wall at 6am to wake up his neighbour. He added: "I repeated that for two mornings. No yelling. No threats. Just his own dog giving him a taste of what I'd been dealing with.
"On day three the dog was inside before 10PM. Hasn't barked at night since. Sometimes the best revenge is pressing play"
Commenting on his post, one user said: "I had that problem so I'd put my speaker outside on my wall and played 'We Built this City on Rock and Roll' on repeat for three hours. Another user added: "Wonderfully petty - and effective - love it!"
A third user said: "My dad used to get up at 5am to go to work every day. Anytime the neighbour's dog woke him up during the night, they got a knock on the door around 5.30. Dad would just casually let them know he was off to work and their dog woke him up."
One more user added: "When my neighbour's dog wouldn't stop barking out in their yard I took a flashlight and aimed the beam at the side of the house.
"The stupid dog chased the beam of light and jumped all over the house. They would come out and yell King stop jumping! and I would start all over again when they went back in... until they finally brought him in."
A final user said: "Years ago my parents had a tenant who would play disco music at an appalling volume every morning at 2:00 am.
"We begged her to stop and she never did. I finally got fed up with her and my brother and I decided to get back at her.
"We parked a very large first amp at her back door and then I added an additional 30 decibels to the song 'Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead' from the Wizard of Oz and attached my CD player to my brother's guitar amp and then we waited. The next night her music went on and two minutes later, so did ours.
"I thought her shoe was going to explode it was so loud. It blasted out for about two minutes before I heard her yelling she was turning the music off. We had to repeat it a few times, but she eventually got the message."

My mother-in-law wore white to my wedding, then she excluded me from photos ‘in case it didn't work out'
A WOMAN has revealed the horror her mother-in-law unleashed on her wedding day. Taking to social media, the now wife revealed her husband's mother did everything she could to make the day about her, including wearing a white dress. 2 2 In the Reddit post, she shared two images from her wedding day and blurred out the faces. While you can often tell who is the bride by the white dress, these pictures were unclear as her mother-in-law decided to wear one too. In the first image, the bride and groom were surrounded by both of their parents, her mum wore an appropriate pink and black dress. But her mother-in-law decided to go all out wearing a white mid-length dress with a full skirt. She even put pink flowers on the neckline, similar to the bride's pink satin bow at the front of her dress. But that wasn't the only problem the bride faced on her wedding day 15 years ago. Taking to the Wedding Shaming forum, she said: "My MIL (mother-in-law) wore a white, short dress to the wedding. She also told me to get out of the frame for the 2nd pic." The next picture showed the groom and his mum hugging with her arms wrapped around him, something you'd find the happy couple posing for. The bride added: "First picture is our parents together, with us. She wanted to be next to my husband for every pic, so she abandoned her husband to pose with my mom when she switched sides. "She kept asking my photographer to take pics without me in them in case things didn't work out. I was fuming when I found out the reason my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding - now they're uninvited "She took the photographer for like 10 minutes for a family-only shoot. "It was so embarrassing for my soul. 15 years later, she's still a butthole." People were horrified by the story and were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. Fortunately, the couple managed to escape her overbearing mother-in-law and moved to a different continent four months after the ceremony. One person wrote: "She seems like one of those gross mums who wishes she could have married her own son." Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. Another commented: "Beyond tacky and audacious. She looks like she's dressed for junior prom. His one finger just touching her hip while she's wrapped around him is killing me." "She looks terrible in that dress. She made a fool out of herself," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Jesus this is embarrassing to witness." "What fresh hell is this. So tacky,' claimed a fifth

Serena Williams makes rare sighting with her husband and two children in New York City
Serena Williams beat the summer heat while showcasing her toned legs during a family outing on Thursday. The Grand Slam champ, 43, who some fans think is 'too thin' after seeing a recent bikini snap, stepped out in a burgundy romper while enjoying a rare public outing with her husband and two children in New York City. The Wyn Beauty founder wore a pair of metallic flip-flops for her foray into The Big Apple. She accessorized with a necklace with a heart pendant, earrings and carried on phone on a chain across her torso and dark sunglasses. Her makeup looked natural with a neutral red lip and her long, blonde hair was pulled back in a low ponytail. The Wimbledon winner carried what appeared to be a laptop in one hand and her little Yorkie in the other. Her husband, Alexis Ohanian, 41, kept his look low-key, wearing a black T-shirt and athleisure pants with black and white sneakers. The Reddit co-founder wore a black billed hat over his dark hair and sported a neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard. The tech investor carried their youngest daughter, Adira, 21 months, who looked cute in blue jeans, a white T-shirt with navy trim and white sneakers. Their oldest daughter, Alexis Olympia, seven, looked ready for action in a white crop top and matching doggers with white sneakers. Her dark hair was pulled back into a low ponytail just like her mother's. On what appeared to be a separate outing, Williams juggled both her kids and the pup, while a woman who appeared to be an assistant carried to laptop. In a recent social media post, Williams, did a bit of a humble brag to demonstrate her athletic prowess and her ability to multi-task. The photo shows the gold medal winner holding her toddler during tennis practice. 'I never thought I would have to carry my doubles partner,' she wrote next to the mother-daughter photo.

'I never thought I would have to carry my doubles partner,' she wrote She added a caution, telling fans 'don't try this at home!' Williams retired from professional tennis in 2022, but the photo fueled speculation she may be returning to the game. 'I miss it a lot, with all my heart. I miss it because I'm healthy. If I couldn't walk, or if I was so out of it, I wouldn't miss it as much,' she told Time magazine in April. 'I just can't peel myself away from these children. 'Another reason I had to transition was that I wanted to have more kids. And I look at Adira, and I'm like, "Was it worth it?" I thought about it the other day. I was like, "Yeah, it was worth it."'

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's ‘peace talks' won't work – their TRUE motive was so confused, slams pro
A ROYAL expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 'peace talks' had a strategic motive - alongside trying to repair their family relationship. King Charles ' and Prince Harry's senior aides reportedly held a secret summit in July aiming to resolve the bitter royal feud. 9 9 The private meeting - held at a London private members' club - was hailed as the first step towards a "rapprochement process" between Harry, 40, and the rest of the Royal Family, sources claim. However, Newsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent, Jack Royston, said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex want more than just reconciliation. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show this week, he claimed: 'I think the reason behind it is fundamentally because Harry had a clear-out, and Meghan had a clear-out of their PR team on both sides of the Atlantic. 'They brought new people in who have come with new energy and a real determination to move the dial in terms of public opinion, move the dial in terms of media coverage of the Sussexes, and, that comes with it, move the dial in terms of the relationship with the palace.' The British monarchy has spent years dealing with the fallout of Prince Harry 's decision to marry former actress Meghan after the two hit out at the family and stepped down as senior royals. News commentator Samara Gill claims Prince Harry is keen to repair his fractious relationship with King Charles, 76, given his cancer struggle - and alluded to this in May. She added: 'I think he's trying to get reconciliation before the king goes. 'I mean, he did obviously say in that BBC interview, 'I don't know how much longer my father has left', and obviously dropped a bunch more bombshells in that interview. 'Though it wasn't that long ago, so it's kind of crazy now that they're trying to share diary slots and trying to figure out how he can kind of get back in with the royal fold, because Queen Elizabeth II did say, 'you can't have it both ways, you can't be one foot in, one foot out royals. I don't want that.' 'And I think that this is really betraying what she wanted for them.' Harry & Meghan peace talks motive EXPOSED - they'll beg for handouts now Netflix deal's scrapped 9 9 The royal expert said that the Sussexes need to decide if they want to be in the royal fold, or out. She continued: 'They need to choose. I just don't agree with this hybrid situation. 'They're like typical millennial royals who want to do, like, gig economy jobs in the royal family or something. They brought new people in who have come with new energy and a real determination to move the dial in terms of public opinion, move the dial in terms of media coverage of the Sussexes Jack RoystonNewsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent 'I don't exactly know what their whole plan is. 'It's a very confused strategy. And I do agree that they've got a better team who's clearly trying to fashion something out of this, but I just think it's a very confused, dilapidated thing and I don't see it going anywhere.' BBC BOMBSHELL Prince Harry recently gave an extraordinary BBC interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. In a fresh scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears". Speaking of the revelations, Jack said: 'That BBC interview was a huge moment and Harry clearly experienced restraint, basically. 'He'd clearly gone in. I'm sure that they had that interview booked in the diary before they knew the outcome of the case and Harry probably imagined that he was going to go in there and give this plea for reconciliation with his family. 'Then he saw we'd lost the case and just was furious about it and so he started giving these swipes at Charles in the middle of this interview that was supposed to be calling for reconciliation. 'And so I thought that that had a huge potential to blow any chance that he had, but it is promising to see this new... kind of these new meetings taking place.' 9 ROYAL RECONCILIATION Speaking on whether or not we are likely to see Prince Harry repairing his relationship with King Charles, Jack stated: 'I think there's a chance we will, but I do think Charles is going to need to be slightly dragged into it. 'I think Charles got to a point after his diagnosis where I think he took a decision that he needed to protect his peace and that his younger son was causing him a significant amount of stress and anxiety in his life, and so he took a decision that he needed to focus on his health and getting back to the place that he needed to be, and that meant not exhaustingly spending all of his time running around after Harry. 'And so Harry is going to have to show Charles that having a relationship is not going to be exhausting and draining for him if Harry's serious about wanting to repair that relationship. 'And so it's going to have to be softly, softly, and Harry's probably going to have to soak some stuff up along the way. 'Charles has soaked up a huge amount of pain and turned the other cheek, not fought back, except in small ways like taking Frogmore Cottage away. 'And it's Harry's turn. Harry's going to have to soak up a lot as well.' 9 BROKEN BOND In his bombshell BBC interview Harry claimed a reconciliation with his family lies in Charles' hands. He said: "I would like to get my father and brother back." Insiders say the recent talks are the strongest sign in years that both sides are determined to resolve the bitter Windsor feud. A source said: "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years. "There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about." I think Charles got to a point after his diagnosis where I think he took a decision that he needed to protect his peace and that his younger son was causing him a significant amount of stress and anxiety in his life Jack RoystonNewsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent Harry was represented by his chief communications officer and head of his household in Montecito, California, Meredith Maines. She is said to have flown in from Los Angeles specially for the talks. Liam Maguire, head of the Sussexes' PR team in the UK, was also present. The King was represented by his communications secretary Tobyn Andreae. 9 The details of the conversation have remained private with Ms Maines jetting back to the US as soon as the meeting ended. Harry opened up a number of wounds when he spoke to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey alongside his new wife about how Meghan was allegedly treated during her time as part of the family. Meghan claimed she was left suicidal due to how she was treated as Harry said that questions were raised about the colour of their child's skin colour by other royals. 9 The Prince would also publish his bombshell book Spare in 2023 after moving to California which stirred up further controversies. Ever since, Harry has been left out in the cold by his fellow hardworking royals. He reportedly hasn't seen Charles in years with his last direct communication with brother William coming in 2022. The feuding brothers reportedly didn't even speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. Inside Prince William and Prince Harry's 'feud' TENSIONS have been running high in the royal family since Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle. Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle. But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare - and they are said to have not been in direct contact since the 2023 release. In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan. The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry. The bitter feud was ignited when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour. It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan's former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame. During the infamous Oprah interview, the duchess also made stinging comments about the Firm and how they handled her mental health struggles. Prince William and Harry's bond then worsened after the Sussexes made a number of accusations against the Royal Family in their 2022 Netflix docuseries. The duke has given subsequent interviews, such as his most BBC chat in May 2025, that have only propelled bad blood.
