Old Neighbor Keeps Calling the Cops on Young Couple for No Reason

• After moving into a new house, a couple had to deal with police officers coming to their place frequently.
• Soon, they learned one of their neighbors had been calling the cops on them for no reason.
• Feeling frustrated, the couple decided to take revenge on their elderly neighbor.

Moving to a new place comes with many responsibilities, including maintaining a cordial relationship with your neighbors. When a couple moved into a new neighborhood, they had no idea that one of their neighbors would make it difficult for them to live in peace.

A man with the username "xProperlyBakedx" shared his story on Reddit's "pettyrevenge" forum. He revealed what happened when he and his wife moved into a one-bedroom apartment that had been vacant for a long time.

"The woman on the other side of our only shared wall was an elderly woman. She never spoke to us but was never overtly rude to us," the man shared. At the time, the couple didn't give much importance to the woman until they experienced something unexpected.

Soon after the couple moved into their apartment, they received a notice for excessive noise. The couple found it strange because they had never hosted parties at home or invited friends over. They had no idea why someone complained about them making noise.

They immediately called the office and told them about the notice. After listening to their story, the authorities told them not to worry, saying it must have been a misunderstanding.

"About a week later [we] get a knock on our door. It's the police. We open the door to see what's up. They tell us a neighbor has called and complained we were being too loud. We were literally sitting in our living room watching TV," the man recounted. "We showed the officers as much, and they apologized and left. This happened several more times over the coming months."

Who Was Calling the Cops?

In the following months, the police repeatedly showed up at the couple's house with the same story: a neighbor had called the cops, claiming the couple was being too loud.

One day, the man and his wife returned home after watching a movie and found police officers standing at their doorstep. This time, the couple had solid proof that they were not making noise. They showed their movie tickets to the cops and opened their apartment for the police to see that it was dark and silent. The man recounted:

"At this point, the officers said, OK, we'll take care of this."

After the man went inside the house with his wife and closed his door, he heard the officers speaking to their next-door neighbor and warning her to stop calling them. This made it clear to the couple that the elderly lady living next to them was the one calling the cops on them for no reason.

A few days later, the man and his wife returned home from somewhere when they saw the older lady park her car beside theirs. The man's wife decided this was the right time to ask her why she had been calling the police.

However, when she went near the vehicle, the older lady locked herself inside and began crying. Confused, the man's wife went to the apartment's office and told them what happened.

"I went inside and waited at the peephole," the man said. At that point, he decided to take revenge on the older woman and teach her a lesson so she would never call the cops on them again.

What Did the Man Do to Take Revenge?

Once the older woman exited her car and used her walker to get to her apartment, the man waited for her to pass by his door. When he saw her standing outside his door, he took a few steps back and kicked at the door with all his power. He recalled:

"She screams, lifting her walker into the air and screams as she nearly sprints to her apartment."

After scaring her, the man knew what would happen, so he immediately plugged in his vacuum cleaner and began cleaning the house. Soon, the cops arrived at his doorstep, asking if he had kicked the door while the woman was passing by. The man pretended he was shocked and lied to the police that he hadn't done anything like that, and the police bought it.

At the end of his Reddit post, the man stated that the older woman was not allowed to renew her lease after the last incident. She also never called the cops on them again.

When other Redditors read the man's post, they shared their opinions in the comments section. Most people said the man did the right thing by taking revenge on the older woman.

Meanwhile, other users shared similar stories of neighbors who made their lives difficult. One netizen said their neighbor used to listen to music on speakers at maximum volume. She revealed what her husband did to stop their neighbor from being so loud.
