If you wanted to legally and safely annoy an apartment neighbor,

Have shady looking friends visit at all hours.

Right next door. Apartments are kind of railroad style so everything lines up-- living room next to living room, kitchen next to kitchen, first bedroom next to bedroom, etc.

So I want to avoid direct interaction, but are there things someone might reasonably keep by their front door that would annoy you to see all the time? Assume this is a person you absolutely hate (my neighbor hates me, for reasons that are extremely offensive, so I'm just looking to aggravate him passively enough that he leaves).

Why don’t you like them? Are you prejudiced? Did they wrong you somehow? If they’re not doing these kind of things to you, why can’t you get along? Perhaps you’re not cut out for living with a shared wall.

Signs that advocate for political positions that are the opposite of the neighbor’s?

I love kids giggling but the sound of that frim sun up to sundown would drive me nuts

Children laughing and singing wouldn’t be a noise violation. It’s apartment living.

Specifically, always have long conversations with people in the hallway. I'd always be irritated when my neighbors would strike up 30-minute long conversations, and wait for them to leave before I'd leave, lest I be drawn into some irritating small talk that's hard to escape from.

They don't like me, and it is rooted in prejudice. They say nasty things about me to all our neighbors and never speak to me and glare at me whenever I see them. It makes me uncomfortable but there is nothing they have technically done to me. But I'd like to make it unpleasant for them to live there until they move. There are several reasons why they probably don't like living here, I'd just like to help them along and hopefully get a neighbor there who is less hostile towards me. They make me uneasy.

This is a good idea (this would also annoy me if right outside my door) but the layout of our building is such that there's not good reason for anyone else who lives in our building to be right near our apartment doors. I have been hosting guests much more frequently (not big parties but just frequent dinner parties, having people over for the Super Bowl, New Years, etc.) which I do think aggravates them. So I'm looking for more stuff like this.

Not PP but this is never going to work. Your a-hole racist neighbors will still be there when you move out. Stop devoting mental energy to them and just work towards finding a better living situation.

Nothing that could provide a noise complaint or could justifiably be called a nuisance. Just stuff that would be irritating/make you want to move.

You might be a lowlife human being, poster.

Have a party and be a sparkling nice lovely person, while not making too much noise too late.

If he does not come, charm everyone else as much as you can and mention many times to many people that he discriminated against you, maybe, you think? Gosh is that possible? He seemed nice but he said....

If he does come, be your most (insert ethnicity/sexual orientation/gender/whatever) self and be proud and charming about it. Make him squirm.

Never try to wait out a jerk, not in an apartment building and not at a job. Just move.

I assume he discriminate against you due to your ethnicity? Start giving out delicious ethnic treats to everyone for holidays. But make sure they are crowd pleasers. Aim to have everyone rave about them to the point that you have to share recipes on the apartment message board and have people respond with enthusiasm.
