This post is idiotic and so immature. Have you never heard the phrase that it’s none of our business what anyone thinks of you. You may be glaring at these people in the way you think they are looking at you. What if you’re both thinking the same thing? You are doing a lot of projecting and assuming too.

Little stuff…cigar innards, gum wrapper, parking receipt…once every 9 days or so. Don’t make it obvious. Also it’s going to get kicked to your side. Kick it back. (Make sure they don’t have cameras OP)

You could smoke on your balcony if it’s allowed and it would waft to theirs.
Make “ apartment noise” like you can’t play loud music but you can run a vacuum at weird hours. Open and close doors loudly.
Those are things that are considered apartment living and Police can’t do anything.


To make someone you don't like move, obviously.


This does not guarantee anyone moves and is wasting your time. Why don’t you just move!

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.


Actually it can be in some jurisdictions, with the requirement to abate the noise by use of more floor coverings and sound deadening panels. Obv you can’t muzzle the kid but you can be required to mitigate if their noise interferes with the quality of life of adjoining units.

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.


Someone has the right to not like you and maybe they have a valid reason given how you portray yourself here. You are not a kind person--you want worship and to be admired.

Maybe you should try another approach altogether, poster. Try inviting this neighbor for a dinner party - include some other neighbors you are friendly with. Studies show that the best and most effective way of breaking down prejudices is having real conversations with real people and learning that they are not a stereotype.

That goes both ways you know - a lot of prejudiced people are clinging to their prejudices to avoid grappling with the pain they wallow in otherwise. Under the surface of your neighbor's seeming nastiness is just another vulnerable human being. Try scratching the surface.


But on the other hand, the neighbor may never get over their prejudice. For example if they are of a particular religion and something about your behavior goes against their religion, you are not going to change their mind by being "nice" or by being vengeful. If your concern is that you don't like what is going on their brain vs any real tangible behavior toward you, you will just need to move on.

A friend of mine moved because her neighbor knocked on her door to complain about noise multiple times a day. She claims they would complain when she was doing normal things like talking to her husband or unloading the dishwasher. These were condos not apartments, and she was so aggravated she sold hers and moved. She tried renting it out and couldn’t keep anyone there because of the irritating neighbor. So you could be that person. I agree with PPs though, seems like a good way to get killed.

Eventually you'll tire of this little game, OP.

But you could always get them a subscription to sex toys, or something equally bound to lead to fights and mistrust. Send embarrassing letters revealing a second family to the husband, not the wife. Or a missive from a long-lost illegitimate child to the wife. Make sure to cover your tracks. Miserable people tend to move.

Actually, I highly recommend you move. I KNOW. It's not fair! I get it. Try your game first, while you look for someplace nice.
