Not really me. A friend of mine is moving out of state. His neighbor has been a total dick the entire time he’s lived there. Constantly commenting on how my friend’s yard isn’t as good as his. Mean to my friend’s wife and kids for no reason. Just an asshole of a person.

What are some ideas for fun pranks my friend can leave behind?

    Spread dandelion seeds. You can buy them online and literally just toss them everywhere and he will never be rid of them. Or kudzu Vine that shit never goes away

      Can spread to other neighbors’ yards. I like the fertilizer idea because it doesn’t spread.

      Don’t intentionally spread invasive plants, local ecosystems have it hard enough as it is.

      You can get them in pink and white too! As an extra fuck you over the normal yellow which can happen on their own.

      Make seed bombs of pink dandelions and launch them before a storm.

      Side note; I want pink dandelions but I’m sure my neighbors would hate me… but I also have an asshole neighbor and I’ve totally thought about seeding his property with them and letting them spread to mine…. I won’t do it, because cameras, but I want to so much.

    I heard of this funny trick where you put a bag of ice over the pilot light of his boiler. The boiler will put out gas until the ice melts and the pilot light comes back on.

    And let’s justr say, that’s when the prank really ‘pops’ off

    Plant catnip all across your future former garden. Preferably close to the neighbour’s terrain. Make sure that it’s really easy for stray cats to reach their newest drug den.

    Cat fights are bloody annoying to hear.

    When I was a kid in a second world country, you would put yeast in his latrine. That would teach him.

    Unfortunately, that is probably no longer applicable.

    Let Scientology and the Jehovah’s witnesses know he’s interested in knowing more. Do the same with military recruiters.

    Sign him up to receive junk mail from sex toy stores. Use his name and his neighbors’ addresses. Maybe try to get travel brochures sent to him for countries known for sex tourism.

      If you are very evil, sign him up to recieve questional stuff, but use your other neighbor’s adresses. Ideally not something that will be repeatedly spammed at them.

        Nah, that only works in super close-knit, small town communities.

        I don’t know any of my neighbor’s last names and I’ve lived here for 12 years. I’m in a semi-small town. I know my direct neighbors first names, and that’s about it, because anything more is unnecessary.

        If I got something sent to a random name at my address, I’d treat it the same way as junk mail addressed to me; recycled without a second thought. I still get stuff for 3 other former residents, including pension stuff, despite being here over a decade so…

          I keep to myself, so I have no idea what I could’ve done to piss them off. I also get periodic mail for the previous homeowner, despite me living here for almost 7 years.

    If you wanna spend money, glitter mail. or if its a house, set up a flood light pointed at their house and set it up on a random timer for only at night and blast them with “security” lighting.

    Attract tons of wild life with the food you need to get rid of.

    Sign up for grindr and start sending people their way.

    Learn the noise ordinance laws and maximize that to the fullest for a short period

    Stand on the property line constantly and try looking through their windows, or watch them, if they approach, quickly leave (don’t enter their property)

    Sign them up for stuff. Especially if you can find their email through LinkedIn etc.

    Or, just move on since they will be out of your life regardless, don’t spend your energy on them,they aren’t worth it

    Edit: Actually rather than grindr, send scalpers, leave good people out of these shenanigans

    If Canadian, chuck a bag of milk in his eavestroughing. The heat will rot the milk and the bag will degrade in the sun till one day it fails, releasing STANK.

    If his TV is close enough to the window to see what he’s watching, and you can find a remote with enough range to change the channel from your own house, well, you know the rest.

    Throw wildflower seeds (non invasive) over onto his perfectly manicured yard.

    Another one is a long con: befriend crows, get them to come to your friend’s house to feed. The neighbor will likely sho them away which will aggravate them. Crows hold grudges for a REALLY long time and only shit where they don’t eat, aka his yard.

    Don’t. We’re all stuck on this little ball of rock together, and making each other miserable just makes life worse for everyone.

    Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I’ve only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

    If your, erm, “friend” is planning to but has not sold your his house, then this is an even more terrible idea that asks for trouble.

      What, you think I don’t have any friends? Sigh. You are mostly correct. But I have this one.

      He’s been renting for years. He’s definitely moving. All clear.

    Look up where the property line really is, and if the neighbor is encroaching get it surveyed and enforced the the new owner can reclaim part of the neighbor’s land
