A man was furious after being harassed by the people living next door, as every time he used his back garden past 10pm, regardless of what it was for, the neighbours would complain

If you're lucky enough to have a garden, you'll know that when the weather warms up a bit you start to gravitate towards it. If the sun is out, you'll want to be able to lounge around and enjoy your outdoor space - whether that be by having a BBQ, chilling in a hot tub, or just sitting and listening to some tunes with pals.

But sometimes, your neighbours can be party poopers and make you feel uncomfortable when you're just minding your own business. That's why one man took to Reddit's 'Neighbours from Hell' forum to complain, as every time he was outside, the neighbours called the police to make a noise complaint, regardless of what he was up to.

He wrote: "I have a corner neighbour that everytime I'm in my backyard calls the police for a noise complaint.

"BBQ - noise complaint. Sitting by the fire pit - noise complaint. Smoking a cig - noise complaint. Going outside to play with the dog - noise complaint. Hot tub - noise complaint

"This neighbour will wait for exactly for 10 pm and then call for a noise complaint. I've had cops come to my back fence at 10.05 before. I've tried talking to them and they won't talk to me and the cops always just say 'well keep it down'.

"So I'm looking to this community for advice on how to deal with them or petty ways to get back at them."

People said the best way to get revenge on the neighbour was to try and prove they were harassing him.

One wrote: "Document each occurrence. Day, time, type of complaint, and police officer's names. Build a case for harassment."

Another suggested: "Go to the police station in person and tell them about the situation and that you are being harassed by your neighbour. Let the cops show up and ask them if they hear any noise? Oh you don't? Okay I'd like to make a harassment claim against them for abuse of emergency services. Get cameras if you don't have them already."

"Live your life", someone commented. "The neighbour isn't going to stop because they suck. You can just continue to live, unbothered. I do feel bad for the neighbor, they live such a horrible and miserable life."

One Redditor suggested making friends with the cops, writing: "Lean in to it. When the cops show up, tell them a funny story about the dog, tell them to swing by when they are off duty for some BBQ, or just talk about your special interest.

"Be polite and charming, make the neighbors look like idiots without being an obnoxious a**hole yourself."
