Fussy neighbours are the worst. Feeling like you are walking on eggshells - quite literally to avoid making noice and rattling the cage that sleeps next door - they can make your life more miserable than loud neigbours.
One lad had enough and decided to share his annoying neighbours' texts as the ultimate 'fuck you!'
"On March 19th of this year, we got new neighbours. After having had three or four different people move in and out over a span of time (we live in low-income apartments), this was nothing new," Imgur user ChefSwasty begins.
It all started when he went down to introduce himself to the couple. Seeming fairly normal and noticing that they had a baby, he gave them his mobile number, explaining that he has an electronic drum kit (which he used for about 30 minutes a few times a week at 4pm when he gets in from work) and to let him know if he is too loud. Transpires that was the beginning of the end for this courteous lad.
Here's what followed.
The next day, he got the first of many texts.

I hate it when my neighbours chop vegetables - get a blender!

According to the Metro, he would regularly receive text messages 'within minutes of starting' his drumming. "Texts like these became frequent. I changed my schedule around a lot so I could fit some drum time in," he writes. "Most times, I would even wait for them to leave so that I could drum." His practice dropped to about once a week.
The incredibly annoying neighbours then began to complain about the TV when he wasn't even in the flat.

Trying at first to comply, as he didn't want to create bad vibes between them, he started to walk on eggshells to keep the peace.

How passive aggressive is that emoji?!

He documents one time when his parents were visiting and his dad picked up the drumsticks and 'hit a few pads'. Right on cue, the phone pinged...

During a band-practice session in Mid June, things heated up. "It consisted of me and my guitarist friend playing through headphones. My girlfriend couldn't hear us 10-feet away. I told them it'd go from 6-8pm, and she said okay," he writes.

The pissed-off neighbours then banged on the door, creating a lot of noise in the process, and started 'laying into' him - again making a lot of noise.
After a few weeks of, well pretty much not playing, he then received this.

Maintaining that the drumming does not exceed acceptable noise levels, he points out that he put memory foam down to reduce the vibration in the room.

After admitting defeat, he stopped playing completely but the texts kept coming.

No more Mr nice guy, he finally cracked.

I hope this lad learnt his lesson to never befriend your neighbours.
