'My entitled neighbour leaves his dog to bark outside at 3am so I got revenge'
A man has been praised for his 'petty revenge' on a neighbour who leaves their dog barking outside all through the night. He explained how the barking keeps him awake at night and despite asking his neighbour to do something about it, the neighbour laughs and refuses.
So, to teach him a lesson, he decided to get his own back on his 'entitled' neighbour. Taking to Reddit, he said: "Every night from midnight to 3am his dog would bark non-stop right outside my bedroom. Deep loud echoing barks like he was announcing the end of the world. I asked my neighbour twice to bring the dog in. Both times he brushed it off with a smirk and said "he's just doing his job. Cool. Then I'll do mine"
With that, he started recording to barking on his phone and played it full volume on a speaker through the wall at 6am to wake up his neighbour. He added: "I repeated that for two mornings. No yelling. No threats. Just his own dog giving him a taste of what I'd been dealing with.
"On day three the dog was inside before 10PM. Hasn't barked at night since. Sometimes the best revenge is pressing play"
Commenting on his post, one user said: "I had that problem so I'd put my speaker outside on my wall and played 'We Built this City on Rock and Roll' on repeat for three hours. Another user added: "Wonderfully petty - and effective - love it!"
A third user said: "My dad used to get up at 5am to go to work every day. Anytime the neighbour's dog woke him up during the night, they got a knock on the door around 5.30. Dad would just casually let them know he was off to work and their dog woke him up."
One more user added: "When my neighbour's dog wouldn't stop barking out in their yard I took a flashlight and aimed the beam at the side of the house.
"The stupid dog chased the beam of light and jumped all over the house. They would come out and yell King stop jumping! and I would start all over again when they went back in... until they finally brought him in."
A final user said: "Years ago my parents had a tenant who would play disco music at an appalling volume every morning at 2:00 am.
"We begged her to stop and she never did. I finally got fed up with her and my brother and I decided to get back at her.
"We parked a very large first amp at her back door and then I added an additional 30 decibels to the song 'Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead' from the Wizard of Oz and attached my CD player to my brother's guitar amp and then we waited. The next night her music went on and two minutes later, so did ours.
"I thought her shoe was going to explode it was so loud. It blasted out for about two minutes before I heard her yelling she was turning the music off. We had to repeat it a few times, but she eventually got the message."

I'm 19 and my sister hasn't invited me to her 'child-free' wedding but STILL expects a gift. Am I wrong for being furious?
A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day. The bitter family feud was laid bare in a now-viral Reddit post, where the younger sibling revealed she'd been left off the invite list for her sister's wedding because she's a teen. She later received an unsolicited link to the bride's lavish gift registry. Confused by the unexpected message, the teen messaged her asking if it was in fact her registry link. 'What else could it possibly be?' her older sister responded curtly. When the younger woman asked why it was sent to her, the bride replied: '??? You're my sister'. That's when her sibling pointed out the obvious - that she wasn't invited to the wedding. The bride, undeterred, claimed that it is common for people who can't make a wedding to still give the happy couple a gift. A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day The college student, who did not name herself didn't hold back. 'Can't make it =/= not invited,' she wrote. As it transpired, the real reason for the older sister had left her off the invite list was because it was a 'child-free wedding'. 'I'm a fully grown adult,' her sister argued. A defence for the argument, with both based in America, could be the view that the 19-year-old is a minor in regard to the country-wide drinking law of over 21. To which the younger sibling then pointed out the irony of the situation, writing that they were having a dry wedding - so it really shouldn't matter. Things quickly spiralled with the bride dismissing the argument altogether. Still standing her ground, the teen reiterated that she was an adult. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word But the bride doubled down. 'It's my wedding and you're a teenager. It's clear by your reaction to my own wedding you are not mature enough to attend adult events or exist in adult spaces,' she said. Naturally, the exchange sparked a frenzy online, with thousands rushing to the teen's defence and labelling the bride 'entitled' and 'completely out of touch'. 'It's customary if you can't make it - not if you aren't invited at all. Your sister is delusional,' one Reddit user declared. 'And children aren't expected to give gifts at a wedding, regardless of whether they're invited.' 'This is the perfect response,' one said of the teen's blunt messages. 'And yes, OP needs to drag the parents into this too. Bridezilla is their creation.' Others were equally savage. 'Sis is being a child, who needs an etiquette lesson,' one wrote. 'Who begs a college kid for a gift and throws a hissy fit when she gets a reasonable no?' 'This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Older teens aren't children regarding being invited to a wedding - and mine was child free,' one more added. While the bride may have been expecting an air fryer or a fancy blender, it seems all she received was a viral roasting and a lesson in wedding etiquette. More hilariously, it was all courtesy of a Gen Z sibling who doesn't suffer fools (or unsolicited registries) lightly. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word. 'It's my money. Not getting a gift. And begging for expensive crap from a broke college student is cringe as hell,' the younger sister wrote. 'You're being immature and unsupportive,' the bride replied. The final reply was perhaps the pettiest of all. '*Fart noises*,' the youngest wrote. 'My point stands,' the eldest concluded.

I bought a children's toy, but the instructions were in Chinese...can you figure out what it is supposed to be?
Doctor's kits, construction tools, and kitchen sets are often very common items in the toy aisle. But as the years go on, they seem to get more and more intricate, and without an instruction manual it can be difficult to discern what exactly your child is playing with. That's the problem a parent on Reddit ran into before uploading a photo to the site's 'What is this thing' thread. FlakyPhilosophy5103 posted the picture in hopes of getting to the bottom of a toy box mystery that had been bothering them for months. Along with a picture of two colorful children's toys, the poster wrote: 'Is anyone able to help me know what these things are supposed to be please? It has been bugging me for months. 'The kit was in Chinese so I am none the wiser.' They described the small plastic items as a 'scraper' and a 'round item' which came in a child's doctor kit. Fortunately, parents flocked to the comment section to help the parent identify exactly which fictitious procedures their child would be performing with the mysterious plastic tools. At first, there were a couple of well-meaning, but totally off-base guesses. One user commented: 'Could the blue thing be one of those reflex hammers?' Another theorized: 'Maybe the blue thing is a strange tongue depressor? Like, with a funky angle to get the large handle out of the line of sight, from before disposables?' A third said: 'The pink thing looks like the eye test where the doc switches out lenses.' One person even though the pink round object and blue plastic toy could be a dental X-ray machine and tooth guard. But the overwhelming consensus took the right answer in a different direction. Comparing the items to play doctor's kits online and toys of their own, as always, Reddit commenters were able to get to the bottom of it. 'I think the blue thing is supposed to be a scalpel,' said one answer. The commenters confirmed that the pink toy was supposed to be a doctor's light 'It's a surgery light and a scalpel, we have the same kit,' said another. People uploaded photos of similar kits which labeled the items as a scalpel and a spotlight, confirming their theories. The original asker posted a response, confirming that the solution had been found: 'Solved! Thanks all. It seems scalpel and surgery light is the answer. Maybe I can listen properly next time she is playing rather than wondering!'

Love Island fans uncover villa girl's gameplan as they say ‘she's not into him at all' about love interest
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have become convinced that one couple are set to split after leaving the villa – after picking up on the girl's 'gameplan'. With the series finale coming tomorrow, the last few days of the villa have seen the islanders begin to lock down their romances. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Love Island fans aren't convinced angel and Ty are in it for the long haul 6 SThe Love Island couple are just days away from the finale 6 Fans think Angel's jetset luxury lifestyle won't fit with Ty's working class background Credit: instagram But after Ty asked Angel if they could 'go exclusive' – essentially making them boyfriend/girlfriend in all but name – her reaction has left viewers believing there's doubt in place for Angel. Throw in differing lifestyles, and some are thinking that they could already be on the way out. A Reddit poster explained: 'Hear me out. Angel is a fairly big Instagram influencer, who if you look at her instagram seems to be all about the boujee life. 'Her entire feed is her hanging with super stunning models all with huge followings on yachts in Spain, ski trips in the French Alps, constant trips to Dubai and seems to be living a pretty expensive glamorous life.' 'Ty is a sweetheart but does seem just like a genuine working class guy from a normal background,' they added. 'Absolutely nothing wrong with that, I just find it hard to believe this is the type of guy Angel is genuinely interested in with the lifestyle she projects on Instagram.' They added that 'girls who live that lifestyle seem to often be looking for a certain type of man', and continued: 'Last night's episode was when I really noticed it most. 'There is a certain distance in the way she connects with him, especially when he asked her to go exclusive, everything is just kind of wafty and airy in her voice and doesn't seem real or passionate about anything he has to say.' 'I believe she is a huge game player like Dejon but isn't as dumb as him to make it so obvious to those in the villa or the public,' they concluded, saying she "goes with the flow and doesn't cause drama", allowing Angel to skirt through. Other posters quickly picked up on the moment, and agreed that something about Angel and Ty's romance didn't feel authentic. 'Not gonna lie, I don't buy Angel's act at all. She was definitely eyeing up Harry from the jump, but obviously wanted to secure a spot in Meg's little 'mother hen' squad for that protection,' replied one. 'And because she rocked up late, she just clung to Ty as a safe bet. 'Get her out' rant Love Island fans as they call for 'sly' star to be kicked off the show 'Half the stuff Angel says is just silly, like she's trying to be something, but ends up being absolutely nothing.' 'I thought she liked him up until last night, when he asked her to go exclusive,' agreed a second. 'Like you said her reaction was very wishy washy. 'However in saying that they are quite fresh, so maybe she was just taken aback by how soon it was. 'Ty was also really her only option, and it just so happened he was single at the time.' 'When they leave the villa, he'll be in the influencer lifestyle too so I think they'll last whilst they're riding the fame, and whilst they're all in London constantly for events and interviews and stuff,' noted a third. 'And when the love island 2025 hype dies down, those break up statements will be out on instagram 😂' Others commented on the fact that she claimed that distance would be an issue for them as they start their relationship – asking 'why that was an issue when she travels the world but can travel 150 miles to Barnsley' where Ty's based. Ty and Angel are within breathing distance of the finish line, with the finale airing tomorrow night and a new winning couple being crowned. However, their position in the finale isn't secured just yet, with one last shock dumping set to rock the villa in scenes set to air tonight. The remaining couples still in the villa are: Ty and Angel, Meg and Dejon, Toni and Cach, Shakira and Harry, and Yasmin and Jamie. Who will be our top four for this year? Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2. 6 Angel often boasts about the multiple countries she visits on Instagram Credit: instagram 6 Will Ty and Angel survive in the outside world?
