What are the least neighbour friendly devices one can own?

I will get the ball rolling -

Blower Vac - just blow all the sh!t you don't want on your driveway and garden into the neighbours. It has to go somewhere?

Driveway floodlights pointed directly at your bedroom windows set to go off when a faint wind blows a leaf down their frickin driveway

Snotty kids that cry at the drop of a hat or are let out to go feral and throw their toys down stairs. Pussy parents then come out and make a huge fuss about poor little "Pointdexter" and "Siobhan" that might have a boo boo.
HTFU!!!!!!!!

Till my wife banned me and threatened divorce, testing my pulsejets in my driveway.
It shook the crockery out of our kitchen cupboards and broke her favorite tea cup her Nanna had given her.

bloody harleys
the tool who lives over back from me likes to go out his shed and rev the crap out of it.
doesnt seem to ever actually ride it though.

extraction fan from spraypainting booth, towards their place

(ahem )

Massive sound system. (No, funny about that, but the whole neighbourhood doesn't necessarily share your taste in music).

One of my neighbours had dobermans, and refused to keep them under control.

I really didnt like his choice of dawgs much [liked him even less] - his dobies kept trying to kill our lawnmowers, and I suspect they were guilty of tearing up a lot of other sheep in the area.

Yep, I really dont like dobermans - a bit too hard to peel by torchlight.

Just curious Chook, what do you want a pulse jet for? Had to google it and this is what I found. Man surprised you have a house after that...and an ability to hear!

Parents had neighbours continually having parties until the wee hours of the morning. After a month of this enough was enough.

We lined up our three 100 to 220w marshalls we had at the time and spanked those bitches, with some poorly played rage against the machine killing in the name of ....the fence was shaking.... They got the message.

For a push bike???

Here is Chook and the Lake Lefroy crew, creating beautiful music.

You have no idea of the noise level amount of aural pleasure generated

The frequency of the pulses screwed with many of the digital cameras present!

Fellas cutting firewood with a chainsaw about 1klick away thought thier chainsaw was faulty - as the jet's output was overcoming the chainsaw

Public opinion is that Chook needs to ruffle some feathers again.

That Colin Furze fella is an irresponsible fool!

Just look at him on that bike - no ruddy helmet

If he invites you inside for a nice quiet cuppa - take your earplugs.......

[look up colin furze - "jettle" on you tube]

and if you think leafblowers are a nuisance - Shi thouse - you should send the garden rubbish back next door with Colin's pulsejet powered contraption

Did you do it at a nice reasonable hour like 7 in the morning after one of their parties? That would have been just the thing to wake to the morning after.

Our deadbeat neighbours set up a drum kit in their back yard right next to our boundary. It was closer to our house than it was to theirs! No soundproofing either, effectively open air. Not even close to complying with council noise regulations.

They also like loud stereo with lots of bass, working on cars, leaf blowers, chainsaws, chopping wood on their concrete slab, screaming arguments at each other full of obscenities and dropping their litter all over the verge. All at any hour of the day or night. Their kids used to be noisy too - they've quietened down a bit now but I'd rather have a bunch of kids outside during their normal waking hours than the rest of the noise and mess they're still making.

I'd like to do like eppo and run the 1000cc v-twin with the mufflers off right next to the fence for a bit, but GreenWife says I can't.

big fella I have one of those professional big ass husqvarna backpack petrol leaf blowers...the thing can move piles of bloody sand!...bring it down to ya, we can crank it up and give your neighbour something to blow back.

Incessantly barking dogs would top my list of least neighbour friendly devices. Pricks near me leave theirs home alone when they go on holidays, does my head in.

Eppo, I reckon you would need that blower vac champ, hasn't your neighbour got a friendly tree that dumps heaps of crap on your side? Or was Captain Roundup successful!!

Peoples cats fighting in the front yard at 2 O'clock in the morning.
Do us a favour and keep your cat inside at night or don't get all ACA when your cat goes missing or ends up skinned.

yep know it well

Beside our vacant block in town the neighbours were building a new 2 story home. They did a cleanup and rather than get a skip, they threw all the broken bricks, roof tiles timber off cuts and general building left over crap over their retaining wall onto my block.
I saw them there one day when I was going past and asked them politely to make sure they remove their mess and I got told my pedigree, in no uncertain terms that wasn't going to happen.

I was doing a job just up the road a few weeks with my Cat 930 loader and they had obviously gone to work.
I built a ramp over the low retaining wall and proceeded to pick up all the crap along with a lot of grass and bush with the loader and gently spread it along their verandahs being careful not to break the full length windows. I managed to get 7 full buckets spread along the freshly paved verandas in between the brick pillars.

My block looked magic after that and I never heard a peep from them.
They never even wave when I'm mowing my block either.

Awesome

I bought the kids a basketball ring for Xmas.
Huge mistake.
2nd most annoying noise is a bouncing basketball on concrete. Drives me nuts so I imagine how the neighbours feel.

Leaf blower wins it hands down.
