There are helpful neighbors, and then there are neighbors who just don’t understand boundaries—like the guy who turns your property into his personal project, all in the name of “being a good neighbor.” For one Redditor, u/Shot_Razzmatazz5560, neighborly “kindness” reached such epic proportions that it morphed from mildly annoying to full-on infuriating. And when polite hints and not-so-polite requests failed, it was time for some early-morning, car-alarm-powered petty revenge.

If you’re convinced your neighbor is a well-meaning but clueless overachiever, buckle up. This story is a masterclass in setting boundaries, wielding the power of a panic alarm, and ensuring that if someone wants attention, they’ll get it—just not the kind they hoped for.

Cartoon 3D illustration of a frustrated professional correcting coworker's misspelled name in an email.
In this playful cartoon-3D image, our protagonist navigates the daily struggle of receiving emails with misspelled names, highlighting the humorous side of workplace communication.

There’s an unspoken rule in the corporate world: spell people’s names right in emails. It’s the digital version of remembering someone’s birthday—not strictly necessary, but it goes a long way in showing respect (or at least basic attention). Yet, despite this, some people seem to butcher names with reckless abandon, even when the correct spelling is staring them in the face. If you’ve ever been a “Shaun” called “Sean” (or vice versa), you know the pain.

But what if you could turn the tables? What if, instead of sighing in frustration every time “Alyson” becomes “Allison,” you exacted a little harmless revenge? That’s exactly what one corporate hero did, and Reddit is here for it.

Let’s just say that in Porto, Portugal, one resident found a creative way to fight back. Spoiler: it didn’t involve angry confrontations or passive-aggressive sticky notes. Instead, it was a pitch-perfect act of petty revenge, powered by a very loud, very old door buzzer.
