How Liquid Ass Silenced the Loudest Party Neighbors on Reddit (and Sparked a Stinky Revolution)
Moving into a new apartment is always a gamble. Will your neighbors be friendly and quiet, or will you find yourself trapped next to a real-life frat house? For one Redditor, u/fedexpoopracer, the answer turned out to be much smellier than expected. Their story, posted to r/PettyRevenge, quickly became a viral sensation—not only for its creative solution to a classic neighbor problem but also for the riotous responses it sparked from the Reddit community.
This is the tale of how a can of “Liquid Ass” became the unlikely hero in an epic battle for peace and quiet during the pandemic. Buckle up (and maybe pinch your nose), because this story really, really stinks—in the best possible way.
New Neighbors, New Nightmares
When the original, quiet couple across the hall moved out, our protagonist had no idea what was coming next. Their replacements? A couple who seemed to have missed the memo on “indoor voices,” “quiet hours,” and, well, basic human decency. The girlfriend, described as a “super loud talker,” made her presence known through walls, closed doors, and the very fabric of the apartment. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, was a burping, boisterous “frat bro” with a passion for late-night revelry.
If that wasn’t enough, they hosted monthly parties—right in the middle of the pre-vaccine pandemic. As OP put it, “They gave no fucks.” The music thumped, the guests hollered, and sleep became a distant memory. Management? Useless. Polite conversation? Pointless. No amount of diplomacy could compete with Susan’s (as OP dubbed her) relentless noise.
Petty Problems Call for Petty Solutions
What do you do when the system fails you? According to the Reddit hive mind, documentation is key. As u/CandylandCanada sagely pointed out, “You start by making a formal, written complaint to your landlord… If your jurisdiction has quiet enjoyment laws then management has to take action or risk being in breach of the law.” Several commenters agreed: keep a spreadsheet, email management daily, and make it their problem.
But let’s be honest—when you’re running on zero sleep and your sanity is hanging by a thread, sometimes you need something a little more… immediate. Enter: Liquid Ass.
For the uninitiated, Liquid Ass is a legendary “prank stank” spray, described by u/Nuclear_Funk as “less of a ‘huh who farted’ and much more ‘oh dear God who’s cheeks are those.’” One commenter, u/KingGizmotious, summed up the curiosity of many: “What is this liquid ass you speak of? …I am intrigued. I will be purchasing a can promptly.”
So, with the next party in full swing, OP crept out and administered a generous spray of this infamous concoction under the offenders’ door. The effect was immediate: “For some weird reason the loud chatter turned very quiet.” As the stench worked its magic, guests left early, the party fizzled, and for the first time in months, the building was blissfully silent.
The Science (and Art) of Smelly Revenge
Redditors loved the sheer pettiness and effectiveness of the plan. “That was a wonderful act of petty revenge if I’ve ever read about,” declared u/StrictShelter971, while u/Outrageous_Lab375 simply called OP a “genius.” Others reminisced about similar tactics—old chicken parts hidden in cars, Limburger cheese on door frames, even the notorious “durian piss disk” (a suggestion that had the community in stitches and groans in equal measure).
Of course, not everyone was thrilled with the method. A few dissenters, like u/Havin-A-Roni, criticized the ethics of chemical warfare on one’s neighbors. But as u/dommiichan cheekily replied, “hi OP’s neighbour!”—reminding us all that, in the war for quiet, judgment is often in the nostrils of the beholder.
Many readers, exhausted by their own noisy neighbor sagas, found themselves inspired. “This is honestly so much more effective than complaining to management,” wrote u/Just-Secretary-4018. “Behaviour + consequences = learning.” Others dreamed about keeping Liquid Ass “under glass” for emergencies, like a fire extinguisher, while u/slimkermit1 boasted, “With my diet, I can make my own.”
When Enough Is Enough: The Community Speaks
If there’s one thing Reddit agrees on, it’s that everyone deserves their “quiet enjoyment” of home. The story resonated with thousands—over 2,800 upvotes can’t be wrong. From tales of rogue party houses to medical sales reps gone wild (the “saleshole” trope got a lot of love), this post became a cathartic confessional for neighbors everywhere.
And while management and law are always the high road, sometimes the stinkiest path is the most satisfying. As u/Adrock66 put it: “This is solid petty revenge. Some people just get rid of the petty part.” In a world where management shrugs and parties rage on, a little bottle of Liquid Ass can be the great equalizer.
Conclusion: Choose Your Weapons (and Battles) Wisely
So, what’s the moral of the story? Sometimes, when all else fails, creativity (and a bit of olfactory warfare) can bring peace to even the rowdiest apartment complex. But as always, document your battles, try the official channels… and keep a can of Liquid Ass handy—just in case.
