Woman who caught neighbour sneaking around her home gets sweet revenge
A woman has been branded a 'genius' after she came up with a cunning plan to get revenge on her nosey neighbour who snooped around her home during a social evening
A woman has been praised for her 'cunning' retaliation against a nosy neighbour who had the cheek to rummage through her house during a friendly get-together. Her son took to Reddit to share how the women in their area rotate hosting social evenings every few weeks, and it was his mum's turn to entertain.
She'd tidied up, prepared nibbles, and had drinks on hand for a pleasant evening. But one neighbour, Judy, used the occasion to pry around their home, even intruding into his bedroom. He posted: "Every week a few neighbourhood ladies plan a meet-up in any one of their houses."
"Three weeks ago it took place at our home, and my mum caught Judy coming out of my old bedroom when she had left on the pretext of going to the washroom.
"Judy just said she lost her way but she had been in our home before and lost her way into my bedroom?".
"My mother let it slide at the time but later had a chat with other ladies who agreed they had also caught Judy snooping around their houses and when confronted Judy got rude and defensive with them."
He described Judy as a "self-victimisation and hysterical person", noting that a direct confrontation would be futile.
So, the savvy woman devised a scheme to teach Judy a lesson and put an end to her intrusive antics once and for all.
He recounted: "Last Saturday, when the get together was at Judy's place, my mother and her friends bought googly eyes stickers and one by one they left the room on pretext of washroom and pasted those stickers all around the house, and later while leaving also on mailbox, door, fence, etc.
"A couple of neighbours had quite a show of her breakdown on Sunday going in and out, up and down her house looking for more stickers and removing them, pretty sure the plan worked."
One amused commenter on his tale said: "Next time she's at one of the ladies houses, and wants to go to the washroom, get them to say 'Fine! I'll show you the way as I believe you get lost in other people's houses! , go with her and wait to bring her back."
Another chimed in with a story: "One of the best 'don't snoop; stories was told by a friend. His parents had friends over regularly, but his mum thought one neighbour was snooping through the house.
"Before the next party, his dad took the medicine cabinet off the wall, cleaned it out, and filled it with ping pong balls. He then hung it up again.
"The nosy neighbour returned from the loo looking rather sheepish. The mum inspected the medicine cabinet, prompting the neighbour to blush and mutter something about 'looking for aspirin'."
A third user couldn't resist commenting: "Googly eyes are the best invention since toasted bread slices."

'I found x-rated photos of my mum and husband in bed together - what should I do?'
Sometimes good deeds have bad consequences. Everyone has certain aspects about their life they prefer to keep private. There are secrets within every family, some perfectly innocent and others less so. Keeping details about your past to yourself isn't necessarily an indication of wrongdoing, but there are plenty of things we don't wish to share with the wider world - or even those close to us. One woman was doing a good deed when she ended up uncovering a huge secret within her own family - and it could have disastrous consequences for her relationship with two of her loved ones. The doting daughter had decided to clear out a messy cupboard of her mother's but the kind-hearted gesture could well have destroyed her marriage. At the back of the wardrobe, she found a shoebox that held a USB stick. She decided to pop it into the computer in case there was anything important on it. However, she instantly regretted her decision. On the drive she found X-rated pictures of her mum. And, to make matters worse, featuring in dozens of the sexy snaps was her husband. Posting about the horrifying discovery on Reddit, the woman said: "I found pictures of my mum having sex with my husband. I'm absolutely devastated. "I'm so nervous I'm not even thinking clearly right now. In that thing, there are over 50 pictures of my husband and my mum having sex. I felt one thousand times betrayed when I saw them." The pictures had been taken at her mum's old house, so the distraught daughter was able to work out that the fling happened before she married her hubby, who used to work with her mum. However, she didn't clarify if the romps were before she started dating her partner - and there is no mention of her own dad in the situation. Continuing her story, the woman said: "My husband used to work for my mum, that's how I met him, but he was just an employee. It never crossed my mind that there was any attraction since my mum is 30 years older than him. "I don't even know if I want to confront him about this, it is just so disgusting in my mind. Neither of them ever told me about being together and my mum was really happy for me when she was at my wedding." With the revelation sending her head spinning, the woman decided to ask the popular internet forum for advice. She asked her fellow Redditors: "What should I do?" Users were quick to offer their advice to the woman and their take on the situation as a whole. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

One person replied: "Right or wrong If I had found out my significant other had sex with my parents I'd be livid and couldn't continue the relationship." Someone else said: "I knew a woman that did this - as the mother. She met a man a few years younger than her and they had a thing. "After the thing was over, they remained friends and eventually, he was introduced to her daughter, who was 10 years younger than him and they married the next year. "I didn't think it was a great idea to not tell the daughter, but I couldn't come up with an alternative that didn't hurt anyone. I sincerely hope that friend of mine isn't your mum."

'Entitled neighbour lets dog run around my garden and made outrageous demand'
A man has been left enraged after he confronted his 'entitled' neighbour for using his garden to let his dog run around without asking for permission first and making a surprising demand A man has shared his shock after his 'entitled' neighbour treated his garden like their own private dog park. He shared how the cheeky neighbour walked into his garden so that their pooch could have a run about and let off some energy, completely unannounced. The bewildered man ask the neighbour why he wasn't using his own garden instead. He said on Reddit: "Last weekend, my neighbour just let himself into my backyard. Didn't call, didn't knock, just opened the gate and walked in with his dog like it was no big deal. "The dog ran straight into my garden, knocked over a pot, and crushed a few of my seedling I'd just planted. "I asked him why though that was okay. He literally said, 'It's just yard. If your plants are delicate, maybe don't leave them out'. "Then followed it up with, 'Your yard's always empty. I thought you wouldn't care.' After demanding the neighbour get out of his garden and insisting he ask permission to use it in the future, the homeowner recounted that his neighbour just scoffed and mumbled about him being overdramatic. Putting an end to any further impromptu visits, the disgruntled chap remarked: "Now I keep the gate locked." Reddit users pitched in with advice, with one recommending: "Get cameras to watch your backyard and its entry. He'll be back for sure." Another user added: "Call police and make a report now to start the documentation process. "Next time have him formally trespassed if he comes into your property again. After that, it's a Law Enforcement issue." A third user said: "That's so irritating. When I was a kid in the 80s a cop moved in next door with his family. Worst neighbours. "This was so long ago we left the doors unlocked. His kids would walk right into our house, raid the fridge, and go into the living room and turn on the TV and watch cartoons. Not even knock or anything. "We'd just wake up to a home with random kids. My parents tried talking to him about it and he pulled the cop card and said his kids could do what they wanted. "We obviously started locking the doors. Then they would open the gate and let our dogs out of the backyard. Multiple times we had to pay the pound to get the dogs back after they ran off. So we had to lock that, too. Such trash people." One more user added: "There's a gate for a reason. You chose to open my gate and let your dog run all over. If it's just a yard, keep the damn dog in your own yard."
