Tip for winding up your noisy neighbours

Noisy neighbours, or indeed any type of annoyance can be dealt with in a number of ways. Clearly some are very much a no-no, but during the winter a little added ice over their car can help salve your sanity and give that wonderful feeling of..... Sod you !!

This technique was employed one nightshift, but on a colleague, not a neighbour; so if any of my past or present neighbours are reading this, you have not been targeted by me!!

When the temperature drops well below zero, pop outside with a pump bottle - you know, the kind the hairdresser uses to wet your hair before starting the cut - and gently spray water carefully onto the windscreen, around the door seals and door locks. One coat is enough. Too much and it will stat to run and make the attack Obvious. One coat will also dry/freeze solid in just a few seconds. After thawing yourself with a well deserved cup of tea, repeat the process several times until a nice thick layer of ice is built up all over the windows, doors and locks, making entry nigh on impossible. The added benefit is they cannot get into the car, so can't defrost/thaw it out using the engine's heat and have to stand there for an eternity scraping away wondering how their car got the frost worse than everyone else's. Priceless.

We did try just pouring water onto the windows, but naturally it just ran off and even when frozen, looked just like someone had poured water. Our method was far more believable and undetectable as sabotage.

Enjoy the winter.
