Nice glossy print outs from encyc. dramatica's offended page left on their doorstep in an elegant, ribboned envelope?
1. Plant cocaine/heroin/methamphetamine on their property.
2. Anonymous tip to county sheriff.
Hire some neighbourhood kids to TP their house, slather grease on their door knob/handle, shrink wrap their car. You know, general delinquent pranks that can easily be blamed on kids. :P
I'm going to have to second the grease on the door knob, especially if it is highly spherical and you can be sure no one is home to let them in.
Also, you could always memebomb them. Just choose the most paranoid ones and leave them in weird places. :D
In a Cold War, you should always take the advice of Henry Kissinger:
Quote from: Henry KissingerPower is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Er, the other advice from Henry Kissinger
Quote from: Henry KissingerStrengthen potential third party agents against your hegemonic foe and use them in a proxy war to wear them down
Failing that, a syringe filled with a mixture of super glue and epoxy resin would really bugger up their locks on their house, car, place of work or any other important place.

Especially if you blender a couple of hot spicy death chilli peppers into the grease.
Capsaicin is such a bitch to get off your fingers, even with soap.
If you can, use yellow chillis (Madame Chenette's are my favourite--if I did that sort of thing) because they won't give grease an odd red-orange colour.
edit: come to think of it, this is probably not kid-friendly either. oh well.

they have a little kid, so I can't do anything rude, too nasty or sweary. for shame.
give their kids lots of candy every evening.
they might need to wash it down with red bull...
BAI, you're an electronics dude, right?
Surely you can generate a standing electromagnetic field large enough to fuck with their electrionics, right?
Do they have Wi-Fi? Could you fuck with their signal?
Additionally, if they have hard-wired cable, it shouldn't be too hard to find the entry point and "corrode" the connections.
Perhaps encouraging various forms of wildlife to chew or poop on the dish?
Turn their dish until it is pointing straight up in the sky, and then take a dump in it.
His Imperial Majesty would approve.

TV-B-Gone works on 90% of TVs, and contains 209 shut-off codes. I figure if you find out what those codes are and make an IR setup to cycle the codes indefinitely (or just buy the remote and hack it), you'll have a simple and effective denial-of-service attack. Provided you hide the device well enough, they can prove nothing.

so.
after the whole "musical xmas lighting" debacle, the snitching to the landlord about our loud constant tv watching (we don't have one, and only watch downloads one night a week..), the snitching about the smell of cannabis* (the missus has a legit 215 and only smokes for honest to god medical reasons. does not even enjoy being stoned), the cats pissing on his porch (they don't piss where they sleep), the fact that we have cats (we had em before the leases were re-written by new owner, and she said it was cool to keep em) and the general fact that the dudes always nice and pleasant to us when we see him, means we now have an honst to god cold war.
And they just crossed the line, deliberately running all the hot water off, when they heard us take a shower. I know coz I heard em in the living room sniggering via eavesdropping.
I don't like being a twunt about this, but, I'm gonna.
Anyone have any ideas for low level bastardy?
*well, partly this could be me also, so .. dunno if that points valid or not.
1. Have a loud party. Post a lookout. When the cops show up, have everyone get really quiet. Do this a few times, and the cops will never respond to further complaints. This frees you up for more fun.
2. Return the favor with the shower. In fact, since you share a water heater, turn the output valve off when you hear their shower running. Wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on. Pretend to know nothing about it.
3. Buy some 8.5X11 crack-n-peel sticker paper, and print off a bumpersticker saying "cops are wussies", and put it on his back bumper.
4. Tell the landlord, in passing, you saw the jackass walking into the apartment with a big bag full of pseudophedrine. Wonder out loud what someone would be doing with pounds of pseudophed.
5. Simply confront him, and ask him why he's a cunt.

Also, it's unidirectional. It only shuts down what you point it at: leaving you free to enjoy
your TV whilst the neighbours rip their hair out trying to figure out why theirs turns off every 25 seconds or so.
Bonus: They decide the TV is faulty and buy a new one. They then proceed to place the new, expensive TV in the same place as the old one. Hilarity ensues.

QuoteNow that they've mostly recovered from the twisted mind maze that was the original Annoy-a-tron, send them on a new journey of "self discovery" with version 2.0 Now featuring 6 sound choices plus volume control, it's at least twice as fun (and annoying) as the original. For effective deployment, we humbly suggest the following sound and volume combinations, but you can conduct your own field research for more insight.
* 15kHz (Teen Buzz tone** - young folks can hear it, older folks cannot!) (full volume)
* Cricket chirping (medium/low volume)
* IM Doorbell (low volume)
* Grating Electronic noise (full volume)
* Typical Electronic Beep (medium volume)
The cricket chirping sound is interesting because someone will instinctively look near the ground when trying to locate a cricket. So, placing the Annoy-a-tron several feet or more above the ground will help to obscure its location. The 15kHz sound is also interesting because this frequency range of sound cannot be heard by everyone. In older adults or those with deteriorated hearing (a condition known as presbycusis) this high frequency sound will not be audible, while others will clearly hear the sound and find it quite annoying. They also might think they are going crazy because people nearby will report that they don't hear anything.

QuoteWith the advent of the incessantly beeping and easily concealable Annoy-a-tron, ThinkGeek has ushered in a new era of sophisticated office pranks sure to drive your co-workers bonkers while you snicker silently at your desk. Now the next advanced level in stealthy office joke electronics is ready for your enjoyment. The Phantom Keystroker may look like a harmless usb thumb drive, but it's actually a devious contraption of unlimited office-based torture. Simply discreetly attach the Phantom Keystroker to any extra USB port on your victim's computer, no drivers needed.
The Keystroker emulates a keyboard and mouse and periodically makes random mouse movements, toggles caps-lock and types out odd garbage text and phrases. Switches on the side allow you to choose between keyboard garbage typing, caps lock-toggle, annoying mouse movements or all three. An adjustment dial sets the duration between "events". We recommend you don't set it too frequently so as to extend the agony. Your hapless co-worker pal will think his computer has been possessed or infected by a destructive virus. As he writhes in anger and furiously dials tech support you can rest easy with a job well done.

As an added bonus, taking this with you (if you have a laptop) will make you a walking TV dead-zone.

this is omni directional, and as we don't have a TV, if this is workable, I'll mount it up on the porch eves, as it'd be handy there anyhow, for changing winamp tracks and other things from outside.
If it's omnidirectional, you may need to increase the power or focus the signal somehow. It might not deal well with going through walls.

They live in the same building, I think.
Roaches would backfire but live crickets probably wouldn't, unless you have a shared entrance. Once established, a cricket colony is a royal bitch to wipe out, and will drive them absolutely insane. Plus, you can get 20 or so for a dollar at any pet shop. Bonus; kids find them delightful. The hardest part is getting them in their apartment, but I'm sure you can find a way.
I'm a fan of the roadkill in the chimney approach, but not everyone has a chimney. If they do, though, that route will have gratifying and unforgettable results. Depending on the chimney and the chimney cap, a small raccoon or possum would be perfect.
Also, if you have roof access, a dead squirrel (or rat or whatever the first small roadkill you find happens to be) dropped down the vent pipe for their sink or toilet, as long as you have a separate vent pipe. The goal is for it to be large enough to thoroughly obstruct the vent, and natural enough that, while it would seem improbable for such a creature to fall in and die, it's not unthinkable. A steak or a chicken breast would serve the same purpose but would be obviously sabotage. Depending on their plumbing and how thorough the obstruction is, they could end up with any number of unpleasant results, and an expensive plumbing bill.
Your plumbing should not share vent pipes, although it's not unheard of in old buildings. Check the roof; you should see a vent for each kitchen, and another vent for each bathroom, unless the kitchens and baths are arranged back-to-back.
I'm telling you, a squirrel down their kitchen vent pipe will be a subtle, horrible revenge, and it probably won't affect you at all. Just the drain on their sink will suddenly not work right, and will belch up compost odors... probably not strong enough for you to smell, but it will make doing anything in their kitchen incredibly unappealing until they get it fixed.

I did have a poke about for softwares, but it was all the wrong way. :sad: I'm assuming its omnidirectional, but, thinking about it the ir lights are on the front, soooo, I'm probably wrong. Either way, mounting it in a directional cantenna's got to help.
I like the sound of being a walking dead tv zone. hehehe. Its a HP OBU400103, and its got two numbered ports on the back. fuck knows what they do... ?
I didn't find anything either. I think your best bet would be to find a kit, the modify it to your needs. An omnidirectional IR dongle probably wouldn't have enough power to reach their TV, and you're need to write whole bunches of custom code (and find out tons upon tons of TV turn-off codes).

Never tried this myself, but I've heard that a little bit of clear nail-polish on the contact point of coax cable will render it useless. Maddeningly so. Can't hurt to try.
