A nice story of revenge.

When I was living in Utah I had these most inconsiderate neighbours. Music blasting at all hours. When I asked them to turn it down, they replied that it was their apartment and they had a right to do what they wanted. Great
Most of the time they just ignored my knocking.

My evil brain started assimilating pieces of data.

1. My inconsiderate neighbours loved football and often invited their friends over to watch football games -- rather loudly I might add

2. I lived in an old house that was divided up into apartments. My "apartment" was actually a hallway under the staircase. So my apartment was long and narrow (hey it cost only $140.00 per month). The wiring in the house was not all that great

3. Super Bowl in 1983 was between two teams I did not care for.

hmmmm how can I make these data work for me.

Seconds before the kick-off, I decided to vacuum my apartment, thereby scrambling the TV reception in the building. Despite the fact that my apartment probably was under 200 Sq Feet, you know, it took me about 3 hours to vacuum my apartment. I am a very careful cleaner.

I think I heard banging and yelling at my front door, but with the vacuum cleaner making all that noise I did not notice.

One has a responsibility to keep one's apartment clean and that includes the carpet.

This did not alter the behavour of my neighbours but I got some satisfaction.....out of having a very clean carpet.
