A woman has been hailed for her 'brilliant' payback against an inconsiderate neighbour who kept her awake until the small hours with booming music. During her time at university, she revealed how her flatmate, Sarah, would pump out deafening tunes until 2am nearly every evening, showing complete disregard for others attempting to sleep nearby.

She posted on Reddit: "I had this neighbour in the dorms named Sarah. Sarah wasn't evil, just... loud. "Every night she'd blast music at 1am or 2am, usually when I had an early class. No matter how many times people asked her to turn it down, she'd laugh it off and say, 'Relax, it's college'."

One evening before a crucial exam, she knocked on Sarah's door and attempted to beg her to lower the volume so she could get proper rest, but she simply cranked it up even louder.

So, she devised a scheme to get her own back on her selfish neighbour. She continued: "I laid in bed staring at the ceiling, absolutely fuming.

"The next morning, after my exam, I decided I wasn't going to let it slide. Sarah was notorious for sleeping in late usually till noon and she hated mornings more than anything.

"So for the next week, I set my alarm for 6.30am sharp, right when the hall was dead quiet, and placed my Bluetooth speaker against the thin wall we shared.

"I blasted the cheesiest pop songs I could find, think bubblegum boy bands from the early 2000s."

On the first day, Sarah emerged from her room "drowsy and livid" and by day three, she was pleading with her to stop. She continued: "I just smiled and said, 'Relax, it's college'.

"Funnily enough, after that week, her late-night concerts mysteriously stopped. She never admitted defeat, but the silence was golden."

Reacting to her post, one user shared: "We had neighbours like that. They would party until around 4am most weekends and odd nights during the week. I was a shift worker on early shift (6am start) so I was usually up at 4.30am to 5am.

"I was offered to do nights instead, so I'd get home for 6.30am and blast whatever music I liked directly onto their bedroom wall and made all kind of noise vacuuming, banging around etc. The complaints from them were glorious."

Another user chimed in: "I really hate people with main character syndrome. Good on you though."

While a third person commented: "This is the perfect kind of revenge petty, harmless, but effective. Nothing is more satisfying than giving someone a taste of their own medicine."

One more added: "I would have used Yoko Ono or bagpipes instead but otherwise definitely approve."
