It all started when my neighbor, Mr. Johnson, filed a noise complaint against me. I wasn’t even having a party — I was assembling IKEA furniture. I apologized, but he wasn’t having it. The next day, he left a note on my door: Keep it down, or else. Or else? Challenge accepted. First, I started mowing my lawn at 6 AM. Then, I bought a motion-activated Halloween skeleton that screamed every time he walked past my yard. He retaliated by blasting opera music at midnight. We kept this silent war going for months — pranks, notes, glares. But you know what? One day, we both ended up at the same barbecue. Turns out, he’s actually a cool guy. We laughed about our little war, shook hands, and now we prank each other just for fun.
