The trouble is, the fun part is not simply making people mad. It is
easy to just make people mad. I want them to be ignorant of how it is happening. I want them to ask "have you seen/head/had this happen to you?" and I can look innocently mystified and say "No".
That is fun. Getting revenge and having to struggle to keep from laughing in somebody's face is the target.
Re: the pee-pee initiative. I need a control test. I want the people advocating urine to piss on their own porch/deck/patio for one week, and then report back to me about how pleasant you have found your own living space after using it as a toilet for seven days
RE: sound, I have considered sound. A smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector outside that I trigger remotely. My problems with the smoke/carbon monoxide detector are three-fold:
1) it is not easy to conceal outside and t is something that will fall prey to the elements quickly.
2) it will also annoy
me.
3) source easily located by the victims.
RE: Tire smoke...getting kicked out of my home because I burned 800 dollars worth of tires up, pissing off a minimum of 40 people at once, 38 of whom I have no problems with? Somehow I'm having trouble seeing the "fun" I will have with that. Plus, that means I haul my carcass downstairs, get in my car, hope there's a spot in front of the offending unit, and burn away. Next I tramp back upstairs. That's un-necessary effort. Also the effort of cleaning the rubber off my car, and working overtime to replace the tires. I believe they call this scenario "diminishing returns". If I have more aggravation then they do, I "lose". Never plan to lose. Plan to win.
RE: a bunch of planters. Can't happen. A potted plant on my table is OK. Window boxes or anything of the sort is not allowed.Turning my tiny deck into a greenhouse is not allowed. Plus I'd like to be on it once or twice without every bug in the world landing in my beer.
RE: laws. The building is "smoke free" and a "complex smoke free" initiative is underway. However the management has specifically stated
in writing that they cannot do much about people who violate. Hence, the time for water pranks.
I need:
1) A method that gives no clue I actively did something. My water idea? I will not be out there when it happens. Wet people will step away from their deck (or just look up) and see nobody's up there on my deck. They will hear no sliding glass door close. Suspect away, but they didn't see me do anything even though they were 10 feet away. The water does not effect me at all, only them.
2) A method that has minimum 'trigger' effort. Pushing a button? Ideal. Tramping down a flight of stairs then across a parking lot? Less than ideal.
3) A method that inconveniences them, not me. After the method is employed, I want to have no "work".
4) A method that does not merely replace my unpleasant experience with another unpleasant experience
I appreciate the nefarious suggestions but sadly the majority of them merely fall under the "here's a way to make somebody mad" category.
