Sleep is a precious commodity, especially as we get older. And when something comes between us and a good night’s rest, we’ll go to great lengths to make it right. That’s exactly what happened to one person who had to deal with a disruptive neighbor engaging in an affair with a married man.

In August 2023, the person took to the “Petty Revenge” subreddit to share their story. While they acknowledged that their actions may not be morally perfect, they had no regrets about what they did. You see, their upstairs neighbor was having a four-month-long affair with a married man. Normally, this wouldn’t concern them, but the constant disruptions at odd hours of the night were interfering with their sleep.

The person noticed that the man never spent the night and that his car had baby car seats. These clues led them to conclude that it was indeed an affair. But it wasn’t just the affair that bothered them. Their neighbor’s disruptive behavior, such as hosting parties on Monday nights, coming home late, pacing their condo, and having loud phone conversations, had been a source of annoyance for some time.

After failed attempts at a reasonable conversation, the person decided to involve the building’s authorities to address the problem. But the conflict escalated, and their disdain for the troublesome neighbor grew stronger. Determined to find a resolution, they took matters into their own hands and used a website called Infotracer to uncover the address of the mysterious man.

Their investigation led them to not only the man’s address but also his name and social media profiles. Armed with this information, the person created a fake account and confronted the man’s wife about the affair. The aftermath brought surprising tranquility as the man disappeared from the scene for several weeks, allowing the person to finally enjoy peaceful nights of uninterrupted sleep.

The person’s story gained attention online, with several Redditors chiming in. Some praised the person for taking action, while others joked about the man’s lack of discretion. One user even suggested causing more drama by telling the wife directly about the affair.

While we may not all go to such lengths to resolve disruptive neighbor situations, it’s understandable why someone would be driven to take action when their sleep is continually disturbed. After all, a good night’s rest is something we all cherish, regardless of our age.
