Benevolence or malevolence. The choice is yours.

Bad neighbours can be the bane of your life. They are inconsiderate. And kaput any piece you enjoyed before they moved in.

Naturally, you can reason with them...

Good luck with that.

Or you can launch a nuclear strike.

This being preferable as it wipes the pestilence off the Earth. But if you happen to feel guilty (inadvisable) you can appease this with the knowledge that you are doing other people a favour who might one day also be afflicted by these bad neighbours.

The good thing is your bad neighbours won’t be aware of who it is that has dropped the proverbial bomb on them.

Not unless you tell them.

And I wouldn’t advise that.

Apart from anything else, others in your neighbourhood will think you are a dark sorcerer of some kind. And of course, that can lead to you being burned at the stake — albeit it metaphorically. It will mean people will give you a wide berth when they see you in the street — which might be a boon depending on how sociable you are.

On the whole I would advise not having any feelings of benevolence to your bad neighbours.
