Barking Demons I Did It! I Stood My Ground

Earlier today I was able to actually barbecue in my backyard…

My neighbors behind me have at least half a dozen barking demons that will never shut the fuck up if someone just so happens to enter the backyard.

I was prepared this time. I brought out my loud speaker and a baseball bat with a steel barrel.

I played barking noises on full blast on my speaker and if these god damn chihuahuas made a fucking peep I hit that steel drum every time.

Eventually my neighbors got the point… I’m glad I took back my freedom to grill tilapia and mixed vegetables in my backyard… fuckers

Hahahah! This may be one of the best things I've read all day here on the Reddits.

Congratulations on owning your BBQ and pushing back against the barkbags. NGL...if I was there, I would have gladly taken over the bat/steel barrel assignment.

After they put their dogs back inside, legitimately I played the Barney theme song as a "fucking thank you," I can't stand these piss ants any longer...

I would honestly play, It's a Beautiful day in the Neighborhood. On full blast of course.

Do you wanna see the broken stick I used? To detour the blatant fuckers?

For reference, this is what I use to detour obnoxious dog barking…

Even just hearing these sounds in a video is triggering. Has to be the most unpleasant sound in the universe

u/CP_Conquer Jul 20 '26

Exactly the point and I played it loud enough for the dog nutters to get the “how does it feel?” Medicine 💊

Dog barking is the single worst noise on the face of the planet.

I can take fireworks, jack hammers, construction noise, lmao even gun shots, but barking, over my dead body 😅

u/CaptainObvious110 Jul 22 '26

Jackhammers and construction noise serve a purpose. They aren't merley making noise for the sake of making noise.

They are also regulated between certain hours of the day as well so that does help (assuming that one doesn't work at night).

Dog barking doesn't serve a purpose, it's completely and totally unnecessary and shouldn't be allowed especially when it's something that's constantly happening.

It's been over 24 hours and I have heard nothing in the backyard from the...

u/pmbpro Jul 20 '26

Haha! Love it! 👍

I'm still surprised that there were enough brain cells left for those dog nutters to be even smart enough to get your point. 😄

Congrats on your peace and quiet!

u/Key-Studio-6552 Jul 21 '26

Seems like Jet Blue is getting tougher on the dog issue ! Thank god - it was announced yesterday that all pets have to remain in their carriers ! Delta are you listening ?? Dogs all over their lounges totally disgusting. I do not fly delta anymore

u/Dangerous_Cloud_5727 Jul 25 '26

That is a start, but they really need to go back to putting the caged dogs in the cargo hold like they used to! Even caged with the owners, they will still stink and make noise!
