    A bunch of retroreflectors. Something like this. Hang them from strings in your windows. Retroreflectors reflect back light to their source. Don’t shine your own bright lights, just return some of the photos to the people that made them. And if by some miracle the cops do complain, say that they’re just decorative and meant to prevent birds from hitting your windows.

      I need these. Just had this asshole woman stalinh while her pathetic boyfriend with a big dog was putting on his makeup. Got their license plate and will call bilaw next time on top of your suggestion. They sounded (I’m sure) like they’re all above board with immigration and animal control and childrens services

        You ok bro?

        Sounds like perhaps you need to move to an apartment where the lights from the road don’t point at your windows

        I’m not sure people need to be revenged just for existing; seems like the problem is the location of where you are at.

        Get blackout curtains or move

          Nah peeps can experience natural consequences and forced empathy. Forced empathy thru natural consequences is the most instructive of teachers. Retroreflectors can help ease them into that state of implicit understanding

          People are never too old to be brought back into the light of deciding whether they want the same consequences reflected back at them. If they cant handle that they will learn

            It actually sounds like you might need a little dose of forced empathy based on your post and comments. I understand you are angry about this, but thinking that they must be immigrants or dog/ child abusers because they left their lights on? That’s not normal. Get yourself better curtains or consider moving to a different apartment before you do something stupid that you’ll regret when you grow up.

              I dont think they’re dog abusers or at least my point was about wielding a large wifebeater type dog trying to intimidate me

    Don’t get in this kind of trouble… Lasers do a remarkable and very disorienting job from a distance. The green pointers won’t generally do damage but they fuck with your head on a whole different level from a distance. You’ll swear they are actually doing damage if you are blinded by one. I’ve had asshole kids shine one at me commuting by bike at night. For a solid second or so, you will lose vision and be disoriented. Even a halfwit is not going to crash in that timespan, but it feels like someone turned off your brain for that second, like next level overload nonsense.

      Someone said retroreflectors which are probably the best approach. Its all about automating custom consequences and easing them into forced empathy

    You need some heavy curtains. Doing anything like you suggest would just get the cops at your door for creating a driving hazard or something.

      Or end up provoking someone who might not have the most reasonable reaction to it.

    Several rows of bright light bars mounted on the wall, not sure if your landlord will allow that tho. A mirror could probably boost your plausible deniability.

      Someone said retroreflectors. Sounds legit, people need to be forced to take their intrusive dick back helplessly in their own hand and left standing with it
