Woman Turns Neighbors’ Litter Into Hilarious Halloween Decorations

It’s not always easy to have roommates… and what is living in an apartment if not living with multiple, slightly distant roommates? A big difference with the latter, however, is that you don’t really have a choice in who those “roommates” end up being. Some of us manage to find ourselves next to some of the kindest people around. Other times, we find ourselves in a situation like Madison.

As Madison has shared on social media, she lives in a downstairs unit at her apartment complex. Although her home is tucked neatly behind an exterior staircase, that somehow doesn’t stop her upstairs neighbors from littering right at her front door. More specifically, the neighbors will dispose of their dog’s hair directly in her own space.

To get an idea of the layout, here is an image of where Madison lives. Her door is the farthest one away.

Some folks on social media have wondered if the neighbors intend for the fur to be used for birds. After all, these creatures do use items like fur to build nests. But Madison explains that it would be easier, and make more sense, for them to toss the fur on the other side of the staircase if that was their goal.

In that area, there is a tree and lots of grass. Madison shows off that area in the above image.

Needless to say, this unwarranted pettiness bothers Madison — so she found a hilarious way to deal with it. How? By gathering the dog fur and adding it to some Halloween decorations! Turns out, dog fur makes for the perfect bushy eyebrows and mustaches on outdoor skeleton decor.

Woman Uses Neighbors’ Petty Actions Against Them to Create the Funniest Halloween Decorations

You may be wondering: What is the purpose, exactly? For starters, it’s possible that the neighbors will recognize the dog hair and find Madison’s creative use to be annoying. If they are trying to frustrate her, it could be a sign that their plans aren’t working — she’s choosing joy instead.

But that’s not the only reason this “revenge” might be worth it. At the end of the day, we can only control ourselves. So, if Madison’s neighbors are going to be intentionally inconsiderate, why not have a little fun with it?

“I can’t get mad if I make myself laugh,” Madison points out.
