They can delay organising for the plumber to come around to do the repairs. They can constantly sweep the passage outside your front door and give you the hairy eyeball each time you come and go. Search for and find fault with rubbish disposal, which has high potential for the ultimate weapon: numerous handwritten notices posted around the place.
