A former neighbor called the fire department on me because she smelled incense coming from my apartment.
When the fire department guys found out they had been called for something so stupid, they gave her a ticket and knocked on my door to let me know and asked me if I wanted to press charges for harassment. I said no and they left.
After they left, I went to this woman's door, let the air out of my colostomy bag, knocked on her door and when she answered I told her "Now you have a smell to *itch about."

I know I shouldn't have done it, but it worked. She never bothered me again.
