Taking the piss - slang

It's now often used when people take liberties and don't care about the consequences, for instance someone living in a nice house and trashing it or ridings roughshod over neighbours, knowing he won't get evicted by the authorities.

Now he's taking the piss. He had his music cranked up again last night and parks in our parking space.
