“My neighbor filled my backyard pool with concrete because my kids were ‘TOO LOUD’ — but she had absolutely no clue what I was about to do next. I have four young children, and during the summer, they love nothing more than spending time in our backyard pool. My late husband built that pool himself, and it was the final project he was able to complete before he passed away. I lost him to cancer two years ago. One afternoon, while my children were swimming, our neighbor, Katherine, opened the gate in my fence and marched straight into my backyard without asking permission. I was in the kitchen when I suddenly heard someone shouting, so I rushed outside. Katherine was standing beside the pool, SCOLDING my children. I asked her if anything was wrong, and she immediately snapped: “Your kids are TOO LOUD. I need some peace and quiet.” I apologized politely because I had no intention of starting an argument. Besides, I had been inside the house and could hardly hear the children. My kids knew they weren’t allowed to scream near the pool. They splashed, laughed, and played, of course, but they definitely weren’t shouting. The real problem was that Katherine was the type of person who could always find something to complain about. At Christmas, she complained about the small gnome decorations I had placed on my porch. Not long before this, she had criticized where I planted my roses and claimed they “belonged on the left, not the right.” The next day, my children went back outside to swim. And I swear, they weren’t making unreasonable noise. But at five o’clock the next morning, I woke up to a horrible noise coming from outside. I looked out the window and could barely believe what I was witnessing. Katherine was standing directly beside my swimming pool. Next to her was a concrete truck, DUMPING CONCRETE STRAIGHT INTO THE WATER. Her husband was behind the wheel since he owned a construction company. I raced outside. The moment Katherine spotted me, she shouted: “Now there will finally be SOME PEACE AND QUIET! I warned you!” For several moments, I could only stand there staring at her. Then I realized there was no use arguing with her. People like Katherine only seem to understand consequences when those consequences affect them personally. So later that evening, I HIRED SOMEONE and sent them directly to Katherine’s house. Not long afterward, she came sprinting across the yard toward me, screaming: “No! ANYTHING BUT THIS! How could you possibly do something like this to me?!” DO YOU WANT PART 2 AND THE ENDING OF THE STORY, YES OR NO? ‌​‍‌⠀ﾠ Voir moins
