My neighbor smashed my new sprinklers with a golf club because a little water had hit his spotless new car. As a single mom, I’d saved for months to afford them. I could’ve called the police—but after years of his bullying, I found a better way to make sure Paul finally faced consequences.
The early morning air was entirely still.
A soft mist hung over the manicured lawns of our quiet suburban street.
Then a sharp, metallic crack split the air.
I sat bolt upright in bed.
CRACK!
The sound came again.
A sharp, metallic crack split the air.
I pushed open the front door and stopped cold on the porch steps.
My grouchy neighbor, Paul, stood on my lawn.
As I watched, he swung a golf club down onto my brand-new sprinkler heads.
“Paul, what are you doing?!”
He glanced up, completely unbothered, and rested the club against his shoulder.
He swung a golf club down onto my brand-new sprinkler heads.
“Your sprinklers are spraying onto my driveway. And guess what? My car is wet now.”
My voice shook as the words came out.
“Paul, I’m a single mother of two young kids. I saved for months to install those. A few drops of water got on your car.”
He frowned.
Then he jabbed the club in my direction.
“Your sprinklers are spraying onto my driveway.”
“I don’t care. I have a new car, and I’m not putting up with this.”
I stared at the broken pieces scattered across the wet grass.
Two months of saving.
Two months of skipping little things so my kids could have a green yard to run through.
“You had no right to do that,” I said. “That’s my property.”
“I don’t care.”
