Today, I caught my neighbor picking my flowers out of the planter on my porch. When I said something to her, she ran off and knocked over the planter, smashing it. She is now acting like nothing happened. FML

Hey OP here. I hadn't been up all that long and our dog started barking at something so I went to check it out. I open the door and there she is cutting all of my calla lily stems! I was incredibly baffled that she would just walk up onto the porch and do that. What I said to her was "Uhm.. Those are my flowers.." (such mean and rude fighting words!) She then took off like a bat out of hell while knocking off the plant pot onto the concrete below. (I think knocking it over was purely accidental but it still doesn't excuse what she was doing.) I got dressed and went next door to ask what the heck that was all about and she "informed" me that I must have mistaken her for someone else. After a few minutes of arguing I gave up and came back to clean up the mess. I figured I would just not worry about it, certainly nothing worth involving the law. On the plus side, about noon there was a knock on my door and a slightly larger, new plant pot was sitting on my porch with no one around. (I wonder who left it.. Hmmmm...) The actual act of picking the flowers doesn't bug me too terribly seeing as my niece picks the flowers almost every time one blooms. It is the lack of honesty that caused the issue for me.

Confront her about it and ask her to buy you a new one. If she declines, kill her

Ehh, well she replaced it and is obviously crazy... so, accept the pot and don't even glance her way again

Make her pay for a new one. Crazy ass neighbor.

I'm sure your flowers were just too beautiful to resist, but that's a pretty childish thing your neighbor did. Poor flowers.

Animal abuse. Great idea!

Looks like flowers will be more inside unless you can find a way for them to stop...

Some people just cannot admit to error. It's a fundamental flaw in them. They KNOW they made a mistake but lack the confidence to own up to it. While their extreme excuses and convoluted explanations are funny...it's frustrating as heck. :P If the issue continues, add a bit of foxglove, poison ivy, brambly plants, etc. to your boxes ;-) Even just a couple spiny cactuses might help if she continues to "sample" the flowers. However, now that she's "busted" I bet she gives them a wide berth! And you don't want the niece getting stuck :P

Well, at least she replaced it, but that doesn't excuse what she did.

Since she replaced it, it's not so bad. If your relationship isn't completely ruined ask her if she would like you to give her some flowers to decorate her home. That way you won't have a repeat of what happened.

Leave a packet of seeds on her porch with a note saying 'instead of picking other people's flowers, plant your own' EDIT oops guess 67 got to it before me but my idea was slightly rude
