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

I grew up in the country and just because strawberries and asparagus grew wild on the edges of our property people thought they could stop and pick it - trespassing to do it. So, one summer my older brother had a great solution. After the interlopers had gotten out of the car and were bent over to pick he'd yell loudly: "Look out for the snakes!" Worked like a charm! You could try "Look out for the spiders!"

Methinks that is not the best solution for this problem... Though it is an erotic one.

Yup, then when she's about to climax, pull out, put your clothes on, and act like it never happened.

I see how your neighbor breaking your potted plant can be be rude, but nothing to lose sleep over.

52, these stories aren't supposed to be actual reasons to say "**** my life," it's a website where people post their funny, random stories of kind of lame stuff that happened to them. Things people can relate to, or at least laugh at.

I'd leave the smashed planter on her front step with a note asking for the money to replace it.

I take it you didn't see OP's response at #41 where she said, among other things, that the broken planter was "anonymously" replaced by a new and slightly larger one.

Hey OP, I believe you're allowed to shoot people for trespassing... Just a heads up ;)

haha,OP,I have the same problem,but my neighbour doesn't run away.She yells at us "that's all mine!" and goes to her garden so she could plant our stolen flowers...
