Today, my neighbor showed me footage of my 7-year-old son spraying his beloved rose garden with weed killer. The whole garden is dead as fuck, and I'm now being taken to small claims court. FML

Today, in court, I was called a "pompous little gnome" by the woman I was there suing, for destroying my front garden with weed killer. The judge agreed with her and threw the case out for lack of evidence it was actually her that destroyed my garden. FML

Today, my crazy neighbor screamed at me from her porch for walking "too close" to her plants. I was on the sidewalk. She sprayed me with her hose anyway. FML

Get off my lawn!

Today, tired of people letting their dogs crap in my yard, I sprinkled an assortment of crushed peppers around my lawn as a deterrent. One dog went to do its business and had some sort of allergic reaction. Now its bitchy owner is threatening to sue me, and tried to have her daughter kick my ass. FML

Today, my neighbor came over to borrow my lawnmower. As I have previously loaned it to him and he returned it broken, I refused. He then promptly ate the strawberries off my daughter's small strawberry plant and stormed off. FML

Today, I left outside a bowl of fine herbs I had painstakingly grown from seeds, so they could get some sun. What did they get instead? My upstairs neighbor's filthy soapy water from washing her balcony. Three quarters of the seedlings are now dead. FML

Today, I was lying in a lawn chair next to my wooden fence when a yellow liquid started spraying me. The neighbor's douchebag son was peeing through the small hole in the fence and soaked me. FML

Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML

Today, my 6-year-old son pooped in the back yard and used a stick to throw it over the fence into my neighbor's yard. FML

Today, I was woken up by my wife calling the police because our garden had been ransacked during the night. A whole row of houses has had their plants uprooted, greenhouses broken into and garden tools stolen. The cops haven't found any leads and I feel terrible for my wife, who poured her heart and soul into that garden. FML

Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML

How would a 7 year old get access to weed killer?

He's 7. He should know right from wrong and to stay out of other people's property. Rose gardens aren't cheap and the neighbor probably spent a lot of time on it. I'd be pissed too, 7 year old or not.

I don't know why your 7 year old was 1.) using or having access to weed killer or 2.) thinking it was okay to do things to other peoples property. Even my son, with ADHD and all that. Knows that you don't go around messing with other peoples stuff like that. Plus he knows what things he should and shouldn't be touching. He even did at 7.

What a little shit! I hope you punish him and make him help the neighbor replant and care for them!

And that's why the bottle says "herbicide," not "weed killer." It's also why you don't let the damn kid touch it.

Your sons name isn't Dennis, or is it? What is your neighbors name? Mr. Wilson by any chance?

Not sure if that's a bit extreme or the right form of justice

What kind of kids are these people hanging around if they think the kid wouldn't know exactly what he was doing? 7 year olds can read. They can write. THEY CAN PLAN. This "he didn't know what he was doing" nonsense would make sense if he was 3 or something. He may not have quite understood the consequences, but he certainly knew what he was doing. He also most likely had a reason, maybe for attention, or the neighbor, in the kid's eyes, slighted him. We don't know why he did it, just that he did it.

I don't know if the kid actually knew exactly what he was doing. He's 7, maybe he thought the stuff only killed weeds and that he was helping. Maybe he was just curious. You can't expect a 7 year old to know exactly how things work; I've done worse things without knowing what I did at that age.
