I’ve had my fair share of difficult neighbors, but Todd? He topped them all.
He moved in next door with a fake smile and a camera crew,
turning my late grandmother’s garden into a biohazard zone by rerouting his sewage line to save money.
As his renovations escalated, so did his obnoxious behavior
.I’m Betty, 30, living in my grandparents’ charming cottage. Their garden was my sanctuary until
Todd moved in. From day one, he was a jerk—barking orders at his movers, insulting my home, and demanding
I remove my 70-year-old oak tree because it blocked his precious “outdoor content” sunlight. A month later,
something was off. The smell in my garden changed, and my plants started dying. A plumber confirmed my worst fear:
Todd had rerouted his sewage into my garden.
Furious but not ready to confront him just yet, I devised a plan with my cousin Nate,
a contractor. Todd was hosting a backyard BBQ with influencers the next weekend.
Nate rerouted Todd’s illegal sewage pipe to his sprinklers.
When Todd proudly activated his sprinklers for his guests, sewage sprayed everywhere, sending them into a frenzy. Todd stormed over, furious.
I handed him a bag of my grandmother’s dead roses,
soaked in his sewage. “Funny thing about sewage, Todd. It always flows downhill,” I said, watching him seethe.
The scandal went viral, ruining Todd’s social media “brand.”
He sold the house a week later.
Three months later, my garden started to bloom again, and I found a piece of my grandmother’s roses growing back,
reminding me that even the worst situations can lead to something beautiful.
