What began as a favor ended with my neighbor’s son getting roasted online—literally. When I allowed Claire to use my BBQ, I didn’t expect to return to a yard full of trash and a smirking neighbor who refused to take responsibility.
Her excuse? “It’s just what kids do.” But her 16-year-old son, Adam, wasn’t just messy—he’d filmed himself partying in my yard and posted it online. So, I did the same. My video exposing the mess (and Claire’s ridiculous “rules” for my property) went viral overnight.
The backlash was swift. Strangers offered to help me build a fence, and Claire’s tone changed fast. Suddenly, she was playing the victim, claiming I’d ruined Adam’s life. Funny how she didn’t care about my property until the internet held her accountable.
In the end, she slunk away, defeated. Some people only learn respect when it’s forced on them.
