Brian thought he could push around the sweet old lady next door. He was wrong.
For years, he’d griped about Margaret’s pond—the frogs kept him awake, the bugs were a nuisance. So while she was visiting family, he filled it in, assuming she’d just accept it.
But Margaret wasn’t having it. She dug up security footage, reported him for environmental violations (claiming rare fish lived there), and watched as he was hit with a massive fine. Then her grandson, a sharp lawyer, sued Brian for emotional distress.
The cherry on top? Brian’s wife, Karen, was so disgusted she left him—and personally oversaw the pond’s restoration. Now, Margaret sits by her water, sipping tea with Karen, while Brian deals with the consequences of underestimating a determined senior.
