MY NEIGHBOR THREW EGGS AT MY CAR BECAUSE IT \u201cBLOCKED THE VIEW\u201d OF HIS HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS.
\nSo, last Halloween, I walked outside to find my car covered in eggs. I thought it was a prank at first, but then I noticed the egg splatters reached my neighbor Brad\u2019s sidewalk. Suspicious, I confronted him.
\nHis response? \u201cYour car\u2019s blocking the view of my Halloween decorations.\u201d
\nI was stunned. \u201cYou egged my car because it was parked in front of your house? You didn\u2019t ask me to move it\u2014you just ruined it?\u201d
\nBrad shrugged like it was no big deal. \u201cHow can people appreciate my display if they can\u2019t see it from the road? You park there every day. It\u2019s ruining the vibe.\u201d
\nMy blood was boiling. \u201cBrad, I\u2019m a single mom with newborn twins. I park close because I have to carry babies, a stroller, and bags multiple times a day.\u201d
\nWithout a care, he replied, \u201cNot my problem. Find another spot.\u201d
\nI didn\u2019t bother arguing. I stayed calm and pretended to understand so that he didn\u2019t suspect my upcoming Halloween party revenge.<\/p>\n
At first, I thought it was a random prank. Who wouldn\u2019t? Halloween was around the corner, and maybe some kids had gotten a little too excited. I sighed, too tired to even be upset, and grabbed a sponge and bucket, ready to clean up the mess.
\nBut just as I started scrubbing, my neighbor Brad came strutting over with that smug grin of his.
\n\u201cThat was me,\u201d he said, almost proudly. \u201cYour car was ruining the view of my Halloween decorations.\u201d
\nI blinked at him, trying to process his words through the fog of exhaustion. My car? Ruining his view? His ridiculous display of plastic skeletons, fake cobwebs, and oversized pumpkins?
\nFurious, but too tired to even start an argument, I just nodded, biting back the urge to say something I might regret. I didn\u2019t have the energy for a confrontation, but in that moment, I silently promised myself that I\u2019d find a way to teach Brad a lesson.
\nHe had no idea who he was messing with.
\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, Lily and Lucas were my sweet little babies, but taking care of two newborns mostly by myself was incredibly hard. I hadn\u2019t slept a full night in months. Halloween was coming, and the whole neighborhood was excited\u2014except me.
\nI didn\u2019t have the energy to decorate, let alone get into the festive spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
