Man Rejects His Neighbor’s Request To Hide Easter Eggs In His Yard, Neighbor Does It Anyways And Gets Caught

Whenever Easter is right around the corner, everyone knows what that means. Easter is a basket brimming with good times for the little ones.

It is the ideal time to get your basket, run outside, and attempt to search for those little colored eggs concealed in the most unexpected spots. This occasion is genuinely invigorating for the little ones, but parents can also get so caught up in making it more magical that they can get carried away. 

A Reddit user named "easterneighbor" knows this because it has happened to him personally. Though no one can really say why his neighbor needed to hide the eggs for his kids in both his and the OP’s yards.

In any case, the OP was apprehensive about this decision because his pots and flowers could be destroyed by a herd of sugar-energized kids determined to look for hidden treasures. The OP made it clear to his neighbor that he didn’t approve of them planting prizes in his backyard, even after he requested it and still got rejected for the third time.

Nonetheless, we likely all know from personal experience that certain individuals actually won't take "no" for an answer, so the neighbor still chose to go ahead with his plans. Continue reading to find out what happens next.

The OP actually had his neighbor take out all the eggs. Yes, he did.

But after encountering this disturbing experience with his neighbor, the OP chose to go to the AITA subreddit group to find out if he overdid things. Here is the story in the OP’s own words.

The subreddit predominantly favored the OP, saying he was totally right to bar his neighbor from arranging a hidden Easter hunt in his yard. Redditors also went ahead to mention reasons why no one should yield to such irrational requests, which range from strict beliefs to legal concerns.

Imagine a scenario where a child gets injured in the yard or they destroy something in the man's yard. Here are some of their comments.

Occurrences like these could rapidly transform a little friendly dispute into serious adversity. While certain individuals could find it easy to understand that the neighbor just wanted the kids to have fun, that doesn't mean that overlooking the OP’s request is in any way justified.
