My Neighbor Trashed My Lawn with Gravel – He Regretted It When I Got Home

After a blissful Hawaii getaway, 50-year-old Wendy came home to a nightmare—her once-perfect lawn

buried under a mountain of gravel. The culprit? Her arrogant neighbor Tom, who’d decided her yard

was the ideal dump site for his renovation materials. When confronted, Tom shrugged, claiming,

“You weren’t using it.” That’s when Wendy knew—he’d picked the wrong neighbor to mess with.

Tom, smug and snack-in-hand, refused to clean it up or pay a dime. Wendy demanded action,

but he waved her off like she was a mild inconvenience. Humiliated and furious, she started planning

—this wasn’t just about a lawn anymore. It was about respect, revenge, and a very public takedown.

First, she returned the gravel—shovelful by shovelful—right onto Tom’s driveway. Then came phase two:

“Operation Gnome Drop.” She borrowed Tom’s beloved garden gnomes,

took them on a chaotic photo tour around town, and posed them in embarrassing positions—just in time for his weekend garden party.

The party was a flop. Guests laughed at the gnome gallery, and Tom fumed. But Wendy wasn’t done.

The next morning, he awoke to a fresh heap of manure dumped on his lawn—

courtesy of a prank order Wendy placed with a local landscaper. Defeated, Tom finally

coughed up the cash. Wendy celebrated with a barbecue—and made Tom man the grill.
