An inconsiderate neighbor left a note on my sick grandpa’s car — I taught her to mind her own business.
It had been a while since my grandpa had left his apartment after falling ill. We hired a nurse to take care of him, but to lift his spirits, I decided to visit him. After a long drive from another town, I finally arrived at his parking lot and saw his car. I was shocked.
Some entitled neighbor had left a note on his window, and I teared up when I read it. My grandpa had been through so much over the past year. Who could be so cruel as to call him a “dirty pig”?
Tired and heartbroken, I went to security to request the camera footage. They told me who had done it and mentioned that she had been giving my grandpa a hard time for quite some time. That, I couldn’t forgive. On my way to her apartment, I came up with a plan to teach her a lesson. All I needed was a roll of duct tape…
However, the identification of the perpetrator was only the beginning. This entitled neighbor would learn a valuable lesson from what I did next.
My phone rang while I was at work two months ago. It was Mother. ” Meg, it’s Grandpa,” she could barely say. He’s in the clinic. He—” “What? Hospital?” I cut her off, completely caught unaware. ” What took place?” He had a respiratory failure,” Mother went on in her unsteady voice. ” We must visit him.” I replied, “Oh my God, Mom, is he okay?” “I don’t know, Meg…” “I’ll be there as quickly as I can, Mom,” as I logged out of my work email quickly.
