The nerve of these neighbors is kind of mind blowing. Like, you have the audacity to go ahead and steal from someone's garden, and then complain when they rightfully and creatively call you out? Okay then. Some folks were in clear and glaring need of a reality check. Can't think of a better way to do it than with some puns. If this tale got you going, check out some punintentionally punishing puns and worldly wordplay over here.

    Font - 1 31 56 9 86 S 89 O 1 52 AITA for making a punny "wall of shame" for people who stole from my mom's garden? Not the A-hole My mom is really into gardening and sometimes people have come by and stole potted plants, yard statuettes, and even dug whole plant bulbs with plants out of the ground. Or cut all the roses off her bushes because they were too cheap to buy from the florist I guess.

    Font - Anyway my dash cam of my car which I park in the driveway near the garden bed caught most all of them close up and as a way to help my mom not have her plants stolen I printed all their pictures out and made a poster that said "Oh Hay there! Don't be a Daffy-dil and steal, or else you might end up doing hard Thyme! We hope Thistle be a lesson to Yew! And I put the pictures of everyone stealing from the garden around the border. Also gave each person a funny fake name : "mr potato head" "d

    Font - But I got a couple complains, one neighbor said I needed to take it down because I had a picture of his son a minor who did something dumb yes but was just trying to bring his sick girlfriend flowers. And that is was disproportionate and rude to publicly shame him. I told him that it wasn't that big of a deal and he told me that I was being petty. I called his kid a little Birch which pissed him off and honestly might of been petty. Another guy came to the house and returned a cutting his

    Font - RamenNoodles620 · 20h 1 Award NTA This sounds like a hilarious way to call people out for stealing from someone's property. Sounds like some of these people are ruining the garden and not just taking a flower here and there. To the parent complaining about his sons picture being there, he should have his son apologize to your mom in order to get his picture down. Maybe even have the son bring your mom some flowers (parents can buy some if he can't) as a way to show he is actually sorry. G

    Font - ForkAKnife · 21h · Partassipant [1] NTA. I think this is boss. A local video store used to have a wall of shame for people who never returned videos and it was pretty good prevention for me at least. Has anyone who didn't steal from you complain about it? G Reply 4 1.0k 3 + ...

    Font - Grounded55 • 21h Brilliant! You and your mom rock. It may be "petty", but they're committing petty theft. These people should be publicly shamed, at least in your neighborhood, and its not like you're blasting them on social media. NTA. G Reply 4 1.5k 3 ...

    Vertebrate - O 3 16 Awards NTA. These people STOLE. That's a CRIME. And instead of pressing charges or whatever you have created something TRULY DELIGHTFUL. (I wish I were half as clever as you because l'd come up with a pun of my own.)

    Rectangle - GhoeAguey • 19h QO2 22 Awards Jumping on top comment to agree! "If you don't want your photo displayed, refrain from stealing the plants. If don't want your photos displayed but you would like to continue stealing the plants, we can press charges in place of displaying your photo. The choice is yours." NTA !!! 6 & 22.3k 3

    Font - Cassy0827 · 20h NTA because they literally STOLE from you guys. To take proper cuttings or to take the roses, you need some tools of sorts which requires the forethought of "I'm taking something that isn't mine without permission." Stores in my area have a "board of beer shame" of those who either stole or attempted to steal alcohol so it's not like this is a new idea, although you're puns were great. Besides, who brings back a useless chunk of a plant they stole? What did they expect, th

    Rectangle - Ate4lyf · 21h Hahah I love the punny poem. I find it NTA, trespassers tend to feel shame/ remorse when called out to public scrutiny. One should go through life as though someone is always watching (and judging), not when one is caught G Reply 4 141 3 ...

    Mammal - NTA this had me in hysterics! People need to learn they can't have their cake and eat it too. It's not like you accused them of something like murder, you're simply trying to teach people it's not ok to steal or undo someone's hard work. G Reply 4 113 3 ...
