'We have decided to grant you two days': Anonymous neighbor group pens note protesting decorative plants

A group of 14 neighbors apparently banded together to write an unintentionally funny note. 

There's at least one person in this neighborhood who is absolutely incensed over fake plants. Fake plants are optimal for people who are constantly forgetting to water their plants, or just don't want the responsibilities of watering them all the time. Other people just like the look of plants that appear bright and blooming year-round. Not to mention that many fake plants really do look like the real thing!

But there is that one person. The person who wrote this note claims that 14 neighbors got together because… they just really dislike this one resident's fake plant. I find that very hard to believe. I think most people have things going on in their lives that are 99% more important than policing someone else's decoration choices.

  • This person is insistent that a large group of people (and a “state environment official”) gathered to hate on a faux flower. Yeah, sure Jan. At least their lies are very funny to the rest of us! 

    Commenters shared their own thoughts on the situation. After you check out this story, read about some retail workers who shared photos of their workplace pet peeves.

    The first half of the note reads...

    In the second half, the neighbor writes...

IF you chose to not correspond, there might be an official action taken that will include the police called to write an lawsuit, or the flowery being removed and discarded of quite immediately.

    As you may have noticed, the letter is chock-full of spelling and grammar errors!

    TuringPharma "The flowery being removed and discarded of quite immediately. You must within 2 days minimum." Sounds like you have infinity days maximum

    DrFrankSays Again I don't see any other recourse but to buy more plants and some outdoor lighting so they can be enjoyed at night as well as during the day.

    ARC_Trooper_Echo. I love the pointlessness of the phrase "quite immediately." It's definitely someone trying to sound all smart and lawyerly and failing miserably.

    MikeNoble 91 They're right though. I would never buy a home next to someone with a fake plant. What else is fake? Is their house fake? Are they fake? What if I'm fake and I don't even know it? You can't trust them.

    [deleted] What the ? Plants? What is wrong with people? 908 Share HedgehogSmoothie OP You can't even tell they're fake until you get within 3ft of them! Not to mention, there's no law against having fake plants.
