Here's how not to be a choosing beggar, as illustrated by one mom who couldn't accept a good thing while she had it.

As a child, getting to bounce on a trampoline is basically the best thing ever. It never gets old! If you go to a trampoline park, you and your friends can literally bounce off the walls (and all over the rest of the room). Having a trampoline at your house is the ideal scenario for kids, though. It means that you can run outside at any time and start jumping. You make up games and play with your friends or siblings. It's easy to spend an entire day bouncing and having a ton of fun.

However, when kids are on a trampoline, they're supposed to be supervised. Even when these bouncy devices have cushions on the springs and nets on the outside, there's always the possibility one of the kiddos could get hurt.

That's why u/IrnBruDependant was a little concerned about how much her neighbor's kids kept using her trampoline. She writes that she's had the trampoline for a long time, and the four kids next door have recently begun using it. Though the kids have relatively good behavior, their mom most certainly does not. You can check out this great story of petty revenge down below.

Next up, this neighbor didn't bother to introduce herself to the new couple on the street: she was way too busy asking why they hadn't decorated their home for the holidays.
