  • Being an entitled neighbor seems like a full-time job. Like, don't you have anything better to do than write passive-aggressive notes about wild speculation that is offensive to your fellow neighbors? Apparently not. 

    This particular situation started with a lemon tree. The innocent renter was just living in a house that had a big beautiful lemon tree in the backyard. A couple of branches spilled into the neighbor's yard, but they welcomed the free lemons. Until they passed the house down to the now-grown kid, and that's when the Karen energy came out. Apparently, this new homeowner thought the only way these lemons could be getting into their yard was because the neighbor was throwing them into the yard… Nothing to do with lemons falling off of the branch, for some reason. 

    A couple of hilariously sassy letter exchanges letter and we have a pretty good story. Lemonade was made out of lemons metaphorically (and probably literally) that day.

    Neighbor inherits house; accused me of throwing lemons Neighbor left me a letter in the mailbox because they assumed I was throwing lemons in their yard. There is a giant lemon tree inches from the property line of the place I rent. Much of the tree hangs over the neighbor's yard, and it produces easily 30 lemons per day in the summer. I've collected over 200 lemons this week. Photos show their letter, my response and the tree.

    July 16, 2924 Hello Neighbor, I'm writing this to let you know that I now reside here where my mother, who passed away a little over a year ago, used to live for the longest time and who enjoyed a tight-knit relationship with all her neighbors (left, right, and front). In fact, the previous owner of the house you are currently renting and living now named "Bill" and his entire family used to frequent my mother's home as guests. Bill used to invite and encourage my mother and us kids to feel free

    Hi Neighbor, First, I didn't know your niece picked lemons, and I would not at all mind you picking lemons on your side. Second, I'm not throwing lemons on your yard. They're falling from the tree that extends above your yard. I have по messages for you, and I don't wish to communicate with you agam. In fact, the only issue I have with you is that you of throwing fruit something on accussed accused me your lawn due to as minor as picking fruit in your own lawn, when the for more obvious explanat

    Key_Juggernaut_1430 • 21h ago As an aside - I have had excellent experiences turning my occasional massive lemon crops into hard lemonade. The result is mighty tasty and the alcohol content is potent. I use champagne yeast and a modified version of a hard lemonade recipe I found online (the original recipe "Skeeter Pee" clocked in at 10% a.b.v - I have toned it down to about 6%). 101 Reply ...

    . Jimmysal 20h ago ps Hey if your gardener prunes the tree and it kills the tree, the law says you have to pay for a full size replacement, plus damages depending on state. Enjoy the free lemons. 64 Reply

    snootnoots • • 20h ago Edited 12h ago ...they even said they'll have their gardener trim the overhanging branches so you can't claim that the lemons in their yard just fell off the tree, and didn't stop to think that... maybe they really did just fall off the tree?! 29 Reply

    MNConcerto 19h ago • Dear Sir or Madame, Are you unaware of gravity or Sir Isaac Newton? I believe he may have been a contemporary of your generation. Please turn off fox news and visit your local library to avail yourself to the wonders within. There you shall find many tomes of knowledge written about the genius of Sir Newton and falling fruit. Your Neighbor. ↑ 24 Reply

    GeneriskSverige • 20h ago 1. get a camera. 2. if you're petty, offer lemon bars haha Seriously, how do these people not know. how fruit works? Our lemon tree hung over the fence along the road, we wanted people to pick them because they fell everywhere. As a kid I used to sit outside at a corner and sell them in bags for a $1 and even then we had plenty for our own use. ↑ 8 ↓ Reply
