Caretaker leaves elderly mother on neighbor's porch for hours while they run errands: 'I am a kind neighbor but this is too much'

There is nothing worse than being forked over responsibility that isn't your own. You didn't sign up for it, but here you are, saddled with the burden of whatever it is. Your roommate left a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink, and now you have to clean them. Sure, you could wait for them to get around to doing it, but you need them done now. Someone left the toilet seat up at work, and now you have to put it back down. There are so many other things you'd rather be doing with your time, and you're not the one who put it up in the first place, but here you are.

Someone drops off their elderly mother on your porch without asking, and now you have to look after her. You certainly did not ask for this responsibility, but here you are. That's what happened to the person in this story, whose neighbor started to take advantage of them just because they seemed like they wouldn't complain. But the neighbor was upset with them and thought of a way to get back at them.
