\"\"<\/p>\n

Until Tim moved in next door, I had lived contentedly in a quiet area with friendly neighbors, happy children, and well maintained lawns for more than ten years. Tim first seemed friendly and eager to fit in the neighborhood, expressing a longing for a quiet life away from the city.<\/p>\n

We spoke politely, and I hoped we would click. But things changed when Tim wanted to use my driveway while his was under repair. Citing pragmatism, I gently turned away from two cars of my own and the children\u2019s constant comings and departing. Tim answered negatively, puffed off, but I felt I had been honest and fair.<\/p>\n

Things got out of hand when I realized Tim had spray-painted \u201cSELFISH JERK\u201d on my yard in bright orange. I challenged him, but he disregarded it as a hoax, which fueled my indignation.<\/p>\n

With minimal police recourse, I sought the assistance of my brother Andrew, who owns a landscaping business. Andrew created a scheme to employ a nontoxic chalk-based color with a modern sprinkler system. We spent the day putting fresh sod and preparing the dye system.<\/p>\n

\nTim was out walking his dog on Sunday when he got showered in vivid blue water from the new sprinklers. His astonished expression and blue-stained garments were just what I was looking for.<\/p>\n

Tim, now embarrassed, challenged me, but I mocked him with the same contemptuous tone he had showed me. Tim\u2019s disruptive conduct has subsided after that episode, but I remain attentive and ready to respond to any future provocations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
