MY ENTITLED NEIGHBOR TOLD ME TO GET RID OF MY SOLAR GARDEN LIGHTS OR SHE’D SUE ME — KARMA HIT HER BACK THE NEXT DAYSo, about a month ago, my new neighbor, Meredith, moved in next door.
Cecelia, a 40-year-old single mom to 10-year-old Lily, lived happily in a quiet neighborhood until Meredith, her new next-door neighbor, moved in. Meredith, a highly-stressed finance professional with a pristine garden, quickly became a problem. She complained that Cecelia’s solar garden lights were too bright, shining into her bedroom window. Despite Cecelia’s polite attempts to resolve the issue, Meredith escalated, threatening to involve the authorities. To avoid conflict, Cecelia removed the lights, upsetting Lily, who had helped pick them out.
The next morning, however, Meredith showed up at Cecelia’s door in disarray, demanding the lights be put back. She claimed that without the lights, raccoons had destroyed her garden. Cecelia, now fully aware of Meredith’s inconsistency and entitlement, refused to help, stating it wasn’t her problem. Over the following weeks, Meredith spent a small fortune trying to restore her garden, while Cecelia and Lily happily reinstalled their lights, adding more for extra “fairy magic.” This experience taught Cecelia that karma often balances things out in unexpected ways.
