Taking Liberties
I rented the middle unit of a one-story, three unit triplex. A sidewalk led directly up to our front door. On either side of the sidewalk there were two very small garden areas. For six months of living there, nothing was planted in them, so we decided to plant some flowers to brighten it up.
The next day we found a handwritten letter on our door in which our left-side neighbor informed us that he was deeply offended that we had taken the liberty of planting flowers in his garden. As he explained, the planter box was on his side of the sidewalk.
He intended to plant a tomato plant there and he planned to follow through with his plans whether there were flowers or not. Next day, we come home to find our flowers dug up and placed in front of our door and a tomato plant, complete with metal cage, planted in its place. LikeChicken
