I Caught You!
My neighbor was really nosey and for some reason, he hated me. I was a 14-year-old girl and I don’t remember doing anything to this man, but he would always rat me out to my parents if he saw me outside.
He told them I was lighting up, getting freaky with boys in the tree on the front lawn, selling substances, and hurting animals. He just made things up! If I were in my backyard, he would watch me through our privacy fence.
Once, I was out back drinking a soda, one of those in a glass bottle, and he popped up from behind the fence with this huge smirk on his face. He said, “CAUGHT YOU”! and tattled on me. My dad found out and was absolutely livid. He brought him out back and showed him it was a soda.
He also told him that if he ever caught him looking through our fence, he would call the authorities. Years later, we caught him in our backyard picking up pecans.
We thought he would help himself to the wagon he had back there because it “had been sitting a while and so clearly we didn’t need it”. The man was a total nut job. He ended up moving away and we never saw him around again. Story credit: Reddit / HaphazardSquirrels
