To disguise a neighbor's less-than-pristine house, she planted a hedge on the other person's land!
  • Seed the nasty neighbor's lawn with Triffids.

    I like the zucchini seeds idea suggested earlier, but sprinkling Triffid seeds on that nasty neighbor's lawn would result in more severe but highly deserved payback.

    Seriously, this was a terrible violation of your elderly's neighbor's rights and dignity. However, do not do anything before discussing it with your elderly neighbor, and respect her wishes if she wants to let the matter pass quietly. She may be indifferent to the offense, or like the plants, or she may fear the consequences of challenging that bully of a neighbor.

    However, that doesn't mean that YOU have to take this lying down. When you see this bully, tell her exactly what you think of her. Make sure you establish that you're speaking for yourself, and tell her that you'll be looking out for your elderly neighbor if this bully tries anything again. Put this creep in her place, or at least on notice that she can't get away with whatever she wants.

    And remember, keep a healthy distance away from those Triffids!
