My Neighbor Installed a Toilet on My Lawn with a Note, Flush Your Opinion Here, After I Asked Her Not to Sunbathe in Front of My Sons Window

When I politely asked my new neighbor, Shannon, to stop sunbathing in nearly-nothing bikinis right outside my teenage son Jake’s bedroom window, I thought she’d understand. Instead, she pulled a prank that shocked the entire neighborhood! She planted an old, grimy toilet right on my lawn, complete with a big sign reading, “FLUSH YOUR OPINION HERE!” Furious wasn’t even the word — but as it turned out, karma had a few surprises in store for Shannon.

When Shannon first moved in, she made quite the entrance by painting her house in eye-popping neon colors. It went from purple to orange to blue, each color brighter than the last. I tried to be understanding. After all, I believed in “live and let live.” But my patience was stretched thin when her sunbathing habits began — right under Jake’s window, practically every sunny afternoon.

One morning, Jake shuffled into the kitchen, his face red as a fire engine. “Mom,” he mumbled, struggling to make eye contact, “can you, uh, talk to the new neighbor?” He glanced nervously toward the window.

“What’s the problem?” I asked, but one look outside answered my question. There was Shannon, lounging under Jake’s window in a bikini that barely held together. It was covered in sequins, as if to catch the eye of anyone nearby.

“I tried ignoring it,” Jake said with a sigh. “But Tommy came over to study yesterday, saw her, and was so shocked he couldn’t speak. I can’t keep avoiding my own room! I’ll have to move to the basement like a hermit!”

Seeing my son uncomfortable, I figured a quick, polite chat might help. The next day, I went over to Shannon’s yard, trying to sound friendly but firm. She just leaned back on her lounger, oversized sunglasses hiding her expression. “Maybe you should look into better blinds,” she suggested with a smirk. “Or get Jake some therapy for his ‘repression.’”

Two days later, I woke up to a startling sight. Right in the middle of my well-tended front yard was an ancient, dirty toilet, a big sign propped up that read, “FLUSH YOUR OPINION HERE!” Shannon laughed from her yard, calling it an “art installation.”

Furious, I complained to the neighborhood association, but they wouldn’t get involved. Instead, Shannon ramped things up, transforming her backyard into a mini music festival — complete with friends lounging, late-night karaoke, and a “drum circle” that shook the whole block.

Trying to stay calm, I waited to see if karma would step in. I didn’t have to wait long. One Saturday, a fire truck sped down the street and stopped in front of our homes. Apparently, Shannon had called in a report of a “sewage leak,” hoping the firefighters would haul away her old toilet as a biohazard. But when they arrived and inspected the toilet, one firefighter simply looked at her and said, “Ma’am, you might want to call a plumber or an interior designer.”

But karma wasn’t done. One sweltering afternoon, Shannon decided to sunbathe on her garage roof to really catch the rays. She climbed up there, holding a reflective sheet in one hand and a giant margarita in the other. She seemed ready for her “glamorous” rooftop spa day, but fate — or rather, her sprinkler system — had other plans.

Mid-sip, the sprinklers sprang to life, soaking her and making the roof slippery. In seconds, she lost her balance, tumbling off the roof and landing face-first in her beloved petunias. She was drenched, covered in mud, and surrounded by broken flower stems.

Mrs. Peterson from next door, who’d been watering her own plants, called out, “Shannon, you trying out for Baywatch?” The laughter from the neighbors was hard to miss.

From that day on, things changed. Shannon’s sunbathing sessions outside Jake’s window stopped. The infamous toilet disappeared, and she even put up a tall privacy fence around her yard.

The next morning, Jake lifted his blinds cautiously, peeking outside like he was expecting a horror movie villain. “Mom, can I finally come out of hiding?” he asked, flashing a hopeful grin.

I chuckled and handed him a plate of pancakes. “Yep, honey. It looks like that show’s officially canceled.”
