“None Of Them Were Willing To Apologize For Their Children’s Actions”: Guy Sprays Thieving Kids With Garden Hose
Recently, a story from a man and self-confessed strawberry aficionado went viral on the AITA subreddit after he posted an incident he had with neighbor kids. Turns out, the Redditor nicknamed MrAhole86 likes strawberries so much that he planted 300 strawberry plants in his garden.
“Lately I’ve had a big problem with all the neighborhood kids coming in my yard and stealing my strawberries,” the man said and added that the last time “they smashed over 50 of my plants.”
Police threats didn’t help, and the author saw no other option but to take matters into his own hands. What followed after made the author question whether he was really right in that situation.

Don't let that parent fool you, Iphones are waterproof enough to withstand a water hose, its not like you submerged the entire kid in a lake.

Considering that, when I was a kid, there were cranky neighbors who would shoot rock salt at us if we trespassed on their property, these kids got off easy. Rock salt f*****g hurts when it’s shot at you from a shotgun. Also, we were taught to ASK first before picking anything from someone else’s yard, ffs. How would these parents like it if the OP came to their yards and started trampling their plants and picking flowers/fruit off them? People don’t seem to do the mental exercise of turning a situation like this around onto themselves to consider how they would feel about it. Yeah, the brain is a muscle. Use it or lose it. No, they just jump to threatening lawsuits on their, and their chikdren’s, victims instead. Assholes.

Yeah, there were some rock salt shotguns out my way too. I was smart enough to ask nicely if I could have a pomegranate off their tree and they were super gracious. Allowed me to come pick those or apples as long as someone was home.
