Today, my neighbor showed me footage of my 7-year-old son spraying his beloved rose garden with weed killer. The whole garden is dead as fuck, and I'm now being taken to small claims court. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in court, I was called a "pompous little gnome" by the woman I was there suing, for destroying my front garden with weed killer. The judge agreed with her and threw the case out for lack of evidence it was actually her that destroyed my garden. FML
Today, the tenants I kicked out of the house I just bought took the entire garden and flowers with them. I was already listing the place as a rental with a "backyard oasis" and now it's nothing but dirt. The courts refuse to help me. FML
Today, my neighbour is suing me because she got stung in the face by a wasp, a wasp that came from my garden into hers and stung her, therefore it must be my fault. FML
Today, my crazy neighbor screamed at me from her porch for walking "too close" to her plants. I was on the sidewalk. She sprayed me with her hose anyway. FML
Today, tired of people letting their dogs crap in my yard, I sprinkled an assortment of crushed peppers around my lawn as a deterrent. One dog went to do its business and had some sort of allergic reaction. Now its bitchy owner is threatening to sue me, and tried to have her daughter kick my ass. FML
Today, my neighbor came over to borrow my lawnmower. As I have previously loaned it to him and he returned it broken, I refused. He then promptly ate the strawberries off my daughter's small strawberry plant and stormed off. FML
Today, I left outside a bowl of fine herbs I had painstakingly grown from seeds, so they could get some sun. What did they get instead? My upstairs neighbor's filthy soapy water from washing her balcony. Three quarters of the seedlings are now dead. FML
Today, I was lying in a lawn chair next to my wooden fence when a yellow liquid started spraying me. The neighbor's douchebag son was peeing through the small hole in the fence and soaked me. FML
Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML
Today, my 6-year-old son pooped in the back yard and used a stick to throw it over the fence into my neighbor's yard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How would a 7 year old get access to weed killer?

He's 7. He should know right from wrong and to stay out of other people's property. Rose gardens aren't cheap and the neighbor probably spent a lot of time on it. I'd be pissed too, 7 year old or not.

learn from your mistakes.

Plot twist: Neighbor bought the weed killer, thinking it was going to only kill the weeds not the roses. After realizing, in fact it destroys everything around it. See's 7-year-old, asks the child to help with the garden, gives the child the weed killer, casually taping while smirking, so he doesn't pay for his mistake.

I think this kid took practical jokes too far, but if this kid isn't smart enough to know who he's messing with and what he's messing with, he's probably not as smart as you try make all 7 year olds seem. Plus with all the time it took to do this no one bothered to check on him, and that's concerning if he's constantly misbehaving like this. I think in end everyone has a valid point, but it's all in the eye of the beholder.

why did the neighbor just sit and record instead of stopping him? Who's really at fault here

Probably has some security camera system around his house.

There are these nifty things called security camera's. They show film footage, so chances are OP's neighbor had one.

I want to know why the neighbor just stood there and filmed it! He deserves to have his garden destroyed if he didn't want to do anything about it ?

He didn't have to be "standing right there", it could very easily be security camera footage.

I want to know why the neighbor recorded the kid doing that instead of stopping him.

I'm sorry but as a gardener... CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN.

Well, I'm assuming that the garden was most likely more than halfway dead by the time the neighbour spotted the kid, and he probably got there right in time to take physical evidence of the act at the very least so it would be easier for him to provide proof in court.

I get that the child is 7, but I also agree with the neighbor taking the case to court, as OP's story says, the WHOLE garden was ruined, not just a few flowers. On top of the monetary costs of what the kid did, and the killing of all the bushes, there's also the possibility of health implications if the neighbor is allergic to the chemicals.

Well your 7 year old was able to find weed killer....and you left him alone long enough to not only find said weed killer, but then to go spray it all over your neighbors stuff. I'm gonna say this is your fault.
