All I did was buy a garden gnome… ONE LITTLE GNOME! My neighbor lost his mind over it. He stormed over, shouting that gnomes bring bad luck and demanded I take it down. But it’s my yard and I wasn’t backing down. That’s when things got ugly. He started making noise at all hours, leaving his trash near my fence, and glaring at me every time I stepped outside. Then one morning, I walked into my yard… and I BARELY RECOGNIZED IT! I swear, it was like he was casting spells or something! That was the last straw. If he wanted a war, fine. I went straight to the store and bought TEN MORE GNOMES. Lined them up proudly on my porch like an army. And I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. I thought I’d won. But then… he did something I NEVER EXPECTED. Something so petty, so outrageous, it stopped me cold. And all I can think is—how dare he?

My Annoying Neighbor and I Went to War Over a Lawn Gnome, We Never Saw the Ending Coming

All I did was buy a garden gnome… ONE LITTLE GNOME!

My neighbor lost his mind over it.
He stormed over, shouting that gnomes bring bad luck and demanded I take it down.
But it’s my yard, and I wasn’t backing down.

That’s when things got ugly.

He started making noise at all hours, leaving his trash near my fence, and glaring at me every time I stepped outside.
Then one morning, I walked into my yard… and I BARELY RECOGNIZED IT!
I swear, it was like he was casting spells or something!

That was the last straw.

If he wanted a war—fine.
I went straight to the store and bought TEN MORE GNOMES.
Lined them up proudly on my porch like an army.

And I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears.
I thought I’d won.

But then…
He did something I NEVER EXPECTED.
Something so petty, so outrageous, it stopped me cold.
