My Neighbor Threw Eggs at My Car Because It Was Blocking the View of His Halloween Decorations

When sleep-deprived mom Genevieve discovered her car covered in eggs, she assumed it was a prank. But when her smug neighbor Brad admitted he did it because her car was “ruining” the view of his elaborate Halloween display, her exhaustion turned to fury. Too drained to argue, she vowed to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget.

I was beyond exhausted—so tired I could hardly remember if I had brushed my teeth or fed the dog. With newborn twins, Lily and Lucas, my days blurred together in a haze of feedings and diaper changes. Sleep had become a distant memory.

Brad, my overly enthusiastic neighbor, took Halloween far too seriously. Every year, he transformed his house into a haunted carnival with gravestones, skeletons, and jack-o’-lanterns, soaking up compliments from the neighborhood like a sponge. But I had no energy to care about his ridiculous display. I was just trying to survive the day.

It was a typical October morning when everything came crashing down. I shuffled outside with Lily on one hip and Lucas in my arms, only to find my car plastered with broken eggs. The yolks dripped down the windshield like some grotesque breakfast gone wrong.

“Are you kidding me?” I muttered, staring at the sticky mess.

My car had been parked in front of Brad’s house the night before. I didn’t have much choice—it was the closest spot to my front door, and lugging the twins and their stroller from farther down the street was impossible. Initially, I thought it was a Halloween prank, but when I saw the egg splatters leading right up to Brad’s front porch, I knew exactly who was responsible.

Fuming, I marched over to his house, banged on the door, and braced myself for a confrontation. Brad opened the door, arms crossed, a smug grin on his face.

“Did you see who egged my car?” I demanded.

He didn’t even blink. “Yeah, I did it. Your car’s blocking the view of my decorations.”

I stood there, stunned. “You egged my car because it was parked in front of your house? You didn’t even ask me to move it first?”

Brad shrugged. “How can people admire my display if they can’t see it from the street? It’s Halloween—people come from all over to see this. You’re ruining the vibe.”
