Woman Refuses To Remove Her Rose Garden, So Allergic Neighbor Takes Care Of It Herself And Gets The Cops Called On Her

She "can't trust doctors with her diagnosis" sounds an awful lot like "she's full of it" to me. Either a hypochondriac or just a liar.

So, there's a comment from OP further down the thread just before the edit appeared. "after I found out she was cutting my roses? Just checked my camera again and SHE IS LOOKING THROUGH MY WINDOWS I'm calling the cops.". Apparently this batcrap crazy neighbour was just on some kind of power trip?

We had a neighbor who was furious that "our tree" shed on their car. they demanded we cut down the tree. I suggested they not park on our property. They demanded we cut down the tree. They're actually quite fortunate I'm not as rednecky as my late father, who'd have just shot their car tires out. TLDR: People are nuts.

I would bet my liver that this woman is not allergic. She just tries this excuse because she doesn't like roses for some reason and wants them gone. If she was truly allergic, and the allergy was airborne, she couldn't have gotten close enough to cut them

Oh God this triggers me so hard! As a child grew up in a house my (previously dirt poor) father built himself, from foundation to roof, all plumbing, HVAC, indoor trim, everything, when i was born and raised me there till I was 14. He planted baby trees in the front yard that grew to be typical (here) 50' tall f trees. At 14 new neighborhors moved in behind us. We had a 180 degree view of the water blocks from the beach. The new neighborhood wanted MORE view than their property came with. They demanded my dad cut his trees. As a native American he's big on nature and refused. They proceeded to harass us, thrraten us, trespass, call cops, file lawsuits, Etc, till my sister stopped eating from the ulcer she developed due to stress, and my dad had a nervous breakdown. He sold and we fled. It destroyed our family. Later I heard the creepy neighbor dad killed someone in a DUI, his cheating wife left him, sold their house anyway. Some people are just evil. I wish we'd fought harder to stay.

I'm allergic to pine. Like "every Christmas spent in the ER until we figured it out" allergic. There's this cute little thing I do to keep it from bothering me instead of harassing my neighbors. It's called...CLARITIN.

How is she cutting the roses if she is so deathly allergic to them that she can’t even be near them? Ffs

"couldn't trust doctors with her diagnosis" ? That tells me the silly bat isn't allergic at all. She's just pulling this stupid stunt as an excuse to be a crappy neighbour and find someone she hopes to control. I really do hope the police do that for her.

Something that happened a while back with us. Neighbor cut down our raspberry bushes cause I guess she didn't like how they looked? She wasn't even allergic. We can't grow them back again.

Adding to people's comments in support of OP, rose bushes are a permanent fixture, it's not like she added 536 blooming annuals unexpectedly after neighbor moved in (which still wouldn't make the neighbors actions okay, just might make compromise a bit more hoped for). I don't go out my front door during lilac season because my neighbors have trees. I seem to be more okay in the back, so that's how I manage.

Did she get her allergy diagnosis from WebMD? Sheesh! What a piece of work. Definitely involve the cops. Saw further down where she was also caught looking in the homes windows. I don't think that it's out of the realm of possibility for her to try to break in at some point in the future.

I'm allergic to god knows how many different plants, pollens, etc, and I live in the suburbs. There's this magical thing you can buy called allergy meds you don't even need a prescription for!! UGH. I could be walking my dog and any number of things trigger my awful allergies.

I'm allergic to dogs and I've never had a problem. I just don't go and smush my face on their dog

Weren't the roses already there before the new neighbor moved in?

I LOVE video cameras!

People allergic to roses, are allergic by touching them since roses don't release pollen. So if she actually had an allergy to roses she activated it by touching the roses.

Huh? What’s that, roses? Bull… sh..it? NO, REALLY?

The irony. Roses thrive on being cut and will bloom more. They can be pruned nearly to the ground and grow back. So in small claims court, it would be hard to prove much in damages.

Plants are expensive. I would be annoyed and angry.

The neighbor sounds like a nut job .

Your neighbor sounds like a head case. If she doesn't trust a doctor with her diagnosis, she probably doesn't even have a diagnosis! She needs to get tested to determine what she is allergic to - my doctor told me I'm allergic to pollen. Can't very well get rid of all pollen! She might not be allergic to roses, especially if she's out there cutting them herself. In any case, there's plenty of antihistamine medicines and allergy therapies she can use.

I find it interesting that she took it upon herself to handle the roses she is so certain will cause her harm.

I know I am not playing nice neighbor but I would go to the nursery and buy as many freakin roses as I could afford. Darn near every square inch of my yard covered with roses with the exception of about three feet from her side of the fence.

Allergic or not she has no damned entitlement to move in and demand what somebody else does with their home and hearth. She should get rose oil and spray down her entire effing house and car. If she came on my property after the first cop call, she gets self defensed to death

Okay, to everyone saying "how could she get close to them if she's allergic," not all allergies are life-threatening; I don't die from my soy allergy, I just get open sores and nasty stuffed up. THAT SAID, this neighbor is clearly a bully and a plague. Don't buy a house right next to your allergen, IDIOT. Not like rise bushes aren't pretty distinctive, after all!
