As a single mother of two, I’ve learned to rely on my instincts and stand up for myself when necessary. A recent encounter with my neighbor, Emery, taught me that sometimes, taking a firm stance is the only way to get your point across.
It all started when Emery asked for my help. She had hosted a party the night before and was in a bind, needing someone to clean her house before she left for a work trip. She offered to pay me $250, which was too good to pass up. I agreed, and we shook on it.
I spent two long days cleaning Emery’s house, scrubbing every surface, sweeping, and hauling away trash. My back ached, and my hands were raw, but I kept thinking about the payment that would help my family. When Emery returned, I went to collect my money, but she pretended like our agreement never existed.
I was furious. I had worked hard, and she was denying our deal. I spent the rest of the day thinking about my next move. I knew I had to be smart and strategic. That’s when I came up with a plan. I decided to take matters into my own hands and teach Emery a lesson about keeping her promises.
I drove to the local garbage dump, loaded my car with trash, and headed back to Emery’s house. I used the key she had forgotten to return to me and let myself in. Then, I methodically dumped the garbage all over her pristine home. It was a messy and satisfying revenge.

That evening, Emery showed up at my doorstep, furious and demanding to know what I had done to her house. I calmly denied everything, reminding her that she had claimed I never had the key. She threatened to call the police, but I knew she had no proof.
As I closed the door, I felt a mix of relief and regret. I knew I had crossed a line, but in that moment, it felt justified. Sometimes, you have to stand up for yourself, even if it means getting your hands dirty. I doubted Emery would be asking me for any more favors after this.
