My Neighbors Came Begging Me in Tears

Summary

I gave out my special rat poison for free, trying to fix the complex's rat problem.

And my neighbor Brenda turned right around and reported me.

She demanded I pay out of pocket to have the rats disposed of humanely.

I looked around at the neighbors.

"I know a place that'll do it at cost," I said.

"Extermination plus sanitizing runs about thirty grand. Split it across every unit and that's maybe twenty bucks a household—"

Brenda cut me off before I could finish.

"Nora, honey, you're the one who decided to trap those rats."

"Why should everyone else foot the bill for that?"
