Quick survey: who is right?

CowgirlK39

We live in a duplex, in the upstairs apartment. Our neighbor is pretty BSC and we tend to have a lot of problems with her. We came home today from visiting H's parents for Easter to find the our neighbor had set up an egg hunt for her kids and family. H realized she had placed a number of eggs on things that belonged to us, such as his truck, our grill, and a few other things. H got mad and moved them, then stood outside, chatting with her sons father and making sure no one touched our stuff. I told him he was being ridiculous and while that was kind of rude for her to put them on our things, it wasn't a huge deal. 

 

So quick survey: who was right here? Should she not have put them on our stuff or was H being ridiculous?

Sorry - your H.  It's eggs for a kids egg hunt.  He really chose this to make a stand over?

If they had been grilling using your grill- be pissed.  Putting eggs out?  Really? 

 ETA: just reread.  You asked

You are right. Your DH is being ridiculous. 

In his defense, this is likely just the "straw that broke the camel's back". He is tired of her crazy antics and this is is just the latest in a long list. I can see that.

However, if you ha

Ha. Thats what I thought. He tends to pick the dumbest fights about things. He did come back in soon after I posted this and he said that she had put eggs all over our things. He said there were a number of them on his truck, one lodged in the motor of my

Eh, I don't think he was being ridiculous...some people don't like their stuff being messed with/touched. They should've asked before assuming it was ok. I don't really think anyone was right or not. Things just could've went better.

I don't think he was being ridiculous at all.  There's always the chance that the kids didn't find every egg that had been hidden, which could make for an unpleasant discovery for you or him in a few days or weeks.  I would never presume to use

I'm not a fan of assigning blame. If his behavior upset or offended you, I think you should talk to him. When she upsets you, talk to her. You're adults. Let the kids be kids, you be adults.

She put eggs on his truck? On his grill?

I know many men including my Dad and H who would have flipped over this. You don't put things on people's vehicles. NO. NO. She needs to respect your property and stop this behavior. Your H also needs to s

I'm with your husband. My husband would have went off on your crazy neighbor. You don't touch things that don't belong to you and eggs??? Again, MH would've flipped his lid!

See, this is exactly why I posted this... I was really conflicted. At first I told him to just leave it be and not make a scene but I am pretty non-confrontational. But after I asked this and he told me where all the eggs were placed, I was pretty mad.

I don't think he was being ridiculous, I think she was out of line by doing that and if he didn't say anything this time it could've escalated to other things in the future.

Well, im thinking he way overreacted.

I'd be pissed if my neighbors touched my stuff without asking, AND told their kids it was okay to do the same. Bad example. Plus kids break things! Or if your neigh is truly BSC like you say, then what if the kid got hurt bc of one of your things and t

I think your husband had a right to be mad. It is his stuff, after all. Also, what if one of the kids is playing with the grill or on the truck and gets hurt (I don't know exactly how that would happen lol but you can never be too careful lol)? That's

H was ridiculous.
