for background info, there was a car sticking business cards on all of my neighbors mailboxes. just for fun, my (16m) and my sister (14f) went around the neighborhood taking the cards off of the mailboxes. our neighborhood is relatively small, so it didn’t take long to take them all off.
as we were passing through, we got an idea to stick all of the cards we collected on one neighbor’s mailbox.
for context, we do not like this neighbor. a year or two ago, she and her husband were complaining on facebook about our cat roaming around the neighborhood even though he’s an outside cat. he wasn’t hurting anybody or anything. but they insisted that he needed to be taken care of (even though he literally wasn’t doing anything). so she and her husband trapped our cat in a cage and drove it miles away from our neighborhood, dropping it off in the middle of nowhere. he was missing for a week or two, but we did end up finding him, and he’s okay now. the point is that she is a cunt.
so we put all of the cards on her mailbox and booked it out of there.
we went home and told our mom what we did, but she did not find it funny. she said that the neighbor has cameras, and we knew that, and we knew that our neighbor is huge bitch who is definitely not the type of person to find this funny, but our mom didn’t budge. i still think it’s funny, and my sister still thinks it’s funny, and i think this is a harmless prank compared to what she did to our cat (long overdue, in my opinion).
however, if you think we’re wrong, then we’ll go take the cards off of the mailbox and post a sorry note instead.
update: thanks for the responses. i realize now that it was a stupid and shortsighted decision, and my sister and i have since gone back to take the cards off and apologized to the neighbor for inconveniencing her. sorry everyone
edit to clarify: we didn’t put them IN her mailbox, we just stuck them on with the tape the car used to put them on ours and other people’s mailboxes, so we didn’t think it was illegal to do. again, sorry, it was a stupid decision, i realize that now
