When you grow your own fruit, you'd gladly share the extra if you had any to spare. But things take a different turn when a neighbor decides to help themselves without permission.
A farmer noticed a curious trend of missing plums from their tree each year. Fed up with the situation, they decided to beat the plum thief at his own game and harvest their fruit first. And guess what? They caught the culprit red-handed, and it turned out to be one of their neighbors.
Red-faced, the neighbor had the audacity to call the farmer selfish for picking fruit from their own tree. Now, the farmer is left wondering if he was truly in the wrong. So they turned to Reddit to share the story, seeking others' opinions. If you want to find out more about this incident and how it played out, keep scrolling down for all the juicy details!

OP was even too nice and didn't rise to the yelling, but instead calmly proceeded to tell the neighbor that they would report them for theft if they were to take any of the plums again.
