Despite being an essential part of society, construction workers can be some of the most inconsiderate individuals. A homeowner in Denver, Colorado, experienced this inconsiderate behavior firsthand when they returned from visiting their parents to discover their garden in an absolute mess. The construction crew next door had used the property as their “personal dumping ground,” dropping concrete chunks in the flowerbeds, tearing a hole in the picket fence, and killing the once-thriving tomato plants. “Apparently, wrecking my garden wasn’t enough; they had to litter, too,” the homeowner complained after finding wrappers from the construction workers’ lunch buried under their destroyed marigolds.
After some effort, the Colorado resident finally got in touch with the managing office of the next-door construction workers. “Oh yeah we can compensate you for that,” the manager vaguely responded, but what does he actually mean? “Like are we talking $50 Home Depot gift card or actual replacement costs?” OP questioned suspiciously. “Because my destroyed plants and broken sprinkler timer aren’t exactly cheap to replace.” It appears that the managing office is merely attempting to appease the homeowner by promising compensation without actually considering reimbursement or repairing the damages.
