My latest evil deed: Revenge against my landlord!

Just when we were almost done being angry with the last raise in rent, they raised the rent again. There was talk among my neighbors about moving, and then things went back to normal.
But I decided to take matters into my own hands. When the soil was still moist, in the dark of night, I secretly planted a row of seven jade leaves by the walkway to the staircase that leads to my upstairs apartment.
The leaves had fallen off of my balcony jade plant, and I wanted to put them to good use. We'll see if they "catch," and how long it takes for the landlord (or the gardener) to notice. Buwaahaa!!! I am evil.
Have you done anything devious lately?

@enlightenedpsych2 Thanks! I'm actually running out to Kaiser today to pick up some meds. So I can see how my evil garden out there is doing as well.

@enlightenedpsych2 I feel like David up against Goliath.

You are bad! Yes, I have done some devious things but not nearly as devious as you.

@TheHorse And this evil deed may grow and grow, so it will become obvious to all.

I have to be rather devious here. My daughter and grandson argue and start quite a roe so I tell them if they can be kind to one another for the evening I will buy them a milk shake after dinner. Works everytime. Buwaahaa!!

Since I'm not sure what this plant is like, I don't know if this is actually evil. :-)

How far apart was the rent being raised? Months?

@TheHorse That was awfully quick to raise rent already!

@infatuatedbby It was. In read life, I was a tad ticked off. But I like how quiet it is here, and don't want to move. And rent is actually more in most other places in this (decent) neighborhood.

I don't get your purpose in doing this - how/why should this annoy your landlord?

@TheHorse Jade isn't easy to grow - I've killed a few (indoor plants).

Technically, we 're not supposed to plant anything--we're supposed to leave it up to the gardeners. In reality, I'm just having a little fun. I've been here many years and am a good tenant. If they actually "busted" me, I could pull the little jade leaves out in 15 secs and we'd all have a laugh over it.
