A woman with a garden full of trees and veggies allowed her neighbors to pick as much produce as they’d like. When a stranger showed up asking for avocados, she welcomed them to pick some. The next day, the woman’s neighbor accused her of ruining her avocado supply business, and even called her a witch. Was the woman in the wrong for giving away avocados? Read on to find out.

Generosity or guilt? A moral dilemma over avocados

Neighbor’s avocado business ruined by my generosity ♀️
A bizarre incident happened in my yard recently. I have a variety of trees, including seven avocado trees. My neighbor has been using them for years for free to supply her catering business. Yesterday someone came to pick avocados, and I allowed them to do so. This morning, my neighbor banged on my door accusing me of giving away her avocados, which apparently ruined her catering business. She even called me and my mom witches. While it’s true that I feel bad about potentially ruining her livelihood, I don’t think I did anything wrong by giving away the avocados. Did I do something wrong? Let’s find out in the comments below.
