When the Easter period finally arrives, excited kids wake up to see if the Easter Bunny has stopped by their house. Without the yearly egg hunt, Easter would not be the same for many families.

The Easter Bunny (together with his assistants from the parental unit) hides eggs everywhere, from chocolate treats to plastic shells loaded with cash to vibrant, hand-decorated hard-boiled eggs. Like with many customs, some may participate in the celebrations without fully appreciating where the joy came from.

Discovering the origins of these egg hunts can be fascinating. Easter eggs played a significant role in the Easter celebration as both young and elderly people like going on Easter egg hunts.

The OP lives close to a family who wants to hide Easter eggs in his yard so that the kids coming to their house can hunt for them. Their yards are right next to each other, with only the pavement dividing them and no fence.

The OP is now thinking about setting it up after what happened. The neighbor asked three times, and each time the OP said no because he didn’t like the idea of a bunch of little kids he didn't know coming into his yard.

The OP took his car to the mechanic, only for this neighbor to sneak in and hide the Easter eggs in the OP's yard. The OP saw him and sprung to action immediately, and you can read the full story below.

The OP kicks off his story

The OP was doing work in his basement and he heard footsteps nearby

They had their little party and Easter egg hunt in their one yard

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I believe I may be an asshole for not letting neighbors do Easter egg hunt in my yard and making him pick up the eggs he hid in my yard.

The Reddit post went viral with 14k upvotes and more than a thousand comments

He could have just had the hunt in his own yard alone

The OP should put up a good tall fence with a gate that locks

These kids might be well behaved but turn into another thing during a egg hunt

This Redditor doubts this is the first time his property has been used

The OP's concerns are very legitimate

That kind of entitlement drives this Redditor crazy

He had to ask repeatedly then go ahead to do it

There was a better way to handle this

OP's neighbor is upset because he forced him to take the eggs out of his yard after he was caught. Even though he knew the OP didn't want him to put those eggs there, he still buried eggs in his yard.

The neighbor probably thought that the OP would give in and let him keep the eggs in his yard once he realized they had already been buried but it didn't work out for him.
