My neighbor egged my car after I parked in front of his Halloween display, and I decided to give him a "gift" he'd never forget.

I was a nurse, exhausted from a grueling 12-hour shift the night before Halloween.
The driveway was once again blocked by my landlord’s truck.
At nearly midnight, I parked my car in the only available space, directly outside Derek’s house.
The next morning, I stepped outside to find my car covered in smashed eggs, yolks dripping down, and shells scattered everywhere. A trail of eggshells pointed directly to Derek’s front door.
I knocked, and Derek answered, his face radiating pride.
"Derek, did you do this to my car?"
He shrugged and replied, "Yeah, you parked in front of my house. YOU'RE BLOCKING MY HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS."
Keeping my emotions in check, I countered, "You egged my car just because I parked here? I’m a single mom with three children. I needed to get groceries and a stroller in."
He smirked, "THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM! My guests need a clear view. Maybe you'll remember next time."
I forced a smile and walked away.
An idea struck me instantly.
At Derek’s Halloween party, I surprised him with a GIFT.
He tore open the box, eyes widening in horror, and let out a scream that echoed through the neighborhood: "OH GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
