Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Last year we bought a house with an avocado tree in the front yard. The tree was dried up, almost dead, and only gave hard, black, tiny avocados. After a year of watering and trimming and love and care it started producing good avocados. Like, alot. Maybe 300-400. I picked them all the time, gave them to neighbors, the mailman, basically anyone who asks gets a handful. I am not stingy with my avocados. 

Well, I work early mornings and have to leave my house by 5 am. Couple of days ago I'm walking to my car and in my front yard is an old lady picking avocados from my tree! She has a pile of like 50 of them already picked and she had even brought one of those nice retractable poles with the fruit catcher at the end of it.  (It was a really nice one)
I was soooooo pissed I just walked right up to her and snatched it from her hand. She had a total 'deer in the headlights' look, but once I grabbed the pole from her she starts yelling at me 'hey! That's mine!! That's mine!' 
So I tossed it over our fence where our German Shepard was barking. (Good luck getting that back) 

Then i got right in her face and screamed "Well those are my avocados now GET THE FUCK OFF MY YARD!!".
I really scared her, I could see it in her face. I'm not hugely intimidating or anything 5'6"/F 135lbs  but I was livid and I seriously wanted to fight her but she was a thousand years old and looked like Mama Coco from the movie Coco. 

So I got in my car and sped away .leaving her to pick up the pile of avocados she had already picked. 

Well afterwards I was telling my coworkers what happened and they all said I was a jerk for screaming at her and stealing her stick since she was just an old lady probably trying to make some money because she's poor. 

And i'm thinking...am I the asshole?

If it makes any difference, I also told my neighbors what happened and they said they see her walk around our neighborhood all the time with that stick stealing lemons and other fruit from ppl. 

It's my stick now.
