At 64, Eleanor had spent years keeping the peace with her neighbors. But when her electricity bill suddenly reached $227, nearly double the usual amount, she knew something was wrong. After checking her appliances and the meter, she finally discovered the reason: her neighbor Monica had been secretly charging her Tesla using an outlet connected to Eleanor’s garage.
One night, Eleanor confronted Monica and asked her to unplug the power cord. Monica showed little remorse, arguing that Eleanor lived alone and couldn’t possibly need that much electricity. She even offered her ten dollars and called her greedy. Instead of arguing, Eleanor quietly went home and decided she would no longer tolerate Monica’s behavior.
