She was stupid to agree to plant-sit.
She was stupid to make noise.
But they weren't her plants.
They are Bijnas' plants.
I hope everyone gets off easily, but the brunt of the blame here lies with the person who initially decided to break the law- even if the law is unfair, it's the law, and until it is changed, that's that. You can be as discreet as you want, but the moment you ask someone to plant-sit, you understand that they might make a mistake- and not planning for that is YOUR mistake.
Just goes to show- if you want something done right, do it yourself. That's what pumps and timers are for. The consequences of human error are usually harder to deal with than the consequences of mechanical failure...
