The incident happened early in the morning today. My father came to visit me yesterday and he happens to be a smoker. So I said you can smoke in the balcony but unfortunately not in the room. This morning around 6 o’clock he was also smoking and when he came inside I got up.
We had to get ready and leave in an hour to visit our relatives, so I started to tidy up and pack my stuff. Then my eye caught the egg shells in my balcony as well as the insides…
I asked my father about it, and he said he didn’t see it when he was smoking. My first guess was maybe a bird in urgent need of laying eggs? Yet it was an XL chicken egg. Then I saw the half open bathroom window of my newly moved in next door neighbor. I asked my dad about the window and learned that it was all the way open and the light was on when he was out for smoking.
I took a photo of the splashed egg and the open bathroom window of my neighbor. The way it was thrown indicates that it came from that side, specifically that window. Plus I have no one above or left of me that could throw the egg like that.
I assume he was disturbed by the smoke and instead of coming to my door and warning me, he chose to do this. However, this is absolutely outrageous and disrespectful. He could even leave a note on my doormat. Unfortunately I had no time to ring the bell and confront him/her cause we needed to leave immediately. The least I could do was to check the name on their door, and not to my surprise it’s a native surname…I’m away for a week so the heat of the incident will be cooled down by the time I return. What can I do at this point?

That’s not the worst thing to happen.
Somebody threw some plastic bags filled with cooking oil on my neighbors balcony. That’s a huge mess to clean up.
Yes not the right way to do it but so is smoking on a balcony at 6am with neighbors so close. Maybe have your dad go outside on the street or not smoke at all while he is visiting.

Someone woke up to a bedroom full of smoke. Not so great actually, I can can understand the reaction.
I also can understand that in that state they did not want to come over for a counsel session in der undies and before brushing their teeth and all when the’d rather sleep in until 11… The message was sent, very little harm was done. They have to vent their whole place at 6, you have to clean that up. Fair’s fair.
Bruh all those guys defending the egg thrower.
Yeah it’s maybe a little unreasonable to smoke outside if your live very close to neighbouring flats.
It’s still an absolute caveman response to throw some eggs as retaliation.
Buy eggs, leave them on sun for 2 weeks, or longer, then throw them tu neighbor balcony 🤫
There are a few steps of escalation missing, throwing something on the balcony as reaction should never be the first step!
Since your father was only there to visit, I assume there is no one constantly smoking, plus the visitor might not know the impact.
Smoking on the balcony cannot be prohibited, only limited.
This is a clear overreaction of someone who doesn’t dare to raise the problem in person to find a solution.
Neighbour:”May i offer you an egg in these trying times?”
1 egg per day, keeps the smoke away
The only correct response is a Pissplatte
Did it have a stamp with the date and such? If not I’d also consider ‘natural’ causes.
Gift your neighbor an 1 egg omelet 🙂
Doesn´t have to be this way 100%. A friend of mine recently found a whole egg between her parsley plants and didn´t know where it came from. The naxt day it was gone. 2 days later they saw a raven fly over their garden with an egg in it´s claws, solving the mystery.
I don‘t think this was the neighbor.
In Germany there is a bird called „Kuckuck“.
The cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species, relying on mimicry to deceive the host parents into raising its young, often at the expense of their own offspring. Once hatched, the young cuckoo instinctively pushes the other eggs or chicks out of the nest, ensuring its sole survival.
