What was the most unreasonable request you received from a neighbor?
We were sued to cut all our trees, because our neighbors really believed that the trees stole their shadows away. Which they didn’t. (But we were sued anyway.)
To add insult to injury, they also go berserk when leaves and twigs of our trees fall in their sterile excuse for a garden (and this happens on an almost daily basis).
Guy — the neighbor man — collects every single leaf and twig he finds in his cement shelter, and throws them back once the pile is big enough. (He shouldn’t be doing this, but Guy doesn’t care about rules nor laws — let alone about decency and friendliness.)
Guy has also called the cops on us for the same “reason,” but every single time he tried to involve the law into the matter, he lost big time 🙂
So since three years, he has found a solution to ventilate his frustration: he collects his urine in a bucket, and then empties the bucket in our backyard. He doesn’t realize though that our birches love his piss and grow even more voraciously than before, which most probably is the most ironic urological version of almost instant Karma —
Be it with the foulest stench.
