We have a distant neighbor that moved in from another state that knows how to walk that thin line to be a thorn in everyone's side.
They hired someone to do dozer work which took three days. They claimed to be satisfied with everything the first two days. When he showed up to finish the third day, they acted displeased, told him to leave, and wouldn't allow him to take his equipment; he had to get the sheriff to get his equipment. They have yet to pay the dozer guy.
On the land they bought, there was an old mailbox post at the end of a gravel road that had belonged to a house at the end years ago. When a family moved back in the house at the end of the road, they put their mailbox back on the post. The other people put a note in the mailbox that read it was "their post" and they couldn't put their mailbox there. The family ignored it, so the other people removed the mailbox and set it by the road. The sheriff was brought in again and he told them that land that close to the road was county and that people could put a mailbox there.
I'll spare everybody, but there are countless other things they have done to be a thorn to their neighbors.
The sheriff said he has to go by their house at least once a month over some issue, and a town lawyer said, "oh, you can't do anything with them." In other words, they know where to walk the line, and they probably don't seem skiddish when they speak to the lawyers and sheriff, so the law is basically tired of fooling with them and don't want to agitate them any more than they have to.
Personally, I feel like if I was spotted throwing a gum wrapper on the sidewalk, I'd probably be in shackles and on the 6 o'clock news. I've spent all my life trying to obey the law, not being an agitator, and thinking if i did half the stuff some people do, I'd eventually be hauled away, but it seems like if you don't mind drama, having a lawyer call you ever so often, the sheriff coming to your house once a month telling you what to do or not to do, you can get by with a lot of junk.
Anyone else feel this way, or am i just weird?
