Half a tree is better than?
Bharat Mistry said that his pine tree has been in his front yard for 25 years. However, during the pandemic lockdown, Mistry’s neighbors reportedly asked to have the tree removed. More recently, the neighbors complained about birds in the tree making too much noise and pooping on their driveway. Mistry said that he tried to work on a compromise. “We offered to get it trimmed back and put a net in it so it would stop birds getting in, but there was no compromise with them.” Mistry said. “Last weekend he said the neighbor was going to get a tree surgeon to cut it down and we asked him not to, but they came on Friday and did it.” The picture shows the neighbor cut everything that was above his property, leaving half a tree. Mistry added. “I believe he has the right to cut down anything that is overhanging onto his property,” Mistry added. “But you have to ask, why after 25 years would you do that? People have stopped to take pictures, there has been a lot posted on social media,” he added. The oddity has even become something of a tourist attraction.
I had this neighbor…
A police officer was dispatched to the house of an elderly couple when the neighbors heard gunshots. Shortly after arriving the officer called into the station to update the sergeant.
Officer: “Well sergeant, the old woman shot her husband because he walked through the kitchen while she was mopping the floor.”
Sergeant: “Did you arrest her?”
Officer: “No sir”
Sergeant: “Why not?”
Officer: “The floor is still wet.”
The only people who listen to both sides of a family quarrel are the next-door neighbors.
These days, the problem with many neighborhoods is that there’re more hoods than neighbors!
Do unto yourself as your neighbors do unto themselves and look pleasant.
