The new Pope is from Chicago. Anonymous sources quote him as saying "isn't that just like a wop, brings a knife to a popefight" to a defeated Cardinal.
Friend of mine is mocking me for not making the annual fishing trip this year. He’s a bastard. Who can catch fish.
Is it ok to quote a reply out of context? I feel this quote has a vibrant future with potential to last the distance, even a fair chance at a great conclusion.
Fucking neighbours, man. A while back I posted about the mini tornado that ripped through and caused some damage. Well, the neighbour's tree that went through the other neighbour's roof / bedroom ceiling is now being removed. Huge crane from their cul-de-sac reaching over the house, 3 guys with chainsaws up the tree, biggest chipper I've ever seen, etc. Well, there's drama. The neighbour who's tree it is listed his house 2 days ago. Seems like a forced sale, so dude has no money. The MLS listing pics show the tree all fucked up all over the back yard. The neighbour with the busted house is now there yelling at and tree-raging at the neighbour, who is refusing to pay for any of the work being done. What a fucking gong show.
Not sure how it is up there, but down here, if your tree does into someone else’s yard, the person receiving the tree is responsible for the damage and not the tree owner. Not many people know this and causes all kinds of animosity when that fact comes out. The caveat to that is if the tree owner had prior knowledge of disease or damage to the tree and took no steps to correct it. But that’s hard to prove. A good neighbor would step in to help pay for damages/insurance deductible, but they aren’t legally obligated to help. Our back door neighbor almost came to blows with their nextdoor neighbor over this a few years back.
The city identified the tree as a danger and ordered him to have it removed. narrator: "he didn't have it removed". Pretty sure that changes the scenario a bit.
Yep. I had a tree from my yard fall on my neighbors shed and I said I would help but it would be a few weeks before I could get a chainsaw and friends to help me haul it off. He got real mad and started yelling so I told him I was under no legal obligation and he can deal with himself then. I then had an attorney send him a certified letter about his tree that was diseased and low and behold when it fell on my house he gets the shocked picachu look when he's informed he's responsible for the removal. Trees are great but man they can start some neighbor problems.
That happened to my parents. A huge tree branch from their yard fell over the property line and smashed through a pool fence in the neighbors yard. My dad offered to remove the tree and pay for the repairs, you know, to be a good neighbor. His neighbor was such an incredible douchebag about it that eventually my dad just told him to fuck off and that it wasn't his problem. Thank God I have good neighbors. Our front yard is basically a large field which the property line falls somewhere in the middle. We had a massive sink hole open between our properties. Having a normal person to work it out with was a huge relief.
Them and fences. Some really entertaining Judge Judy's are around people trimming other people's trees or fucking with their common fences.
