“We aren’t going to accept your eggs — and we have filed a formal complaint against you.” Carolyn took her complaint to their neighborhood homeowners’ association board...

That's the way arrogant jerks and manipulators handle even minor complaints, when a simple conversation with the neighbor could probably have solved the problem.

exactly.
First getting all pissed off about this trivial crap is pathetic , but to make an official complaint without even talking to the neighbor just tells me what arrogant , pathetic elitist turds they are.
All they had to do was to ask the neighbor to try and keep the chickens in their own back yard, but instead they do this.
