Bull pucky...the meaner they are, the longer they live.
I would suggest charging her with filing frivolous complaints, mopery, and general dopery.
I lived next to one of these nuts. She sold us live turtle doves (legal to keep), then turned around and reported us for 'raising pigeons', illegal to keep.
She complained to the city about our lilac 'blocking her view of the street when backing out of her driveway', despite it being 10 feet back from the sidewalk, and over 15 feet from her property line.
She threw a big bag of doggie doo on another neighbor's garage door, because she thought their dog (they didn't even own one!) had messed in her yard.
She wanted us to cut down the columnar cedars on each side of our front door, because 'they might blow down into her yard...despite the fact they were too far away, AND our detache gararge was in between.
She wanted us to remove our other shrubs and trees, becuase in the fall, some of the leaves would blow into her yard...but don't dare us pick any of the fruit from HER trees that hung over our fence.
They are plain nuts, nothing but a neighborhood agravation, and should not have to be tolerated.
If I had this one's address, I'd be happy to send her a kitty cat picture postcard every so often, just with "Meow!" on it.
That's so true. I once represented a man in a dispute with his mean old aunt over the family farm. Auntie was about 80 years old and had cancer at the time, but she fought over every little detail, and would even create conflicts (like accusing her nephew of stealing every time she couldn't find something) where none existed. I truly believe that putting the screws to her nephew was what kept her going. We eventually settled the case, and Auntie died a few months after that.
When I moved into this area I found the old man across the street to be a complete cranky SOB who liked nothing anyone else did and complained constantly. Now he is a friendly old coot, smiling, passing the time day, etc. What, you might ask, brought about this big change? His wife died. True story....I kid you not
