Obligated Response
I have an old neighbor who represents maybe one of five white households in a mixed minority neighborhood. He likes to call code enforcement on everyone for every thing. I get someone to do a massive trim of my three pecan trees every other spring.
This past fall, after an incident in which he contacted the city over my just expired registration, I got a knock on my door from the power company. They were present “on behalf” of my neighbor. They had recently fixed the street lamp which had been out for two years,
And a singular large pecan tree branch was preventing light from shining on his driveway. They couldn’t do anything to force me to trim the branch, but they were requesting I do so. So naturally, this year, when it was time to trim my pecan trees, can you guess which branch didn’t get cut? EvilPilotFish
