Every neighborhood has characters like these.
The nosy-I've-nothing-else-to-do-guy who's calling the city By-Law officers about . . . well . . you name it. Now some of these complaints are I'm sure legit ( the dog barking at 2am loudly and non-stop for an hour EVERY night. Illegally parked cars blocking access etc . .), but other ones, are crazy.
Then there are the over-reactors-are-us crowd who think the bogey-man is lurking behind every bush or that the sky is falling somehow EVERY day.
Why can't people be understanding, civil, "normal", and use commonsense - then we wouldn't have nonsense like this going on.
We have a guy living 2 blocks from place that reports people for not sweeping the dust of their sidewalk, or worse if the lawn is taller than his. Yeah, he's really popular with the by-law officer. Also happens to treat people like shit when they don't jump to his whims at our supply store. I guess he still hasn't figured, we have a fee for that.
