neighbors

Man, nothing quite sinks the spirits like when you realize you have a nasty neighbor next door. We're all just trying to coexist reasonably peacefully, but some neighbors make that seem like an unattainable reality. Take this neighbor for instance. Grandpa tried to have a simple chat with the dude, and the dude proceeded to be nasty, and shove Grandpa's considerate kindness right back in his face. Well, Grandpa pulled off quite the successful long con from there. 

Neighborly disputes are a part of life. They have a tendency to escalate like when this guy used crows to get revenge on his neighbors. It seems like every time someone makes a tentative agreement, someone has a hard time sticking to it and the big guns need to be brought out. For some more homeowner frustrations, here are people who had to deal with a nightmare HOA.

This is why you don't mess with crows, or better yet, why it pays off to have some feathered friends in high places. This guy's neighbors sound like they were a real piece of work, and generally unfortunate people to be around. Fortunately, he was able to befriend some crows that would appear to have picked up wind of this, and proceeded to stand up for him. With all the wild stories of people's experiences with intelligent, devilishly clever crows, it's really no big surprise.
