Sweet Revenge

Posted by Ross Rosenberg

81.jpgThese things always begin so innocuously:

A city councilman in Utah, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the east Mountains until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built a new home. The home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.

Which, of course, they did and his neighbor was forced, at a significant expense, to lower his roof. It was only recently that Mr. Easton noticed that his neighbor had installed some vents into the side of his house, now eighteen inches lower but still in the midst of the councilman’s mountain view.

Don’t get mad – there’s always another way – get even!! [Brainlessworld] : Blame It On The Voices
