They were found out because many times a flight would leave early or late or be cancelled and still get the noise complaint.

When you move next to a port, a gun range, an outdoor concert venue, a fairground, etc, quit whining about it. You knew it was there when you moved in.

*Fun fact - larger commercial aircraft can often be much quieter than smaller business jets. Like the difference between a bus and a modified Honda Civic.
In my citylife I've seen this happen multiple times: someone buys a house next to a bar that has operated for decades and they end up getting the bar shut down by endlessly calling the police for how noisy the bar is, how there's bar patrons outside of the bar, how people are parking in the neighborhood to go to the bar, etc etc. You loving bought the house next to an established business! Didn't you do any research?

I knew some folks out that way, they said that there was some sort of explicit agreement that Paine wouldn't get used for commercial flights, but that got undone... somehow? I don't know a lot more, I don't live up that way but I remember them being salty specifically because this exact place was not supposed to have this.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

A debate has started raging in my neighborhood about a cat.

It was spotted in the yard of a currently vacant house. Someone posted a picture, asking "WHO'S CAT IS THIS?". People chimed in, with theories ranging from it being a stray cat, to the cat of the people used to own that house, to a neighbor's cat. Sadly, the actual owner (if they exist) was unaware of this post and did not chime in.

The conversation soon turned dark as people began complaining about the number of cats "roaming the neighborhood". When asked for examples of this apparently huge problem, the general response was to mention the originally pictured cat and add something like "plus many more!". Then someone volunteered to capture the cat and asked the original poster where that vacant house was. Someone chimed in, quickly turning the conversation to the condition of the vacant home and how sad it is that "the nice family" that used to live there moved away.

People then asked that poster if that family owned this cat. They responded that they did not. So now, it's been decided that this cat is feral.

Until someone posted a zoomed in photo of the cat where you can clearly see a collar. Sadly, the picture quality is not good enough to enhance and see the name of the cat or an address. Multiple people have volunteered to try and capture this cat, to "spay or neuter it" as needed, and "to get the feral cat problem under control" or to "talk to the owner about letting their animals run wild".

There have been no updates in 3 days so I assume this cat is currently lounging in a sunbeam in its owner's house.

That’s not “get off my lawn.” “Get off my lawn,” is a grumpy but legitimate sentiment. This is “Get off your lawn,” which is pants on head moronic.

This isn't from the digital age but it is about a crazy neighbor. When my parents got to retirement age they bought 40 acres of forest property in northern Idaho. We'd go up for vacations the first few years and work on the old cabin, clear the overgrown forest for a couple of weeks, etc.

There were two neighbor families that had lived there for decades. One was a super nice Mormon family with mom and about 6 kids. She worked, some of the older kids worked, some of the youngest were still in school; dad had passed away. They had easement, meaning access to their property by virtue of their property title across the other neighbors land. Easement is a serious legal issue, you cannot gently caress with it and not get sued or go to jail. You can literally work on the road that goes across another person's property to improve it; adding gravel, grading it, cutting back tree branches. Anything that improves the road/easement is totally your right. You absolutely cannot though, degrade an easement, making it worse than it was.

The other neighbor was an absolute hillbilly/redneck/survivalist/militiaman. This guy probably weighed in at 300 lbs, and just try to picture this next part. He would wear a muumuu, a big flowery dress, leather cowboy boots, a pistol on a holster around his waist, and a baseball cap, and drive around the hill on his 4-wheeler. I poo poo you not. The first time he came by to introduce himself I had to put my hand over mouth to hide my smirking, and then excused myself so I could go laugh elsewhere. I know I should not judge and all that, but it was the silliest and most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen.

He was a total rear end in a top hat though. He talked about his militia group, how they "defended" Idaho from bad people (anyone that wasn't white). I think it was the Charles Manson cult that abducted Sharon Tate and at some point they had publicly stated they were going to move the clan to north Idaho. This hillbilly loved to talk about the glory days that if "if they ever came up here, we were going to just blow them away". I got to hear that story more than once. This from a 300 lb. dude in a dress with a pistol strapped to his hip. "Okay, thanks for stopping by!"

One day the hillbilly decides to close off the easement the Mormon family has across his property; which they had for 40+ years. He uses a bulldozer to build a dirt berm about 4' high and 10' wide across the road to their house. There is no way to get around it in a vehicle and that road is literally their only access point to their home and property. Like, they can't go to work and school or get to town. God forbid there is a forest fire or they need an ambulance.

Mormon mom doesn't know what to do; calls our family in a panic. Hillbilly had told her that she had to use her other easement, across my parent's property. And that easement was true and legal and in the property titles. The only problem there (and we would not have minded at all if they used it) was that it was a 60 year old logging road that had not been maintained. It was about 1200' long and overgrown with trees 3" - 6" in diameter. Hundreds of trees. To cut and clear it would take several weeks, logging trucks, stumping it out, grading it, etc. A couple weeks at best. Thousands of dollars in work. And in the meantime this family is trapped in their home. We're telling them to walk down to our place and we'll give them rides into town, but we are only there for another week.

My father stepped up. Honestly this was one of the coolest things I ever saw him do. He went to the county courthouse, got copies of the title that spelled out the easement rights specifically. He then went to the police station and filed a report on behalf of the family. The cops could not believe it and sent 2 cars and four officers to the hillbillies place immediately. They were told he carried and they were taking it seriously.

He is told that he has 1 hour to remove the berm while they wait, or he is arrested. Or, the county will emergency pay a contractor to remove it at about $500 an hour and he will be billed for it; and he still has to go to court. That rear end in a top hat jumped in his bulldozer so fast and got to work and moved it out.

My parents sold their property and bought some other acreage not too far away. Just to get away from that rear end in a top hat. Who needs that? Mormon family actually started logging the old road, firewood and stumping it out, but that probably took a couple of years. They knew they could always ask us for assistance, but we were essentially out of there.

Seriously, an angry 300 lb hillbilly in a dress with a pistol, cowboy boots, grey beard, and a baseball cap. One of the most esoteric, "Am I really seeing what I am seeing?" times of my life.

No no, his militia group was violently opposed to the Manson Family. They did not want those lunatics moving into their county. Which is actually hilarious in that you have one group of lunatics threatening to be violent towards another group of lunatics.

And yes, he was most definitely a closeted Nazi. I got to see the swastika tattoo on his upper arm when his dress was blowing in the wind.
