All I can picture with that story is a bunch of rednecks at the local store and one goes "Hey Joe jack I heard y'all havin' some trouble with that there neighbor o' yours" and the other sighs, "Yeah, reckon I'm gonna have to put in a pig barn" Then everyone nods sagely like they're going to take old yeller around the back

ibntumart posted:How I wish that were true. Last couple of times I hung out with my wife’s fellow soc postgrads it almost immediately veered into discussing their favorite yaoi. In retrospect, I guess I did learn a lot. I have a bad case of whatever the gently caress it's called where hearing other people masticating makes you irrationally angry; it's hard to control. But it just takes effort. I would never try to force other people to not eat things around me...it's my loving problem. Sure it's annoying but it's nobody's fault, not mine or theirs and I have to do internal work to manage my reaction to those feelings when they come up. This dude just realized a long time ago that he could use his childish emotions to exert control over people and would rather do that than try to manage them.

When there are acres of land between you and the music? And their parents who did nothing and have been nice to you for years can also go gently caress themselves homeless because you've utterly destroyed the livability of their house? The kid is annoying but this is such ludicrous overkill in response that I'd be considering actual crimes against the farmers in their place.

It's not clear from the story how long the music was playing at 9PM. There's a big difference between "playing for 30 seconds while I transition from driving home to parked in the garage" and "playing from 8:01-9:59 because gently caress you it's not quiet hours"

rotinaj posted:Why is it her job to help someone else wrangle their cow I read the cow comments to her being annoying about them fetchin the cow, not that they expected help to remove it. She doesn't mention them asking for help about it either but I can conceed that it might be read that way. But she complains about them starting work early in the same loving post, do you not think they go to bed early as well? Have you ever worked shifts that start early and gotten waked up by idiots blaring music or doing other poo poo? Then you should understand why it is loving annoying.

Willatron posted:Yeah, this seems like overkill. Depending on the size and breed of pig, that could be well over $20,000 alone in hogs. A proper pig barn would be more than that, especially if they plan on breeding the hogs. Pigs are incredibly smart, too, so unless there is an electric fence, the pigs will be on the neighbors' property soon as well. With proper hog feed, it will quickly turn into a $75,000 because of one obnoxious teenager, if it isn't already that price. That said, zoned agriculture might not include hogs. Some cities bar chickens from living in residential areas. Hogs are clean animals. Hog farms are not, especially with that many defecating. That unlocks a buried memory of grandpa's hog farm, where I once saw one hog peeing and the other drinking it mid-air.

Noir89 posted:The cow ran away, it happens and people playing loud music in cars during evenings/nights can go gently caress themself, no matter what kind of music it is. The kid doesn't exactly clarify whether the cow grazing on their land was a deliberate act or an escape. 9PM can change from having been asleep for an hour to the person's personal time just getting started and it varies from person to person. Both sides were having their sleep hosed with by the mismatch. The big thing for me is that this could have been solved painlessly, but was instead done with aggression escalating from passive aggressive from both parties to full on nuclear pigs in an instant. The kid is ostensibly a teenager and will likely grow out of it, but the neighbor is a grown rear end person that made his new neighbors decide between losing their wealth or their sanity, all because their kid was acting like a normal rear end teenager.

Yeah, the teenager wasn't destroying property, wasn't harassing the neighbors, wasn't doing much more than being a surly kid listening to music, and the neighbor's immediate response was to implement costly rural biological warfare. Were the neighbors mismatched? Sure. Could the kid have acted a bit more mature and apologized? Yes. Could the neighbors have done more to rein in their cows and respect the property lines? Of course! But to think the neighbor justified in building a whole-rear end pig farm aimed at somebody else's house because their kid was listening to Those People's Music? What the christ are you on about?

Mustang posted:Don't get the appeal of retiring to the countryside just to be surrounded by spiteful hicks. My main delight in this story, I admit, was sheer schadenfreude at someone who hadn't realised just how spiteful hicks can be. And how many horrible and inventive ways they have of being spiteful. Straw Dogs didn't have a loving clue. Anyway, have a happy and not unexpected update on this one: Kurieg posted:AITA for kicking my son’s girlfriend out of our house? Update, yep, son thought it would be funny: quote:Thanks for reaching out everyone. My son got in touch with me. His girlfriend agreed to try again. We all met at a restaurant my son and his girlfriend chose. The first thing she said was an apology for what she said. I apologized for my reaction. We hugged. It was nice. She then explained how my son had convinced her a joke like that would land well, and that she wouldn’t have said it if she didn’t think we’d like it. According to my son, she was reluctant to open with any jokes at all, but they came up with that one together on the way over. You guys were right!

Glad she lawyered up and the HR people were dumb enough to hand said lawyer a cannon loaded, primed, pointed at them, and ready to fire. I'm also glad that the person writing it had the common sense to gtfo out of a place that would treat her like that, even though she "won" the dispute.

/r/relationships - full on nuclear pigs There's no way I'm on the side of the neighbors in that story, she's a teenager doing extremely normal teenage stuff and they're punishing her whole family in a disproportionate manner. Spiteful is the right word. Investing thousands in animal husbandry out of revenge for a teenager listening to music in their car is probably one of the most dramatic beats we've ever had in here.

If you're buying land zoned agricultural you're insane to get a smaller plot of land with the house close to the property line. Even if your current neighbors are reasonable you don't know when some giant corporate ag pig farming operation might buy them out.

I’ve read enough bad HR stories at the point to recognize a type. They run their department like a fiefdom, believe they have ultimate power, and brazenly violate the social contract because they know that they’ll get away with it. OP was lucky that the weight loss MLM lady wasn’t personal friends with HR - there are plenty of stories about people stalking coworkers, making overt threats, breaking the law in all kinds of ways, with HR’s assistance in threatening the victim into silence. Extremely lucky never to have run into that myself, but the worst workplace abuse stories I’ve read all involve the active collaboration a “mole” in HR.
