This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I used to have chickens in a city when it wasn't legal. They got reported and we had to rehome them. They were fun, though, and having fresh eggs was always great.

What a delight the person who reported you must be

Oh yeah. Next door neighbor. She's been a nightmare. She threw fits demanding we move one of our fences. She systematically sprayed our plants with Round Up every year. She once hired unqualified dumbasses to cut down one of their trees which hit our house on the way down. (They felled it from the bottom "TIMBER" style as if it wasn't a crowded suburban residential neighborhood.)

Yeah, she was a huge pain to live right next to. And then she died and her daughter moved in. And she's just as bad. :\ We just avoid her.

have you tried using a spray-water bottle to punish bad behavior, it works on dogs and cats maybe it'll work on something less intelligent?

I don't remember specifically, but we definitely gave them to a family we knew personally, and I'm sure they weren't slaughtered or anything.
