This is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news!

A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a

beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased

the lot below his house and built.

Apparently, the new 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. Mark and his new

neighbor had some great arguments about this as you can imagine -

not great feelings. The new neighbour had to drop the roof line - no

doubt at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that his new

neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark

didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate.

When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what

they found... Look at the pics!

Ah, the complaints of the petite bourgeoisie....

comeuppance is a fickle, and no doubt to the audience that is witness to it, an astonishly-hilarious business of making karmic amends.

Brilliant...I would have loved hearing the conversation with the contractor.
