Years ago, when Comcast was running cable lines to some new houses down the street, the guy two doors down (who later achieved local renown for throwing his son's PC through the window when the pre-teen failed to shut it down one night) brandished his police revolver (Baltimore PD) and refused to let the workers work. After a testy colloquy involving city police, county police, and Comcast supervisors, the work continued.
It always does.
I was reminded of that when I saw a guy on Instagram standing in his yard, garden hose in hand, gleefully spraying a work crew while they tried to install a sidewalk utility box.
Same result.
Around the corner from here, developers bought a wooded area that connected to a main street and a side street some time back. They got the necessary approvals and were breaking ground to build a dozen or so houses when a citizen, to wit, a schoolteacher, came out of his house and fired gunshots at the Bulldozers.
Guess how that turned out.
And no listing of foolishness would be complete without recounting the time the governor of Florida found it necessary, as a hurricane bore down on The Sunshine State, to remind Florida Men that stepping outside and shooting a shotgun at it would not halt its crazy career.
Well, hot a-mighty!
