Guy Hates Neighbors, Fills Yard With Toilets

Augusta, Maine, plumber David Labbe had plans to demolish his home and sell the property to a developer, who would plop down a Dunkin' Donuts in its place. But when Augusta officials scotched plans for the fried dough franchise after neighbors voiced their concerns, Labbe began filling his lawn with toilets, because "They pissed me off, I'm going to piss them off now."

And so sprang up his protest -- a street-side garden of flower-festooned piss pots (and a crudely painted call for commodes):

Man Spends $1,500 to Fight $100 Parking Ticket

Last month, Vic Bryant of British Columbia was faced with a parking violation after authorities claimed that his son had parked in a spot too close to a driveway. But since Bryant was only given six days' notice before his ticket was to be contested (instead of the minimum of 14 required by law), he missed the early deadline and was unable to show up on the designated day, jacking up his parking ticket to $100.

A few months ago, Earl Ray Jones of Colorado was ordered by a judge to hand over $3,000 per month to his former wife of 25 years.

Man Buys House Next to His Ex-Wife, Installs a Giant Middle Finger

In Orchard Lake, Michigan, a strip club owner by the name of Alan Markovitz recently decided to purchase a new house, because installing the most inertia-free stripper poles and restocking the cocktail sauce for the buffet can wait.

But Markovitz had ulterior motives with his fresh real estate, which, not coincidentally, was right next to the house of his ex-wife and her new lover. What intentions, to be exact? A giant middle finger.

What is it with Michigan and giant hands?

The statue, which is clearly visible through his ex-wife's window, is illuminated with a spotlight that keeps it shining all throughout the night, reminding her now and forever that a guy who's embroiled in a class action lawsuit brought against him by 700 exotic dancers just might have some relationship issues.
