Noise Complaint

The joy of neighbors! Police gave 91-year-old Yvette Vachon of Quebec a ticket for $148 after her neighbors downstairs complained she was making too much noise. Apparently her la-z-boy style rocking chair was too loud.

However, after reviewing the complaint (and possibly swayed by all the media attention the case was getting in Canada) the city cancelled the fine. [National Post]

Our neighbor built a 2ed floor onto her parent's house. Her brother then built a 3rd floor. The noise of him walking around on 3rd drove her to move back down to 1st.

Ticket the neighbor for harassing the old lady. She's 91 let her rock, how much longer is she going to be there really.

I'm reminded of the "Ma And Pa Kettle" movies.

"Hey, Pa! Turn on the radio!"

Perhaps she was enjoying pleasure with her partner(s) in some senior sex and this annoyed her conservative neighbors.

Now, all she's got to do is make sure that she claims the $2,500 as unearned income & pay the higher taxes in the higher bracket this threw her or the gubment will be after her again.
