Nobody wants to have to deal with city officials giving them trouble over something that absolutely doesn't warrant any trouble to be dished out in the first place. It sounds like Carl is just one of those wonderful human beings who fights back against the BS by unleashing nothing short of a wildly petty revenge. In this case, the revenge ended up involving a decent number of folks benefiting from having a spontaneous little bar "in the park" being set up. To keep the pro revenge drama going check out this revenge tale about a tenant getting their property owner's car towed, so the property owner went ahead and hatched a sweet pro revenge.

Carl's property backed up to a city park on one corner. Mostly thanks to setting an extra-tall fence 50 feet in so kids wouldn't lose their balls and Frisbees quite as often (and a gate for when they did!) he rarely had an issue. Sure, Carl had a spot of bother in the early 80's when the city put an asphalt walking path on a dozen feet of his p

    Font - Everything was fine and dandy until the spring of 1997, when the city got a grant to improve the park. A few days before it was set to reopen Carl rode out there on a four-wheeler to check it out. And there was a problem. The city had installed a bunch of sł it on his property, and it was no small mistake like the path was. There was a garbage bin and picnic table on a concrete pad less than ten feet from the fence! And the whole area had fresh sod!

    Font - Even worse, as Carl and his company surveyor are out there measuring how far the city had encroached, the police showed up. They're not allowed to be in a closed park! They're not allowed to have alcohol! They're not allowed glass bottles! And an ATV? The officers were threatening to impound it! Carl wasn't going to put up with any of that and demanded they get Ron, the Chief of Police, down there 'toot sweet'. He'd known Ron for forty years and had bought the land from Ron's father. Ron

    Font - Unfortunately, the city played dumb. There was no one there that remembered the deal concerning the path, and they just swore up and down that it was city property and that Carl was mistaken. Come September, Carl wanted to push the issue without suing. Remembering the visceral hatred the local police had towards him when he was out there drinking, he built a bar. Well, not really. He already had a bar on all-terrain casters so he could throw parties on his construction sites. He did, howe

    Font - At noon on Labor Day he yanked down a section of fence, called everyone he knew, and pulled the bar into position with his four-wheeler. My step-father wasn't interested, but I had to see it, so I brought a couple six-packs of beer and some soda and sat at the end of the bar to watch. I hadn't even finished my first beer when the police showed up. The officers were introduced to Carl's lawyer and then told to remove themselves to the park side of the property line, which had helpfully bee

    Font - Carl: How's it going, Ron? Get you a beer or something? Chief Ron: No, thanks. Got any coffee? Carl: Just instant. Chief Ron: That's fine. Listen, is there any way I can convince you to move this whole thing into your yard? We've gotten almost a dozen complaints in the last half hour. Carl: This is my yard, and we both know it. Chief Ron: I mean to the other side of the fence. Carl: Sorry, no can do. Sugar? Half-and-half? Chief Ron: Just black, thanks.

    Font - Ron hung out a while, nursing his coffee and watching Carl's parents play poker. When he did leave, Carl shouted after him. Carl: Feel free to stop by next weekend, Ron! I'll be opening at noon on Saturday and 10 on Sunday! I think that's what did it. After hauling the bar back to his barn around midnight Carl had a message on his machine from the the city manager (who'd been avoiding him since June), wanting to know his demands. He let them keep a pair of benches, and the walking path of
