'Mind [your] own business': Neighbor refuses to heed warning about getting the proper permits, pays dearly for his arrogance

Generally, when someone is willing to lend their advice to help you with a problem it's best to listen. Still, no one likes unsolicited advice and that's an important thing to remember when you consider offering it—regardless of whether or not someone is in dire need of hearing it. Those who have elected to proceed without the proper knowledge and precautions are most likely to be the least receptive to listening to other people. Then, if they decide to arrogantly proceed with something that is blatantly dangerous, it's time to get the proper authorities involved.

This arrogant neighbor refused to listen when this homeowner advised him that the renovations he was undertaking on his property required proper permits and safety considerations. Despite the homeowner's best intentions and attempts to communicate his message diplomatically, he was met with a discourteous retort and decided to wash his hands of the situation. Eventually, the predictable occurred and the local governing body caught on to the unpermitted changes that were taking place and the neighbor paid dearly for not heeding the warning he had been given. Of course, he then blamed the person who had tried to warn him for "tattling."
