House-flipping Neighbor fails to listen to warnings about getting landscaping permits, learns the hard way: 'Their backyard is still not finished'

Advice is one of those funny things—you should always listen to it when someone is willing to give it. But in giving it, you need to remember that not a lot of people are going to appreciate it—whether or not they need to hear it… and whether or not they asked for it in the first place. Of course, the people who are most in need of advice but refuse to listen anyway are just people who are determined to learn things the hard way. Ensuring that you've done the proper paperwork and taking necessary precautions, even when you don't really want to, is just something some people need to learn in this manner.

After all, rules exist for a reason… and they're usually written as a result of someone else's consequences. This means that the last thing you should do is assume that you know better than the rule itself and that you'll be the one getting a different result.
