Construction work shouldn't have to be quite this complicated. Too bad that one city inspector kept bothering the workers over typical excavation complaints, like making too much noise or "killing their grass."
As a senior construction superintendent based in Texas, u/Short_Finger_Dizzy was working on one site that continually got complaints from a homeowner. They disagreed over property lines, which seems to be a common point of contention for homeowners. The story often goes that the homeowner will make a big fuss over having to move their fence by just a few inches. After they or their neighbors go to the city about that issue, though, they realize that they actually owe their neighbor a few feet of land! In the end, it almost always results in that person losing some of their property.
They shared their tale with the malicious compliance community, and commenters loved it. You can read the entire story below!
