Neighbor reports woman's mom's shed to the city, woman gets neighbor's new $40k pool filled in: '$40,000 down the drain. Literally'

They say those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones… and those who have illegally unpermitted pools in the backyard of their glass house probably shouldn't be calling attention to other people's unpermitted buildings on their own property. Especially when those buildings are actually perfectly legal and up to code. Sure, if there's some kind of egregious risk to your own personal safety, like an obvious fire hazard built on the boundary next to your own home, it would make sense to do something about it. Otherwise, it makes the most sense to leave well enough alone and mind your own business and let other people live their lives the way they want to.

Still, there's something about these nosy types who want to have everything to do with other people's business, to have a tendency to "self-report," in a way. This means that they'll go around accusing others of the thing that they themselves are most guilty about and consequently insecure about. An example of this is if your boss accuses you of stealing, stealing time—or generally being worried about any possible dishonesty—tells you a lot about their own honesty and how much (or little) you should trust them.
