'It is perfectly legal for the rancher to write a check on ANYTHING': Rancher loses court battle, pays damages in the most petty way possible

You know how some people will pay off big fines with massive bags of pennies? This is in a similar vein… except 10x crazier. When people get involved in court battles , it can quickly become petty and contentious. The two parties are in court because they're trying to litigate an issue, and it's going to cost one of them a lot of money in the end. What the court rules is what you have to do, whether you like it or not, and even if you appeal the verdict, you may still have to pay that big fine…

‘It’s unreal': Farmers band together to dump unsold apples from their orchards, explaining it's due to high prices set by grocery stores

‘It’s unreal': Farmers band together to dump unsold apples from their orchards, explaining it's due to high prices set by grocery stores

Let's face it… Farming is getting more and more difficult as time goes on. Rising labor costs, unexpected infestations, or water shortages can all push the economics of apple production to the brink. A bumper crop of apples in a valley might seem like a farmer's dream, but sometimes, that abundance turns into a nightmare, forcing farmers to walk away from their trees laden with ripe fruit. But they need to go somewhere, right? I mean the apples. Abandoning crops is a last resort, a bitter pill…

'Enjoy the car now': Farmer brings rental car back covered in mud after driving it around the countryside following rental company's unfair demands he pay 1 day extra

'Enjoy the car now': Farmer brings rental car back covered in mud after driving it around the countryside following rental company's unfair demands he pay 1 day extra

One farmer was fed up with a car rental company after being charged $91 extra for no good reason. But wait, let's start from the beginning. The farmer's car was being repaired after being involved in a small crash, which forced him to rent a car for $91 a day. To the company's credit, they had some pretty great policies, such as 'no cleaning fee' no matter how dirty the car got, and unlimited miles, which was useful, as the farmer lived in the countryside. Finally, his car was almost fixed, so…

Mayor mows farmer's newly planted orchard adjacent to his house, farmer makes it a wetland instead: 'It's huge, it's beautiful, it's wet'

If you live adjacent to an upstart public official, there's a good chance you're going to run into problems, especially when they believe in loose applications of the rules when it benefits them—despite their otherwise pedantic outlook on regulations. Of course, you're going to run into even more problems when you're managing your agriculturally zoned land in unconventional ways, turning to relatively newfound ecological means of managing pests rather than dumping hundreds of gallons of pestici…

'Do it later, or not at all': Farmers teach a lesson to city folks after they make 'smell complaints [and] noise complaints'

'Do it later, or not at all': Farmers teach a lesson to city folks after they make 'smell complaints [and] noise complaints'

These city people had a lot to learn about life in the country . A few years back when everyone was stuck indoors for a year or so, lots of people couldn't handle it. Especially for city dwellers, being cooped up inside made it feel like we were trapped. For people who had the money to do so, moving to the countryside seemed like a great solution. They could be properly isolated from others while actually having space to roam around, garden, or take walks. But since this was such a last-minute…

'You're on thin ice': Small town council complains about resident's dandelions and garden, so resident gets farm animals to 'mow the lawn'

'You're on thin ice': Small town council complains about resident's dandelions and garden, so resident gets farm animals to 'mow the lawn'

When you live in a small town, word gets around, and if you have beef with the city council, you had better giddy up for a long ride… of malicious compliance. One woman took on her HOA (that wasn't really an HOA, but more of a city council of sorts, as they were a small town) when they came with multiple complaints on different occasions about her property. The issue this woman had was not with their complaints, but rather with the fact that they did not bug any other of the neighborhood reside…

'The install guy had to call me three times': Internet provider refuses to cancel customer's service, customer makes them drive to the middle of nowhere to prove they can't install satellite internet

One customer had a hard time getting their internet provider to understand them. When they said they were moving off the grid , they weren't kidding! Rural life is appealing to many people because of that amazing peace and quiet you find while living in nature. Isolated from other houses, cars, and buildings, you can really appreciate the quietude. Some people even love to live really deep out in nature . In places like Alaska or other very rural locales, it's common that some folks won't have…

New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, then gets a surprise when his taxes skyrocket

'City attorney...refuses to work with farmer neighbor': New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, becomes infuriated when his taxes skyrocket

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes. Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act “trad” (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have…

'He never asked me to do dishes again': Farmworker floods his boss's kitchen with soap bubbles to get out of house chores that are not in his job description

When you're good at your job, your boss will inevitably ask you to do MORE tasks outside of your job description. Naturally, that never comes with a raise or recognition of any kind, so most employees wrinkle their nose at the prospects of overachieving. In this case, a hardworking manual labor worker was asked to do menial tasks that were so far out of his job description, that he decided to take action to ensure that he would never be asked again.
