Last June the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was giving a press briefing on a plan to help homeowners when one of those very same homeowners came out to tell everyone he just reseeded. It's gotta make you feel pretty powerful to be able to tell the head of your government to stop stepping on your grass.
When this Landlord went back on their word and tried to con their old tenants out of their security deposit, they took the matter to court. You don't expect a judge to be so sensible. For another landlord-based revenge story, here's a landlord who tried to rip off their tenant, but ended up paying over $6.5 K.
Give a sheepdog something to herd and by god it will herd that thing. In this case it was a little lawn care robot. That is a smart dog. Under the right circumstances, pets find ways to do creepily intelligent things. And there's something about roombas that make them seem more than just a mindless robot. For example, here Tumblr explores human nature with the concept of a "knife roomba."
Here's a good reminder that it's good to have a purpose. Whatever it is, whether it's painting, writing stories, or deliberately disrupting your lawn in order to piss off your annoying neighbor, it's the small things in life that really make it enjoyable. Small but effective acts of defiance, like this guy who battled his work tie policy, help us get through the day.

The project is based on Attention Restoration Theory, which says that direct exposure to nature, viewing nature through windows, and even viewing images of nature are restorative
