I was home this morning doing some picking up while the boys were at school and I started to hear this loud banging sound, kind of like a hammer. I am used to this since we have new home construction all around us, but this seemed to be a little bit louder than it should have been. I looked out the window and saw a truck in our driveway. I went outside and there is a guy ripping the trim off of our garage. I ask him what he is doing and he tells me he is supposed to take the trim off. I tell him a number of times in a number of different ways that he has the wrong house and he keeps insisting he doesn’t. Don’t you think if I was going to have the trim ripped off of my garage I would know about it? Anyways, he finally decides that maybe he does have the wrong house and calls someone. Yep, he has the wrong house. Yes, I think I tried to tell you that. He put the trim back on and someone came by to apologize. What else goes on around here when we’re not here?
It’s a Good Thing I Was Home Today

I can’t believe that! Good for you for shouting for him to stop. Although, sometimes neighbors’ contractors can do beneficial things, too. We had our lawn aerated and fertilized for free once. And the neighbor who ordered it asked them if they were next, to which the lawn guy said no, just this one.
I love that he argued with you, who lives there, that he was supposed to take the trim off. Definitely good chuckle-worthy.
