My neighbors called the city to complain about the weeds in my flowerbeds – so I gave them a real reason to get mad
ONE homeowner took the phrase don’t get mad, get even, to heart – and brought on the heat.
The brawl between neighbors began over some overgrown weeds in a flowerbed – and things quickly took a turn for the worse.
Cody Tiano (@tianocomedy) explained how “my neighbors called the city to complain about my flowerbeds,” in a dubbed male voice.
Things were not coming up roses for these dueling yard owners.
The self-proclaimed amateur comedian gave a glimpse of the weeds that waged the war in front of his white home.
He decided to handle things his own way – by giving them what he considered a real reason to get furious with his front yard space.
Cody showed off a row of flags that gave some insight into how the homeowner felt.
This is my swamp now, read the first flag featuring the animated character Shrek.
He was definitely claiming his territory – and calling it whatever he wanted.
Next up in his new yard collection was a multi-colored Progress Pride flag.
And he wasn’t done with his interfering – and weed-whining neighbors yet.
“So now I’m going to show them just how much of a problem I can be,” he warned, as a yellow flag emblazoned with a snake that read Step on Snek waved in the air.
He explained that this was a parody on the famed Don’t Tread on Me phrase which is known for keeping enemies at bay.
Who knew the suburbs could be so scandalous.
Cody the comedian had one last trick – or taunting flag – up his sleeve.
This time, it was none other than Founding Father Benjamin Franklin who gave his own message to the meddlers next door – Tax this D**k was written out loud and clear.
He might not have won the initial battle – but it seemed as if he had won the weed war – and most of his followers were willing to be soldiers in his army.
“Someone is always going to try to stifle joy. You are also someone’s favorite house,” one such viewer gave her words of support.
“It’s only fair tho,” another follower said in solidarity.
Yet another yard offense watcher already wanted more: “Definitely can’t wait to see where this goes.”
