That neighbor who insisted my fence was leaning the wrong way
So I'm out in my backyard last Tuesday setting up a new cedar fence section, pretty straightforward job. This guy from three houses down walks over, no hello, just points at my posts and says "you're putting that in backwards, the wind'll take it out by spring." He spent 20 minutes explaining how prevailing winds work around here, even drew a diagram on my shed with sidewalk chalk. I nodded along, waited till he left, then put it up exactly how I planned anyway. Has anyone else gotten unsolicited DIY advice from a complete stranger that made zero sense?

My buddy Mark once had a guy walk into his garage while he was changing his oil, tell him he was using the wrong viscosity, then actually pour his own bottle in and leave. He just stood there holding the empty can like "well okay then.

Man that is peak neighbor energy right there. Drawing a diagram on your shed with sidewalk chalk is wild, I'm impressed he brought his own supplies.
