I wish I could find a snippet of this to play, but in the new John Mulaney Stand up he has a bit that goes something like:
“So on one hand I complain now about going to church when I was little. But on the other hand when people like Bill Mahr are like, ‘What kind of idiot believes in a sky god?’ I think, ‘My mommy! So fuck you!’”

Yeah, definitely sketch comedy. And my dad says cattywampus all the time, although he usually alters it to “cattywampered”. For example: “Whoever built that porch oughta think about investin’ in a level. It’s all cattywampered.”

Yeah, honestly, me too. It’s kind of funny, but something about the actions of billy seem a bit off to me.

It’s all a little too acted. The trash one in particular, Billy looks at the camera a swipes the air in front of her as if to say darn it. I’m not buying it.
Which is fine. I’d have more problem if it was real, because that really would be enabling.

So, we’ve all seen Billy, what does her camera toting neighbor look like?

Yes, the choreography and grace of the stuent when the recycling bin goes over is a bit too expertly planned: https://youtu.be/mwvQNERLtMk?t=35s

Honestly, why else would you line the “garage sale” items up along an angry neighbors’ property line with so much driveway space available?

To set the tables up as a perimeter rather than a thing to be looked at from both sides - that way the neighbours won’t walk on the angry-neighbour side, one misstep away from straying onto their propertah?

Who actually believes this sh#t? Especially the arrest video. There is no way to open the back of a cruiser from the inside. And “the officer” casually walks around to pop her back in all nice-like. Cripes.

Check the video at 5:05. The items are lined up on both sides of the driveway and also on a tarp on the front yard.

I’m having a hard time believing it too, but if this is a real person (and not an actor dedicated over the course of years to this role), the local constabulary surely knows her on a first-name basis by now, and knows what to expect. You’ve heard of the 80/20 rule - 80% of the problems come from 20% of the people - but certain people demonstrate a recursivity to that rule. A person like that would be a repeat customer for the local finest.
I remember when I was a kid someone broke into our house during the day and started making piles of our belongings. We thought her intention was robbery. The police, when they came, said “Oh, that’s just Lulu. She does that. Don’t worry.”
That was the end of leaving the front door unlocked for us - and the day I became an official Latchkey Kid.

But that really only confirms that there are other places to put things IMO.

Eh, seems like there are lots of other ways this could be done that didn’t actually put people in proximity to the thing to be avoided.

But for the gravel in the yard, I might’ve guessed Arlington, Texas. (Previously on the BBS…).
Which reminds me, my class reunion’s coming up. Hmmmm…
