The professional association for B.C. bylaw workers says among its top 10 91Ƶinteresting91Ƶ calls received last year included a resident complaining about a neighbour 91Ƶpurposefully91Ƶ flatulating in their general direction as a form of harassment.

The Local Government Compliance and Enforcement Association of BC released a list of top 91Ƶinteresting, unique and funny calls91Ƶ received by bylaw departments in the province last year.

The association says it91Ƶs sharing the list to educate the public on what may or may not be an issue for bylaw officers, including a complaint from a person upset about someone being approved for an emotional support duck when their friend wasn91Ƶt allowed to have a chicken.

One call involved a resident complaint about a neighbour91Ƶs yellow tulips clashing 91Ƶwith the colour of their fence,91Ƶ and another call came in about a person shopping at a thrift store with a cat that was in heat and 91Ƶyowling loudly.91Ƶ

A resident in an unnamed location called bylaw enforcement because they were 91Ƶupset91Ƶ that a neighbour was 91Ƶthrowing dog feces into their yard,91Ƶ but the piles were actually mole hills.

The list also included a complaint about a yellow car violating 91Ƶcommunity standards,91Ƶ a 91Ƶfrightening91Ƶ tarp, a pond attracting wildlife and a cat that sat on a fence that stared at the complainant.
