    Been speaking to the old man about the shed he had built a few years ago. It was flooded in '19 because the neighbour’s sprinkler system ran non stop for weeks. I had to climb over and turn it off because the council and yarra water were hopeless (this isn’t the point though). It was a serious amount of water that made its way 2 doors down.

    Anyway he’s in a little email argument with the other neighbour because he thinks it’s that guys fault. The wall is disintegrating and the hydrometer is maxxed out.

    I genuinely believe it was the massive flooding event from the other neighbour right before 3 b2b la ninas that super saturated everything so it’s a series of compounding events.

    In explaining this I said “the theory that holds the most water”. Completely lost on him…

    So to all you bad pun people, I see you and you are appreciated. It’s a tough crowd out there.

      Slightly relevant and quite interesting imo. Google ‘Wayne tank principle’ if you want to read about legal interpretations of damage that has been caused by multiple different events, one event being covered by insurance, one excluded. How to determine liability?
