'My neighbours complain about my Christmas lights - so I just keep adding more'

One user said: "After I moved in, the woman across the street told me she was going to buy my house but it was too ugly. Well, I told her, 'Now you can look at it all day, every day'."
Another user added: "A decorator recently told me that a client of hers had got her to paint the front of his house a horrible shade of bright yellow. When she asked politely if he was sure, he said that
