Maine Man Is Pissed His Neighbors Blocked A New Dunkin Donuts So He's Decorating His Yard With Toilets In Protest

AUGUSTA — Five toilets sit at the rear of plumber David Labbe’s lawn, on the back side of a home he doesn’t want.
David Labbe is looking for 60 to 70 toilets, in addition to the five already there, to install on his lawn in Augusta to protest the city’s decision to deny a zoning change that would have permitted Dunkin’ Donuts to build a store on the property. Under a recent proposal from a developer, his 1 Davenport St. house and an adjacent vacant Stone Street service station would have been torn down to build a drive-thru Dunkin’ Donuts. That’s how Labbe wanted it. He said he agreed to a sale price three times higher than what he paid for the property in 1999, and he wants out. But Augusta officials, backed by neighbors, soundly rejected the zoning change that would have allowed the franchise to come. Labbe’s deal was scuttled. So in August, Labbe countered by putting toilets up on the edge of his lawn bordering Crooker Street. On Sunday, flowers were planted in the bowls: pink chrysanthemums in three, yellow lantanas in two. “I’m going to line the whole street with toilets,” Labbe said in a Sunday interview. “I figure I can put almost a hundred up in there.” “When you don’t get your way with something, to take vengeance or revenge on your neighbors shows a demonstration of poor character,” said Glenn Mills, who lives at 13 Fairview Ave., of Labbe. Not that Labbe cares what neighbors think. “That’s too bad,” Labbe said. “They pissed me off, I’m going to piss them off now.” “He’s not pissing us off,” Stokes said. “Most of us who live on the street think it’s pretty childish behavior.”

Love this move from David Labbe. Don’t get mad, get even. Want to block me from selling my house for 3 times its value? Fine, get ready to live on the Chocolate Highway. See how your property value plummets when the culdesac is lined with 100s of shitters. Eye sore for an eye, bitches! And I love the neighbors trying to play it cool like the fact he’s serving up homemade manure on his front lawn doesn’t bother them. “He’s not pissing us off, it’s just really childish and OH MY GOD I CAN’T STAND TO LOOK AT THOSE TOILETS FOR ONE MORE SECOND!!! GET THEM OUT OF HERE!” Sorry, suckas. Should have investigated just how incredibly vindictive your neighbor was before you shot down his cash out.
