Self entitled wealthy neighbour's response to simple question

What about it?

My question to my neighbour was this: "<<name>> how long are the renovations going on for?" And then the rest is on the image. For about 2 weeks now he's been banging and clattering at 7am, having scaffolding for this, ladders for that, and often the workmen will block our single track lane that's only wide enough for one car. I brought my son home from school today to be greeted by one guy in an Audi and a white van blocking the lane, and not bothering to move. As I said, this has been going on for a couple of weeks and I'd not said anything up to this point, because he's doing his house up - it makes a noise and mess, I get that. So I text him, and he's on the defensive straight away. I purposely don't engage in his aggression and try to get my point across. I know full well he'll say nothing to any workmen from now until they're finished because no one but him matters on the lane. Then to try and financially shame me with the jibe at the end truly speaks to the kind of person he is. He had a 65" projector in his garage that he'd turned into a cinema room. But that wasn't enough so he extended his house and bought a 55" OLED TV. I know this because he subtly leaves the boxes out by the bins at the front so we can all see. I googled it, it was about £3500 (at the time). Then two weeks later (no exaggeration) there's a box outside for a 75" OLED TV next to the 65" one, coming in at £4500. When I've got enough disposable income to upgrade my house I will do it. Really not in the mood for arrogant, up their own a*se "I've got more money than you so therefore am better than you" thunderc*nts. You could say I'm mildly infuriated.

I wonder if they might also withhold most seats until last minute? Cheapest tickets don’t have assigned seats?

NJ sent a toll to collections

What about it?

The TL;DR is the only notice I ever saw in the mail was the “final notice.” I returned it as requested providing my Maryland EZ-Pass account information, which is active and in good standing (no idea why the toll plaza didn’t detect it). Next thing I get in the mail is from a collections agency. And after a quick Google, I read that NJ passed a law in February that they have to check if the registered vehicle has an EZ-Pass account in another state before sending out notices. Which… apparently they decided not to abide by. This feels like a racket. Like, even more so than normal toll racketeering.
