I MUST have magnets in My feet the way the scale needle whizzes around when I step on it. I have not broken a needle yet.;)

The Irish Travelers supposedly have Their own city in Florida where They have their own rules and cannot be prosecuted. It makes the news every couple of years.

I live in the country in Ohio. I had an "Irish traveler" pull in the driveway and offer a discount priced driveway paving. The truck had a sign stenciled on the side that stated "Road Department." It was made to look like a State highway truck. I have heard of Them but never encountered one...

One of the more unusual ways to get rid of mice and rats was a coworker had Someone come over and bring a ferret along for a couple of hours. As soon as the vermin smelled the ferret they started screaming and vacating the premises at high speed. Don't know how long the effects last.
