A dispute involving a man and a neighbor who said he was only trying to help the man with his rainwater-harvesting efforts ended with the neighbor getting bashed on the head with an empty garbage can, according to a Pima County Sheriff's Department report.Let's try to keep it civil out there people.
Deputies who were called to the scene interviewed the man, who said he collected rainwater runoff from the roof of his trailer in garbage cans. He said the neighbor came over, ostensibly to help him, but overturned one of the cans almost directly on top of him.
The neighbor said he had noticed a mud stain in one of the garbage cans and wanted to help by cleaning the can with a hose, but he accidentally sprayed the man with water. That's when the man picked up the empty garbage can and struck him, the neighbor said.
After a witness to the incident backed up the neighbor's story, the rainwater-collecting man was taken to jail on suspicion of assault with a garbage can.

I was wrong. Water apparently is for fightin'.
This is interesting, a man actually had to suffer because of his noble intentions. I guess an important lesson is to be learned from this incident, never help with out being asked.
First of all your title was interesting and took my attention. When I read ahead then am quite amazed at the facts and story involved. It teaches that better to not help anyone and I am disappointed what happened with the man who tried to help out his neighbor, not fair at all.
this is really a interesting article.
