I certainly hope that the nosy busybodies get put in their place when they attempt to turn in their tattling reports.

So, those that think that the story of Troll Ladies is just an urban legend, can rest assured that they really do exist and are busy informing on your neighbors (or maybe you).
I'm not sure I disagree with what they're doing.

Isn't it true that even if a report is made, the authorities check things out themselves before any action is taken? And if so, then how is this any different (except in degree, of course) than calling the cops when you see someone acting suspiciously, or reporting a shoplifter to the store manager?

I can see where this would be irritating, maybe a major inconvenience if the the authorities verify that that they're in violation of something and are required to make it right. But aren't they doing all of us (except the violators, of course) a favor?
