The southwestern Missouri resident complains that the 26 monkeys his neighbor keeps on her property are a real nuisance -- and a safety hazard to boot. Earlier this month one of the primates -- a child-sized rhesus macaque -- escaped and made its way onto Nigliazzo's back porch.
"When I knocked on the window, he lunged at me and the window," Nigliazzo tells the Springfield News-Leader. "They're nasty critters."

Great story, my favorite part is:
That's because Rose claims she suffers a debilitating anxiety order that's only appeased by the presence of monkeys. And -- it gets weirder -- she's suing Wal-Mart and the county health department in federal court for the right to take her favorite monkey with her on errands and grocery trips.

Two words: Ding. Bat.
Oh, wait, that's one word.
Thanks, Tekla. I needed this.

WalMart are discriminating against her for not being able to take her monkey shopping, and for not giving her a toilet of her very own for women with monkeys.
