AIBU: neighbours flag pole (lighthearted)

So my next door but one neighbour has a flag pole in their garden. Proper one. No flag since I moved in a year ago- although I’m looking forward to a suitable jubilee one.
Since the storms it has leaned further and further aka tower of Pisa and now at an angle of precisely 17 degrees to vertical (yes I held up a protractor to check)
I can see it form my living room window
AIBU to now want to give into my increasing urge and mild irritation when I look at it, and go round and tweak it into a proper vertical position. It’s just so damned annoying to look at it in that wonky angle and I now can’t not look at it 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@PakkaMakka

You're lucky it's just wonky. My neighbours have a flagpole with flag in their garden. I presume it's the country of heritage, I know he was born here. I'm really not sure what the purpose is, only he and a few neighbours can see it (back garden) It always reminds me of the Eddie izzard sketch about conquering countries with the clever use of flags.
Goes off to look up this sketch…..

@Bluetrews25

The Americans have a catchy phrase (which I've only half remembered) something like flag on the porch, gun in the closet. Has he got a gun, OP? Best not tamper with anything in case you find out the hard way! Confused
No, he’s very good with a drill though…( he’s a retired tradesman….) .
