I would be excited if we could reimagine workplaces that start from a premise that women are going to be a central part: Women are going to bear children, people are going to raise those children, and it's not going to be a nuisance - it's actually going to be understood as part of the deal.

American Lawyer

Frequency Matters

Nuisance can describe a range from slightly annoying to extremely bothersome situations.

Intensity Varies

Sometimes 'nuisance' is used lightly or humorously to describe inconveniences.

Not Always Serious

In law, 'nuisance' can mean that someone can be legally compelled to stop the disturbing behavior.

Legal Implications

A legal nuisance often involves a violation of people's rights to enjoy their property.

Harms and Rights

Legal nuisances are split into public (affects the community) and private (affects an individual).

Public vs. Private

 if you issue a veiled bribe, then the dishonest officer could interpret it as a bribe, in which case you get the payoff of going free. The honest officer can't hold you to it as being a bribe, and therefore, you get the nuisance of the traffic ticket. So you get the best of both worlds.
