    On Halloween they were passing out candy AND ALCOHOL

    My sister and her husband pass out cotton candy for the kids and cocktails for the parents on Halloween. They are the favorite house on many people’s trick-or-treat route. They’ve done it for so long that kids that grew up in the area are grown and excited to bring their own children to their house.

    I know this is not the point of this but raking (and mowing) lawns needs to stop being a thing. It’s bad for the lawn, the plants around, the essential bugs, and bad for the environment. Even aesthetically, it looks bland and stupid.

      I think monoculture lawns look really cool and doubly so if they are neat and clean with some nice landscaping to pair. It can be gorgeous.

      Unfortunately, it’s unethical, unsustainable, and I will avoid it myself, but to say it looks bland and stupid seems like your prerogative is to shame other people into doing the right thing. Which, good luck with that.

        That’s fair, probably just my subjective opinion. But i don’t understand why so many people don’t find a diversity of plants and colors more beautiful and simulating to the mind than a monoculture. It’s your prerogative to think it looks nice too i guess.

          A lot of people don’t have the artistic capability and aren’t willing to put in the effort to make an entire diverse yard landscape look good, let alone maintain it. Now, when well done, of course a diverse yard can also look great.

          But, it’s not like you can just neglect your yard and mother nature will bless you with a beautiful ecosystem in time because of your good intentions. You’re going to be dealing with dead shit, non-native weeds, non-native insects. And depending on where you live there might not be a whole lot of anything lively to look at entirely naturally occurring.

          You have me curious what your landscape looks like if you are a homeowner.

      I find the same thing with cigarettes tbh. I wouldn’t mind my neighbour doing it if she didn’t smoke my old brand, though…

      I think it smells heavenly, so that’s subjective. I’d probably get along better with my neighbors if they were smokers.

      I was thinking the same, I’d like more context though, if it’s a quick throttle blip (or like if they’re driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they’re bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that’s a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I’m erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.

        I had those neighbors growing up. Loud parties until 1 am on school nights, constantly revving their motorcycle. They also parked a boom lift in their driveway and I’d routinely wake up to their teen son looking in my second floor bedroom window.

        Surprise, talking with them didn’t help anything. My dad helped by getting me earplugs. My mom told me to stop bothering her by having needs.

          I didn’t call the police and I had a conversation which lead to a worse behavior for a time. I just ignore them now, but they’re still a nuisance. And I am talking about a 40 year old man, not some adolescent…

            Right on, sounds like you did the right thing. fwiw, I figured as much…my comment was more a commentary on the FB/Nextdoor post from OP.

            Sorry about your luck, I’m sure most of us have had bad neighbors at some point, I know I sure have. It’s such a bummer too because it imposes on your sanctuary of home. Doubly so when it’s a grown-assed man acting like a petulant teenager. Hope things mellow out for you in the near future fellow lemming

      Don’t even need HOA for this. This is what half of the posts on any Nextdoor or town Facebook page look like. There’s an internet-based firehose of impotent rage simmering just under the surface of every “quiet” suburbia in the US and it’s all this same type of shit

        Yeah, but see here’s the thing. I don’t care what those people say. I’m not legally obligated to give a shit what they think of me.

        Whereas with HOAs, if they think your door handle is the wrong color, you get fined. And it’s legally binding.

        But these fuckwits on facebook and whatever the fuck other apps, can eat my entire asshole, as I give them the finger.

      My assumption is that neighbor got Google fiber and during install they had to run the fiber across their lawn to the junction box. My neighborhood has Google fiber. There is an access at the street every two houses.

    All the trees tree’s leafs leaves falled fell into onto my lawn and know now I need to rake it

    That hurt to read. Please encourage your children and neighbors to learn how to read and write. You can’t even blame autocorrect because neither leafs nor falled are words in English.

      Also, “i have to rake it”. Do you though? What did the Earth do for the millions of years before we came along with our goddamned rakes? Just a global flood of leaves, I guess.

        Considering they’re in a neighborhood with a HOA, they might have to rake the leaves or get slapped with a fine. Many HOAs are strict about lawns.

        Not saying they’re justified in trying to get their neighbors evicted. I’m just playing devil’s advocate here.

      Imagine, if you will, this bitter, hateful collection of skin folds wedged into her motorized chair, wheezing, tossing the oxygen hose back over her shoulder while her fat little unmanicured thumbs angrily throw themselves at the mucous-stained phone screen…over and over and over…like little raging marinara-covered kamikaze pilots, with little to no regard for spelling, grammar, or hygiene. The phone makes its best effort to autocorrect the jumbled barrage of entitlement being ejaculated into it, but in reality, it just wants to die - just like her husband.

    Dumb top reply considering all of their complaints are about stuff that is not contained to the neighbors property, except the google fiber thing which is just bizarre.

    As soon as you’re making other people smell or hear something you’re making it their business.

    All noise pollution defenders deserve to never hear their own choice of music without someone else’s bassline cutting through it.
