He doesn't want to know about you. He wants everyone in the neighbourhood to read his opinions on lawn maintenance and parking.

It's so very boomer for people to be very insistent over something so widely agreed as wrong that software automatically corrects their error so nobody notices it.

There was just a ton of racist poo poo on mine including someone posting there shouldn't be a greenway that has a bike trail because it would allow the "thugs" from the train (the train is only like 4 blocks away anyway) to move more efficiently but I think there was a mod on it just deleting all the garbage because they're gone now. Along with the great property tax discussion that had 400+ posts and didn't understand what federal covid assistance money was.

quote:Beer thieves. My neighbor noticed some boys walking in their yard and went out to the garage to catch them in the act of stealing beer from the garage fridge! She yelled at them and they left but they did get at least one beer before they left because it was found smashed in the middle of the road near the intersection of ------- and ------. Does anyone have any cameras near there that record the street?? lmao maybe don't leave your loving garage door open all night. And I'm pretty sure this has been a thing since garage fridges have been a thing. I'm sure there are different names for it in different places, but in high school, we literally called it "garaging." We'd drive through the neighborhood looking into open garages for cases of beer stacked up or exposed fridges, dash and grab a handful of cold ones or a case or two.

"Electricity theft by A____ Roofing. A heads up to anyone living in the buildings who are having roofing done by this company, they likely have been using YOUR electricity. These guys have been using my outlets to run their tools for at least two days and not once was I asked permission for them to plug into my outlets. We contacted the company and after back and forth they agreed to reimburse us but I would HIGHLY advise others to do the same if they’ve done work on yours or will be doing work to prevent any issues." So far there are over 30 comments just dunking on her. Finally, in these divisive times, a post that you can unite everybody.

She should get locking outlets. I know they make locks for water taps so the landscaping crew can't get anything to drink.

Yeah, if it’s hot I’ll bring out glasses and a pitcher f ice water, if it’s cold I’ll offer coffee, and I’ll let them know if they need water or whatever they can use the kitchen sink. I get why some people want their regular service providers to be self contained and not come into the house, but I only have landscapers out once or twice a year, always on a weekend when I’m there, and it would feel weird to not treat them like people. If they seem dodgy as gently caress that’s a different matter, but I try not to hire people who creep me out.

These guys are touching literally everything you own, but you don't want them to be able to take a piss or wash their hands?

My local nextdoor equivalent (FB group) is extremely wholesome - 99% of posts are either "look at this nice picture I took of our town" or "I found thing - is it yours?" People are totally addicted to returning lost property - there was post last week trying to reunite someone with a lost roll of wrapping paper. It got shared twice too, but sadly the owner did not come forward

Good lord. I understand being irritated if people let their dog go up to your porch, but this person believes a dog shouldn't be able to pee or poop along the sidewalk (even if they clean up the poop part). People are apparently supposed to force the dog to go before the walk and then train it to only pee on curbs.

It's me. I'm the crazy old fucker with exactly 152 videos of dogs taking shits near their yard while shrieking in rage and thinking "...in a NORMAL society" about this. The line about the 'park by the house where children roll around in it' is the basis for ALL of this. A dog peed on him as a kid, or he slipped on a dog turd once, and it has given him some kind of weird phobia where "No, it is the WORLD that is wrong" about dogs going for walks and his whole life has been silently seething about "How DARE they" every time he sees a dog on a leash. I can promise you. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Sep 3, 2021 |

They are now arguing about easements and why do they have to maintain that area, yet allow dogs to pee on it.

Ah, yes, definitely a stable person here who literally makes veiled threats of violence against people and their dogs for the act of existing, basically.

I like the passive aggressive 'owners train them to do' line, best, I think. I know that when my dog gets antsy and walks around randomly for no set distance at all, what I do is raise my fists to the sky, stamp my jack-boot, and then point, and then say "THERE, SPOT, RIGHT THERE!!" and the dog instantly begins making GBS threads and pissing immediately upon where I command it to, it's the very first thing they teach you in puppy obedience classes.

I want to see Nextdoor posts from the time before cars, when horse drawn carriages or simply riders were common. "I have noticed Mr. Jefferies of 132nd Townsend and his Chestnut Mare, 'Ballsley', seemingly urinating in the street dust JUST after the sweeper has past by on nearly every third day of the fortnight!. Certainly Mr. Jefferies canst constrain his Mares Urine such as he passes by so as to stop such an odorous assault upon my poor lot?" As the street is filled with hundreds of horses and horse-drawn vehicles all making GBS threads and pissing everywhere.
