It's been like a month since the neighbor mowed his lawn - I'm gonna call the county and get them fined because I get a thrill from passive aggression and bureaucratic pedantry

Tom's kids left their bikes on the lawn. YES I CAN SEE that they are hanging out on the porch five feet away but I'm going to call the gated security guards to come by and give them a citation. I've been thinking about joining the HOA board so I'm the authority of this cul de sac.

What Church y'all go to? Oh no way! Us too! Now we usually go to the 7am Sunday school run by Shirley and Walt Johnston for the 55+ crowd and then the 10:30 service to hear Pastor Russell. Every other Sunday I'll usher for the 11:45 service while Patricia performs in the woman's choir. Patricia also directs the Children's Choir, 'His Little Lambs' we call them, at the 8:45 service. My uncle, Eugene, is an Elder so he meets with the other Elders at 6:20am for the Men over 75 group.

bitterandtwisted posted:Do Americans call small towns in rural areas like in Hot Fuzz "suburbs"? We use the terms the same here in the US. We have rural towns that are just towns still. Sometimes a town that was once rural gets enveloped by a metro as it grows, and it still has its original 'historic town center' in the middle of a sea of sprawl.

Oh. My. God. Look at this adorbs little Main Street! It's so quaint and just bustling with all sorts of people. So many little shops with so many different things and you can just walk 20 seconds from one to the other. Such a fun outing!! Oops, look at the time. Kids, it's time to make the 45 minute drive back to our suburban home. I've got a City Council meeting to protest because some loving hippy is proposing "reducing parking minimums" and "building infrastructure that isn't dedicated to cars". Blech. Can you imagine living in such a hell hole??

every year our yearly vacation is to go to disney world and ride the same rides over and over again until our adult children stop talking to us only to return a final time and toss our ashes out on the haunted mansion ride. we belong to the vacuum cleaners now.

Hi its your neighbour. My son, who is a cop by the way, just checked out that street library you have at the front of your house. He noticed that you've only got a single R.A. Salvstore in there. Now I don't mean to kick up a fuss but do you really think it's wise to introduce innocent bystanders to the Legend of Drizzt midway through The Legacy of the Drow trilogy? I dunno, seems irresponsible to me, my son thinks it might be grounds for arrest in skme states but he hasn't looked into it, yet.

Spends 35 years killing neighbourhood pets, the occasional hobo, commits sex crimes. Is much admired personality with large group of friends and admiring persons. Honoured by the neighbourhood association and routinely has almost strangers ask him to watch kids. Gets caught by fluke. “I always new there was something about that guy.. I never trusted him”

That car just flew pas me! This is a residential area where children, my children, play in the streets. I am going to turn around and give them what for! I don't care if they were actually driving the speed limit. I feel like they were going too fast, and that's what matters here. Yelling at them through my car window will most assuredly make them drive slower in the future.

cat botherer posted:do tell... My neighbor had a very, very vocal rooster. This was actually the second rooster they'd owned but the first one would rarely cock-a-doodle-doo. Maybe once or twice a day. Fine. Even though it was against the HOA rules, I'm not narcing on them for that. New rooster was an rear end in a top hat and went off all hours of the day and night, for stretches at a time. I had to swallow my pride and summon my inner Karen; made a call and an online report to the HOA about it after a couple of weeks. It was gone shortly after. Rag on me all you want for not talking to them first; they're very private and rarely even do the "neighbor you don't talk to but at least say hello to" that I'm frankly, awesome at.

No you did the right thing. gently caress having to explain to adults who should know better that they / their pets need to shut the flying gently caress up.

I measured it myself with my handy dandy ruler. loving lazy millennials. Hope they enjoy the passive aggressive note I nailed to their door.

Yes, officer, I'd like to report some out of control teens. Trick or treat ends at 8 pm here, and it's currently 7:50. Some teens I don't recognize are "hip hopping" around my house right now, blaring music, and wearing disguises. Can you get a squad car down here?

No, this isn't part of Chicago, yes we are technically in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. But if you say that I live in Chicago again, I will shoot you with my conceal carry. Yes there isn't an actual geographic barrier that separates us from Chicago, it's all just one solid blob of suburbia. But I hardly see why that matters.

Did you see the good news? They're putting an Applebee's in the old shopping plaza where Chili's used to be! Finally, we'll have somewhere nice to eat. Right now, it's just that family-owned Chinese place, the traditional Mexican restaurant, and that Thai place. Yuck-o!
