I'm siding with the facebook poster on this one. For a number of reasons..

1. Don't call me a dickhead/asshate/douchebag when I ask you to respect my home and property.

2. If it becomes the standard to have people walking through your yard, no one will care. And by that I mean that when your neighbors see people walking through your yard and around your house, it doesn't raise their eyebrow as something being wrong. And then, weeks later when that strange guy is making about 8 trips back and forth across your yard, casing the joint for the best way inside, no one is going to give a shit because it is expected and allowed to have random people walking around your place.

3. We have the same problem in my neighborhood. Kids wandering around through people's yards at night and "walking home". Well, last December at 9pm my two daughters came running down the stairs crying and screaming that there were people in our front yard doing stuff. These 4 boys "walking home" were going through people's front yards and knocking down christmas decorations and tossing rocks. 4 boys, 12-13 years old.
And now, I'm looked at as "the bad guy" because I had the sac to go out there and round these four little fucksticks up and walk them around the neighborhood putting people's yards back in order that they fucked up. Good judgement won out and I didn't go with the original plan of locking them in my garage until their parents came over to clean up their messes and claim them.

Does it suck? yes. Do you have to be vigilant? yes. If you give people a single fucking inch and leniancy, they will take that as a green light that anything they can do, they will, and not face repurcussions. You need to nip that shit in the bud and enforce the standard. When people call you an asshole for holding the standard, don't feel bad and cave in. You stand your fucking ground and hold steady and don't crumble and let people walk all over you (or in this case, walk all over your yard).

Good for you, well played.

And for the record, I couldn't give a shit less about the grass, it's the lack of respect people have for things that aren't theirs that bothers me.

I let people park their car in my yard when they have family over for holidays or graduation party, etc... I really have no problem with it. I come home one day last fall and my kids couldn't use the yard to play because 11 cars were parked in it, yea, 11 cars. I asked people to be a little more courteous and not get carried away.

Guess who the bad guy is now?

There are now railroad ties turned into flower boxes spiked into the ground at every part of the yard where you could pull a car in.

next time cars are in your yard like that - Teach your kids how to push down on the valve stem on the tire to make the really fun, cute noise of air gushing out of the tire.

Some people think my concern over use of turn signals is humorous. Others share my concern, having been a victim or poor or careless drivers who neglect to use their turn signals. The Society of Automotive Engineers recently completed a study that says we should be extremely concerned about failure to use turn signals with changing lanes and turning, because that failure causes about 2 million accidents per year.

http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/201...udy-cites-turn-signal-neglect-as-real-danger/

A seperate study (I previously mentioned that study) has found that failure to use turn signals is responsible for up to 20,000 traffic deaths per year. The next time you see someone neglecting to use their turn signals, think about the billions of dollars in injuries and vehicle repairs that person and other inconsiderate and dangerous drivers are causing, and consider that the person who may be a victim of this inattentive driver is you.

:facepalm:

Plus I am making a big push for my 5000th post, because that is what is important here. That and the fact that I am sitting at home because the lake is off limits due to a tournament this weekend and I am bored stiff. I could go to a local lake I suppose but hate to risk anything prior to a two day.


hope that helps,
