    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 and hear something you’re making it their business.

    Should contact the FCC about theír illegal solicitation of being the first neighborhood to get Google fiber?

    Fake rage bait 🤷‍♂️

      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’m going to guess it relates to their neighbour trying to get the mayor and 911 to evict them from their legally owned home…

      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…

      Not that I’d ever say anything

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

      … Why are you defending Karen anyway??

          Not really. They use ‘there’ wrong early on in the rant. If anything, stuff like that makes it more believable to me.

        That is not what I commented.

        Why are so many arguments on the Internet started like this where a specific, qualified claim is made and then the response tries to pretend a universal, unqualified, ridiculous claim was made instead?

    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.

        I also think it looks really wasteful and ugly. Seriously I dont understand how beauty is in the eye in the beholder in this case.

        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.

      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.

      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.
