I have a feeling this whole argument between me and J.P. is going to be deleted. It's going to be seen as bickering or some crap. Anyway, thanks for the support. Where are you from? Have you noticed any group of people doing things like this where you're from?
I'm not in the mood Broadway. I am not arguing with you, I am making a conversation. If you don't like it well then I just won't talk to you.
I think you are arguing with me, actually. And it just so happens I'm not in the mood either. Which is why I'm not shutting up when you are making the most ridiculous arguments in favor of MOTORCYCLE REVVING. Are you kidding me? Anyone that reads it is probably going to realize that you are incredibly irritated today and bitching on a forum just because you can. I'd like you to take your bad mood elsewhere and not take it out on me. Thanks.
Im from Dallas, Texas. But now i live in Lake Dallas, Texas. They are pretty far away from each other, even though the city names are similar. And yes, i have neighbors across the street who skateboard at 7 in the morning or at dinnertime and my dog goes ballistic. My other neighbor to the right of me keep blasting music in the afternoon and sometimes they will have Football parties and make it really hard for my sister and my mom to drive through.
Well now I am arguing about arguing. If you hadn't failed to bother to read my first post, I was trying to be funny. I wasn't bitching about anything. Do not try to push your weight on me, because it will not work the more you push the more I push back and you're going to lose.
AfterBroadway, I read your post, and WOW, holy crap! Although, I'd like to say that with the exception of the 10-year-olds who wouldn't play with the kid in your family (I forgot the exact wording, was she a cousin?) because she wasn't Mormon, most of the stuff you described is an issue of the individual's personality, not religion. There are nice Christians and rude Christians; nice atheists and rude atheists; nice Jewish people and rude Jewish people; you get the idea. When I was around 10, the lady who lived across the street from us was what you'd call an inconsiderate neighbor. In some ways, she was very nice - she loved to come over and chat - but she had these two kids she was always palming off on people. One was 7 or 8, the other was 3-ish and still not potty-trained. Once, the toddler crapped all over our house when my mom was babysitting him. The lady came to pick him up, and she saw that he crapped everywhere, but didn't clean it up or even offer to (and my mom babysat him for free!). My parents were furious about that. Another time, I was over at their house playing with their older kid, and there was a GIANT dead cockroach under a table. I pointed it out to the woman, and she was like "It's been there for about a week, the cats like to bat it around."
Your mother should have been like, bitch please. And given her a spray bottle and say if the woman didn't clean it up the woman would have to pay for the damage.
I for sure would have. My mom's too nonconfrontational. She did refuse to babysit their kids after that, though.
A spray bottle and a slap would have been better. It gets the message across. It should have went: "Bitch please. [used an exclamation] Take this spray bottle or pay for the damage, but you're not getting away with this."
Jesus, you don't shut up, even when you look like the idiot. Your first post on the subject of rude neighbors was sarcastic and sounded argumentative. If it was a joke, you would have stopped me after my first post that retaliated against yours. Don't back out of it. At least admit you started an argument for close to no reason. Fullmetal: Your post made me laugh because there are a couple kids that skateboard in the middle of the street here all the time. One of them always has one of those flip video cameras, while the others attempt some trick and always fail. Every one has trouble passing them on the street because they have to move their ramp out of the way. Mallory: I do agree with you about there being just rude individuals. I'm not saying that the entire group of people involved with the religion are bad, but generally speaking, I think most of them are inconsiderate. At least here in Utah. And again I'll say that I think it's because a great deal of them are sheltered from other groups of people who aren't mormon. And that's because they have had an entire state for themselves for so long.
AfterBroadway, yeah, I see what you mean. Re the rude neighbor -- Another time, I was riding my bike to the park a few blocks away to meet my friends (aged 9/10) and that same woman was outside washing her car as I rode past. She stopped me and asked where I was going. I told her, and without even asking me, she walks toward the backyard where her toddler was playing and yells, "[Kid's name], put your shoes on so Mallory can take you to the park for the afternoon!" I rode away, fast......
For the last god damn time. I was not arguing with you. You need to learn how to respect and accept people by the benefit of their word.
Hahaha. Oh man, that's a brilliant woman. I think that's how I'm going to get my kids off my back later in life. I had a pretty scary run-in with a neighbor when I was little. A guy tried to lure me into his apartment by telling me a story about how he swore there were aliens inside of it the night before. He told me to come look at the pictures he took, and I was about to. My mom called me in for dinner at that exact moment and thank god for that. Even then though, he told me he'd keep my bike until I was done with dinner and I could come see. But I told him my mom would be mad if I left it. That was when I was about 4 or 5. Scary.
Yeah, the ones in my neighborhood would do the exact same. Sometimes they would even put a random bar in the road to slide on, almost every day i would heart the skateboards pounding on the metal for hours straight. Now they do more free-skating then before, but i do still here them rolling around in the morning and such.
Correction, he was a child-molesting perv. I had been told not to talk to him before that incident, but I didn't realize it was him they were talking about until after this happened.
When I was 11, some cops knocked on our door and told my parents that they were going door-to-door because there was a loose sex predator in the neighborhood. They gave us a flyer with his info and a poster and said to contact the police if we saw him. A few days later, I was at a sleepover at a friend's house, and we were all in her backyard. My friend lived across the street from this big field, and there was a creepy guy just standing behind a tree, watching us.. We all went inside....
Oh god.. just the thought of somebody like that watching you scares me... sex offenders are messed up people.. gives he shivers down my spine..
It means it gives me a cold wave through my body. More of a goosebump then a shiver i suppose. Just the thought of stuff like that makes my body feel cold all of a sudden... kinda like in a freaked out type of way.
