You may need to do the same thing to protect yourself.
He's in a Homeowners association, he can't paint his house unless it is voted on by committee. Actually I'd bet he can't pass gas without some sort of restriction on his deed.

Wait.

Is it socially acceptable to be a dick to and yell at my neighbors when they do annoying shit in their yard? Is this true? If so how has no one told me this? This could be a life changing discovery for me.

Can someone verify? TIA.

Total cost under $100 for two stop signs.
That was nice of you to even price out the pole.

How's your headlock game? Just in case this dad shit goes bad.

If I were in the same situation and the speed limit around the corner really bothered me.
I'd probably go steal a 25mph sign from another street and mount it at the curve in the middle of the night.

All the neighbors would think the city did it and it would save me the agony of dealing with the idiots running the local government.

Bowser 09-01-2017 04:55 PM
How many times in your life have you yelled out GET OUT OF MY DAMNED YARD YOU DAMNED KIDS DAMMIT?

Yeah, don't do that. It makes you look like an overbearing control freak that's freaked out because he has no control of a situation that he can't control in the first place. I'll say it's noble, but unless you plan on making citizen arrests or standing in the street to physically force people to slow down, you're just wasting your time and pissing everyone that comes by off.

A guy stopped today and told me not to radar him. Was an ass about it. Said he was gong to take the curve at 30 because it was the speed limit. Had a discussion. I was as nice as I could and asked him to just be slower when he was driving through. He was still an ass. Had another resident claim it was harassment

Am I wrong to do this? We have 20 kids in the lots visible and more will be on the way. All lots have houses now.

I am going to the city to talk about options.
1. Stop with the radar gun. You're making enemies of potential allies.
2. Good luck with the city. That's your best choice. Maybe better signage or a
speed bump? Police radar trailer before the curve?
3. Based on past experience both direct and indirect, I'd think about moving.
These things usually don't go well from your perspective.

Geez... Amazon has everything

Dude...why? You can't write them a ticket, you can't report them because they aren't speeding, you are basically sitting out their looking like a douche. Take our advice and stop . If you are that bored you have bigger worries than someone driving 30 around a curve.

I want to buy a house in a Homeowners association when I'm too old to get to my boat. Then I will raise chickens and paint my house camoflauge and pile trash in the front yard. I'll spray all my grass with roundup and have a statue of Pat Mahomes in the front.
