What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 471

You know what grinds my gears?

Sh*tty, disrespectful neighbors.

I've dealt with these sorts a lot. Most of it is rude neighbors who play really loud music in their backyards, so loud that it shakes the walls of my apartment or house. Sometimes they'll also have drunk guests over who throw beer cans into my property. I'm not even talking about one set of neighbors here, by the way.

So at my house, my neighbor to the left is around 40-50 years old with a 20 something year old son that seems to come and go, and she's been a huge b to me and my husband... Plays loud music outdoors (which she is currently doing, even my white noise can't cover it because it's so loud)... Has had her guests either park in or block our driveway... Has a vegetable garden that attracts pests to my house (we got mice last year after she got the garden up, and this garden is RIGHT on our property line, up against our fence............)... It seems she might've reported us for having 'tall grass' in the front yard to the township (it could've been another neighbor but.....meh, I wanna assume it was her)...

I don't even know what to do because whenever I've 'feuded' with neighbors in the past, I was ALWAYS on the losing end. Always. The only thing to do was to move (or more like, I would put up with it until I moved out...). Thing is, I am in a house that I own now, not a sh*tty room or apartment for rent. It's not as simple to just up and leave a house. I also hate the feeling that they 'win' when I have to uproot my life. Thing is, cops have never helped. Talking to them civilly never helped. Talking to them 'on their level' never helped. Nothing ever fixes this issue because people are assholes.

I guess it's not really a grind per se, other than tiring of jumping form it... but who the heck wastes mortars the day before the 4th of July and in the middle of the day. Have heard about 4 or 5 right nearby this afternoon. I know those things aren't cheap to start with and heard fireworks are costing more presently like everything else., so...why waste it.

Several of those and yet only heard one simple bottle rocket all day. Humans... no sense to be made of them.

7/5 -- Last week's work load and those really heavy boxes at a few stores... fine, no prob. Do basically nothing yesterday except sit around? Ah, now that's when I'll find a way to strain my upper back.

*Sage Ninja* · 07-05-2022, 04:06 PM

I am having a hard time finding a job. Even though a lot of places are hiring, for some reason they are not hiring me. I need to find a job! I am running out of savings to live off of. I could just scream right now.

I'm sure that somewhere out there, there is a society which will make you feel loved and needed. Never give up.

Pick up tv dinner tray... reach up to turn off a light... smack try with hand... launch corn juice at small wooden table and things displayed on said table including a sword... however...

So the annual Shark Bullsh*t deal starts tonight, which means I'm not gonna be "allowed" to touch the TV to watch or play something before f*cking midnight every night, from Now until September. Joy. My wife is way too obsessed with sharks so this is an annual thing, and I don't mind telling ya, after 22 years I am so, so over it.

A week was one thing, but now it's literally the entire Summer, and she even insists on watching the many, many shows they repeat from years past even though she's already seen them a bunch.

I just can't condone being that obsessive about ANYTHING. For one thing, it's not healthy, and for another thing, there's things *I* would like to do but I can't. She whines that I sleep too late - which I do - but fails to acknowledge that a lot of the reason I'm up until 5 or 6am is because I generally can't start playing video games until around midnight for one reason or other.

As stated, a week for that kinda thing is... excessive, but fine. Two whole MONTHS of Shark Stuff on TV? Jesus Christ, nothing deserves that kind of attention, I'm sorry.

How many times can they remind you that sharks have two dicks? Seriously, that's like a daily thing now, and again, after a few years of hearing about it, I'm sooooooo tiiiiiired.

It's not even about the sharks, I'd think it were stupid if a bunch of channels hijacked two whole months of TV for lions or gerbils or any other animal. Whooooooo caaaaaaaares already.

Then I get barely a month of "TV Freedom" before it's October, and then I'm not allowed to do anything but watch horror movies for a month, even though I'm beyond sick of those, too. Bah.

This is true? This is the first time I'm hearing this. I guess the deviantart artists were right all this time?

*IndigoErth* · 07-11-2022, 06:15 PM

Today I learned that Cubed browses DeviantArt for shark dicks...

Why can't the Ninja Turtles hijack tv for two months each summer. They don't even have to tell us about their junk, just run 2003, etc.

"They don't have to" but a lot of folks would low-key be thrilled if they did.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-11-2022, 08:50 PM

She literally just "shushed" me.

Yeah, nevermind, I f*cking hate sharks.

Goes by first of two latin kings on the boards... Don't know what his issue is, nor do I care.

*Powder* · 07-12-2022, 05:02 AM

He's a creep, I blocked him years ago.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-12-2022, 06:41 AM

I'm impatiently waiting to work "fatso-san" in on somebody. That's a good'n.

Someone's being a bit of a pest on my FB page but I don't know if they're hefty enough to drop that bomb on, though.

Are you among the many owners who make up little silly songs that are sung to pets?

If that's the case, maybe the shark watcher would appreciate loud and very disruptive shark themed songs... just saying. I mean, if it's sharks, how can she dare not appreciate it?

I thought you and I were good. This is news to me.

It was brought to my attention that Michael Edgecomb was still complaining about me which was why I sent him those messages confronting him. Then someone else brought it to my attention that he had posted here to garner sympathy rather than face me due to his absolute lack of emotional maturity.

To reiterate, if you sell remorse purchases to a re-seller at or below the cost you paid, it in NO WAY makes you a "victim." You are also not entitled to any sort of discount as a buyer based on the specifics of your personal situation. You don't just get to make up your own prices.
