    Those are indeed asshole neighbours. You’re posting it because you think she’s wrong?

    Buying a sports car to be noisy with it is drug dealer behaviour

      Especially in a neighborhood. I used to live in this one apartment that had the worst other residents. Like, don’t blast your music in the middle of the night? Don’t smoke indoors. Don’t burn the building down. Take out your trash, ever. And don’t use a subwoofer, I cannot believe the amount of people who think this is okay EVER, or in the middle of the night. It wasn’t a small building, too. Using a sub for hours in the middle of the night had to have ruined like a hundred different people’s sleep.

      I’ve had a great amount of fun trolling on there with a pseudonym and AI-generated selfie. Been doing it for years. You do have to be careful with it, as they need a verified address, but there’s still a ton of latitude to be weird and fuck with your neighbors’ heads a bit.

      I mean, I do have a neighbor that does rev his bike under my bedroom window and listens to loud music a lot. It kind of gets you at some point.

        I had those neighbors growing up. Loud parties until 1 am on school nights, constantly revving their motorcycle. They also parked a boom lift in their driveway and I’d routinely wake up to their teen son looking in my second floor bedroom window.

        Surprise, talking with them didn’t help anything. My dad helped by getting me earplugs. My mom told me to stop bothering her by having needs.

        Yeah but like…would you consider having a normal adult conversation with them about it before calling in the police?

          I didn’t call the police and I had a conversation which lead to a worse behavior for a time. I just ignore them now, but they’re still a nuisance. And I am talking about a 40 year old man, not some adolescent…

            Right on, sounds like you did the right thing. fwiw, I figured as much…my comment was more a commentary on the FB/Nextdoor post from OP.

            Sorry about your luck, I’m sure most of us have had bad neighbors at some point, I know I sure have. It’s such a bummer too because it imposes on your sanctuary of home. Doubly so when it’s a grown-assed man acting like a petulant teenager. Hope things mellow out for you in the near future fellow lemming

          If all it took was a normal conversation, it probably wouldn’t have been a problem in the first place.

          Are you surprised Karen is acting like a Karen??

          Unless I misunderstood and you’re genuinely asking the person you replied to, but, careful, seems like a closeted Karen if ya ask me.

    if it was as bad as she was making it out to be I’d be pretty pissed off too. It’s probably not though. Loud music very occasionally is okay but I’d expect it to be turned off around 10/11 unless it was a very special occasion and I’d been warned in advance (and invited). I doubt the smell of weed is that bad. They shouldn’t be handing out alcohol.

      I dunno, I think parents handing out alcohol to other parents on Halloween is one of those fun things that makes neighbourhood friends.

      It’s hard to make new parent friends so it’s a quick vibe check and a friendly offer to some parent who has walked very slowly, has a sore back from crouching down and holding hands for a couple of hours and knows there will be a battle about candy distribution later.

      Dude people give adult beverages to the adults walking their kids around in every neighborhood. It’s not a big deal. They’re not handing beers to toddlers.

        Not much to tell. It was what the group name made it out to be. Saw some really interesting stuff there. But it looks like they’re going to start doing this weird clickbait bullshit like so many groups do.

    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.

    I would hope the 911 dispatcher either hung up on her or ripped into her for trying to waste emergency resources on petty bullshit. Isn’t that a charge?

      I would guess you call the non emergency number for noise complaints.

      Unless it’s like that time I called emergency at like 1 am for noise on the upstairs apartment, but it sounded like a domestic violence situation.

      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 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 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??
