1. Maybe they have a problem with raccoons scattering trash. God forbid

she do something terrible like leaving her garage door open. I hear that's forbidden in gated communities.

I'm glad I live out in the country.

4. Right, because THAT'S worth getting infuriated about.

Fucking anger management snapcase bastards. So help me GOD if I ever move next to one of these fucking pricks . . . oh wait.

26. I blame the Republicans

We're being carefully taught and coached to greet any situation with hostility and suspicion, warranting the most extreme reaction. People who assess a situation and try to reach a solution without confrontation are universally derided as weak and ineffectual. There's a lot of money to be made by some people in keeping society as atomized as possible and keeping societal bonds weak. It's been a very pervasive and penetrating effort, one that almost goes unnoticed because of its ubiquity. But like a buzzing fluorescent light, it becomes incredibly noticeable if it stops for even an instant. Suddenly you notice it all over the place, people being set at odds against each other, as if even the smallest enhancement of another person's life costs you something, and it is overwhelmingly the province of one of the political parties, which caters almost exclusively to the forces of atomization.

28. I blame ???

LOL...I blame the garbage can moving neighbor.

[gratuitous]

30. Yeah

But he's just acting in the manner that he's being taught in so many ways. I don't know why having the receptacles out early is such a bother for him, but there's about a million ways to deal with the situation. However, the societally-approved way is to be confrontational, and he's just being a good citizen by being a complete jerk about it. He could talk to his neighbor, he could just let it slide, he could do all sorts of other things, but dominant messages tell him over and over that that is the way of the wimp, and he's not a wimp. As a good American, he's obliged to use might to make right.

And for that, I blame the Republicans.

5. And when this does not work, they call me.

and if there is nothing real to report, they just make stuff up, anything to get a government inspector out there to hassle the neighbor and try to stir up trouble. You get a read for these after a while, you can tell the by tone and timbre of the voice on the other end of the phone that the real issue is not what they are presenting.

[Th1onein]

6. And WHY was this guy arrested?

He very well might be an asshole, but he shouldn't have been arrested.

11. There's more to the story

According to the report, when Castellano's neighbors went to his home to speak to him about his behavior, he threatened to grab his gun and show them "who's boss." Castellano then walked inside his home and closed the front door.

Afraid Castellano was going to come back with a gun, his neighbors called police.

When officers arrived and were speaking with the neighbors, Castellano walked outside and approached them, police said.
The officers ordered Castellano to raise his hands above his head, but he ignored them and yelled at them that he did nothing wrong, police said.

According to the report, Castellano said he was the Realtor for the property and had the right to do what he wanted. Police said Castellano then became uncooperative and refused to speak to officers.
Police said officers found three guns in Castellano's home, and his breath smelled of alcohol.

29. I want to know why he wasn't charged with assault for threatening her with a weapon?

Hopefully the DA will up the charges.

8. Our refuse collection company asks us to put our bins out the night before...

... and the reason why is because they start collections at a very early hour. Our rubbish is collected before I've taken my kids to school.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Before I retired my garbage was usually picked up before I woke up to go to work at 5:30AM.

[CanonRay]

9. I thought this was a John McCain story...

[aikoaiko]

10. Where I grew up, the garbage men brought the bins to the street and returned them to the house side.

I had no idea this was not the norm until I left home.

[LiberalFighter]

17. You were lucky.

[aikoaiko]

20. Yes, things turned around on me when I lived in a town where I had to bring my trash to the dump.

The dump was 10 miles away and I had to sort everything.

[pipi_k]

22. I hear ya....

Our yearly vehicle dump stickers went from $25/year to $65/year.

There are some things the dump won't take in recyclables, like plastic, aerosol cans, etc.

So we have to fill a trash bag and then pay another $2.00 for each bag.

If it's a small appliance or something, it's another $25.


And we have to sort all of it.

But at least my dump is only 5 miles away.

12. Drunk first thing in the morning.

That's just sad really.

[pipi_k]

13. I really hate these half-a-story stories

with no details.

Like, how much garbage did that neighbor actually put out...

WHY did that neighbor feel he had to yell at her for putting it out too early...

IS there a problem with dogs or other animals rooting through garbage in that neighborhood?


What color is the garbage can?

ha ha. Just kidding.


um...no.

I really want to know what color the can was.

15. Hey I got one of those types living next door to me

The woman is batshit insane, it started with my lawn mower that I bought for $15, it was missing the grass catcher cover, so grass would fly 20 to 30 feet, the grass that my body wouldn't stop that is. Anyhow grass was blown up on her 97 Buick, she came running out the door to inspect the car for stone chips, yeah like I didn't walk the yard searching for stones where there are no stones, I look just in case as anything the mower hits will put me at risk of being hit first. She then demanded that before I mowed my yard I had to knock on her door and inform her I was mowing the yard so she could move her car.

A month later I had a guy come over to see how much he would charge to take a tree down, he stepped into her drive way and she came running out of her house claiming the guy was peeking in her kitchen window, the window is 7 feet off the ground, the guy is 5'3". He refused to send his tree cutters to cut the tree after that, the reason was my insurance was going to cancel if the tree wasn't cut because it was tearing up my roof, it has branches hanging over her roof so shes running into the same problem. Anyhow after fall a friend of mine cut all of the branches that were on my house off leaving the ones on her side there.

Then in October my dog got out of the yard and went missing, someone had come into my yard leaving the gate open. So me and SO combed the neighbor hood calling for the dog, no luck. When we got back the crazy woman came running out of her house saying she didn't see or touch our dog nor did her or her son drop it off any where. After 10 days I found the dog at the dog pound, she had been there since the day she went missing, I had been going to the pound every other day to look at new arrivals, the pound had put my dog in with the lost cats because she wasn't comfortable with the dogs, so instead of costing me 10 days the pound only charged me $25 to bail my dog out. Heres the kicker, my dog was found an hour after she went missing on the county line which is 20 miles from where she went missing, the pound people said there was no way that a Rat terrier could travel that far in that time frame on it's own.

The really crazy thing is she just moved in a year ago November and she has everyone on the block up in arms because she thinks that everyone should cater to her.

18. I'd put a sign in my yard pointing at hers saying

"IRRATIONALITY AREA"

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. We live across the street from a park where there is a basketball goal

The park also has a curfew of 9 pm.

One night my kids were across the street playing basketball and the cops pulled up, told them a neighbor had called and they were not to be in the park after dark. So they walked home, cops followed them, and as they got to our yard, the bitch next door came out and said she had called the cops because the noise of the bouncing ball bothered her. At 9:15 pm.

So I said well then we'll just have to get one of those goals we can put in our driveway, which is just a few feet from your bedroom window. Cops laughed. Neighbor went back in her house and didn't have much to say to us for the rest of the time she lived there.

Right after we moved into our house, we had a bad snowstorm and found a note in our mailbox from this neighbor telling us she had called animal control because she saw our dog out in the snow in our (fenced in) back yard. Yes, she thought that letting a dog outside to pee in the snow was animal cruelty. Since no animal control folks had come to our house, I called them. They laughed, said yes, some crazy lady had called and they took the report and laughed.

Yes, we celebrated when she moved.

[mrcheerful]

25. What started it all was we had some boxes that were stored in a musty moldy

basement for 2 years, most of the items in the boxes had to be thrown out because of the mold and smell. We keep our trash bins on the front porch so they don't end up growing legs and walking off, so the boxes as well as the stuff we had to throw away sat out on the porch for 6 days waiting for trash day. Crazy women called the animal control people because she claimed we were neglecting our cats because she claimed the cats were locked on the porch with no clean litter boxes as well as the males spraying, the basement smell was that heavy. Animal control came out found nothing and told bat shit woman that if she called again they were taking legal action. Of course in crazy womans mind I either paid off the control officers or I tricked them somehow.

21. Senator McCain? Have you relocated to Fla?

:rofl:

[Amaril]

23. Yeah, there are............

......and it seems like we have more than our fair share of them in south Florida. I can't WAIT to get out of here (33 days and counting) for good!!!

[LWolf]

27. I'm glad my neighbors are tolerant.

Of course, I don't have many. I live on the dead end of a private dirt road, with 3 other residences on that road. Still, I work really long hours, and my driveway is 300 feet long. In the winter, when it's dark at 4:30 and the weather can be really nasty, I will take my can out early if I can. More often, it's late coming back in. It doesn't get back in for a couple of days, when I can haul it in daylight.

My closest neighbor, across the dirt road, tolerates that just fine, even though his can is out and back on time. He's retired. He's not gone 12-14 hours a day.

31. Here in Denver, we only get to pull out one big ass can of trash

and anything that overflows will be picked up every 3 weeks. And large items are picked up every 6 weeks.

My in-laws generated so much trash during their short stay a few weeks ago, it took me about a month to get rid of it all.

Today, I have to haul out an 50 years old mattress that's been sitting in the backyard for the large item folks to pick up. I took it outside a month ago. It was sitting in the a small room we finally got around to converting to a guest room.

If you want it and live in Denver, swing by and get it. PM me.. It's in fairly decent shape.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the city of Denver posted a notice asking me to pull in my trash because it was sitting out there for a week (because no-one bothered to tell me what week they would pick it up)...

I'm using my city-sent calendar and marking the overflow pickups...
