During the summer we seem to attract a host of ATV riders to our street. We are a dead end wooded street and it leads to a dirt road that leads to the lake, and a dirt trail that runs behind our house. We find folks from states away show up on our street to TEACH their young family how to ride one. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! The noise makes me crazy! Zipppp....Zoooom....brrrr....its ILLEGAL to ride an ATV on the street unless its street legal and then its supposed to be kept to the trails, not the roads. DH went out to slow a few down and they flipped him off. Do we really need to spend each summer weekend chasing off folks that jump up and down our road, have children with no helmets, zip thru our yard ruining our grass or flowers, and then they flip you off and keep going! By the time you call the cops it takes hours for them to get to you. By then they are gone.

Screaming kids! STFU! Please, if your children are being fussy, over tired, rude, rambunctious or just plain old over active GET THEM AWAY FROM ME! I want to bang their little heads together. I want to slap the parents and say HEY! Go get your brats!

my worst enemy...a bouncing basketball. thump thump thump for hours! followed by the screaming of teens who are now surrounding the dang thing. GO AWAY! Years ago I paid a friend in town (when I lived in florida) to drag it off. He showed up at 2am and took it. It was set up under the street light which was right next to my bedroom window. BANG BANG BANG! He took it to the boys club parking lot and dropped it off. I felt guilty for a while, but once the quiet set it at midnight and I could sleep again. I got over it. LAter on I found out those boys had stolen it from the boys club to start with ! so, returning it there was a good thing. I wont tell you that later on I had that light busted out so it wasnt like a landing strip in my room, even with black out curtains.

QUIET! just be quiet! why must folks be on the cell phone all day everyday? what do they all have to talk about? in the bathroom, the check out line, the bank, the MD, the concerts, the park, the gym, and so on. SHUT UP! no one actually gets time to just sit and think anymore.
