WTH is wrong with people? Are they just so self absorbed that they dont think about other people or are they just plain rude?
In the last 4 months these are some of the rude people ive had to deal with
1. Woman likes to go for 6am walks up my street. She has her phone with headphones on. She holds the phone in front of her and yells into it the whole time she is walking. She is so loud she wakes all of my household up. I went out and asked her to stop. She now only does it on Sat and Sun mornings. How nice of her...NOT
2. Man likes to go for walks at 5:15am every weekday morning. No big deal apart from the fact that he bounces a basketball while walking. So at 5:15am on the dot we hear BOING....BOING....BOING....BOING. Hubby goes out and asks him to stop bouncing the ball and is told to "Bleep off. Its a free country"
3. Ive had to leave notes on 3 people cars who decide that rather than walk a small distance to the high school, they will just park across my driveway instead
4. Neighbours moved out of their house on the weekend. They must of decided that they didnt need the ugly metal drum that they used to keep their chook food in at their new house. So where do they leave it? On the grass area right out the front of my house. Hubby rolled it back down their driveway.
5. 9:30pm last night. Kids are in bed and hubby and I are watching Breaking Bad (great show) when all of a sudden we hear a loud motorbike noise outside. We wait a while so see if it goes away but it doesnt. We go take a look and a group of 4 adults have decided that 9:30pm would be a great time to take their mini, noisy as hell, motorbike for a ride on the tennis courts across the road from my house. I go over and say "Hey, i have kids trying to sleep in here." They respond with "So what?" I then say "I'll just go call the cops then." So they leave
I mean come on. WTH is wrong with these people?

I do hear what you are saying DDB, unfortunately, that's what happens when you live in the "burbs". These days people are inconsiderate towards others, it's very much a me, me, world 😞
but i dont think it has always been like that.
When i was a kid, neighbours were considerate of neighbours.
People kept an eye on each others property.
If you were having a party, you would go tell your neighbours and let them know the music might be a bit loud but would be turned off by such and such a time

yeah you did:
Must be nice to be able to sleep past 5am on a regular basis. I've been able to do that only for the past 2 years. 50 years before that, no chance. Had to go to work.
No I did not. Do not change my post by enlarging and using bold lettering. YOU have changed the meaning of my post by doing that.
I was whingeing about my working life and being grateful that now I can sleep in. That is saying NOTHING about anybody else.
i didn't change anything.
the only reason for highlighting that part of your post
was because you denied there was an insinuation.
i still think it was pretty clear that there was.

ok polks
I apologise for reading something into your post that wasnt there.
We all wake up at 7am. Hubby leave the house for work at 7:30am.
I think thats what makes the loud phone talker and basketballer more annoying. Cause they are waking us up an hour or two before we need to actually wake up.
So you lay there cranky that you are missing the final hour or two of sleep and trying hard to get back to sleep which ends up keeping you awake

Inconsiderate gits.
The bouncing ball would drive me nuts. I hate being woken up early.

Thank you. I was really only whingeing about my shirty life. There is nothing worse than having to go to work if you haven't had a decent night's sleep. And you can never catch up on those hours missed.

i have a lot of people walking past here in the early morning talking and chatting, it doesn't bother me now but should they start bouncing a basketball as well i'd be telling them where to shove it.
we have baby magpies here that wake us up with their squawking and they tap on the windows too the ittle stinkers.

See..........if you had a 9mm, you could put a round through the basketball..........bet the miscreant wouldn't bounce one around you in the future...........
