Hanging Out In Your Driveway/Garage

[Donger]

We have some new neighbors. To be blunt, they don't exactly fit in to our neighborhood. The are displaying some anomalous behavior, such as sitting in lawn chairs just inside their garage. Why would they want to do that? They have a backyard, and a rather nice deck and lawn upon which to place said lawn chairs. What's so fascinating about the front? Don't they want some privacy?

Yesterday, these people inflated some kind of pool thing, filled it with water and all got inside of the pool. Again, on the driveway. Why?

Also, at present count, there are four people living in the home. Yet, they have six vehicles. Why?

Try chanting and burning the days newspapers in your yard at dusk a few nights in a row, point to the sky and make a loud wailing sound then drop and take a knee pretending to shoot a rifle toward their garage. Then laugh loudly, say something with a Islamic accent and run back in the house. Do this a few times and all should return to normal.

I have an old couch on my front porch to hang out on.

PBR along side. But im good about cleaning up the empty cans in my yard the next day.

I read my HOA one day. It said we were not allowed to grow a garden.

I thought WTF?

I have a confession to make.
I own a home, and my garage is detached and sits behind my house attached to the back yard. It has cable television, a modest sound system, a fridge, deep freeze, an A/C unit, a bar, and a pellet stove. We entertain a lot of guests there rather than in the house to save the house from the mess. We do a lot of BBQing in our backyard, and its nice to go into the garage to get out of the elements when you don't have the picture perfect day. It also doubles as a dog house for my two furry friends. Its great to be white trash. Carry on.

You have it all wrong...those are garage chairs.

Thats nothing, I have a piece of white trash living behind me. I tried to talk my neighbors into buying the house when it was on the market. Its a tiny little house that could be cool, some old lady lived there. When I was it on the market for 30K I went and told the realtor I'd pay 10 cash, I was turned down and then tried to talk the neighbors into it. Didn't happen so no some drug dealer who has a brother who likes little kids is the wrong kind of way lives there.

They have a effin dog tied to the clothes line. Its a mean SOB because its been stabbed I'm told. It got loose one day and grabbed some kids pants and started to drag him back to their garage, I saw it and introduced that dog to my shovel. I knocked on the MFers door and said if your dog gets loose again I'm going to kill it.

WHITE TRASH, but he is scared shitless of his neighbors.

Replace “bar” with “work bench and tools” then “pellet stove” with “propane heater” and you’ve just described my garage.
I do a lot of entertaining in my garage also, but it’s more like do a little wrenching, drink lots of beer. Do some more wrenching, drink lots more beer. Can’t read the numbers on the wrench anymore, screw it, beer’s still cold.

If that is the worst thing your neighbors do you should be thankful. Do you live on Mary Poppins Lane? Just me and my wife at my house and we have 5 vehicles. Got to have some toys.

Our HOA group puts the Gestapo to shame.

You gave them your phone number?

Yeah, I have a buddy that lives in Olathe (surprise). His neighborhood is pretty nice with houses in the mid 200 K range. Everyone has a nice 4 to 5 thousand dollar deck in the back yard with nice landscaping. Then, they all hang out in the driveways. My buddy has us over and puts his chiminea and grill in the driveway and puts a foosball table in the garage. I'd much rather hang out in the back. I dont understand it either

Last week i was in a checkout lane and two women were talikng away in front of me, then i heard one say "Oh my house in the one with the bathtub sitting out in the front yard."

HOA's can be a good thing people.

Leander man arrested for shooting child with BB gun
By Isadora Vail | Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 04:09 PM

A Leander man was arrested and charged Sunday in connection with shooting a child in the back with a BB gun.

Robert Cleland, 38, was released after posting bail of $7,500. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

Cleland told Leander police that he was drinking beer in his driveway while a group of neighborhood children were playing “war” with pellet guns, according to the arrest affidavit.

Cleland allowed one of the children to shoot him in the leg, after the victim’s father suggested it, but all of the children began shooting their guns at him, according to the affidavit.

He became angry, and grabbed his Daisy Powerline 880 BB gun from his garage. A boy continued to shoot at Cleland and as he walked away, Cleland “aimed the gun at (the boy’s) butt and discharged the BB gun,” according to the affidavit.

When police arrived, they found a hole and blood on the boy’s shirt. There also was a wound in the middle of his back that was approximately the size of a BB gun and was bleeding, the affidavit says.

Cleland was convicted of a terroristic threat in 2000 and spent 30 days in jail, according to open records.

20 years? For just shooting a kid in the bum with a BB gun?
