- At our next-door neighbor's 5-year old's birthday party, the parents (and their 20-year old son) went into the bedroom and did some coke. - JaxSean Mar 17, 07:29 5

  - even though it is pretty obvious our building is concrete and quite sound proof, we haven't got any rugs yet - Andie Mar 17, 07:30 3
    - I live in a really old building - so lots of noises and I can hear the people upstairs - decline Mar 17, 07:40
    - [deleted] 1
      - it is so true, you can't expect people to not 'live' in their own home. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 07:36
- I've got nothing. We bascially don't have neighbours where we live now and it's glorious. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 07:27

Teenage kid faces $25/day fines because he owns a pickup truck and his neighborhood association forbids parking pickup trucks in driveways. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 17, 07:08 35
- no parking space for rent close buy? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 17, 07:21 13
  - The correct answer is a garage or maybe a vehicle cover. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:32
  - First off that's ridiculous. He'd spend more to park the truck somewhere else then he'll get in fines. And he'd have to either walk or get a ride to - Jim Mar 17, 07:26 11
    - more than $25 a day? I can't image if you paid monthly you would pay anywhere near that much (if a space existed near your home.) -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 07:28 10
      - They don't want trucks in the driveway...he ain't finding a space to park his truck for cheaper than the fines. And like spammy said, it's moot as - Jim Mar 17, 07:33 7
        
        Isn't Wildwood the one where they tried to fire the mayor but then the court ordered the city attorney and half the board terminated? -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 07:37 3
        
        Very well could be. My dad was a councilman out there for a while. These people seriously have lost touch with reality. One of the bigger issues I - Jim Mar 17, 07:41 2
        
        Just looked it up...I think that was Ellisville., -- nm - Jim Mar 17, 07:43 1
        
        Oh, right. I knew it was somewhere out there :) -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 07:52
        
        He could demand they revote it. No way he could/would override it all together, though. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:34 2
        
        What I really appreciate about this is that the kid isn't just railing against authority. He's actually trying to have the rule changed - Jim Mar 17, 07:38 1
        
        Yeah. And that is what typically happens. Neighbor, for whatever reason, gets unhappy and notices the rule is in place. - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:43
      - This is a fairly rural(ish) exurban type area. It would be logistically impossible to do. -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 07:29 1
        
        oh, yeah, i get that it just might not exist, period. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 07:31
- My townhouse is part of a condo corp, but there is no way this sort of by-law would ever get passed. -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 17, 07:21 1
  - Usually they are built in form the beginning and are ignored until someone decideds to be a jerk and point it out much later. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:33
- I love my HOA (civic association, really) - it only exists to guarantee that it doesn't have power to do anything - prayformojo Mar 17, 07:21 1
  - that's awesome. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 07:23
- 1 question: did he know the law before he bought his truck? -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 07:19 2
  - and he should study the rules for the subdivision and start calling the cops daily on the assholes who are after him for this - Beaker Mar 17, 07:22
  - Well, he'd lived there since he was 1. I imagine someone in the house knew. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 17, 07:21
- Reason #673 why I am not buying a house. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 17, 07:14 4
  - Because renters have *more* rights? -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:17
  - just don't buy in an HOA. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:15 2
    - exactly. people here would revolt if people restricted what they could do to and with their house like this. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 07:18
    - [deleted]
- The only part is shocking is they HOA changed the voting set-up from super-majority to simple majority. Otherwise, why are people shocked? -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:12 3
  - Doing the math, the super-majority would have had to be 134-3. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:15 2
    - I imagine it's a supermajority of all possible votes. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 17, 07:20
    - Dies it state the toal number of units? Typically the majority required to change a by-law is a two-thirds. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 17, 07:16
- I will never live in an HOA again. - Reagen Mar 17, 07:12 2
  - I'd never consider it. never. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 17, 07:40
  - Would that I could .. and I've been the president of one before. Your point about local gov is completely accurate. - Beryllium Mar 17, 07:32
- Can't believe that kind of shit is happening in Nelly-ville. Actually, yes I can. My dad lives in Wildwood and it doesn't surprise me in the least. - Jim Mar 17, 07:11 1
  - trying to ban parking trucks here would get you punched in the face before you even finished the sentence. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 07:12

- that extra game will actually make things safer in the NFL for players! -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 06:38 1
  - The week off is bad for players. Look at that deadbeat Peyton! -- nm - Drunk Irsay Mar 17, 06:52
- So only the #1 seed gets a bye....and the Cowboys will still figure out a way to blow a week 17 game to miss out on the playoffs. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 17, 06:26
- Yeah, this isn't good. We already have 8-8 teams going to the Super Bowl...do we need to water it down anymore? -- nm - Jim Mar 17, 06:24 9
  - I have *zero* issues with division winners getting a playoff spot. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:39 5
    - I don't either. I just don't think we need to expand it to add even more mediocre teams to the field. -- nm - Jim Mar 17, 06:46 3
      - I agree with this. There's nothing wrong with the format now, but I guess owners want more money. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:49 2
        
        Yeah, I'd rather have the uncommon 10 win team miss out than open it up where mediocre 8&8 teams are viable almost every year. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 17, 06:52 1
        
        It is good for the game. Watch what college having a play off system will do! -- nm - Drunk Irsay Mar 17, 06:54
    - agreed. Remember when the NFC West a shitshow? It all comes around (for the most part) - Beaker Mar 17, 06:42

    - Add in the college conference champions, all the way down to Division III, and enough at-large to fill out the table. - Was Bar Was Mar 17, 06:38 1
      - The Oakland Raiders have been relegated to Division II college ball -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 06:39
anyone gettin' drunk today for Saint Patrick's Day? -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 06:10 11
- Man, I love St. Patrick's Day. -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 07:10
- Negatory -- nm - CQ Mar 17, 07:02
- Hell yeah, baby! -- nm - Drunk Irsay Mar 17, 06:49
- Unlikely, although we're making Guinness lamb stew for supper. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:39 1
  - [deleted]
- If by "getting drunk" you mean "cleaning the bathroom" then yes. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 17, 06:18
- Who has time to get drunk on a Monday?! -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 06:15
- I'm leaving work early and going to the pub to hang for a few pints but it won't be a late night -- nm - decline Mar 17, 06:14
- i got a liltipsy yesterday but not necessarily for St. Pat's Day. -- nm - Diva Mar 17, 06:14

Oh yippee! Nate Silver's new site launches today, just in time to help you fill out a winning NCAA tournament bracket. - Strongbad Mar 17, 05:05 3
- heh, it would be funny if his statistical analysis provided the perfect bracket to thousands of people this year who followed it -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 05:32 2
  - Insurance writers everywhere go out of business. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 17, 06:53
  - I think the statistical analysis will be "Well, folks, when you're right 52% of the time, you're wrong 48% of the time." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 17, 05:41
No snow day! - prayformojo Mar 17, 05:01
Yeah, I don't buy their syrups other than orange soda. I just use frozen limes for the fizzy water. - spamlet Mar 17, 04:52 2
- I like the diet root beer, diet orange, diet cola and one of two others i can't remember. - Will Hunting Mar 17, 06:30 1
  - I need to try the diet orange, I have the regular stuff. The water flavorings are good too but need to be refrigerated so I can't use at work. - spamlet Mar 17, 06:53
Just look at the flowers B2 -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 04:46
