You live in a nice house on a nice street with nice neighbors, and the occasional asshole doing 45+mph through your neighborhood street.  Are you:

• THAT guy;
• or the old guy it really pisses off?

I F-ing hate people who speed through neighborhoods. I drive the speed limit, sometimes slower, and if I have someone crawling up my *** in a neighborhood, I might ease off the gas even a little more, or brake suddenly  for those stealthy blond squirrels.

Now, on the highway, I believe you should be able to drive any speed, as long as its over 80mph. 

I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!

Is that the stealth blond squirrel?

Have a few of those a-holes in the neighborhood, I panic a bit if the dogs get out front.

I despise people who speed through residential neighborhoods. I just don't trust random cops to tell the truth about it. Also, everywhere you go is a neighborhood. Not all neighborhoods are three bedroom homes with kids and families. Even mills are in neighborhoods - industrial neighborhoods. 

Speed bumps are a good answer. Or spike strips.

You think speed bumps are a good answer until you live near one.  Think about it.....

A speed bump can be a fine things when it sends jaggovs to the otto gay-roj. Taken at a proper speed, they're not an inconvenience. Not compared to dummies flying past your house, anyway. 

I had a neighbor - he'd always been a fine neighbor, - and one day I was in the swimming pool behind my cinderblock fence when a teen rat visiting his kid cranked up the *** music, disturbing my peace. This was in vegas, where every blade of grass is a river rock because the landscape must not drink. So I picked up a perfect stone, and I hefted it skyward on a trajectory sure to endanger those ****. I gave that menace a high arc, that its provenance be impossible to determine. I never knew precisely where it landed - how close to doing damage, or whether in fact it did some damage to an auto or a body. What I do know is that the *** music stopped immediately, and I dropped the second rock which I had already palmed. They had made the smart choice.

The State has a fuel depot down the road....HP speeds up and down the road at highway speed​​​​​​

Sometimes I walk, actually kinda dart out into the road like I am crossing when they come flying by

They have to lay on the brakes which is fun to watch the look on their faces....but what can they say....60+ in a 35 isn't exactly a good defensive position

I'm THAT guy, Karen. Do you scream at the neighborhood kids to get off your grass.

.....thudump...thudump......................thudump....thudump.........................thudump...thudump........................thudump....thudump.

I stayed at a place that was near a speed bump.  All night long, this is what I heard. That killed any idea I had of bitching at the government to install speedbumps when I lived in a neighborhood. 

As for loud music, I was one of those asshole neighbors who called the cops. 

Thankfully, now my closest neighbor is several acres away.  Now, all I hear are gun shots on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, me being one of the participants. That's white-boy music!  You ever see chimps wonder into a "neighborhood" where all the white-boy neighbors are outside shooting at ****?

Not anymore I don't. I don't have to deal with F-ers like you anymore. I live at the very end of a long private road.  Don't even THINK about wondering up that private road. All 4 of us hunt and we shoot on our land.  All 4 of us communicate if we see anyone who even looks a little "off" near the turn-off onto the private road. One of us (who would not be me) has no problem drawing his pistol on the occasional trespasser.  Honestly, I could never figure out how someone even got onto Gunfriendly Neighbor's property. Y'all think I'm a gun-nut, then you need to go meet Gunfriendly Neighbor! Now, me, I'm just a starer....and if someone knocks at my door (rather rare), I go out back and walk around from the woods to greet them. 

Anywhoo, when I did live in a neighborhood, the one thing I could never figure out was why those speeders were constantly stopping to check their tires. It was the weirdest thing, they would be going really fast, and then about 100 feet later would suddenly stop. Get out of the car and start looking at their tires.  Some even shouted obscenities. 
 
 
 

Karen's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did daddy do?

Good idea, if you have good reflexes. There's not much the cops can do about that. You aught to get yourself one of those radar guns and point it at them.

Walking home in 6th grade, 2 younger boys were throwing rocks at what I perceived to be me (they were actually throwing them at the street light    ) when I picked up a stone throwing an overhand smoker... I can still see it in cinematic tunnel vision travel towards its target with a slight draw hitting him square in his ear at 50'...blood immediately started gushing from his head as he went down... I ran home like the little bitch I was and hid...needless to say, I was fingered the next day by the kid as the principal took him from room to room...got my *** chewed good by teach...lesson learned and I was just glad my parents never heard about it....

I'm sure an anonymous complaint would squelch that bs...
