Get better blinds? Perhaps blackout shades, blackout curtains? It's not this guys fault that you have improper window dressings for blocking out light. The traffic might get a bit annoying, other than that people need to suck it up. There are ways to approach the situation without being an asshole, and by this guys response, it doesn't appear that one of those was taken. |

I don't do Christmas lights. Although once, in my wayward young teenage years, I was filled with the spirit and decided "This Christmas thing is actually kinda cool!" and so right before the annual big unveiling of the Nativity on the town common, I snuck in there under the tarp, grabbed the plaster Baby Jesus, and took him out drinking. Then Baby Jesus told me he was having too much fun and didn't want to go back, so He and I came up with a plan to leave ransom notes for the city complete with polaroids of Baby Jesus at all kinds of different local landmarks. At least, I think Baby Jesus had something to do with coming up with the idea, but as I said, there was drinking involved so I may be mistaken on that. Well, as you can imagine, there was a tad bit of an uproar when they unveiled and where the Baby Jesus used to lie was a note saying basically "If you wanna see The Baby Jesus alive again..." and a shit load of insane demands. So, there's me and Baby Jesus on the run from the long arm of the law... He eventually fell out of the back of a pick-up truck on the interstate across the river in Vermont at about 90MPH...never saw Him again. Hope He got away. |

the best was the guy who always had a huge display (like mansion neighborhood, Monte Sereno, CA I believe). So big and generated so much traffic, that police would come help around Christmas with the cars. Neighbors complained so much that he offered to give a large donation in each of their names to a charity of their choice - for the inconvenience. After more harassment from a neighbor, he constructed a giant Grinch, pointing at their home... and I believe with red, light-up eyes and steam out of the ears. Eccentric, awesome millionaires
