I came home today to a notice taped to my outside wall with masking tape.  I live in a duplex across the street from a park.  The notice basically says I have overgrown plants & "rubbish" in my yard (I don't really have a yard, just a paved front area where I park).

My temptation right now is to wipe my ass with the thing, and tape it back on the wall, only with duct tape.  The put a little post-it note on it with an arrow pointing at the shit-stain saying "this is a shit-stain.  can you guess where your notice has been?  does shit count as rubbish?"

I know those bastards told us to remove our livingroom setup from the front yard this past summer. The nerve of those guys.

Put lights on your 'rubbish' and call it your religous decorations.

Trim the bushes into a fist giving the finger...but make sure they are neat and trim.

Edited to add: Buy a timex and 2 guns.

Fire Marshal came by my house one time and complained about a large brush pile I had in the front yard.  He was saying it was a fire hazard.  I had not burned it because we were under a burn ban.  Guess what.  Lightning struck that pile of brush that weekend.  Caught on fire and burned completely up.  Weird it was.  Not a cloud in the sky.  I guess the fire marshall was right.[}:D]

Maybe they just don't understand your version of yard art. Tell them it's you first ammendment right to express yourself.

Ps, your in the construction bidniss and are just figuring out that city inspectors are dicks? I doubt it. I'll bet you could write a book on their bullshit!

don't let the outside fool you, I'm still a dirtbag!

And yes, the city has inspectors.  I don't mind really in most cases, as they do keep things neat.  They stickered my other neighbor's junk car that's been darkening their lawn for about 6 months.  Found out from the guy's wife it hasn't run in 3 years, but it's been dragged from house to house with them.

I'm toying with the idea of buying again, just in a shittier part of town, lol.  More my element.

I used to do that for a living. We never went looking it was always someone next door that called and complained when  we were sent. They sent me to one guys house once cause his grass was too high. He was cleaning out his family wagon when I handed him the letter. He said I got something for you and started reaching in the car. I figured my ass was shot but he only came out with a letter from a judge saying he could grow his grass tall enough to let it seed. I had fun taking that back to the boss and telling him to handle it.
I used to see all kinds of things when I was doing code enforcement. I,m not sure which was worse. The yard I stepped in the maggot filled dead cat in. No it was the house the people did not have water and had filled the john and started using the tub to crap in. It was only half full. My favorite was the house that when we walked through the hall it squished under your feet from where the dogs had been pissing on the floor.

Actually, around here they literally do cruise the streets looking.  They've been known to put a rock or a cigarette butt under your car tire or on top of it to see if the car has moved.
I just noticed tonight there's a phone number on the report, I'll have to call this dimwit and take time out of my day to explain things to them.  If I have to meet them at my house and take time off work for this I'm sending them a bill for my time.  I wonder who makes more, the inspector or me.

No, you are ALL wrong.  norman74 got cited because he is evil, as evidenced by the fact that he drives a pickup/SUV.  But right this second, you can't give out citations for that.  So throw a bag of chips in his yard and cite him for trash.

I know, 'cause I'm evil too.

Judging by the size of your neighbors matched pair of pick-up trucks I suspect the inspectors didn’t have the heart to harass them and went for you instead.  Poor midgets.

I find this whole thread beyond belief.

You say you have a job, yet you live in a double wide that has been made into a 2-family trailer?

Your so poor you don't even have dirt, yet you wanted advice on what $1K watch to buy?

This whole thread is an internet hoax, you've stretched your credibility past the point of no return.

NO! NO! NO!

If this were Little Havana, there would be a three-foot-tall statue of (or shrine to) the Virgin Mary or Santa Theresa in the front yard (both sides).

Also, they would have posted the note in Spanish!

Yeah!  What's with the $1K watch?

For a thousand dollars I'd rent a pair of Shetland ponies for my neighbors to ride around.

(and of course it goes without saying that with what's left over - I'd buy a couple cases of Meister Brau and spend my evenings chucking my empties at said midget neighbors)

And those that were curious about the trucks, those things are bad-ass!  He builds these RC trucks from scratch with handmade frames, full suspension (the rear works like a quad suspension) brakes, headlights, etc.  6HP go-cart motors in those mofos too!  You can stand on one and ride it down the street.

Both of you, stay where you are.  Florida is a horrible hell hole.  If the alligators don't get you, the mosquitos will.  There's nothing but thousands of illegals that can't speak english, and thousands of old people that can't hear.  Traffic sucks, cost of living is super high, there's nothing but swampland here, and yes, where I live is considered a mansion, and you'll be lucky to find as nice a place.

I'd love to go shootin' but with a baby around the house my wife won't let me out much (I even missed Harrisburg this weekend).

I do intend to get out of this anti-gun hell-hole soon, and hopefully I'll live within 5 minutes of a range (or even have one on my own property).
