I’ll Take Really Dumb on a Platter for $200, Alex

Posted By on January 29, 2007

(tell me that isn’t original, Avi.)

Ahhh, the saga of the Future Darwin Award Winners continues. AKA, the Cul-de-Sac Clique has a problem.

Yep, the Stepford like clique that resides in the cul-de-sac seems to have a deformity. The house in the center of the cul-de-sac (I hope I don’t have to write that AGAIN in this post) is occupied by people who:

A. Have very little to no control over their teenagers

B. Are incredibly immature

C. Are never home on the weekends and leave afore mentioned teenagers home alone

Take your pick the end result is all the same. At least twice a month they throw a raging party. Now, if they kept the party INSIDE their house or at the very least IN the backyard ONLY, I would NOT be writing this now. Unfortunately, they party in the front yard, around the cul-de-sac (dammit) up and down our street, yadda, yadda, yadda. The next morning beer cans are littering the gutters and yards (yes, other people’s YARDS). It’s ridiculous!

Last weekend we came home from dinner and the street was lined with cars, the cul-de-sac (sonofabitch) was practically filled with cars, and there were teenagers everywhere. I hate teenagers. Hate.

We had to wait for one of them to drive off from where they were BLOCKING our drive way. Then as we started to pull into our driveway another set of them in a car drove right up on our ass (practically UP our freaking tail pipe).

I went in and called the police. Oddly enough, within 10 minutes of calling all of the cars (there were at least 50 of them, no exaggeration) were gone in a freakish sort of mass exodus. Mike is convinced they have a police scanner. The typical mess was left behind when the police arrived so at least there was proof that something had gone on.

I park my car IN MY DRIVEWAY, I DECORATE for holidays… therefore I like to avoid vandalism and acts of retaliation by disgruntled neighbor hoodlum people. So like ANY normal person, I called the cops and went up to Ethan’s bedroom to snoop through the blinds. DUH!!!

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who had called the cops because when the cops showed up to “investigate” the Future Darwin Award Nominees ran out to GREET them. They apparently even invited them in for coffee or something all “It’s 1957 and Daddy Knows Best is on!!!”

That’s right… let the partying neighbors with hoodlum looking teenagers skulking around at all hours SEE which NEIGHBOR it was who squealed like a stool pidgeon with a hot poker up its’ ass.

Fine by me… because they’ll never suspect the quiet family who blares really loud rock music out of their garage until VERY late on the weekends, will they?

    I would get together with the rest of the cul-de-sac(Why does this cause me to twitch??)peeps and find a friendly toe truck operator to swing by on party weekends. You’d be amazed at how quickly these guys can rid the “sac” of unwanted hoodlum vehciles.

    A littel cash up front keep the Tommy the Toe Truck Operator quiet……

    Can’t you bring it up at a Home Owner’s Association meeting?

    Or, you should just dress in your skankiest outfit and go hang out with them.

    I’m picturing you skulking about the cul-de-sac (damn that IS a bitch to type!) in a black ninja outfit with the Mission:Impossible theme playing in the background. Somehow all their tires end up flattened. Investigators later find Amy innocently sipping coffee in her kitchen, wearing a frilly Donna Reed apron, which hides the icepick in her pocket.
    Bwa-ha-ha!

    Those neighbors are all kinds of dumb.

    OMG, I honestly thought on 1 and 2 that you were going to be talking about YOU guys!!

    ROTFLMAO at myself :-D

  6. Oh I feel your pain – before we moved, our neighbors use to do that almost every weekend, including parking in front of our house, and blocking our drive. It use to piss the hubs off to no end. It would be one thing if they played good music, and had good beer, but no! They blared the hispanic polka music and threw cheep ass beer cans into our yard. Ugh.

    This is the only time I can honestly say that the HOA is your best friend! Take video of this shit and mail it to the Review Board and the cops as well! Get the bastards fined! And for the love of god have everyone who parks in your driveway towed at their own expense!! Yes! Fuck ‘em all!

    I like Wicked H’s idea. Thank goodness that you have neighbors like the Future Darwin Award Nominees to keep the heat off of you!
