Facebook neighborhood groups are the worst thing ever

10 year olds... don’t react to small stuff? some wires crossed here

I mean, I watched all 86 seconds of it, but that doesn't mean you have to.

I did and I don't know why

*Man rings doorbell*

*Man waits*

*Man walks away*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

Melody: Maybe I misread, but the way he kept looking around behind him looked like he was trying to assess if anyone could see him.

Those teens are out of control . The police need to do something or we need to stay at home until those teen are out of the street . Very danger . I just moved to Baltimore from Florida , and I didn’t expect to see this here . The city is beautiful and people very friendly. I’m in love with the city but getting very scared

very danger
much teens

But I dunno, sometimes they aren't so bad.

the comments on a nextdoor post explaining parking and street restrictions over the weekend when “the president” is visiting are something

how about a thread with several pictures trying to figure out what to do about a fence that is too close to the sidewalk. then the fence's owner shows up and says they installed it after researching the code, etc. then the passive-aggressive person who posted it says "i feel scolded!" as if they didn't post it to scold an anonymous person. then the discussion continues for many more comments than the last racism post got.

How close to the sidewalk was the racism post?

What happened on January 31st?

I don't know where Mike lives, but

2020 – The United Kingdom's membership of the European Union will cease in accordance with Article 50 after 47 years of being a member state.

That is correct. The UK leaves the EU at 11pm UK time on Friday Jan 31.

lol. anytime there's fireworks, cue the people complaining how rude it is to their pets

Oh fuck yes, get a thundershirt for your furbaby and STFU.

nextdoor!!!
Observed on Bay Place, a shoplifter confronted by a Whole Foods employee, who then smashed his beverage containers upon the sidewalk. I followed him across the street and captured his visage for posterity.

I found an even dumber sort of group: I got invited to a catch-all group for graduates of my high school (which I obviously did not join)

There is a discussion thread where people are debating what year had the largest graduating class. 1976? No, 1980 was surely larger. Some people are sure they know the exact number in their class, and remember their class rank (?!)

I have no idea why anyone would know or care, is where I am at

this is a question that can probably be solved with a 30-second phone call to the school's admin department, and can absolutely never be answered by simply guessing on facebook

great work

I don’t think mundane discussions are about ephemera as much as they’re about people looking for a reason to have mundane discussions

I should start one asking if the school had an official mascot, and if so, when

In case you were stocking a Shirley temple.

transportation department posted a survey about dockless scooters, pearl clutchers and pedestrian haters have everything to say that's bad about things that move but aren't cars

I think you've got a good point and I hope no one is hurt. The Bible
definitely forbids leaving them in front of people who cannot see and it's
not safe. I just enjoy them People definitely are obligated to leave them
in safe places.

let he who is without car place the scooter in a safe place away from people who cannot see

Genesis 46:29

That joke's a lot funnier if you read the King James version, and not the new wave ones that show up first on Google.

i know who this lady is because she used to go to my gym (and complain about the music) and i always love her nextdoor posts because they are just quintessential old rich white woman

Teens clustering together at Gilman despite social distancing warnings re covid19!
Parents, if you have teenaged children who are doing track runs at Gilman these days, please be sure they do not cluster together. The ones we have seen are running shoulder to shoulder and standing in close together groups. This is not good. Even though they’re young they need to practice social distancing now.

quintessential old rich white woman otm

i need to find the one where she complains about kids leaving school and going to starbucks because "starbucks is not a babysitter," maybe that's a better example

omg this woman has a twin who lives in a neighborhood adjacent to mine (a richer one)

Sorry to put this out there but I contine to see small groups of Piedmont kids walking by the house during day or gathering at night. I'm not sure if parents don't know this or don't care or what but please read the article below (hopefully link worked). Just saw a group of four, maybe 8th grade, girls walking with their arms around each other :-o

oh and the post title was the classically pass-agg

Shelter in Place applies to all of us!

Top Post on Nextdoor! Litter in the Streets

A Bug Between the Sheets!

the woman i posted about above is still going on with her pass-agg posts about social distancing. now has posted anecdotes followed by "I don't understand. I thought this was an upscale, intelligent community!" on at least three different threads. also has canceled her subscription to the local paper because someone got an op-ed published about racism in her neighborhood. i love her.

I love her too!

If you're in the 300s on Warwick and are making your own personal soundtrack to an adult film, please remember you're living in close proximity to many other people. It's getting really monotonous & you sound like a crying baby.

tip sambos... the one remaining restaurant in the chain will reopen "under a new, undetermined name"

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/06/us/restaurant-name-trnd/index.html

lol **rip

wow, I didn't know that it was originally named after the owners! My mom worked for a sambos in the 1970s when I was a toddler

Never going to the restaurant started by Irv Dickson and Johnny Hedron either.

Irv Deathson and Johnny Hedrone.

people complaining about fireworks going off everywhere around 1 am. someone suggests it's not a good thing to call the cops about. best response, explaining things you could consider before calling 911:

When I was a kid, people were setting off fireworks on my lawn, it was dry. I thought the lawn would catch on fire and they didn't belong on my family's law. I banged on the window to get them to stop. My hand went through the pane. I severed my thumb and most of my forefinger, had to bring them in a cup to the ER to be reattached. 40 years later, I still don't have feeling in them. I was a professional violinist, too. So, it's important that people use their own judgment.

people are still upset about the potential displacement of Gerald the Rose Garden turkey ...

We ran off an Air BnBer! Never been so proud.

Gerald the Rose Garden turkey is top post two days running

Not a Facebook group, but I recently discovered a website that my county uses to address problems, called See Click Fix. I learned about it when I had to report a lost cat. Mostly it's public complaints about potholes and zoning issues and unkempt yards. But this morning I came across this gem, submitted around 1 a.m.

SomehSome of the hd channels of Verizon FiOS like fox news, fox business, OAN news have a lot of noise and intermittent sound while the CNN, and CNBC, have perfect HD video and sound. I called Verizon several times to no avail. Also I pay extra for a Greek news channel at 1789 which is completely on the blink for the past 3 months. Since the problem is on only a few HD channels like 616, 617, 618, 603, 611, and a few others, the problem is not in my coaxial cables which have been checked, but in the Verizon hub that generates and transmits the HD signal. This is going on for 3 months now and I am at a loss what to do since Verizon has been unresponsive. Can you please help?

I don't watch a lot of TV, especially not news, but I have FiOS and this problem is definitely not limited to Fox and OAN.

It is neighborhood group-related because you follow reports from your neighborhood.

i left my neighborhood Facebook related group because its members started getting hysterical about people leaving the house. like, "no one should leave the house ever if they can help it exercise and mental health and pets don't matter," while simultaneously deleting posts about the need for humans to spend time out-of-doors and admins arguing vociferously with anyone who raised concerns about such an outlook... it ended for me when i was called a "spoiled bitch" and "comrade" in the same post by someone whom *i know* when i gently suggested that people not use bellicose metaphors to speak about illness.

10% of my nextdoor is that--people panicking about the number of people outside, the other half is white women going PLEASE STOP THE FIREWORKS MY DOG HAS PTSD

yes, apparently there is only 10% plus one half
