- Vivint door to door guys have descended on my neighbor like locusts, if the locusts were all ne'er-do-wells who park on the wrong side of the street in 2011 Malibus missing at least one hubcap and creep around houses like Dennis Rader. These MFs go to houses, knock, and when the inhabitants don't answer, leave...only to come back hours later. One of them knocked on my door (which we ignored, while watching him on the cameras) and watched him walk across the street and SIT ON A BENCH for an hour waiting for signs of life in this block of houses. These ******** have now used my doorbell, which is part of a Blink system, six times in a week. We answered once and told the guy we weren't interested, but another one showed up a couple days later. What's the play here?
a) janky cardboard "no soliciting" sign in the yard
b) racking a shotgun as I approach the front door, which is mostly glass
c) bitching about it on NextDoor/Henbook
d) continuing to hide in my house as if I'm not here every time they visit
e) all the above
- We're also getting handwritten letters from JWs. And we got a visit from the Mormons. I don't know what happened in the last four months to prompt all these folks to return to their door-to-door efforts but I hate it.
- NextDoor is mostly garbage, but I enjoy when the comments absolutely jump off. There's one absolutely on fire right now recapping someone's review of their meal at IHOP. They had many complaints, but chiefly, they ordered steak (not steak and eggs, just steak), medium rare.
They ordered medium rare steak...at the International House of Pancakes. In the year of our lord 2023.
- The kid who hit the Hammer likely wished for the sweet release of death, but it's the Hammer's underinsured carriers who really wish he would STFU. The guy's attempts to get coverage under multiple policies are impressive. Insane and possibly frivolous, but impressive.
