[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My top two:

-Every noise outside is a “gun shot”

-Why are there so many sirens?[/quote]

In my neighborhood, every noise IS a gunshot.  Downtown DC, NOMA, Bloomingdale, etc.  Pictures of broken car windows.  Package thieves caught on camera.

Missing dogs and cats.  Lots of cats in general; does this cat belong to anyone?

I don’t mind actually.  It’s more useful in someways than DCUM.  I especially like the recommendations for tradespeople and notices from locally owned restaurants.

Same. Our is mostly useful but there is a contingent of people being moderately alarmed about normal wildlife. "Omg, saw a deer grazing at dusk in so-and-so park. Wanted to alert neighbors as this could be VERY dangerous to drivers in the area!!!"   "Saw a hawk flying by earlier today. Keep your small dogs/pets inside people."  Posts picture of tiny garter snake, "Need recommendations for an exterminator A.S.A.P.!"

Also there's been an uptick in people treating it like their own personal Facebook page. "Just want to shout out my son. 3.4 GPA this semester #praiseGod #honorroll #mybabyboy"   and weird inspirational quotes, etc. [/quote]
