No. I'm rich because I can afford to have white dudes cut the lawn.

Have fun getting sweaty with your pride mowing, I'll be at the spa.


White guys don't cut lawns because they speak English.

One around here plays Christmas music year round. I'm Jewish and I don't get this bent out of shape.

AU Park resident here. That is hardly low end. The same blaring ice cream truck follows me to my kid's ES after school, to my other kid's MS after school, to our soccer games in the pouring rain on weekend at the Palisades and to the front of my house in AU Park during the middle of dinner time (6:00PM). It is Good Humor HARASSMENT. It is the same driver at all of these places. The guy is like THE HOUND OF THE GOOD HUMOUR TRUCK. So sick of it. The "Turkey in the Straw" at 100 db 3-4 times a day is too mucking fuch.


HA! That made me laugh out loud. Good one.
Wait, you weren't kidding, were you?

Is it really that loud, even with your windows closed?Ice cream trucks just aren't that loud--how far back from the street are you?

I can pick up sticks, mow the lawn AND trim AND pull weeds in less than 90 minutes.

go and mow his grass for him
explain that you want a workout and can no longer afford the gym

maybe you will get free beer

I'm surprised at the almost unanimous reaction. I think this is a perfectly fine vent. If you have an infant that doesn't sleep much then afternoon nap is a pretty key part of both your days and it used to make me crazy if some Jehovah's witness would ring the doorbell right after the kid fell asleep.

It's just a vent, for goodness sakes.
