    Well I would hope so! I'd hope anybody would get mad at that.
    I saw some asshole throw their mcdonalds garbage out the window on the ground sitting in the parking lot. So I went and grabbed it handed it back to them through the window. Shit like that pisses me off. I can't stand disrespectful people.

    And the new "piss me off"
    Our homeowners insurance will cover it, well, part of it.
    But then there is the risk of our policy going up after this.
    wtf! Why do we pay insurance. For when our house gets hit by a meteor?

    Smaller things really aren't worth claiming on it. Years ago I had an expensive bike stolen and would have been lucky to get $100 after all was said and done.

    Really pisses me off. All the $$ we pay to have it and it does us no good.
    Sorry to hear that your bike was stolen. :(
    My bikes are in the garage under lock and key.

    Sucks to hear that, and I agree with you on feeling more cynical towards people as we get older. I certainly do, and I'm trying not to - but damn it's hard!

    Sounds like a great reason to install some cams.

    I would be very tempted to put up some hidden cams, leave some more bait on the porch, and then have said perpetrator incarcerated.

    Would love to hear about it if you did.

    Yes. That is it exactly.
    My wife and I deliberated about it so much because of the cost. We justified it by saying that we don't live in the house much at all - no cable, 19" TV (tube style hahaha), etc.
    I have used that thing all year, from biking, skiing, hiking. My son and I loved it.
    So yeah, it was expensive but an expense that we felt comfortable with after much thinking. We were hoping to pass it along to a family member that may have a kid.
    Oh well.....
    People suck.
    :(

    I have a new one to add to the list.
    So where I live, we do not have a garage. We have to park in the driveway.
    Well.....I have been noticing that the nice dog owners in the neighborhood seem to think it is alright to let their dogs piss on my tires.
    Am I just getting old and crotchity or are people getting worse?
    WTF!

    most of the individuals you describe here as tweekers and such are most likely of the Liberal persuasion. You should never expect much better from them, you will be paying for them their entire lives

    Fucking assholes! Found a nice door ding and a scratch in my passenger side door. :mad:
    If people don't give a shit about their car stay the fuck away from mine.
    Had to have been someone at my work, as that is the only place that I have gone recently.

    (Oh, by the way. I did find the stroller that was taken off my front porch two months after.)
