What the F*** is wrong with people (RANT)

Recommended Posts

As I was leaving work yesterday, my daughter calls me to tell me that their are two large holes in my chainlink fence at home. My daughter (God bless her little drama queen heart) often over-exagerrates things, so I wasn't immediatly concerned. However, when I get home, I see that it is as bad as she was saying. The west side of my pasture is on a sharp S curve. People fly up and down my road and this is maybe a 5-10mph curve MAX. Well, yesterday sometime (while I was at work) someone missed the curve and drove thru my fence. Here's the kicker... instead of driving either thru my gate or back out the hole they just made, they just turned and went thru the fence in another place. I called the sheriff last night and made a report. My landlord is coming out Saturday to fix it. Im so thankful that my horses were in the back pasture yesterday. Some people....I SWEAR!!!!>:(>:(

To answer your question, in general people like that are stupid and self centered. If you live in a small town that car should be easy to find.



Problem being, I live in a small backwoods country town, almost all of the vehicles around here have some sort of damage. I will be looking this weekend tho.... unfortunantely...I wont have time until then. I took a bunch of pictures with my camera phone... I seriously doubt I will ever find the person who did this. According to my landlord, it has happened 4-5 times over the past 10 years. Maybe concrete posts would help.... :|

I was fish tailing my car back in the day during a snow storm and slid off the road and hit a little split rail fence.

I came back the next day to tell the owner that i would fix it. He about fainted in disbelief. He knew my mom:o and told me to tell her i was raised right.:D:)

It took ten minutes and about $10 to fix it. I didn't want a guy mad at the world because i was having a little fun and screwed up. He was cool.

edit to add: Moral of story: Front wheel drive cars do not fish-tail like rear wheel drive trucks.B|

because YOU were cool!B|

reminds me of fixing a couple of speakers at the drive in when I was in high school. :)

and for the kids out there...drive ins were cool...you could sit in your car at the movies!:P



Drive-ins are still cool... we have one here "The Silvermoon" carload for $3.00 (where can u find that anymore?) And they are always showing the latest movies that are in the big theatres. Its the only way I can afford to take my kids to the movies!!!!

steel posts filled with concrete ;)

on the positive side, you're renting so you don't have to pay for the damage! :)imagine how your landlord feels...:(



All she need is steel I beam driven into the ground.

If the beam is around 17lbs per foot she can drive them 10 feet onto the ground, and leave 5' exposed.

Then just park a backhoe nearby to bury the carnage.;)

That's a lot of work. Easy solution - bring in some big 4 foot diameter boulders and lay them along the fence around that sharp curve. Guaranteed to fuck up a car bad enough they can't drive away. There was a house in my neighborhood when I was growing up. It was at the corner of a "T" intersection, and the people there were having problems with assholes taking shortcuts across the corner of their yard. They got the boulders all the way along the road front edge of their property. Problem solved.

I don't know about your super powers, but I can move steel beams much easier than 4 foot diameter boulders...:D



You just need a dump truck and a caterpiller

One of my ex GF's used to have a XXX rated drive in adjacent to her property, all her GF's used to come over to her house and watch the movies from a blanket in the pasture behind their house.

Boy were those girls fun, I guess watching XXX films for ten years and practicing on each other paid off:)

Billy, the Beams get driven in by the Backhoe, easy work;)

15 foot leftover beams can be had from steel suppliers for very cheap.

Space them 15" apart and use another 15' beam to become the horizontal top post, that way you have an ecellent way of keeping the horses in, you can attach the fencing to the posts however you like.
