that's not how vultures work...

*Barbie* · March 2017

Another helpful post from NextDoor:

"While driving by Tysor Ln and Baber Dr, we saw 2 vultures on the sidewalk where trash are left out.
Do not leave your small pets outside by themselves.

Just FYI"

Here is my Nextdoor bird post of the day:

"Great Day for Hawk and Eagle Watching
There are few things more beautiful and graceful than the soaring and gliding of the hawks and eagles on a windy day. Gliding this way and that, riding on the wind, freedom and joy personified."

Thanks?

*they* would be more likely to eat your pet

I just...don't understand why people post on NextDoor about birds. At least my guy understands how birds work. Yours is still working on it.

Lol Barbie sounds like it's time for your neighbors to take an elementary science class.

I've blocked so many people on next door that i'm wondering why i haven't just deleted the account. From what I can tell, there's a lot of idiots in my neighborhood/surrounding communities.

I just had to google Next Door as I thought everyone was just saying "next door". *smh*

Ridic NextDoor post of the day:

"The other day, I witnessed the mail delivery truck lurching from one box to the next. Basically, speeding and jamming on the brakes in between mailboxes. I was particularly irritated by this due to the fact my mailbox has sustained damage recently that was costly to repair. It is unknown who caused this damage. However, it was around the time of mail delivery.

Next time, I need to make notes on the time of day and the date. I would hope a call to my Postmaster would remedy the issue."

To be fair, my parents mailman has run over their mailbox twice and knocked it over, destroying it. The last time it happened my mom actually saw him hit it and then get out of his truck to prop up the mailbox. She tried to record it on her phone but she's not super tech savvy and ended up just recording her own face. And then the post office denied it and refused to fix it. A new mailbox cost $300 between getting the same secure type and repouring it into a concrete base.

@levioosa - That would piss me off too. But this guy just basically did a diary entry where he just talks about what irritated him that day with no clear reason why he posted. Maybe he wanted other people to sympathize if their mail person sucks?

thefanciestbeckler · March 2017

There was a similar post on my NextDoor this week too @Ro041. A guy randomly got on there and complained that the trash pickup company had left trash cans in the road instead of on the sidewalk. Like, I don't know, maybe call the trash company instead of complaining on NextDoor?

I'm jealous, y'all. There is fuckall going on in our Nextdoor now that The Great Beaver Caper has ended. There is one woman who keeps posting screenshots of FB posts. They're from some local group, the usual boring "These people claimed to be landscapers, but I'm not so sure. Be on the lookout!" If only the internet had invented a way to share information from one website on a different website. Oh well, maybe someday...

As far as I'm aware, Canada doesn't have "Next Door" but there was a fb group I was on about the town I use to live. I left when we moved, but the most exciting thing that happened actually caused me to leave the group for a bit.

There was a political thing - serious terms here - and people were making photoshopped pictures of one guy and turned him into a pig {literally}

This group was all adults! I couldn't believe it! I actually left until after the vote - which I was NOT thrilled about the outcome of separate reasons.

My new favorites:
1) I saw a BMW M5 speeding down my street. Please keep an eye out. He was going dangerously fast!!

2) Locals have reported a lot of recent burglaries. The recent description given has been of a white male in his mid to late 20s driving a Honda sedan. Really? A white guy in suburban CT driving a Honda? Should I listen for the Dave Matthews playing too??

Obviously. Then you'll know it's him coming

My NextDoor sucks. It's all business referrals.

Now the FB group for the city next door, that's something else. I've never seen so many who need to use their words. There is a person over there who is beefing with the people across the street and they post pictures all the time of the neighbor taking pictures of them.

I am starting to wonder if there is really a beef or if its just two neighbors taking pictures of each other taking pictures of each other and no one knows who started it. I'd leave the group but I want to see how it ends.

I am not sure whether I am blessed or cursed that my nextdoor is so super quiet. Even our community facebook page is rather tame with only the occasional passive aggressive cleanup your dogs shit from the sidewalk comment.

There's a pot belly pig that got out around here and is on the loose. So there's that.

See THIS is the type of funny stuff that makes me wish my neighborhood were on Next Door. I don't want to be the first one to sign up though...(and that's probably why my neighborhood doesn't have one - everyone else probably thinks the same way I do)

*Barbie* · March 2017

i quit NextDoor in epic fashion - i'm just wishing I had C&P my rant here before i lost it.

when you deactivate your account it asks you why, and then shares your feedback with the neighborhood leads. my rant was something along the lines of how the posts on NextDoor made me realize how racist and stupid people in my neighborhood were and how i felt like i got stupider every time i read one of the posts. it's just a bunch of ads for pyramid schemes, racists posts about "suspicious people" and irresponsible pet owners - oh and stupid "urgent alerts" about random nonsense and moronic posts about people who don't understand how birds work (I think the vulture thing put me over the edge.)

honestly, I think they should know regardless why. Especially in your case, makes people re-eval their posts maybe?

Where we used to live, our next door neighbor had a g/f with a pot belly pig. Until it got too big to put in the car, she used to bring it over all the time. So cute!!!!

But, multiple times a day, they would let the pig out to go potty. Except then it didn't want to go back inside. So they had to pick it up and carry it inside.

Piggy did NOT like to be picked up and would scream bloody murder. The first time I heard it, I was freaked out and alarmed. It sounded like a child screaming because it was being brutally tortured.

I expressed my concern to my H and that we needed to go see if a child was in trouble. My H, who grew up in a rural area, laughed his a** off at me and reassured me it was just the pig, lol. I wasn't totally convinced and went outside to make sure. Yep. I couldn't believe the volume of noise coming out of that little thing! Little at the time, anyway.

A couple days ago, a massotherapist posted that she was looking for clients on our NextDoor. I hope it's working out for her and she's not getting flooded with messages from skeevy guys wanting "happy endings."
