May. 25th, 2008 11:04 pmThese neighbor kids (I think there are two of them, but idk--it might only be one, as they're always out there with a lot of friends--early 20s ish, I think; older than I am, but not hugely so) next to me (whose carport where they hang out backs right up to my bedroom window)? I really want to know what drugs they're doing. Seriously. They're crazy as all getout.
Take this evening, for instance. It's raining. Storming. Like crazy. As in, I was driving home when it got really bad and if I hadn't already been in my neighborhood, I would have pulled over, because visibility was zero. Tons of lightening, tons (though not as much, seemingly) of thunder, the whole bit.
They're out there, standing in the carport like they always are (I think our elderly neighbor--their grandmother, whom they recently moved in with for whatever reason--won't let them bring their friends inside or something. Go her.) with a car just idling there in the driveway. Even beyond the whole "OMG, environment!" thing: umm, have you seen the price of gas, sirs? You are off your collective rocker. And not just for a second, like somebody just got in or got out. I waited in the car in front of my house for a good 2 minutes, minimum (ignition off, kthx) for the rain to slow down enough for me to get out to make the dash up to my house (I did have an umbrella, but I was also trying to balance my purse + chinese food + shopping bags from both the grocery store and Wal-Mart, so that wasn't happening when the rain was at peak velocity), and it just sat there running while they stood around doing really stupid/what-drugs-are-you-doing thing #2:
Hosing off the driveway/carport. IN THE RAIN. They do this a lot (though not usually in the rain), idk why--isn't a carport/driveway type area sort of accepted as not really clean floored? It's cement outside, for crying out loud. But this was nuts. The guy (one of the grandkids) was under the covering of the carport, but he was pointing the hose so the water sprayed right at the border of carport/driveway. Where the rain pretty much had him covered. And then he moved the hose a bit (remember, I was sitting there for a while--this was a lot of hose-holding pointed at one place--even if it had been dirty and not raining, you'd think he'd have shifted the water spray around more) so the water hit farther out and under the car a little bit (though not much; I mean, full grown man holding a hose at waist level--how much more water's going to get under the car than is already getting there by the rain?). How about you just move your car, since you've already got it running, and save the water?
And they come in/out at all hours of the night and stand there in the carport and talk loudly and it really ticks me off when they do it around 3am. That's my story.
