Fart Can Wake Up Call-haven't had a good nights sleep in months...

A kid down the street has a Dodge Challenger. He "improved" it by replacing the mufflers with Borla-style fart cans. He might as well have painted a sign on it that says SIX CYLINDER.

 

I have a freaking funny story about getting woken by a fart but my wife says if I ever tell it I will become a bad smell in the crawl space..

 

Call the newspaper.

 

Surely you have some form of government running the place? Call your council member or magistrate or whatever the big boobahs call themselves in your neck of the woods. Post that video to any public site you can for your area.

 

Can anyone please help me understand how anyone gets to a point they believe no one else matters? There are things that annoy them; how can they not think something they are doing will not annoy someone else.

We have all private dirt roads here and there are those who believe they have the right to use them for their dirt bikes, ATV's, side by side all terrain vehicles and 4x4 mud trucks with straight pipes 24/7/365.
When you try to talk to them all you get is "FU, I can do what I want"! Sheriffs won't even respond anymore they've been called so many times by so many people here. But if I took matters into my own hands sheriff would respond and take me to jail.

If it is your road and it is private, you should be able to bar it with a gate and key, complete with "No Trespassing" signs. It won't make it any more convenient for you but it sure will get the word out and result in a) your property damaged, which is a crime or b) their property damaged, which is just a bonus.

My twisted sense of humor would also mount an used target with plenty of inner ring holes on said gate. A sign would also read "If you can read this, my scope is sighted for this range."

 

Just follow him around from a safe distance and toss all his newspapers in other people's yards for a few nights
Should fix itself

 

Actually, it does work that way up here. The cops get called to break up loud parties all the time and they enjoy it because they can go and bust a few heads if things get stupid. They pull over motorcycles and loud teenagers constantly and charge them with a dizzying array of offenses until they get the message and fly straight.

And yes, while it is tough to get a license it is legal to own a gun up here, it's usually only a rifle, not a handgun. So accuracy and hitting power are better. So if the cops don't show up to a noise complaint someone with a rifle invariably will. There once was an incident in my neighborhood where a constantly barking dog ended up getting shot when he started barking at 4:30 in the morning. The cops were there a few hours later. The owner had been politely warned numerous times but had refused to do anything. It took about 3 months before the dog got it. No one ever found out who did it, nobody heard a thing except that one "crack".

And you can be rest assured, a car like that would end up in the sights of a shotgun and absolutely peppered to the point of being undriveable. This would serve as a polite warning to that individual that his taste in automobiles leaves something to be desired and that perhaps he should reconsider the wisdom of his choices.

Canadian politeness only goes so far.

 

In fairness, the first thing that most Harley-Davidson owners do is to replace the quiet factory exhaust system with straight pipes. Those of us who have the strange habit of trying to sleep at night have to listen to them at 2 AM. Why don't the police enforce the laws about noise? And please don't give me the crap about the noise saving lives because you can hear them coming. If that were true, the exhaust outlets would face forward.

 

John, that's because most of the cops also own Harleys that are just as loud.

 

Because the sound of a Harley is music compared to the VERY offensive sound of fart can exhaust!

 

It is not just Harley owners. Around here the Japanese cruisers are usually just as loud or louder. I think the owners think if they make them as loud as they can, people will think they are riding Harleys. But they still don't sound the same...

 

I hate that sound too, can you just buy the neighbors a newspaper everyday and then he wont have a reason to come by????

 

I hadn't thought of that. Probably true.

 

I thought the loudness of one's vehicle (motorbike) was directly proportional to one's lack of manhood...they have to make up for their inadequacies somehow.

 

X2! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

 

For sure this is an annoying situation.
I saw a guy the other day that put fart can exhaust on his new ferrari. It was utterly ridiculous.

 

Two dozen plus calls to Sheriffs Department over the last three years along with e-mails and calls to County Commissioners & County Code Enforcement have proved futile. No one will get involved and enforce the statutes. Actually I found I can purchase those 8000# cement barriers "used" they use on interstates for $200 each. The company will deliver and set up for a fee. Problem solved as the easement does not lead to my house but runs parallel to my property.

"A sign would also read "If you can read this, my scope is sighted for this range."

I love that Ha, ha, ha...

Find out where the kid lives, he has to sleep some time. Then go to his place and make a big frikkin racket a few times, disturb his sleep, he will get the message.

I used to have trouble getting trash picked up at my (old) new home, I was an outsider apparently. I made several calls to the public works dept. and the mayor, nothing got done. After a few weeks I got pissed off, loaded the trash in my van and dropped it on the front steps of city hall. Never had a trash problem after that.

What goes around comes around.

Or maybe walk through your neighborhood with a bull horn at 3:30 am and call your neighbors to action, see who gets out of bed...
