CrazyJohn on Parking near Elementary Schools-
So there is an elementary school not too far from my apartment. And, since this is the city, there is no actual playground upon which for them to play, so the childrens play on the street. Don't worry those who might worry... it is a side-street that dead-ends so the school can barricade the street when the kiddies are playing. But, as this IS the city and parking is at a premium, people still park down that street.
Herein lies the rant, kiddies. Every day the kids play outside in the street. Every day they set off a car alarm while playing in the street. Every day whoever parks there has to turn off their alarm as slowly as they possibly can. Now, think about this... kids play, alarm goes off, you have to come outside to turn off your f--king irritating alarm, you go back in, kids play more, and so on. You would think, being the smart blogreader you are, that you should cut out the middle man and just not turn on your alarm when you're parked in a place where kids are going to be bouncing soccer balls off your hood. Or you could just be a super huge bastard, turn your alarm on and have it go off EVERY DAY during the afternoon. I think that's what we'll do... thanks! That makes me feel better.
