Supermom: Although I like to think that all 63,000 Folsomites (including the 7,000 at the prison) are my neighbors, if you actually read my posts you would see that this was not a neighbor. It was a complete stranger who lived several blocks from my home. So, this is not about how people settle differences with their neighbors.Really Rsliger? A negative for daring to suggest communicating with your neighbors before petty calls to the pd?
Ha ha ha ha!!! That was a finger slippage, right?
LOL I gotta remember that the next time someone asks about how to handle their neighbors. You guys are cracking me up. He just admitted he didnt talk to the neighbor first.
Just called and insisted on the neighbor being ticketed.
Lemme do that the next time I see a cyclist on a sidewalk. (joking)
Seriously, aren't most of you who are making comments or positive posting this guys the same ones' who always criticize other people for not trying to be better neighbors about noise and dogs and kids? Yet the sidewalk becomes an instant reason to call a copper?
interesting set of priorities. Only be nice if it can be identified as a complaint you made vs. a random traffic officer in the residential area?
Wow.
Let's try a parallel scenario without the baggage associated with sidewalks (because, clearly, by your post, you seem to think that the sidewalk in front of your home belongs to you and is there for you to use as you please). Say you were driving down North Lexington Dr. at 1am (you live north of the river) and you found a car parked squarely in the traffic lane (alongside another car parked in the parking lane). Would you a) drive slowly around the vehicle thinking to yourself, "self, that's an odd way to park in front of your house, but, hey, it's your house"; b) knock on the door and ask the people why they chose to park in the middle of the street, noting that it might be illegal and dangerous; c) drive back across the river to get a pencil and paper, come back and leave a note suggesting that it is not a good idea to park in the middle of the street, or d) call the FPD and report that there is a car parked in the middle of the street, which you think might be a hazard and your pretty sure isn't legal.
