5against1`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll If you got an incredibly STUPID violation in the mail, would you comply??...My 13 yr old is in2 graffiti art. So, I let him paint the address on2 our 2 garbage pails in like 3 colors w a design. My neighbor called the town and complained, now I have a violation and it has 2 be removed!! I want to fight this, because its a frikken garbage pail, not my house!! I know this sounds childish, but I feel like going to get 10 cans of neon spray and have him go nuts on allll our pails! LOL Would you fight something so little? I want to, just to prove a point to my neighbor.
(Other poll by 5against1, 817 days ago)
Fight it! Dont let your neighbor think she can get you fined for GARBAGE PAILS!
Just do what the paper says and get new pails. (these 2 pails cost me $120!!)

if the trash can is town or city property thats one thing but it is quite stupid if they violate you for your own property :S

WOW!! I can`t believe your neighbor is so nasty! I woud so fight it. I mean your garbage pails are your own property and you should be able to do as you wish with them. I would also make a comment to your neighbor or I would rat her out for something like having a ugly tree. I mean art is art and who is she to judge it? I am sure some people think picasso was ugly art and yet look at the price of his work!

I would check with the city. If it`s ok to do this then I would fight. (Show him that you stand behind him 100%) If you can`t then I would do the right thing and fix it. (Showing him that rules are rules, no matter what you feel is right.)

No, no HOA around here. They are only visible the 2 mornings i put the pails to the street. She is just an uppity bit** who makes her husband run outside every time a leaf falls on their grass. She made a comment to me when she saw him writing it. It doesnt look `ghetto`. Its just our house # and a squiggle!!

HOA= Homeowners association. Rules and regs for living in a particular neighborhood. Like gated communites and such. You can`t paint your house or doors certain colors..etc. etc...

Graffiti is art in many ways. So dumb I think. My brother has been into graffiti his whole life. He got a scholarship to study art in Spain. he knows paints graffitti murals all over spain and gets paid for it. So dumb that some people think this is a violation. In other countries, it`s art. I`d fight it. As long as he`s not damaging other`s properties without consent, lol..FIGHT it

Whats a HOA?? I live on a busy street in a jersey suburb. They are my pails. I have no pic, but it literaly says `461` (our house #) with a squiggle detail on 2 sides in red n yellow.

Also were the pails owned by the town or yours that you purchased? That may make a difference ~

Do you live in an HOA? If you do look in all the paper work to see if it is clarified in there that it is not allowed. If not fight it ~ got a photo of it to share?

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
