I(25F) and my girlfriend(24F) recently moved into a really nice townhome. We love the townhome as the location is very close to both of our jobs. Our neighbors on our left side brought us over some sweets when we first moved in. Our neighbors on the right are down south for the winter.
My girlfriend is in the army and we put an army flag up on the left side of the porch. My parents gave us a pride flag which we put on the other side of our porch. We did check with our HOA and having flags is not a violation.
Our neighbors on the left came over in the afternoon asking if we could take down the pride flag. My girlfriend told them that it was our property and not breaking any violations. The husband was very upset and told her that we would be hearing from the HOA. We did settle things with the HOA and the flag is still up. Our neighbors now are glaring at us whenever we see them.
AITA for not removing a flag from my front porch?
It's an article website, which shares a lot of views with distributism. They are localist conservatives.
So, we have 4 kids all under the age of 9 and they were playing in the house while my wife and I were picking up in preparation for the evening. We ordered Chinese delivery for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a tradition in her family to do so, so we thought we would keep it alive, seeing as how we were in a different state than the rest of our family this year. Oh, we also just got a 4 month old puppy who is the sweetest, but she has been chewing on everything. Between her and the 1yr old nothing in my house will survive the next 6 months. ANYWAY the doorbell must have rung because the baby is trying to open the door. I open the door with one hand on the puppy collar and the other on the baby. Of course it is the delivery guy with two giant bags of food. So I get one hand free by holding the dog back with my foot and tell the 1 yr old to get the door while I grab the food. she successfully closes the door because she is a badass.
Cut to the next ten minutes. I clear the table and counter for the food, start loading up plates and get all the children seated around the table. But then my wife asks..., “where is the baby?” I count and confirmed there were only 3 kids at the table. Sh*t. So I run around the house calling for “the goof” as we have affectionately nicknamed her and hear nothing. So then I stop and listened and hear her crying outside.
Apparently a week ago she learned how to open the front door. My wife and I have been diligent about keeping it locked because she will just go and take herself for a walk, like a champ. However, if you recall, “the goof” closed the door this time, not me. Crap.
Well, not only did she let herself out (child endangerment) she was buck naked ( indecent exposure) after removing her own diaper (littering) and screaming (noise violation). I pick her up and comfort her then she lets me know the news, “DaDa, Poop!”.
Sure enough, she had squeezed out a massive adult sized dump on my front porch on my extension cords for the Christmas lights. (Defecating in public).
It is moments like these that make being a parent interesting, enjoyable, frustrating, terrifying, and joyous. Much love to all you parents out there fighting the good fight to maintain the illusion of order in your household.
They signed "front door" i was lucky no one picked it up it was there all morning....
Edit: grammar
Can seriously fuck right off. Unless there’s a damn good reason someone is physically unable to do so but a heads up would still be nice. And if they don’t care about their delivery drivers, they could at least have some consideration for their mail carriers who have to deal with that bullshit every single day.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by any of this crap but the blatant disregard for someone else’s safety just pisses me off.
Hey guys, this just happened about an hour ago. I'm home alone so no one else saw it. I don't even know why I turned and looked out on my front porch, but there was this white, round ball of light just bobbing up and down on my porch. It's dark out. So my first thought was someone is out there with a light looking in my front window. I got up and started walking over there and it disappeared. I opened the front door and looked around. No one was out there. The desk I'm sitting at is only about 8 steps from my front door. So it's not like they would have had much time to run away if it was someone holding a light. Plus, the way it looked... It looked like a full moon. Like, a light would be brighter in the center where the bulb is and dimmer around the edges, etc. This looked like a round white ball of light, and it was just moving up and down on my porch.
Idk if this qualifies as a glitch or it belongs more in a paranormal sub. But I thought I would share anyway. Hope everyone is having a good New Year's Eve Eve.
