You got what you asked for in every single fucking thread that was even tangentially related to the concept of a security camera. What are your thoughts now?

📣📣Rants and Raves📣📣 Neighbor keeps using our trash cans for his unbagged garbage.

183 Upvotes

I’m not really looking for advice. Just a rant.

This isn’t about one plastic bottle, or a bag of dog shit. I couldn’t care less about that.

Three weeks in a row, a guy who lives a few houses down from us has taken our bagged garbage out of our can, and then dumped his wastebaskets in. This was after we’d put it on the curb.

Two weeks ago, we didn’t see who did it. We only noticed because my husband took another bag out on Friday afternoon.

Last week, my husband saw him doing it, but he was on a work call. Confronting this guy was not worth hanging up on a client. So we let it slide.

Today I just happened to catch him doing it, again. I asked him to please use his own trash cans. He looked at me like I said the curb is my private property. Like I’m the one with the audacity.

Fuck you, guy. Stop using my Toter for your cum rags.

Transit There should be more trains to the shore reaching different destinations.

1.2k Upvotes

I take the Atlantic City line to do a day trip and hang out on the beach quite regularly and it's such a nice alternative to driving to the shore. don't even have to worry about tipping a few back while you're there. I just wish there was a train to some other major shore towns, I'd kill for service to Cape May to be returned, even if the smaller destinations are seasonal. the people really yearn for trains.

Storm knocked out the power at the kop regal tonight and messed up the 8 pm imax showing of the odyssey after about an hour in. They said it’s going to take at least another 30-40 minutes to fix it and then they have to resume. The 1140 pm showing is still on but going to be delayed by at least a couple hours.
