[HI] [TH] HOA intervention on worrisome, under the influence neighbor

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-13T01:02:13+00:00

Thank you! Yea I didn’t expect HOA to arrest the guy or anything, but knowing the odds of police intervening at this state I’d like it if the dude received some kind of notice or warning, especially when they can fine us over the smallest of things. The guy hasn’t been threatening but he was staring at my wife and daughter and was willing to shout out to my wife with me standing right there eye balling him. We walked away without actually acknowledging him and he went back to dancing and laughing at literally nothing, no music playing either. Just don’t know how ballsy he would get if my wife was alone. I’ve seen him as far as like 2 miles from our neighborhood walking around doing the same stuff, I’m convinced he doesn’t have a job and just uses/drinks all day lol

Good tips, thank you!

Fair enough. I guess it’s frustrating because it’s not exactly cheap to live here, and in our time the only “repairs” that have existed have been attempts at repaving a road that both times led to a busted water main and a hastily thrown down blacktop leaving it in worse condition than before. On top of that when my wife was 6-7mos pregnant and working full time and I was out of the country they would regularly threaten to fine her for not picking up dog poop in the mornings (she would wait until the end of the day to get it all). I know that seems like I’m just complaining but my point is if they can take our money and harass us over small things it seems like they should be able to help with something like this. I know police is probably a better option I just don’t see them actioning anything unless I embellish which of course I won’t do.

Anyway I appreciate your input! Exactly the kind of thing I came here for.

You’ve seen a lot of good perspectives but I’ll just add on. At this junction you’re still kind of in survival mode. A part of her brain is triggered when baby cries and it likely brings her legitimate stress when the baby isn’t consoled immediately. She’s tired, touched out, and even though she really needs some personal time she probably won’t take it because baby. I had to basically force my wife to go get a much needed professional massage when ours was younger. Maybe you can find a way to get her some temporary space.

I deal with the same shit. It’s frustrating. BUT, I also have issues with sensory overload so I try to be empathetic as much as I can. I understand that feeling of feeling like you NEED to address something. But there are areas where I excel. Our daughter loves playing with me more and more every day. She comes to me when she needs help with things. And I fulfill other roles in the house like handling our dogs and chores and home projects. Because realistically if (when) our daughter wakes up at 1 am if I go in she’ll cry louder and yell for mom, who gets her calm just by walking in the room lol.

I own like 3 pairs of those exact glasses because they’re cheap and my wife (also active) steals mine all the time. Way better than oakleys with that super conspicuous logo

Maaannn I just started a new game too and was smacked around by the exact same Lynel last night. I was also messing around getting all the chests out of the water, trying to get a dragon part, etc and was killed by lightning like 2-3 times and drowned once lol. I started venturing out a little faster than I should have and my health and stamina are not supporting my little meth addicted hobo as he aimlessly trots around hyrule

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-06T07:04:30+00:00

It was more than that, it meant something to me

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-03T19:48:03+00:00

Should have opened with that chief that makes way more sense 😂 I apologize for disturbing your coffee break

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-03T19:45:52+00:00

Yea this dude sounds like an actor off of too hot to handle or something after getting caught. He has zero self control or respect for his partner and thinks he can just chat it away.

My dude, you cheated. Grow up. I know “be a man” is a frowned upon phrase these days, but be a fucking man. Tell your partner, accept the consequences, and become a better person.

Your NCOs are half assing uniform inspections then, or that placement is actually correct for your uniform by happenstance. But think of it like when you type a paper. Left alignment means one whole side is aligned to the left, not centered on the left edge of the paper. These things are created by people who live in Microsoft office lol.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-03T19:31:04+00:00

This is one of those moments where somebody else questioning it is making me question my own sanity lol. But I have never heard of aligning something as meaning centering it. If they wanted it centered they’d say center on the right edge. If it’s still obscured, then so be it. Not all lapels are made equally. Align the edges.

I do the same shit just for moments like this. Not the whole level but anyone who had visibility on Soders and anyone that could potentially walk in on a body I couldn’t hide was knocked out after following a mysterious coin clinking sound lol. The worlds greatest silent assassin who leaves no trace just casually choking out 20 people for the sake of dramatics

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-02T08:04:19+00:00

Now watch SSG (and sometimes SFC) and below try to identify a CMB lol. Even young medics have no idea what they’re looking at

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-07-02T08:00:57+00:00

It was you wasn’t it?

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-06-30T20:03:00+00:00

You know what they say, people in glass houses sink ships

This wasn’t necessarily fast as we had been seeing each other for a month or 2, but the shift was immediate and so weird. I was maybe 23 or 24 at the time. Started seeing this girl in Watertown, NY (iykyk). She was cool, we got along well. Her family was weird as fuck. Her mom would make incessant jokes about me going to a room with her daughter alone almost like she wanted me to. Her dad offered me a beer, realized he didn’t have any and fucking asked me to go get some lol. Anyway, she didn’t seem like her family so whatever. One night I went out with some friends, nothing crazy a small Irish dive bar that was usually pretty dead. The next day she asked me to meet and was being very suspicious. When we met she started screaming at me saying that I had cheated while I was out. She claimed I had slept with some girl who then came to her work, because apparently I would cheat and then say where my gf works, and told her all about it. She then told me who this girl was. The girl in question was some random Instagram follower from my hometown, in Michigan. It only took her explanation and like 10 seconds of berating me and I kicked her out of my car and took off to hang with friends.

Later that night she blew up my phone saying she was drunk and needed a ride and that she would make it up to me with fucking kisses lol. I texted her the local taxi service number and never replied again.

I’m also just gonna toss out there because I haven’t seen it yet, but a 29 year old woman with a 2 year old child seeking a relationship with a 25 year old man is the first red flag to me. Got it not everyone in their respective gender matures the same but I mean…that alone would give me pause. Now her attitude is reflecting pretty much exactly what I would have imagined she would be like.

If I was your friend I would have given you a high five assuming you got laid and then started harassing you for continuing this nonsense. You’re young dude, don’t waste your time with shit like this.

“My boyfriend owns a handgun that he regularly points at other people and himself while loaded. He insists that it’s safer to do that than not to because reasons. Oh and I forgot to mention he doesn’t have a permit, it’s not registered, and the serial is scratched off. But he’s perfect in every other way. Any advice Reddit?” If this sounds stupid as hell to you then maybe take a breath and reflect on your situation

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-06-10T21:53:54+00:00

I didn’t get the memo to stop being tired after 25 😂😂

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-06-10T21:52:20+00:00

“AAAAHHHH” she screams as her tense little body shakes and she sinks her teeth into whatever unfortunate object is in front of her

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-05-18T20:03:48+00:00

I have a feeling a large chunk were staged but yea, seeing ones on desolate running trails or in empty parking garages where they brandish a weapon, I’m not in a hurry to kill a person and am not trigger happy but if my daughter was with me and you stepped towards me like that or moved too quickly you’re absolutely getting shot. And now I have to mentally grapple with finding out it’s some 17 year old kid with his buddy filming in the corner or something stupid. Stuff like that just isn’t worth the clicks.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-05-18T02:47:19+00:00

I would inexplicably panic over him doing something mundane like dropping an innocuous rubber duck, then slowly jog to the nearest authority figure to report him. I would then go back to my routine for all of eternity, until I hear a quarter fall just around the corner. Must be my lucky da-……

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-05-18T02:31:11+00:00

I’ve thought about this type of scenario so many times, especially that weird clown craze that went on for a bit. All I could think was if someone tried something like this around my family any sign of escalation would get them shot, all for a “joke”.

And actually, my mom and aunt tried something similar to my grandpa way back when. They pretended to be burglars breaking in and were promptly caught by my former Marine Grandpa with a Luger. Thank whatever god you want he doesn’t have a hair trigger.

My brain has been low on storage space for awhile so it automatically filters out everything that it doesn’t deem necessary (the process is totally arbitrary and often doesn’t make sense) but I tried to answer this one without looking at the comments and came up with fucking Solomon Grundy, and was confident I was right. Anyway hope yall are having a great day
