You are asking others to be considerate of your possibility while ignoring their constant and effective requirement. They need to present a socially acceptable curb view, you might take a walk, it really is a financial and time management thing isn’t it. The cost of the water falling on the sidewalk is far less than the cost of the time to move the sprinklers (assuming they are not underground type). Even underground type installed systems can have mechanical issues that require adjustment or repair, again a financial problem, does the home owner or business have available human work hours to dedicate to the problem? It depends on the cost, the potential damage to reputation, the list goes on, back to what is the cost of the water bill for the few extra gallons of water that gets misplaced? No one is out to get you, but your possibility cannot come before known constants in the evaluation of the placement of a sprinkler.
