advance apologies for a waste of space

but i wanted to thank the thread creator for making this. i initially began posting a reply, and realized it was close to 3000 words. maybe more - nothing dramatic, hateful, or theatrical...more like random annoyances i've never quite expressed to anyone elsewhere.
realizing the text tsunami was..lets just say it was odd or perhaps slightly worried i'd come off as a serial-killer or something - i backed out

my point being is that i can't believe how much better i felt after that haha, just had to say thanks dude!

Yeah, I also hate it when I've typed out a long reply and the internet dies the moment I hit post, deleting the post.

I understand fully. But you dont know the half of it, Im a writer, and mid last year I had written a full 240 pages worth of work, and had a power failure just as I hit save. This corrupted my entire hard drive and the sudden shutdown and powersurge fried a goodly amount of expensive electrical goods.

What made it worse was the fact that when I went to check what had caused it, I found the large steel box that houses the fuses, backup generator, and power grd for my house had been forced open with a crowbar and a my neighbour's filthy brats were playing inside. One saw me, called me something extremely racist, and fled, the other I had to expunge by grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and dragging it before it's parents.

That cost me $900 of repairs and another $1600 in lost profits. I managed to lean on the family responsible to cover most of that, and then made sure it never happened again by rewiring my engineering shed so as to run a painful electric current through the shed's outer casing and lock.

I would also advise you Veteran, of a very important life lesson: Speak your mind, you'll earn a lot more respect by being honest and abrasive than by being a sugary suck-up. Just look at me for example, I'm grouchy, abnoxious, and a seemingly exist only to spread the darker sort of thoughts, but I always tell the truth and speak my mind, regardless of what people will be offended by. It's a good habit to get into. Because nobody respects a liar-or a politician.

I really hate parents-hell people in general-who dont see the point of law. Law is an extremely fundamental part of society. It's vital to have concrete, enforced laws and it's vital to have personal laws that you enforce on yourself. I hate parents that think that because they let their misbegotten brats run free and behave like animals, that all others effected should just stand by and let them walk all over them.

What I hate even more is people who percieve that their way is the way that all should ascribe to.

One vital laws is personal space, personal property. My house is the place I go to get away from all the shambling unwashed filth out there. The garden in particular is particularly important. Out the front it's mostly umbrella vine and other barbed, fanged, posionous or otherwise unwelcoming plants. I like fanged umbrella trees, they remind me of myself. Still alive, but so twisted and disliking of the world that almost their entire extrerior is made of barbs and thorns, all in an effort to preserve what decency is left in the centre. In the tree's case, it's water, in case, it's morality and a personal code of honour.

The back garden however is by comparison, a sanctum of calm. While the front is specificaly meant to be unwelcoming and unkind, the back is high walled, private, and thanks to new additions to the fences, impossible to enter without my consent. The main features being a number of increasingly rare mostly local plants and wildflowers, a large spider and insect population, and most importantly, nobody else to ruin it-or any consideration for anyone else. My girlfriend and I have this one single place to ourselves.

So when someone, knowing this, deliberately let her children play in it. I got rather angry. See, she just phoned me while I was at work one day and told me her kids would be playing in my yard, No choice for me, no ability to enforce my rules, she just expected that I would roll over and play along, and that her filthy unwashed swine could wander onto my most private of property without dire consequences.

I usualy call the police if someone gets into my back yard, it's my own property and I take it very seriously when people violate my rights to that privacy. It's for that reason I have a catbar along the top of my fence when nobody in the neighbourhood owns a cat. This offended me greatly and I thus told her exactly what I'd done to the last kids who'd broken in. She told me that I was "a heartless male without a father" and that she'd "send the over anyway"" I told her that the only way they'd get in would be to break in, and that if they did that, she'd be getting them back in pieces.

When I finaly got home the whole place was a mess, turf ripped up, windows broken, car and motorbike tyres slashed(not even my bike-I'd been fixing it for a friend so she didnt have to pay for minor repairs I could do just as skillfuly) and two unwashed, dirty, unhealthily thin looking brats playing in my ransacked study. It's actions like this that make me angrier than anything else.

I talked about laws earlier-one of my most concrete laws is to always show respect for my fellow human. The most disrecpectful action possible being to deny their importance or rights. My property, my rules, acting as if my property was yours to command is an insult that neither can nor will be tolerated or go unpunished.

I went over to her house and found her passed out, drunk on the sofa, drool dripping from a mouth so distended by overeating it resembled a frog's. At that point it's a good thing the police arrived, or I probably would have shot it. I cant really describe to you just how angry I was at that point, she had pushed every proverbial button I have so hard that I felt tempted to just to scream. I've only ever snapped twice, that was one of them, since what I said when she woke up was actualy the most uncivilised thign I've ever said.

A person's private retreat should be left alone. People who violate that can expect to pay, dearly.

Not a problem. I had a feeling this'd be a good thing (kinda theraputic). Get POed, vent in here, feel better, carry on. It's all good :thumbsup:

Wow. That's a lot to take in Vindekarr. I actually felt mad at those stupid little (Use your imagination...)

My backyard is nothing special, but as its a private place sort of thing, I put 8 foot high fences around it.

I like the backyard. Especially in Summer, as the canopy of trees makes a nice, dispersed shadow type of cover.

People who randomly pm you even though they've never spoken to you asking you to make their mods. Gah, that's what the request forum's for!

It's less of a problem now for me, I've grown since then and learned how to deal with incursions:

You'd be amazed how easy it is to keep unwanted visitors out if you're determined enough. I use cat rollers these days-they're a lot more legal than the glass shards or bird lime, and a lot more hilarious to see in action.

It's basicaly a tube along the top of the fence that rolls when touched and is very slippery, I've already had a few lolz watching those kids fall off it, it's also completely legal and only cost me a few tens of dollars for the whole yard-since it's all PVC pipe at heart.

Nonetheless it's not what's in my garden, it's who isnt in my garden. I like it because it has 8.5 foot high roller topped fences, a population of mildly venomous yet extremely agressive wold spiders(some of whom are daughters of my first pet wolf spider) and a total blessed absence of anyone else.

Im fairly sociable at work, but when I'm at home I usualy preffer to be left well enough alone by people I dont know. Friends and loved ones are welcome-nobody else is, and so despite seeming like total overkill, cat rollers paired with a strategicaly line of paving stones are a logical solution when your former neighbour refuses to see your property as sovreign and allows children to try and leap the fence.

I like to keep a part of my back yard as a desertscape, it's bare sand, literaly nothing bigger than bacteria lives in it, and thats the way I like it. As far as I'm concerned it's the most beautiful part of the garden because it's completely devoid of life and its struggles.

A completely, perfectly, quiet oasis, made so by the total obliteration of all life in it and an overzealous pass from a brushflamer.

Seeing the name of this thread reminds me of this old bit they used to do on MadTV. This guy would come out in a towel, all pissed off looking, and yell to the audience
