Shocker: Dumbass neighbor was a lawyer
 
2009-08-08 11:10:51 AM
While I generally oppose a lot of the anti-smoking laws that are imposed on businesses, you don't get to do something "in your own backyard" if it infringes on my use and enjoyment of MY own backyard. If your irrigation system dumps on my backyard, you've got a problem. If your tree grows and hangs over my yard and drops shiat all over it, you've got a problem. Why should smoke be any exception?

kronicfeld: it infringes on my use and enjoyment of MY own backyard

If there's enough wind to blow i to your yard, there's enough wind to dissipate the smoke to far below noxious and dangerous levels. Man up Nancy.

Where's the line? Can they barbecue goats back there 24/7?

If one of my neighbors EVER complained to me about smoking on my property outside, they would get an earful. If they took legal actions, I'd just get a diesel generator and some box fans hooked up to floodlights and smoke the bastards out as often as possible. Maybe get some trucks to idle outside their home as well.
Then, fire code permitting, I'd burn paper for extra smokey goodness bright and early every morning they were outside.

Actually, it's your problem. You can trim any bush that hangs over into your property. Also if a neighbor's tree falls and crushes your house, it's your home owners claim and not theirs.

/Neighbor's tree missed my house by less than 6". Blocked my driveway for a weekend though.

I enjoy spraying tear gas into the air in my back yard.

My neighbor biatches about how it makes her asthmatic four year old daughter fall over and pass out, but fark that shiat, she can't tell me what to do.

My neighbor's tree crushed my car. Their homeowner's insurance paid for it. Please tell me why this would be different if their tree would have hit my house.

I don't care if you smoke cancer sticks in your own house, car, etc.

Just don't flick your cigarettes out of the car window when you're driving. It makes me want to wish you would die in a slow painful manner.

Sybarite: Every time there's a link to the local I end up browsing the out on the town pics, partly for the hot Swedes and partly for bizarre shiat like this.

As do I. And check out the pic of the "Swedes make the best husbands" article.

Me too. Can't get enough of those beautiful women.

As for the topic at hand, feel free to smoke in your yard if your yard is nextdoor to mine. I can't stand anti-smoking crusaders. And I don't even smoke.

Fine. You don't get to hang out breathing fresh air in your backyard if it infringes on my ability to enjoy having a cigarette in mine.

I would spray Liquid Fart on the fence everyday.
 
2009-08-08 12:51:06 PM
If I had this problem with a neighbour, I'd probably just replace the fence with a wall of turbine fans, and turn it on whenever I'm outside.

Cigarettes, like their noisy cousins airhorns, are a scourge on society as a whole. When I was in my backyard enjoying blowing my airhorn as most people do on warm Sunday mornings, My neighbor kept complaining and complaining until I reminded her that her smoking could also be annoying to other people. She understood and never smoked since and I enjoy my Sunday morning airhorn blowing to this day.

The hell. I spent money on those cigarettes, 90% of which was tax revenue. I'm doing my part to help the economy every time I light up.

If you were my neighbor you would need to check you breaks every day. LOL

I don't care for cigarette smoke much, but I'd rather have a smoker for a neighbor than this drama queen.

because smoke is a lot less bothersome. If you want to get into "can I get a whiff of it for one second during the time my neighbor hangs out all day" then you'd better ban all sorts of shiat from grills to flowers.

I don't complain when prissy pissants like you stink up the elevator with their cologbe or perfume. Go fark yourself

When I first started noticing MstD, I thought it was cute that some ESL exchange student was using Fark to help polish her colloquial english.

But now ... she doesn't bring insight, or teh funny or even the snark.

Just the Stoopid.

She may be my first ignore.

MindGasm: My neighbor's tree crushed my car. Their homeowner's insurance paid for it. Please tell me why this would be different if their tree would have hit my house.

I called my insurance company and they told me that, unfortunately, it would be my claim if there was any damage. Unless we could prove that the neighbor was at fault (i.e. gross neglect or they were cutting it down and it landed on the house) it wouldn't be under their claim. Fortunately no damage, no claim and the neighbor paid to have it removed from my driveway/yard.

Why?

You want to go after someone, go after the dicks who throw their chewing gum on the ground. Now, they deserve to die slowly and painfully.

I gave up tobacco in '86. I hate the smell of cigarettes. But I could really care less if my neighbors smoke in their back yard.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Was this caused by the smoking of a person or something?

Because I'm a fiend for nicotine and if I can't enjoy a motherfarking cigarette in my own goddamn backyard then the next thing to come wafting over the fence will be bullets.

I know a woman who moved into a house with poor ventilation,etc. Shortly after moving in she experienced a variety of allergies. Her doctor told her it was because her father smoked when she was a child. She is in her 60's.
This smoking witch hunt is such bullshiat.

Interesting comment. When I lived in Canada I felt the same way, as in that all smokers were dirtbags. But now I live in the UK where practically everyone smokes. I find it difficult to label 98% of people around me as dirtbags. I've lightened up about the whole thing as a result.

I'm not saying that they're dirtbags but most of the ones I know (some of which are friends) get wildly defensive about the topic and deny that their smoking affects anyone else, just because they can't smell it anymore.

And every smoker during their dozen breaks (that I can't take because I don't smoke) where I work and go to school couldn't care less about the smoking zones and always have to save that lungfull of smoke to breathe out when they come back into the building. But you know me, I don't complain.

I find it rather odd that the "smoke makes me ill" folks don't get sick at BBQ's, pot and crack parties, driving their gas guzzling cars, living in big polluted cities, living in formaldehyde insulated mansions, using latex condoms and nonoxynol-9, drinking milk with antibiotics and hormones in it, drinking flavored corn syrup from plastic bottles, digging in their asses and sniffing their fingers, cheap perfume made from whale shiat,(they claim it's puke, but it smells like shiat to me),snorting coke laced with ashes of coleman lantern mantles, etc.

I wish the pinko commie christian zealots (aka downlow prison punks) that whine about how a law needs to be made to control people they hate,would just hurry up and die of AIDS or HEP C, or a BULLET.

Using your same logic. Your BBQ smoke, pet sh*t odors, dryer vent, perfume/cologne, and cooking smells make their way into my back yard when the wind is right. It infringes on my and enjoyment of My backyard. We have a problem.

I also don't like your music at a volume where I can hear it outside in my back yard. Your ring tone, which I can hear from my backyard, is too loud. How should any of this be an exception?

I support requiring everybody who gets uptight about others' smoking to wear breathing masks.
