My Teabagger, lawn-obsessed neighbor sees drought restrictions as govt. control

[callous taoboy]

I've been letting parts of my lawn just brown out, but being concerned about some of my older post oak trees I was out watering on my Wednesday watering day and she told me she'll water her hot-spots whenever she wants, sees our level 4 restrictions as "government control."

:banghead:

1. yep. I see you live in Texas,too.

Lake OC Fisher, in San Angelo, is completely dry.
Tell the bitch THAT

9. That is ugly what you said...

about the lake in San Angelo, that is.
:evilgrin:

I've taken to showering every other day, and turning the water off to lather / soap up. I'm catching the drip from my A.C. as well and using that to water.

[monmouth]

2. Here in Palm Beach they have the same attitude, let the sprinklers

go all of the time. Repub as the town is they are handing out some steep fines so I hope that works.

[bluestateguy]

3. Who does she think makes it possible for there to be running water in the first place?

Not the almighty private sector.

She can always go down to the store, buy jugs of bottled water and use them to water her lawn as much as she pleases.

4. They're like 4 year olds

They don't want to participate in a community. Hope they like the tickets they are going to get.

[Kennah]

6. Not entirely true

They want free stuff and they don't wanna pay for it.

Umm, OK, you're right. They are like 4 year olds.

[ejpoeta]

18. then they bitch about freeloaders. they'll be the first one's complaining when there is no more

water left!

[11 Bravo]

12. Welcome to DU!

I hate the fucking Yankees, but seriously, glad you're here!

:hi:

[Kennah]

5. Does she drive an H2 Hummer?

[hedgehog]

7. Gee, it'd be too bad if someone notifies the water board ......

[callous taoboy]

10. I'm tempted, but she'd know it was me.

She doesn't do it during daylight hours, so she'd know it was me. After her husband jumped my shit during the run-up to the 2004 election, calling me among other things a "goddamned liberal," I'd rather not stir anything up with them.

22. Be even worse if Roundup got spread all over her yard, too. n/t

[XemaSab]

8. Tell her that you hope she enjoys

$20 a pound beef all winter. :banghead:

[hifiguy]

11. These dipshits see demons

tattooed on the insides of their own eyelids. It's a wonder they have enough brainpower to even breathe.

[dtexdem]

13. Yes, NEEDED government control.

Government control needed to control jackasses like your neighbor.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. +1

[Renew Deal]

14. Tell her the fluoride in the water is bad for her "hot spots."

:tinfoilhat:

[eShirl]

15. oo, that'll show the mean old government

I'm sure she's proud of herself.

[EFerrari]

16. Tell her it's government responding to the Lord.

lol

[surrealAmerican]

17. It is government control ...

... which is apparently necessary, since people like your neighbor won't stop wasting water otherwise.

[Worried senior]

19. They can't have

our Great Lakes water either.

[Gemini Cat]

20. Where do these self-indulgent assholes come from!?

Her fucking hot spot, indeed. I guess I understand why you can't report her, but she needs to be reported.

[arcane1]

21. She should switch to Brawndo. It's got electrolytes that plants crave! n/t

[NutmegYankee]

25. Heh, you can take it down the All Natural path.

Salt - the All Natural Organic Roman Empire Proven Effective Method to wipe out plant life! Hey, if it's all natural it must be good!

[WinkyDink]

23. See, it's morons like her for whom the Mortgage Deduction should be eliminated. Too much govt!

[kenny blankenship]

26. ZOMG! Did you tell her what the Gummint puts in that water?

She better not drink any more of it! That's where your Government Control all comes from - fluoride! And why do you suppose they call it brain washing anyhow? Boiling won't get rid of it neither, unless you build a full alembic still and distill the stuff out of the tap into pure H2O. Tell her you drink only rainwater you collect yourself since you can't trust the government controlled water bottlers not to put fluoride in their distilled water jugs (they hide it in the plastic!), and since the Government revenuers are always looking for people who order alembic parts out of chemical supply catalogs, to lock them up.
