In my current development (about 100 houses) those with kids that run rabid on the road hate when I stop and tell them if I run their kids over it's not my fault, so they don't like me. Everyone else thinks I have good wine.

LMAO Do they play football or any other sports in the road too?


I live across from a condominium complex and around a lot of older Germans and single mothers. I rarely see any of these people. I am known for keeping a clean "yard" and wearing a lot of corduroy. I am also probaly seen as a ghetto blaster by the few who seen me in a car..

I am the guy with the twins, who stops everybody with a dog so that the twins can pet the dog.

My girlfriend has a Lhasa Apso, which I walk on occasion. I'm sure it is an odd sight.

I'm the mysterious guy. I say hi to my neighbors when I see them outside, but other than that, they don't know **** about me. They don't know what I do for a living, what my name is, how old I am, nothing.

I am "the bike guy." Most people think I'm strange and don't say hi to me, but when their kid's bike has something wrong, they direct the kid straight to my house. I'm also "the trash guy" picking up after all the lazy d-bags littering everywhere.

I am a terrorist who floods people's apartments because I fall asleep in the shower. That or I'm some sort of drug addict who falls asleep in the shower and floods people's apartments. Also, I'm a renter, so that = second class citizen here.

I'm the guy who has been living in the same neighborhood for 23 years but gets dirty looks by the new families that have moved in who are probably saying to themselves "who is this young punk that just moved in tho the neighborhood driving too fast."

I'm also the guy who left a dirty vulgar letter in his neighbors mailbox after they though it was ok to allow their children to blast the Miley Cyrus Discography early every Sunday morning during the summer while they were outside in their pool.

I used to rent a condo in a building where most people owned. It was terrible. The usual first conversation when meeting people would go something like this:

Me: "Hi, I'm odoreater, we just moved in."
Them: "Do you own or rent?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm doing pretty good, how are you doing?"
Them: "Do you own or rent?"
Me: "Do you prefer the Roth IRA or the 401(k)?"

I mean, wtf? Your first question to a person you just met asks them about the type of tenancy they have in their apartment? That's just rude.
